I'm afraid of doing anything, and I tremble all over when I participate in activities. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am very introverted, timid and unconfident. In the past, I chose to avoid activities for fear of participating, and even took leave from work to leave the unit. Now that I am back in this unit, I tremble all over when participating in activities, and I am afraid of doing anything. Even if I go to a party, I am nervous.

The questioner should recognize the present situation as a positive one and express gratitude for the encounter.

After reviewing your description, I am unsure of the specific experiences that have led to your feelings of apprehension. I wish you the best and hope you find the support you need.

Please clarify whether your concerns pertain to the authority of this unit, social interactions, or individuals within this unit. It would also be helpful to understand whether your apprehensions extend to all activities or are limited to specific ones.

You have been experiencing fear since childhood, or you have encountered a situation in this workplace that has caused you to feel afraid.

The solution to fear is to confront it directly and identify the underlying cause. If the fear is rooted in a past trauma, it presents an opportunity to address and resolve the issue.

Should you experience a recurrence of the aforementioned symptoms, it is recommended that you allow them to manifest without attempting to suppress them. Take a deep breath, calm down, and reflect on the last time you experienced a similar episode or recall any previous instances that evoked a similar response. What was the underlying cause? Delve deeper to uncover the root cause. It may be a past event from your childhood that evokes this response, given that you were very young at the time and lacked the capacity to protect yourself.

As an adult, you have the capacity to safeguard your own wellbeing. You can reassure your inner child that they are safe and that you will protect them.

Typically, gatherings or events have a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing for informal conversations with colleagues. Should you still feel uneasy, you may temporarily step away from the situation and provide support to the anxious child within yourself. In the event that the experience was particularly distressing, it is advisable to seek professional psychological counseling.

I wish you the best of luck!

Hello, host.

I'm letmefly, here to help and get your feedback.

The host is an introvert and sensitive person. He is afraid and trembles when participating in activities. This is not a good quality. I want to give the host a big hug.

From what the host said, I think he may have social phobia. I don't know when it started or what caused it.

We can improve our self-awareness and correct unreasonable beliefs. For example, we can learn to relax at parties.

If the host feels it affects his work and life, he should go to the hospital. If it's social phobia, he may need medication and therapy.

I hope I can help. I look forward to your feedback.

Hello, questioner!

From your description, I can feel your awareness and reflection, as well as your bravery and strength. You have the courage to face problems, and when you can persist and face problems positively, you are on the path to change—and I know you can do it!

Oh, what an amazing question! It would be so great to know what happened that made the questioner become aware of it. And when did the questioner first have this feeling?

Oh, what happened at that time? The questioner can do some deep self-examination!

I'm really curious about what kind of strength is supporting the questioner to persevere in such an uncomfortable situation!

If the questioner were to rate these feelings on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, what score would they give themselves?

At the same time, I can also feel that the questioner came here looking for an answer to a question, and also has expectations. So, it would be great if the questioner could be aware of what his expectations are like! And if the questioner's expectations are met, then how will the questioner feel differently?

Everyone has wounds inside, but the amazing thing is that life can heal our willingness to be healed!

Guess what! The reason we feel uncomfortable in crowds and even choose to avoid them is that we care about what other people think and we don't have a strong enough inner heart.

Guess what? Most people have the same problem as the questioner. I used to feel the same way. I stuttered in crowded places, didn't know where to look, felt uncomfortable, and couldn't communicate with others. But then, gradually, I became afraid of meeting people. My change came when I was 30 years old and learned hypnosis. The joy I felt while doing the successful bridge hypnosis alone made me feel particularly comfortable and at ease in crowds.

I don't know the specifics of the questioner's situation, but I'm excited to share some suggestions that I think will be really helpful!

First of all, I wholeheartedly encourage the questioner to muster the courage to try it!

The questioner described that life may be a little timid and unconfident, which may be due to genetics or the influence of the family education environment. But don't worry! This is not our fault, and there's plenty we can do to build up our courage. We can gain a little courage and try a little, and before we know it, we'll be feeling more confident than ever!

Second, believe in yourself and the power of belief!

The greatest courage in life is actually given to ourselves. Believing in ourselves is a great strength. And the best part is, we can tap into this courage and strength at any time! All we have to do is believe in ourselves and the power of belief. Then, we'll have the strength to change.

Then, we have the amazing power of positive psychological suggestions!

It's totally normal to have emotions in life! And we can use positive psychological suggestions to eliminate those negative thoughts. For example, before doing something new, take a deep breath and tell yourself, "It's okay, it's just a small activity. I am the master of myself and I can handle it with ease."

And finally, the questioner can seek help from a professional psychological counselor or learn about psychology!

Professional counselors are there for us with empathy and understanding, using professional psychological techniques to help us explore the root causes of our problems. You can also learn about psychology in a fun way by reading psychology books! I recommend Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist, Inferiority Complex and Transcendence, and The Courage to Be Disliked.

Lily White Failure is the mother of success, and those who understand this are on the right track.

I can totally relate to feeling scared and out of place in social situations. It's hard, but maybe starting with small steps like talking to just one person at a party could help ease into things.

It sounds really tough being back in that environment after taking time away. Perhaps finding a supportive friend or colleague who understands could make it easier to face those activities gradually.

Tanner Jackson Time is a bridge that connects our yesterdays to our tomorrows.

Feeling this way is challenging, but remember, it's okay to feel nervous. Sometimes just acknowledging those feelings can be the first step toward handling them better over time.

Keanu Davis The gift of time is the gift of life itself.

I admire your courage for coming back despite the fear. Maybe practicing some relaxation techniques before events could help calm your nerves and make participating a bit less daunting.
