How do I stop extreme self consciousness even when I'm on my own (nothing to do with shyness)?

Answer 1

okay,I have the same problem. what you have to do, is (even if you don't) Pretend., Pretend Pretend.You have to know that you are awesome, and that you are HOT. If you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, go with it, and laugh if you mess up, don't freak out. Also, smile. It may be fake, but people will catch on, and eventually you'll be smiling for real. There is no reason to be down on yourslef. life is a party. =)

Extreme self-consciousness is a problem for many people. The fact that you ask the question intelligently indicates you are ready to move beyond it. The following suggestion may seem unusual or counter-intuitive; however, it may work for you.

First you must begin to reframe your perspective on self and consciousness. Begin by collapsing the separation between self and 'the other.' To do this, accept intellectually the indeterminacy of our experience: reality isn't fixed; we change our perspectives; memories aren't perfect; assumptions can be false; we feel and think differently at different times and places; other people exist in our imagination as much as they exist outside it; the conscious mind is but the tip of an iceberg whose depths are unknown.

With this in mind, please consider the possibility that your "problem" isn't self-consciousness at all, perhaps it's not even a problem, perhaps it's a call to action, a call to a deeper awareness of self and consciousness.

In some sense, we can only speak and know from our self-consciousness, so in some sense, everything is self-consciousness. This a very important point made by many philosophical and religious systems (certain schools of Idealism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Phenomenology, Existentialism, etc), and is at least worthy of consideration. If we consider conscious experience as the basis of reality, we no longer need to split the world into two, into 'self and reality' or 'mind and matter.'

Perhaps self-consciousness itself isn't the problem, but the direction of your self-consciousness. Clearly, misdirected conscious energy is the source of our individual and collective problems. Self-consciousness about one's self-consciousness is a feedback loop producing anxiety; self-consciousness about one's breath, for example, or a beautiful scene in nature, may produce feelings of peace and calm.

So the question is, how to redirect your energy, your extreme self-consciousness? While suggestions are easy, maintaining practice will require dedication.

Recommendations worthy of consideration and study include meditation, prayer, devotion, charity, visualization, positive use of imagination, breathing, yoga, tai chi and other martial arts, walking, dancing, any number of athletic activities, positive mental focus, self-hypnosis, NLP, improvisational music and art, deep involvement in intellectual, social or spiritual practice.

So don't worry about being self-conscious, simply redirect the energy to more constructive areas. Sometimes having something to repeat internally is helpful--something to distract and focus the mind such as a poem or scene you have memorized or counting backwards from 100. Do not chastise yourself for imagining what others think or similar negative self-conscious thought patterns, simply move your imagination to other areas. Come up with new episodes of shows or remake movies; daydream but not about you or your future self; paint the world with your mind; test your imagination with enjoyable challenges. Soon you'll find a creative calling that will positively channel your anxious self-conscious energy!

It sounds like a neurological disorder of types... or in other words, the way the messages in your brain travel are misdirected. It has come under great debate as to whether neurological patterns can be altered. It is my personal opinion that those patterns are as habitual as any other habit and can be therefore broken and reinstated by a new habit of your personal preference.
You need to catch yourself every time you get self conscious and reinforce the fact within yourself that you have no logical reason to be self conscious. You may do this by focusing in on the fact that no one elses opinion is important or by focusing in on what you love about yourself... A good place to start is your smile... There is no such thing as an ugly smile. (teeth or no teeth)
