HOW TO OVERCOME YOUR ANXIETY AND BLEND WITH PEOPLE

Source

Blending with people is not easy as it sounds for some of us. The ability
to enter a new space, meet new people and get well sync with them is
not one that most people have. We are held back by many reasons ranging
from language barriers to being introverts, close-minded or
uncomfortable around people we have no history with. There are ways to
get around a few of the things which hold us back from easily connecting
with people and becoming more sociable.

Herein are few steps you can take as you look to overcome the inability
to blend easily.

1.Avoid food that triggers anxiety
If you are the type who becomes anxious when taken away from your
comfort zone, then you should avoid foods and beverages cause anxiety
Have a balanced diet that cuts out alcohol, coffee and other caffeinated
edibles. There is a myriad of edibles you can take instead of
anxiety-triggering foods.

2.Make use of nature
Nature has a cure to most of our problems. This is not just in the form of
herbs for drugs or cosmetics. There are places that create an atmosphere
of peace. They are usually serene areas where your anxiety is tamped
down. You can have initial meets in such places.

You can have picnics, games and even meni-party so you get to meet new
people in an environment you feel free and comfortable in. Surroundings
can heavily influence your behaviour, so make use of it.

3.Don't draw people's attention
I know this sound like the opposite of what i'm trying to help you with,
but you really should not draw attention to yourself. This is not meant to
discourage you from trying to stand out, but it is to curb anxiety. Until you
are ready to face or handle such situation. Do not draw it to yourself.

When trying or imbibing a new thing, it is always advisable to do it in
small doses. Exercising for the first time, eating or drinking after a fast
and guiding yourself to be more confident are examples of things that
should be done at a gradual and slow rate. This also works for blending
in when you are outside your comfort zone.

Demand for attention that you can handle and as time goes by, you would
find that you are able to handle attention with ease.

How are you handling your anxiety to blend with people?

Thanks for your time.
See you another time
