Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Reframe anxiety as excitement – Label nervous energy as positive anticipation before social interactions.
- Practice perspective-taking – Before events, visualize the conversation from the other person’s viewpoint to reduce self-focus.
- Use “social reappraisal” – After interactions, write down what went well (not what went wrong) to reinforce positive patterns.
Notable Quotes
“Social anxiety often comes from overestimating how much others are judging us – most people are too focused on themselves to scrutinize you.”
Bottom Line
Actively reframe nervous energy as excitement, prepare by considering others’ perspectives, and reinforce positive outcomes after social interactions to reduce anxiety.
