I have social anxiety which stems from being short. When i talk to people i feel they only see my height and won’t want to be friends with me.

While it might seem logical to find people who are closer to your height, that’s impractical given that at any point in time you may have to interact with others, either taller or shorter.

Actually as difficult as this sounds, I’m sure you have qualities not at all related to height, and should use those in expressing who you are. I also think it’s OK to politely remind others that not all of you is "short" in the sense of who you are and what you’re about.

You could also try to develop some friendships in a one on one basis letting that other understand that you have things to care about, share, and also again, try to develop some self confidence at your pace, that creates the obvious fact that you have value and worth, not connected to your height.

That might eventually ease you into a sense that just because you”re standing in a forest beneath a bunch of towering trees, you do have an "Axe".

Me talking about loneliness and how I deal with it.

Social anxiety can be a crippling state of mind and can prevent people from living fulfilling lives. For some, shyness and fear of taking to or meeting other people can mean they never ever go out.
Social anxiety isnt something you were born with, it is something you learned and we know you did not learn it deliberately. The good news is that it does not matter why you are so shy and anxious around people, the mental patterns, the imagined and real fears can be effectively dealt with using hypnosis and NLP. Because we do not waste time talking about your childhood or the and things that have happened to you (if going over the past would have helped you would already be OK), and because we focus on what IS going on in your mind, on the habits you have learned, these techniques often bring about rapid, positive and lasting cure.
So it isnt really therapy for social anxiety, it is more a combination of education, training and reconditioning, not so much moving you away from shyness, but moving you towards more balanced and appropriate feelings of confidence.
Anyone can learn to overcome shyness, however bad it has been in the past, and the techniques we use have been proven to be effective time and time again with all forms of anxiety and anxiousness, so do get in touch with us for help with these problems, as this treatment, or these treatments, tend to be very effective, very quickly, in the majority of cases.
JustBeWell is based in the UK, the USA, Australia and Canada and Ireland, and any one of our experienced practitioners will be please to talk with you about how they can help you.

I suffer from severe social anxiety if I am in a situation where I have to interact with people.I find even being around my own immediate family members threatening. I fumble over my words and clam up. People think I am strange as I am so quiet!!
I dont think I have anything they would be interested in listening to, so I hold back from talking.

hi i have also suffered from social phobias for many many years its got to the point where i do not leave the house and im even afraid to go down stairs in my house ,sometimes i cant even answer the phone and definately cant make phone calls myself. ive been taken off the register at drs and dentists because i dont go to the appointments but im too scared to call them and explain ,which is actually so sick its funny babe stay in the world thats my advice dont lock yourself away like me its hard work being scared all the time isnt it , you have an advantage you know this is happening for me it crept up on me and im now crippled with fears i cant even eat cooked food and live on rice crispies and mini chedders ,its comical when i think about how sad i am. but you know your weakness tell someone get help now while your feeling strongest. you deserve to be happy and free go to your drs tomorrow and tell them this is happening ,it will surprise you how common it is and how much you can do for your self be strong babe cx.

I think I might have social anxiety disorder, but I don’t want to go talk to a therapist and find out it’s just shyness. that would be embarrassing.

I am not an expert, but I have been diagnosed with social phobia. Are you scared to go into stores because you can’t handle interacting with the person at the register? Do you feel like it’s your job to make a restaurant’s waitstaff feel good/happy? Are you scared to call people on the phone? Are you scared to answer the phone? Do you avoid almost everyone you know? If you are "shy" around people you have known for a long time, then that is a good indication as well. If you feel worn out from taking care of people’s emotions, then that may also be a sign of social anxiety. Do you have a fear of what people will think of you? Even strangers? Are you scared to be yourself? Do you feel like you need to put a face on when interacting with people? Like you may be having the worse day of your life, but you act like the happiest, most outgoing person when talking to the person selling you a movie ticket? If you answer yes to some of these questions, then you are probably more likely to have social anxiety then be shy. Being shy means you are slow to warm to people, but once you do then you feel at ease. Good luck!

I answer JanPaulVB’s question about how to do exposure exercises without feeling bad afterwards. I discuss how social anxiety exposure can be different from exposure with other fears, comparing ourselves to others and automatic negative thoughts.
