In this episode, we will discuss how your beliefs can affect your social anxiety, and all have to do with making your world smaller. I use the analogy of walking around in a tiny box to explain how closed-mindedness impacts social anxiety. The inspiration for this episode came when I fell upon a TikTok asking, &quot;If you grew up believing dinosaurs weren&apos;t real, how was your childhood? Are you ok?&quot; And someone replied to it. Listen in to find out what her reply was and how it relates to this episode.

Why you should make friends online

A podcast that gets to the bottom of social anxiety (why it holds us back, how it does so, and what we can do about it) so that you get to the top where you believe you’re worth knowing.&nbsp;The truth is that social anxiety can permeate all areas of your life to the point where you no longer know where “you” begin and where your “social anxiety” ends.&nbsp;Here are some of the topics I'm going to cover in this podcast:- Cognitive distortions &amp; how they affect your social anxiety- Triggers and safety behaviors- The different types of social anxiety- Myths we're holding on toAs much as possible, I combine first-hand experience and my own journey with social anxiety with evidence-based studies and research.&nbsp;My hope with this podcast is that you’re empowered to show up comfortably and confidently as you, whatever that looks like, at any moment.
