What is the difference between being a little shy and having a problem with social anxiety? The real question is whether you are missing out by avoiding situations due to your anxiety. It is important to understand that if you are socially anxious, you are not alone.
Being shy is not your fault. There are three main causes of social anxiety: genetics, how you were raised, and upsetting events that may have triggered your anxiety. One or more of these causes may be at the root of your problem.
This book is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps us understand the connections between our thoughts, our feelings, and our behavior. Avoidance behavior, which is what shy teens do, is caused by feelings of anxiety, which are sparked by spontaneous, often unconscious, automatic thoughts.
The automatic thoughts that lead to avoidance behavior are often inaccurate and distorted. This chapter outlines six of the most common distortions in the thinking of people with social anxiety. Understanding that your thoughts are distorted helps you begin to question them.
Is not making mistakes what really matters? This chapter will outline how unrealistic it is to attempt social perfectionism and will help you identify your own values as a compass to guide how you live your life.
There are two ways of evaluating your thoughts. The first is to figure out how accurate they are, and the second is to see if that way of thinking leads you toward avoidance or toward your values.
Once you have identified your distorted thoughts, you are ready to learn how to come up with some alternative ways of thinking that will help lower your anxiety and help you face situations that are scary for you.
To master social anxiety, you will need to face your fears. There is no better way to challenge your thinking and live the life you want. But dont worry; you dont have to start with the scariest situation. This chapter will show you how to turn situations youve been avoiding into situations you can face.
Here youll learn to develop coping strategies and use realistic goals to make exposures successful.
In this chapter, watch and learn as our socially anxious teen Bella faces her fear of blushing, one rung at a time.
What do you do when you become so anxious that you dont feel like you can do your exposure? What if the thing you are afraid will happen actually happens? These are common challenges, and this chapter will give you strategies for coping with them.
Facing your fear head-on helps you really master your social anxiety. You will learn that you can cope a lot better than you thought. This understanding frees you up to embrace life and to live according to your own rules.
When we get anxious, we often think we suffer alone. We think we are messed up and everyone else is strong and confident. This is not true. Almost everyone gets anxious about something. Some people are afraid of spiders, others worry about lots of different things, and some people get nervous when they have to give a speech or meet new people.
