In this “Mental Breakthrough,” host Jessica Reyes and guest Dr. Aziz Gazipura, discuss overcoming social anxiety. Dr. Aziz emphasizes the importance of facing fears and building confidence for anyone struggling with similar challenges.
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety often involves a pattern of avoiding social situations out of fear, worry, and discomfort. However, this avoidance reinforces the anxiety.
Building Confidence and Face Your Fears
The first step to overcoming social anxiety is a willingness to approach what makes you uncomfortable, starting small and gradually increasing challenges as you build your “confidence muscle.”
Self-Assertion
Instead of people-pleasing, learning to say “no” and set boundaries is essential for building inner strength and finding true confidence.
