Fear of communication in varying degrees of severity is present in many people. It can only be a slight shyness when talking to a stranger. But if the fear of communication interferes with a full-fledged life of a person, you need to get rid of it.
Instructions
Step 1
Phased loads
This is the first method to get rid of the fear of communication. The idea behind this method is that you have to overcome your fear gradually. Take the smallest step first, such as talking to a store clerk or complimenting a colleague of the opposite sex. Choose an action that takes you out of your comfort zone just a little. Take such small steps until they become ordinary for you. Then complicate the task for yourself and do so until the fear of communication disappears completely or stops causing severe inconvenience.
Step 2
Spontaneous actions
People who are afraid of communication often prepare in advance for the upcoming conversation, rehearsing lines and scrolling whole monologues in their heads. By such actions, you emphasize the importance of the upcoming communication for yourself, which means that you increase your fear of it. And the more internal rehearsals you do, the stronger the fear will be, which can even escalate into panic. Therefore, before the upcoming event, it is only necessary to draw up an action plan, but not to pronounce all your speeches. On the contrary, get distracted. And when the time comes, act spontaneously and you simply won't have time for fear.
Step 3
Depreciation
People tend to attach great importance to what they fear. And vice versa - the less you attach importance to certain areas of life, the easier they are given to you. Be easier to communicate - because you can't start a conversation easily and carefree, you don't become a less competent person or a bad friend. People to whom you are important will not attach much importance to your unsociability - they will start the conversation themselves. For the depreciation method to work, you need to develop in other areas of life, become a highly qualified specialist and erudite person.
