Erythrophobia is a disease and must be treated!

In this world, each of us has different personalities and hobbies. Some people are extroverted and like to socialize, while others are more introverted and like to stay at home. But some people not only do not go out, but also rarely participate in group activities, or when participating in social activities, they always like to hide in a corner quietly. In fact, this is a social phobia, which requires treatment and conditioning. Erythrophobia is a common type of social phobia. People usually become very nervous, blush, and feel scared when speaking in front of a crowd.

Social phobia is a treatable disease!

Many people who suffer from social phobia think that they just have a simple personality problem, but don’t blame Xiaoxin for not reminding you that social phobia is a disease and must be treated!

Social phobia is a subtype of phobia and a neurosis. Its main manifestation is excessive and unreasonable fear of certain objective things or situations in the outside world. People with social phobia know that their reactions are excessive or unreasonable, but they still suffer from recurring attacks and are difficult to control.

Just like in life, you know that not wanting to communicate with others will make the atmosphere awkward, but you just can’t change it!

These are all considered social phobia!

However, if you think that social phobia is simply being unwilling to deal with people or go to crowded places, you are wrong, because these can only be regarded as general social phobia.

There are many other manifestations in life that also belong to social phobia, but you may not be alert↓↓

1. Fear of red face:

When you speak in front of a group, do you blush due to shyness? Maybe many people do. However, people with erythrophobia will become overly anxious because of this behavior. They think blushing in front of others is shameful and therefore fear others.

2. Fear of sight:

When talking to someone, are you afraid to look them in the eye? Or do you always feel like someone is secretly staring at you? Congratulations, this is sight fear!

3. Expression of fear:

I always feel that I look ugly, feel discriminated against in front of others, and often think that my expression is weird.

4. Fear of the opposite sex:

Simply put, it means being unwilling to interact with the opposite sex, and this is particularly serious when facing leaders of the opposite sex.

5. Communication fear:

When talking with others, I am unable to express my meaning accurately, making it difficult to move the conversation forward. Sometimes I can't even finish speaking.

Surprisingly, right? There are so many types of social phobia! So, why do people get this disease?

Social phobia is not just about being an introvert!

Xiaoxin consulted authoritative information and found that introverted personality is only one of the causes of social phobia. The causes of social phobia are far less "simple" than imagined

1. Endocrine disorders

There is a chemical called "serotonin" in the human body. This substance is responsible for transmitting information to the brain's nerve cells. Too much or too little of it is not good and may cause social phobia.

2. Too much self-esteem

Having too much self-esteem will make you afraid of being rejected, lack confidence in yourself, and then develop a fear of interacting with others.

3. Family education

Growing up under the suppression of your parents, moving too frequently, and your parents never teaching you the ability to interact with others, you will naturally be afraid of getting along with others when you grow up.

I have social phobia, what should I do?

Don't be afraid, social phobia is actually not that scary, it's very easy to overcome it↓↓

Social situation simulations are important

Maybe you think it's silly to do this, but in order to overcome social phobia, you should create more opportunities to communicate with others and practice it on a daily basis.

For example, if you have a close relationship with your parents, communicate with them more and try to talk about various different topics. If you lack communication with your family, try to find a quiet corner and treat tables and benches as strangers to conduct social exercises. Over time, the effect will be obvious.

1. When communicating with others, please look into their eyes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. When communicating with others, eye contact is sometimes more important than words. If you suffer from social phobia, please try to look into the other person's eyes during the limited time you spend communicating with others. If you really can't muster up the courage, you can give yourself some psychological hints or play a little game with yourself in your mind, such as: If I stare at him like this, what will his reaction be?

2. Smile in front of the mirror more often

Most people who suffer from social phobia are not very confident in themselves. If you can smile at the mirror more often and try to accept yourself, you can cultivate your self-confidence when interacting with others.

3. Stay away from negative friends

As a person with social phobia, Xiaoxin probably doesn't have many friends. If many of these friends are full of negative emotions, you will definitely be full of despair about life and making friends. Staying away from negative friends and spending more time with positive people will also keep you away from social phobia.
