Social Anxiety I can't make eye contact and look down

Hi, my name is Seb. I’m a former #SocialAnxietyDisorder sufferer, the host of a popular podcast show (Social Anxiety Solutions) and a social confidence coach.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of #sociallyanxious clients feel #calm, #comfortable and at ease socially.

I’m in (symptomless) self-quarantine due to the #CoronaVirus. And I got inspired by people like the quarantined Italians singing from their balcony. And well, I’ve got a lot of time on my hands now…

Anyway, I decided I could help by creating a free 30 day Social Confidence Challenge for all of you who suffer from #socialanxiety.

Because what a perfect opportunity this is to reduce your social anxiety!

Now the mainstream belief is that the only way to do this is to #ChangeYourThoughts, and force yourself to #FaceYourFears

Since this didn’t work for me (I’ll share more in the challenge) I had to find #AlternativeWays. And eventually, I created a different approach.

My approach builds on the foundation of #traditional #WesternPsychology, but adds a very important component:

Addressing the #EMOTIONAL SIDE of your social anxiety issue.

While I will help you change your mindset, and while facing your fears is included, I go about it in a much #LessStressful, and far more #EffectiveWay.

How?

You face your fears internally. And then you #release them.

For this, we use a #powerful, #scientificallyproven to be #effective #EmotionalReleaseTechnique. Details about the #technique and how to use it to #OvercomeSocialAnxiety are beyond the scope of this brief message.

With this approach, you will chip away at your #SocialAnxietyIssues. And you do this mostly from the comfort of your own home.

So that once the virus is #undercontrol and we’re able to go out again, you can do so with less social anxiety, and more #confidence and ease.

Sound good?

On that page, you’ll see a short video of me explaining what to expect, some video testimonials from former clients who overcame their SA using this approach, and of course… you get to join!

Hope to see you there.
Seb

It's just mad awkward when I'm having a conversation and I stare someone in the eyes. I feel like they can see right through me and see all of my insecurities. It's a revolting feeling.

[UniMatrix_]

I don't look people in the eye because I feel like they are judging me and I feel embarrassed

[aslan.m]

It's so bad that I can't even look into my mums eyes while we are having a conversation, then she asks me are you even listening because I'm not looking at her.

[yuliyabab]

I was getting ready to quit my job tomorrow. The mental agony of social anxiety is absolutely crippling. Then I watched this video, and something strange happened. I kept having strange flashbacks of my childhood, and I felt very liberated by it. I started recognizing patterns of emotion, and the layers of complex emotional baggage became all too real and overwhelming. In short: People down hate me, I just need a shitload of therapy.

[nfc]

I feel embarrassed just watching you speak in front of all those people.
._.

[wendyoliver]

People always bring it to my attention that I don't make eye contact when I talk to them. I'm really self conscious about it but I don't know what to do. I really try, but when I listen to people, I focus too much on eye contact and don't retain what they're saying.

[zvybypg]

I don't have social anxiety, actually I have a lot of friends but I can't look them in the eyes. I feel awkward I can't really describe that feeling, I always look away or down when I talk with others.

[briz]

The fact you're doing this in public just shows you can back up your anxiety solutions

[rossrobson]

I hate my life I just don't know why I can't make eye contact with anyone anymore, I didn't use to have much of a problem with it but over the last few years it for some reason has got really difficult for me and such a big effort, around the dinner table my family would be chatting away making eye contact and there's me sitting there all quiet looking down, can't even get a job, friends, or a girlfriend because eye contact is one of my biggest fears I don't even know why all a sudden this has happened to me

[rachaelnabors]

It makes me nervous that you're filming in a restaurant lmao...

[electrobussterr]

I have no trouble making eye contact with people, but only for a very short amount of time (while walking down the street). No issues making eye contact while talking. Sometimes girls try to make prolonged eye contact but I always look away in no time.. I feel judged, embarrassed and like I'm some kind of alien who is not important. Even though I look perfectly normal from the outside.. People think I'm successful with women but it's the other way around. Really hope I can fix this soon as I keep getting older and it becomes more of a problem by each passing year. Due to social anxiety, I feel like a manchild who is not ready for the outside world even though I'm 25.

[BerserkerGuts_]

I have an issue where I indirectly stare at people or become anxious when I see someone in my peripheral vision and it gives off an energy that the person I’m indirectly seeing in my peripherals can sense and becomes uncomfortable and start to judge. Also, people that are looking at me can notice my indirect stare and look in the direction to see what it is. Like they can sense my indirect stare and look that direction to see what’s going on and the judging begins.

[marvelousmartin]

I never make eye contact with anybody I don't need my eyes to see you I can instead hear you

[shiroo]

I cant look someone in the eye:(
And when I do look them in the eye, I tear up:(
I wish that would stop

[dontknow]

I think I feel shameful or not important enough I guess? But I don't have any memories linked to it. How do I just get rid of this all it makes me soo awkward and I feel like I make others uncomfortable also..what do I dooo!?

[ToroDelSushi]

Eye contact to me feels threatening. The main reason people do eye contact is to come off as more confident, but as an introvert, you starting into my eyes is terrifying and it feels like your about to do something to me. This only intensifies when a person has an assertive tone in their voice, like theyre trying to rule over you. I'd be happy with not making eye contact and having a deep conversation. In my opinion, the only time you need to look at Someone is if your observing. You don't have to look into someones eyes to understand them. Watching Body language works just as well.

[lovetolearn]

Really amazing at staring into someone's eyes when THEY are talking....but when it s my turn.... I find myself looking away....:/ sigh...yes agree with it being about how I feel about myself.... thanks for the info:)

[crisyorke]

I don't have eye contact because I distrust people, not because of shame, guilt, confidence, etc.

[SUNILKUMAR-ctrb]

It so embarrassing even though I know person I'm talking with is interested to talk but I cannot make eye contact. Many times I try but I couldn't hold my eyes more than 5 seconds.
