What is Social Anxiety?
It manifests in various ways, but one of the most common forms of social anxiety relates to speaking in front of groups. If you need to give a speech on a stage or even a presentation in front of a small number of co-workers you might get anxious and spend time in your own head thinking about how you are going to mess things up. There is also general social anxiety. This affects nearly all aspects of a person’s life. A person who has this will worry incessantly throughout the day any time they anticipate being seen or having to interact with other people. A person can experience debilitating social anxiety at the thought of having to go to the laundry room to clean their clothes. A few people have even experienced it when driving in their car because they were worried about how they might look to other drivers who might peer over at them and think they look silly behind the steering wheel. If you feel anxious at home, at work, in the parking lot, or other odd times you may have general social anxiety.
How Do You Know If You Have Social Anxiety?
Here is a nonexhaustive list of situations where people with social anxiety suffer:
When introduced to new people
When being criticized even if the criticism is meant to be constructive
When suddenly becoming the center of attention
When being watched while doing something important
When dealing with someone in a position of authority like one’s boss
When it is their turn to talk when going around a room
When are expected to reveal how you feel in romantic or close friendly relationships
Physical Symptoms of Social Anxiety
If you are feeling social anxiety,there are visible signs that usually accompany it. These are symptoms that other people will see on your face and in your body language. People will see you turning red and blushing, swallowing with difficulty, sweating excessively with your pulse bounding and veins bulging out, see your muscles twitching around your neck and face, see you dry mouthed and dry throated, and they may also notice your hands trembling so that it is difficult for you to hold pencils, forks or even glases of water. Being noticed with these symptoms makes the anxiety worse and can cause a painful downward spiral.
Treating Social Anxiety
Often times, those with social anxiety realize their thoughts and reactions don’t make sense but they still feel powerless to do anything about it. There are very few treatment methods that are effective with eliminating social anxiety. Going to a professional therapist can work, but therapy can cost tens of thousands of dollar and take years before you see any results. One type of treatment for social anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy. It can produce a permanent result when a person is treated for at least two years. The key thing is to be both persistent and consistent. Sufferers learn dozens of strategies for attacking their negative thoughts from a therapist who charges $50 to $200 an hour. The key is to constantly work on correcting negative thoughts by labeling them as irrational and then repeating rational thoughts grounded in facts to yourself for about a half hour a day.
Sex Dolls Are Therapeutic
Customers who have purchased sex dolls see another way of dealing with social anxiety. They have noticed that having a nonjudgmental companion in life in the form of a sex doll gives them a sense of reassurance in the other aspects of their life. One of the key things about social anxiety is the sense that failure will have catastrophic consequences, but if you know that you have someone at home who will accept you for who you are no matter what it takes the edge off of risk social situations. When you buy a sex doll, she is your perfect fantasy girl. It is a relationship that no one can take away from you. Even if you say something stupid that makes people laugh at you so what? Your doll is waiting for you at home to fulfill your desires, keep you company and to sleep by your side faithfully each night. Its also the case that buying a doll is much cheaper than the long term cost of therapy. A premium doll that looks and feels like a real woman when you touch her may go for $2000, but when you consider that she will be with you for decades into the future with proper care its actually a small investment.
Its an investment that will fulfill your sexual desires and increase your happiness in life. If you have social anxiety, you may owe it to yourself to buy a high quality sex doll. You won’t be the first man to improve his life by doing so.
