Fear of Strangers

[EricJones]

Hi my name is Eric. I get super uncomfortable when i go outside and I'm around people. Particularly strangers. I tense up, my head stiffens. body moves slower than usual. I'm timid. I'm just terrified of strangers. Can someone give me help on breaking down my fear of strangers please?

Hello

I am sorry no one has replied and surprised you did not get any replies as this is quite a common thing and another word that can be used as to how you are is that you could possibly be suffering what they call Social Anxiety

It is not very nice I know when you feel this way but something that you can improve even though you will have to take the little steps to do so

First remember strangers cannot harm you and they may feel similar to you but just do not show it

Start of by just smiling at people as they walk past when that feels ok maybe smile and say Hello with practice it will start to feel more comfortable and you will gain more confidence where you can even have a conversation with strangers eventually even if not for long

You may always be someone that finds been around strangers does not feel comfortable and that is ok but it can improve where it does not cause you such severe anxiety but will take time and you are not alone feeling this way x
