Usually when someone feels uncomfortable or awkward in social situations is when It’s considered Social Insecurity. In many cases this cases awkwardness in all kinds of different social situations. This is also the cause of people feeling self conscious and having feelings of inadequacy.
How does this relate to your physical health? Well, if someone doesn’t feel comfortable in social situations, then it is VERY unlikely that they will want to participate in physical activities such as exercise. In most cases exercising is done in a social environment such as a health club, gym or if exercising outdoors maybe park. Because of this most people facing this challenge are A LOT less likely to exercise.
In my opinion, this is one of the main causes of the obesity epidemic in
So, what’s my point in all this? If this is you, then you need to take action and fight this problem. Your health is the most important thing that you’ve got. You must break free from these fears so that you can live the life you deserve! One way to do this is to be around people all the time. I know that it sounds crazy, but face the problem head on! This is one of the best ways of overcoming your fears! Go to the mall, visit your friends all the time, go to the park and talk to people, go to the movies or parties! You have to force yourself to interact with others no matter how terrible it may feel at the time.
Since I’ve recognized this problem within our society I’ve done a little research and talked with some psychologists about it to determine what people can do to overcome this. In many cases it can be overcome by continuing to put yourself in social situations. By repeating these things over and over in many cases it will eventually get better. For some people, it’s a much deeper challenge to overcome.
If you try these things and you find that it’s not getting better, then you should seek the help of a therapist or a psychologist. This is nothing to be ashamed of. We all face challenges in our lives and need help working through them sometimes! It’s only as big of a deal as you make it out to be. Your health is way too precious to let this little challenge hold you back from living an extraordinary healthy life that you deserve! You must take immediate action to overcome this, otherwise your total mental and physical health will continue to deteriorate!
The absolute worst thing that you can do is to ignore this challenge! You can’t afford to ignore it. We as human beings are meant to be social. Once you recognize this and start to overcome it, you will notice that you are going to feel a lot happier overall!
It’s up to you. Nobody can make this decision for you. You have to take immediate action. Get out there and talk to some people, join a gym and talk to a therapist if you have to! Do it for yourself, your family and the people that you love in your life who may depend on you for any reason. The world needs you. GO!
