"SHYNESS" in terms of Psychology.

salam!!! My name is  and today my topic is Shyness

Why do you afraid of people and stage performances.

here is diagnosis and troubleshoot of Shyness.

Shyness is a common sort of mild fear. if It's mild, it doesn't really spoil life. Many of us get a bit worried before meeting new people but find that, once we are with them, we can cope and even enjoy the situation. A phobia is also fear. we all have fears about things such as heights and spiders but, for most of us, they don't really stop us from doing what we want to do. A fear becomes a phobia when it stops us from enjoying things or doing them easily.

If you have a social phobia, you get very anxious when you are with other people, usually because you worry that:

they may be critical of you:

you may do something embarrassing.

This can be so bad that you can't enjoy being with pwople or speaking in fromt of them. You avoid social situations altogether. This leaflet describes that it is like to have a social phobia, how you can help yourself and and some the help you can find for this.

DIAGNOSIS

Social Skills Training

This can help you to feel more relaxed and confident in company. It does this by teaching some of the simple social skills that we tend to take fro granted- like how to start a conversation with a stranger. You can practice with other people and do what is called "feedback' - people watch themselves practising on video to get an idea of what they are doing and how they appear to other people.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY

Social phobia is tied up very closely with the thoughts that you have about yourself, the world and the people around you- we can make ourselves anxious by the way that we thing about things. This treatment helps you to change the way that you think about yourself and other people.

The therapist will help you to be aware of;

1) any unhelpful rules, assumptions or predictions that you regularly use -- and the physical sensations you get when they go through  your mind;

2) any safety behaviours

3) the unhelpful impact on your behaviour of thinking about these things all the time- and the connections between these and your anxiety.
