Unfortunately. It's not effort or power of will... *** Learn more about the Screw Being Shy 45 Day Step by Step Affordable Program to Stop Shyness, Eliminate Social Anxiety, and Rewire your Mind: https://www.markmetry.com/program *** It’s not because they are dumb. It’s not because they aren’t hardworking. It’s not because they aren’t talented. It’s not because they don’t want it bad enough. It’s because social anxiety is designed to be a prison, that your mind created, from your past, to restrict you from being your real self, even when that’s what you want to do, that automatically runs without you thinking about it 24/7. And so the average person facing this issue: prepares before a social event by practicing what to say. trying to imagine being confident. trying to hide it from everyone and faking it. replaying social scenarios in your head. trying to smile and look confident. And then you go…. And then literally the same exact thing that has always happened, happens again, regardless of what you are trying to think or do differently. The reason why most people with social anxiety never escape is because it’s not common sense, it’s not intuitive, it’s not even about your thoughts or emotions. It’s your brain & nervous system that enter Flight & Fight and force you to be a fake version of yourself regardless of your mindset or what you told yourself in the mirror. Sound familiar? This was me for 10 years of my life. Everytime that happened…. I would go home depressed. Hopeless thinking that no matter what I try to do, nothing will help me no matter what. This is a quick route to a miserable and mentally unhealthy life that will continue to drag you down again and again. This is why Harvard’s Meta-Analysis study showed people with social anxiety face the highest rates of substance abuse, social isolation and suicide. Which is exactly where I found myself and after years and years and years of experimenting, trying every day, learning from neuroscientists & psychologists.. I found a solution. It’s not even going to cost you over $100, I’ve made it affordable. It’s not a cure that will work in 10 days, although it’s a 45 day program. It’s a system that shows you day by day, step by step, what to do, how to do it, why you should do it, and then lets you interact and find your own personal answers. It’s my best attempt at what I wish I had when I was in your position, unable to be myself, lacking confidence, and just felt like my mind was suffering including my mental health.
