Social Anxiety and Our Thoughts

One with Social Phobia not only has bodily symptoms as I mentioned earlier, you also have fearful thoughts, or cognitions as well.

Some of these thoughts, for me, include:

• I look out of place
• I sound stupid
• I'll be rejected
• I appear incompetent
• I'm too quiet
• I look nervous

Again, you may experience some of these, and more not on the list.
This is how our minds act in fearful situations.

These are the thoughts that race through my head anytime I am in a social situation. Next time, we will look at how we behave or what we do when we are scared.

Until next time...
