The only true luxury is the luxury of human communication. Antoine de Saint-Exepury In this article I address those who are not confident enough in themselves, who are afraid of communicating with people. I invite you to master the art of interaction together. I cite here the case of my client, who asked for help due to the fact that he was afraid of people. Published with permission from Anatoly, 24 years old: “It was very difficult for me to decide to contact you, I’m very ashamed. The thing is, I'm afraid of people. Back at school, I was constantly bullied by my classmates. It was terrible, I don’t want to remember it. But an even greater nightmare awaited me at the university. Despite the fact that the atmosphere in the group was positive, I was unable to make friends with anyone. Every day of school was like hard labor for me. My life was especially poisoned by various seminars where I had to speak in front of an audience. Usually my performance followed a traditional pattern. At first, I walked crimson-red on wobbly legs to the board. Then he began to read the report in a stuttering voice. I heard giggles from my classmates, caught pitying glances from the teachers, and my hands began to shake so much that I could not read absolutely anything. After graduating from the institute, I tried to work in some companies, but conflicts arose with my superiors. The fact is that if some controversial issue arose, I could not really explain anything, as I fell into a stupor, and from the outside it probably seemed that I was a clinical idiot. I’m also having trouble with my personal life, since I have a very vague idea of ​​how to meet girls. It seems to me that everyone immediately sees how awkward and awkward I am, a shy klutz.” Unfortunately, cases like this are not uncommon. One of the most important areas of a modern person’s life is communication. Everyone has the opportunity to communicate with people. But not everyone succeeds. If you are experiencing the same problem as Anatoly, DO NOT DESPERATE. It’s just that at some stage of life (perhaps in childhood) a failure occurred, and your psyche began to perceive communication as something dangerous. It’s like the immune system of people suffering from allergies begins to react violently to some absolutely safe substance. The sooner you start correcting this problem in yourself, the higher the chances of success. Where to start? Firstly, you need to make a firm decision about the intention to overcome people's fear. Secondly, and this is perhaps the most important point, you need to establish contact with YOURSELF, make friends with YOURSELF, learn to trust YOURSELF, and enjoy spending time with YOURSELF. B- Third, start communicating today! Make a promise to yourself that at least once a day you will engage in those communications that cause you fear. I wish you good luck! In the next article I will talk about the “golden” rules for people who want to overcome fear…
