Obliterate Social Anxiety! --- "When you do what you fear the most, the death of fear is certain." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) If you have social anxiety, you also just have to start taking action towards your fear just for the sake of moving towards your fear. Do it to develop your character. I talk about this concept more in the previous video I uploaded "Pearly Penile Papules". I got the observational statements thing from my friend Shogo Garcia (http://www.youtube.com/shogogarcia). Going about your day making observational statements is huge. It's a great way to stay engaged in the here and now & to get our of your head. It's also great to just get into the practice of trying to talk to people everywhere as you go about your day and just being friendly. You never know what new connections will form / what you will learn. I've been practicing the observational statements a lot lately and it's made me much more engaged in life. I'm a very in-my-head type of guy, and the observational statements make me a lot more aware of my surroundings. I'm more in-tune with people and am starting to see / learn things that I would usually zone out, even finding new shops / restaurants in my city that I never would've paid attention too. It's cool also when you can enter a "small talk" flow with new people. Shogo & myself were walking around and met a homeless lady and had a short chat with her about her dog. And then later on a girl walked by with the same breed of dog and Shogo asked the girl about her dog and was able to start a conversation based off the information we learned from the homeless lady. Was really cool how that flowed. If you're social anxiety is very bad and making observational statements is too hard for you, you can start off just by making observational statements in your head to yourself as you go about your day just to start. Here's the first vid I did on social anxiety: http://youtu.be/6UwMqVo9STU I also admit.. I am not a super smooth guy. I'm still quite in my head and can be quite awkward quite a bit still haha. I'm just here as a young guy who's ambitious about improving and willing to share my ideas and what's worked for me so far on my journey :) The times I have socially anxiety the most are during small talk / meeting new people / low stimulation conversations. It's actually easier for me and I feel more "present" when doing a prank for example. I thrive on high-pressure.. it just seems to "wake up" my brain. When small talking with a new stranger lots of times my brain just seems to run at 50% speed and I feel quite awkward a lot lol..
