I bet everyone has their own kind of fear(s) - fear of height or others perhaps - myself included. I often wonder how they fight those fears of theirs and how they got them. From observing the majority of them, they come from traumatic incidents. I am still in denial of having these phobias as you may say, which include socializing with others and being confident.
Socializing. It does not come naturally to me though I have quite a handful of good friends where I am from. But being born and living practically your whole life in a country, one cannot simply be able to adapt that quickly. My being a quiet and introvert kind of a person, people sometimes misunderstand that I am a serious and unfriendly kind while the truth is I am an introvert and in lack of confidence- another achilles heel of mine. I have this tendency where cold sweats break loose (stage fright) when I am called upon. Though I have performed a few concerts way back, I still can not manage to fully control my weaknesses.
How do I control them? Not letting them go wild restlessly without direction.One thing that has been helping me is telling myself that I can do it. I know that this is a pathetic thing to do. But if you keep telling your mind that, it automatically tries to manipulate your body of doing so. Another way is to give yourself time and eventually you would overcome them. Just go out there and be free.
