Please tell me how to deal with social anxiety on a first date. I turn into a complete freak. Everyone says "be yourself" ...haha, yeah right. It's hard to be yourself when you judge everything that comes out of your own mouth AND you want to flee at the same time. When I'm relaxed, I am a totally chill and funny girl. When I'm nervous I am quiet and uncomfortable. Please -- any suggestions? Thanks....

I live what you're talking about every day! I have serious social anxiety. You should make sure you don't consume any caffiene at all that day. Caffiene amps up the anxiety! Try not to worry too much about sounding like a dork, just smile and try really hard to relax. If this is chronic, even when you're not on a hot date, perhaps you should speak to your doctor about antianxiety medications. My husband takes Ativan from time to time and it really helps with the high anxiety.

Keep in mind, he is probably just as nervous!!!
I think everyone has this problem. Think about what you say before you say it and act like he is a good friend.
I know it sounds lame, but I always pretend like i'm a self confident take charge funny girl with lots of wit. As long as I keep in it my head i'm hot, smart and all these good things, I give off positive vibes.

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships. Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources. Read here https://tr.im/FMnsm
There is a ton of stuff ( to help you get started. Sometimes the techniques go against “conventional wisdom” or what seems to work in movies and romance novels. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try them – they DO work and they are a huge advantage over the competition.

Hi there, I just laugh about my past 3 years of panic now. I was not able to go anywhere without carrying xanax. Fear of having another attack was the most important subject of my days.When i first found joe barry's web site i started to cry because of my happiness.

You have to exude confidence! Walk tall, know what you are going to say, and don't be intimidated byothers. You are a good girl! I like you already. Being shy means you are trying too hard to impress others. Relax!

I would say if there is something special between you and another person it doesn't matter if there shy or not...people complement each other...don't think that just because your alike or opposites things will work better...its about being your self...go out have a good time don't stress it and let things happen...if you don't think about it, things happen to flow better...and try not to show your shy...women hate that.

Just think "calm, cool, and collected..." over and over again. Get yourself to relax and try to have fun!
