Members,
Take a few minutes to think about how increased shyness or social
anxiety disorder may be affecting your relationships. If you need help
getting a clearer picture, follow the steps below:
• Take out a sheet a paper and write down who is in your life right
now in one column. In the other column, write down all the people who
are no longer in your life since your depression, anxiety or shyness
worsened.
• On another sheet, take the individuals in both columns and express
how you believe your depression, anxiety or shyness affected those
relationships.
• On another sheet, write down how depression, anxiety or shyness has affected your life in general.
• On the last sheet, write down which relationships you’d like to
focus on in which you’d like to reduce your sensitivity or shyness.
Tune in next time when we will talk about the next step…
