      What he talks about here are surface level communication skills. It's basically avoiding really looking at the anxiety. To really get to the depth of social anxiety to resolve it or live with emotional work or shadow work has been my biggest help. I can recommend the channel "sherpa within" for deep inquiry into the depths of fear, shame or whatever else.

  • @nickp3949

    A lot of it is HOW you say it though. If you’re clearly nervous and not saying anything and then you randomly say “so…what do you do for fun?” And your voice is shaky or it comes off like you’re afraid to speak, it’s gonna make them feel really uncomfortable and now you’re just making your situation worse.
    See, in my case, I have the self awareness to know that when I attempt to speak when I’m nervous, it just makes my situation worse because my voice projects fear, anxiousness and low value. This is why I’m mostly quiet in groups, I know that if I speak up I’m gonna isolate myself even more. One on one I’m completely fine, it’s just groups I can’t do, because if you mess up, now everybody knows, and everybody knows that everybody knows that you have low value. So you’ve just tossed yourself down to the bottom of the totem pole.

    These tips might be good for someone who may just be socially awkward, but for a person like my daighter who has severe anxiety....she wont even go anywhere to be around people, except work, because she has to go to make a living, but she is miserable all day, eats in her car alone to avoid having to be around people... she wont even stop and run into a bathroom if we are out and about, because she is afraid someone will see her and she may have to talk to them or answer a question she may not be able to answer.... she has a severy anxiety aroung the fear of the unknown... annything out of her normal daily routine.... how to you overcome that with just learning how to ask the right questions or say the right things in a social setting..... which sje could never get herself to even go to such an event????

  • @ThisIsAnInactiveChannel
    @ThisIsAnInactiveChannel Před 11 měsíci

    In my case, the problem is that pretty much everything I have to say is about me, and when talking to others, I honestly don't think they wanna listen to stuff about me, so the best tip I have to fix this is to listen to what they say and have to say way more, and probably the best way to do this is to think of questions to ask to them and just ask them since it will keep a conversation going. The other problem is that, even though I'm aware of this, I always forget it when talking to others 🙃

    Dr Ali. I'm not sure if this common, but have you had clients who have trouble balancing the converstation equilibrium? These suggestions are good, but it always makes the other person go on and on only about themselves. It never becomes a two way street.
    In a relationship, it gets exhausting when the other party tunes out from what you have to say and get interested only when it's about them. Do you have an idea on how to balance the conversational equation? Thank you.

  • @shingaki.channel
    @shingaki.channel Před 10 měsíci

    But this would be like memorizing question from school and then repeat them when I meet someone... I just right now forgot the questions... that would make me even more anxious and feel bad and would zoom out while the other person is talking because I would be thinking "what was it that I have to ask?" and what about when they reply? I mean it is going to be a longer answer from the other person but then what?...

    • @shingaki.channel
      @shingaki.channel Před 10 měsíci

      I am feeling better being honest... if I do not know what to say and the silence appears I would say: "sorryy, but I do not know that to say or what to talk about... and would laugh... and smile saying "it just sometimes happens"... and then if the other person wants to will say something and if that answer makes me feel better probably a reply will nicely come out from my mind... otherwiser I will think, ok at least I tried... because sometimes it is simply that the other person is not compatible so what for waste much more time really... we do not have to please everyone and also do not to have to like everyone either

    • @drali
      @drali  Před rokem +2

      The first thing you should do is speak to an eye doctor (if you haven't already). Explain the situation and make sure there isn't a medical complication here. Two friends of mine had exposure to chernobyl radiation and as a result experience eye pain and migraines that needs to be managed. Once you know if anything is happened there, THEN you can try some of the exposure strategies I discuss here: czcams.com/video/K24CS0mA5Fs/video.html. Be sure to use some of the coping strategies I talk about here to reduce the impact of the symptoms you experience: czcams.com/video/xGb4fvfZpWM/video.html. Good luck!
