Fear of communication is a common problem. Many people feel embarrassed in situations where they need to approach a stranger and strike up a conversation. It is possible to overcome this state only by experience - daily training and experimenting.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, cultivate in your mind the idea that the fear of communication is a complex that you must definitely get rid of. All the arguments that modesty beautifies a person have no practical usefulness. More precisely, do not confuse modesty with shyness. It is the latter that prevents a person from achieving a lot in life.
Step 2
Self-doubt is a constant companion of fear of communication. Fighting two problems at the same time is unlikely to be successful, so for the time being, just forget that you are imperfect. Never try to read the thoughts and emotions of the interlocutor, do not scroll in your head the idea of how badly he thinks of you right now. Forget about how you look, what you are wearing - delve into the topic of conversation.
Step 3
Radical methods of dealing with fear of communication are not suitable for everyone. But you can try to choose a profession where you have to communicate for a long time and a lot with different people. Sign up for foreign language courses, dancing, a sports club - you just have to communicate with new people, and in such conditions you will soon forget about your fears.
Step 4
Increase your sociability. Many people do not have enough time for full-fledged communication - family, work, study, children. Take every chance to talk - chat with your neighbors in the elevator, consult with the seller (even if you don't need advice). At the same time, you will get the necessary workout and have a little fun.
Step 5
Never elevate the problem of communication to the rank of a universal catastrophe. In fact, you will not lose your capital, work or professional skills, so do not pay too much attention to the little things. Get rid of isolation gradually, playfully - start getting to know people on public transport, ask people for help, etc. Gradually, you will notice that communication is not so scary, and the process flows naturally and imperceptibly. When approaching someone with the aim of starting a conversation, remember that the interlocutor is the same person with his own weaknesses and fears, so you do not need to be afraid of him.
