What do you do if you have strong fear coming up when around other people? How to not make it weird?
Either I used to be completely unaware of these feelings or they have truly finally emerged from suppression. Regardless,I do recently experience quite intense reactions of fearful sort especially when interacting to other people in daily life and I am trying to not show it.
I am aware of these thoughts and feelings as they come more or less and am not fully identified with them. But I wonder what to do, how to handle this situation let's say while I talk to a coworker or manager or a customer? How to handle this moment without freaking them out and freaking myself out more? And also about more intimate connections? I don't want others to think it's their fault or something and dont want to push them away and also don't really want to exactly open up about whats going on too deeply, which actually I might not even fully understand myself. So what to do ? I really feel it might be helpful for me to limit my social interactions, until I work this out a bit more. But even then, with the remaining social interactions, what to do when this fear comes up?
Thank you for any help with this!
