Hi, thanks for reaching out. From everything that you’ve mentioned, it looks like you face stage fright which leads to anxiety. This is a normal state to go through and this can happen due to multiple reasons: Unrealistic assessment of what is expected of you Underestimation of your capabilities Overestimation of the opinion of others Unrealistic expectations of others' responses to anxiety Overestimation of the idea of ​​rejection Now there are many ways to prevent it: Always keep in mind the present, not the past or the future Try not to obsess about being perfect Look at the end of the stage or who is smiling and forget the criticism of the public Try not to dramatise mistakes Try imagine what it would be like if nobody was watching You can also try to do some breathing exercises before the particular event starts. We would highly recommend you to approach a professional counsellor/mental health practitioner who would be able to guide you through in a safe and non-judgemental manner. It is perfectly okay to seek out professional help from mental health practitioners from organisations or independent set ups. Credits: Kaushik Kataria, intern at Heart It Out

Hi, it looks like you get anxious in social situations and this has been happening since childhood. You feel nervous when you are on group calls or when you have to speak in front of a crowd.

You just need to avoid feeling too anxious in front of a crowd, a good solution for this is counseling. You are a brave and ambitious person you just need to focus on not being too anxious. With counseling sessions you will be fine.

Dear human, thank you for sharing and reaching out. I appreciate you for seeking help because you've taken a significant step in your mental health journey. From what you've mentioned, it sounds like you are experiencing anxiety and specifically social anxiety, because social gatherings makes you nervous and it has gone to an extent where you avoid such events. The cardinal factor of anxiety is avoiding the factor/person/situation that triggers it. However, diagnosing here with such limited information can be misguiding. I recommend you to seek therapy from a mental health professional to vent out your pent up anxious energy in a safe space, process them, identify the irrational thought process related to anxiety and modify them. Meanwhile, you can try doing the following: 1. Journaling - Write down your thoughts whenever you feel anxious, it helps to vent out your anxious thoughts and energy and also reflect on what can be the possible reasons for your concern. It also allows you to view the issue from a third person perspective and objectify it. 2. Talk to someone - Talk to a friend/loved one about your concerns. Sharing your experiences is also a form of venting out and you might relaxed and validated. 3. Mindfulness and breathing - Focusing on the present moment helps to refrain yourself from the irrational anxious thoughts. Mindfulness can be practiced through small techniques and doing it regularly helps to manifest mindfulness in your daily life. 5-4-3-2-1 technique - name five things that you can see around you, four things that you can hear, three things that you can touch/feel, two things that you can smell and one thing that you can taste. 4-7-8 breathing exercise - Inhale for 4 secs, hold your breath for 7 secs and exhale slowly for 8 secs. Hope this helps :) Take care!
