How to stop feeling self conscious in social situations - Focus of attention and social anxiety
A Cognitive Behavioural Self help video on how to stop feeling self conscious in social situations. When we feel anxious in social situations we tend to focus on what is happening internally for us which lead us to notice our negative thoughts and sensations more. A technique that can help with this is redirecting your attention outwards on to other people, noticing what they are saying, doing, the tone of their voice, paying very close attention on purpose in the present moment (similar to mindfulness techniques). By practicing this technique on a regular basis you will start to feel less anxious in social situations.
