Social anxiety question?

If one makes a choice so as to to feel happy regardless, and to accept them selves for who they are and unconditionally love themselves no matter what, would it cure/ ease their social anxiety? I mean, social anxiety roots from self doubts and what if we block this thinking pattern and starting feel good, though it takes effort and total reverse of thinking pattern in the beginning.?

Hi Yarra





Social anxiety primarily results from looking for validations from sources outside yourself. It would therefore depend on HOW you achieve a state of unconditional self acceptance AND, as someone said already, how completely you believe in what you are doing.





If you are asking this question in relation to yourself I'd suggest that you might find it useful to read one or both of these books, both of which will provide a detailed explanation of what is involved, with lots of useful tips on how to improve your self confidence and self appreciation:





"The Myth of Self-esteem: How Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy Can Change Your Life Forever"





"Rational Emotive Behavior: It Works for Me, It Can Work for You"





Both books are by the inventor of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Albert Ellis.
