The Many Faces on Facebook
I used to be chatting on the telephone with my girlfriend when she mentioned that although she's a bit embarrassed she desired to speak to me. Once i make a friend request on Facebook it's amazing how much anxiety I feel over whether they will confirm me like a friend or otherwise not. I wait by using these anxious thoughts....let's say they just ignore it...let's say they don't even want to be my pal?
What if they don't really think I'm worthy enough? And if they actually do accept to see that I have only 50-60 friends will i look like failing because they may have 200, 300, 400?" These bankruptcies are not just passing thoughts, but something which she dwells on and consumes her. She confessed that whenever she gets herself all worked up she thinks she's through an anxiety attack. Basically don't hear back from the person for the days I can not appear to overlook it. The more I think about this, I'm able to feel my heart beating faster, my hands get all sweaty, I'm so jittery and light headed that I need to take a seat. The worst part is that I'm not sure the way to calm myself down.
How come we constantly compare ourselves to others and place so much emphasis in trying to be perfect and successful. Why is being approved and accepted by others so important to us?
While everyone needs to practice our own self-love and acceptance there is no doubt that fear and self esteem issues are at the main, but these irrational thoughts would come at her so fast it was impossible for her to avoid the sentiments and sensations.
The Panic away program written by an old anxiety sufferer Barry Joe McDonaugh has really helped her. She has practiced his One Move Technique for many months now and with all the useful, practical information he has provided in his Panic away Program she could now stop these thoughts after they enter into her mind in order that she doesn`t go through the dreaded panic attacks any more!
It has given her a sense of confidence because she is in charge of her thoughts and he or she is not enthusiastic about people's approval. Your head is quite powerful and it's a battle to beat anxiety, but after she experienced this system she think it is definitely worth the effort!
