Social anxiety is typically the first obstacle that prevents us from expressing ourselves effectively and connecting with others. It stems from an internal belief or perception of being insufficient or unworthy. These feelings often originate from past experiences or negative conditioning.

To overcome social anxiety, it’s essential to build newer, positive conditioning to replace the old. This involves gradually exposing ourselves to social situations and learning to lower our unrealistic expectations of perfection.

Confidence grows as we face our fears and experience small successes in social interactions. By practicing positive interactions and acknowledging our progress, we can gradually reduce anxiety and become more comfortable in social settings.

In this presentation, we will discuss practical strategies and exercises for building confidence and improving your ability to connect with others meaningfully.
