Social Anxiety

I just read this from a exhibition of the psychology society in NTU.
I din noe about this... think I need a bit of psychology knowledge if I want to do counselling.

Very dangerous Illness being described here:
Social Anxiety

People who have social anxiety tend to:
1. Think very lowly of themselves
2. Magnify mistakes
3. Feel that other people are constantly evaluating them

Bad things that can happen:
A. Avoidance of People
B. Low Self-Esteem
C. Depression
D. Substance Abuse (could be food abuse or even k-box abuse)
E. Academic & Occupational Difficulties
F. Interpersonal Difficulties

The last one is the most disastrous... no help can come to the person.
The 3 Symptoms are very common in varying degrees in all humans.
But the result is a full whammy, perfect recipe for disaster.

And guess what the remedy for this condition is...
The professional term is Exposure.
Which means what it means... Open up oneself to all the situations that caused the problems in the first place.

Which means there is no running it... You just gotta face it, confront it, challenge it and kill it.
If not, it will come back for your soul again and again until u die....
