Test-Taking Anxiety

Fears/Anxiety Anxiety, like worry, stems from a root that means “to choke.” And that is just what it does to us. Anxiety, unlike real fear, is always caused by uncertainty.

Social Anxiety – Usually something like this can happen from events that have taken place in a person’s life. Something in their subconscious that they can’t quite shake. It’s very serious and difficult to deal with. It doesn’t make someone less of a person going through it. Some of the most talented and intriguing people suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). First step is to realize that you’re not alone. You feel alone, but you’re really not. Suffering from anxiety can be quite scary and lonely feeling. It can effect a person’s social life, job, and change their entire life in general. It can, but does not have to ruin your life no matter if you suffer from mild or extreme social anxiety symptoms.

Practice eye contact. I think a lot of times when suffering from social anxiety disorder, it’s in a someone’s natural instincts to look to the ground.
Learn to look into someones eyes and study their body language first.
Don’t talk much and listen more. If you’re out, decide to listen more than talk. You don’t have to talk that much.
Take small steps on greeting people.
Don’t rush yourself. Do each step to the point where you feel reasonably comfortable.
Fall in love. This definitely can help you. I believe falling in love allows one to find more confidence to face challenges in their life and gives you a sense of pride.
Tell yourself everything is going to be alright. Suffering from social anxiety disorder is not a big deal.
Find an alternative way to express yourself.
Look directly in the mirror each day, and have conversations with yourself. You will feel ridiculous doing this. Which is a great test for yourself.

Worry: is the fear we manufacture – it is not authentic. We choose to worry about something, it does not come to us. Most often, we worry because it provides some secondary reward (as a matter of fact, many of our behaviors that others or we consider bad habits also provide us with secondary rewards).

Worry is a way to avoid change – because when we worry, we don’t have to do much about the matter. Worry is a way to avoid admitting powerlessness over something, since by worrying, it seems we are doing something.

Worry is a cloying way to have connection with others, the idea being that to worry about someone shows love. The other side of this is the belief that not worrying about someone means you don’t care about them. Worry is a safe protection against future disappointments. Many believe that worrying about something will stop it from happening. The relationship between real fear and worry is analogous to the relationship between pain and suffering. Pain and fear are necessary and valuable components in our lives. Suffering and worry are destructive and unnecessary components of life.

Fear There are two rules about fear. If you accept them, it can improve your use of it, reduce your fear and may transform your experience of life.

The very fact that you fear something is solid evidence that it is not happening. Fear summons powerful predictive resources that tell us what might come next – it is that which might come next that we fear – what might happen and not what is happening.

e.g.: as you stand near the edge of a high cliff, you might fear getting too close. If you stand right at the edge, you no longer fear getting close, you now fear falling. What you fear is rarely what you think you fear. There can be no fear in knowing ourselves better –our weaknesses make us stronger. With your intuition and logic better informed, you will have less unwarranted fears of things. You will harness and respect your ability to recognize the power within.

Proust said: “Only that which is absent can be imagined.” In other words, what you imagine just like what you fear is not happening.

Words of FDR- “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
I like to amend this to read as “There is nothing to fear unless and until you feel fear.”
