Do you suffer from anxiety when coping with other people?
When leaving the house?
Walking down the street? Or in groups?
Hanging out or working with different people?
When you're feeling this anxiety in social situations, when interacting with others, what is going on here?
What is this event we tend to call anxiety?
After you are in a meeting, leaning back within the stiff chair and in secret dreading the odds of being picked out by a manager or colleague, what are you really anxious of?

When you start to note that the voice looks to be particularly preoccupied with what others are thinking of you and your actions, ask yourself this simple question : Why does what other people think of me matter so much?:madness:
Have you been sub-consciously putting what others think of you on top of your own true desires while not questioning the logic and purpose of it?......
