Stop being a doormat! You know you are, because you are stressed and full of anxiety. Those suffering from social anxiety are higher on the list of doormat placement. Why, because those with social anxiety want to please everyone.
Social anxiety sufferers would rather be a doormat to those around them then to be judged by everyone around them. The problem is being a doormat can increase anxiety and depression.
Social Anxiety Sufferers Stop Being a Doormat!
Social anxiety sufferers listen up because you need this probably more than anyone. You will start following the items below and stop being a doormat today.
- Rehearse saying the word “no” as often as you possibly can. If someone asks you to do something and you planned on doing something else, then politely say no. You don’t have to go into a long drawn out explanation as that will only make you look weak.
- Take care of yourself. This is a big one for anyone, social anxiety sufferers too, as it makes people feel selfish. No one else is going to take care of you so you must take care of yourself; that is not being selfish. Do what you want to do whether it’s gardening, jogging, reading, or napping, take time every day and take care of yourself.
- Give yourself some time before committing to anything. If someone asks you to do something and you might have the time so you don’t want to say no, but you’re not sure, tell them you will think about it. If you are not ready to make a decision do not let anyone rush you.
One more important thing to look out for is to not let anyone manipulate you or make you feel bad for any of the above. You deserve respect, so start giving yourself respect and you will receive it as well.
