Do you have any experiences like these? When the teacher asks if anyone can speak in front of the class,you lower your head.
Well, many people have these kinds of experiences. They are feeling social anxiety(社交恐惧）. People with social anxiety may easily communicate with family members and close friends. But meeting new friends or talking in public can make them very shy and nervous. A recent survey from China Youth Daily showed that about 45 percent of the 1,560 interviewees(受访者）said they experienced social anxiety.
Stefan G. Hofmann,an expert from Boston University,the US, said that social anxiety is probably “a result of the fear that we will not be welcome”. For Chinese kids,there's another reason for their anxiety. A teacher from East China Jiaotong University said,“Most of them are the only child in their families,so they don't have many chances to practice their social skills. ” But how can you be social and improve your social skills? People can follow these methods.
Firstly, work on your self - worth. Stop thinking of things that make you down. Try to think of things that make you happy. Do your best to stop comparing yourself with others. Secondly, start smiling and use a welcoming body language. Remember to give others a hug when you meet them. Stop looking at your phone all the time. Lastly,just be yourself. Take every chance to hang out with new people and those you like. Don't hide yourself in your own world.
