Shyness and Social Anxiety

Self Help for Social Anxiety

• Do you feel anxious or self conscious during social situations (e.g. parties; eating in public; or one to one conversations)?
• Do you find it hard to participate in the things you want to because of your shyness?
• Do you tend to avoid speaking to people when you can?
• Do you worry that people think badly of you in social settings?
• Do you worry that you have nothing interesting to contribute to conversations?
• Do you worry that you are the centre of attention and everyone can see how anxious you are?

If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes,' you may be experiencing symptoms of social anxiety and you may find this workbook helpful. This workbook aims to help you to:

• recognise whether you may be experiencing symptoms of social anxiety.
• understand what social anxiety is, what causes it and what keeps it going.
• find ways to reduce your social anxiety.
