## Are you struggling with overwhelm, stress, fear, depression or anxiety?

  • Do you worry a lot about what others think of you?
  • Do you assume it’s your fault when someone rejects you or seems uninterested?
  • Is it hard for you to approach people or join in conversations?
  • After spending time with others, do you tend to dwell on and criticize your “performance?”
  • Do you often feel bad about yourself ?

If you answered “yes” Then this Group is for You .
As humans, we’re meant to be social creatures.
Having friends makes us happier and healthier—in fact, being socially connected is key to our mental and emotional health. Yet many of us are shy and socially introverted.
We feel awkward around unfamiliar people, unsure of what to say, or worried about what others might think of us. This can cause us to avoid social situations, cut ourselves off from others, and gradually become isolated and lonely.
Loneliness is a common problem among people of all ages and backgrounds, and yet it’s something that most of us hesitate to admit. But loneliness is nothing to feel ashamed about. Sometimes, it’s a result of external circumstances: you’ve moved to a new area, for example. In such cases, there are lots of steps you can take to meet new people and turn acquaintances into friends.
But what if you’re struggling with shyness, social insecurity, or a long-standing difficulty making friends? The truth is that none of us are born with social skills. They’re things we learn over time—and the good news is that you can learn them, too.
No matter how nervous you feel in the company of others, you can learn to silence self-critical thoughts, boost your self-esteem, and become more confident in your interactions with others. You don’t have to change your personality, but by learning new skills and adopting a different outlook you can overcome shyness or social awkwardness, banish loneliness, and enjoy strong, fulfilling friendships.

####

## Tackling social insecurity and fear
When it comes to shyness and social awkwardness, the things we tell ourselves make a huge difference. Here are some common thinking patterns that can undermine your confidence and fuel social insecurity:

  • Believing that you’re boring, unlikeable, or weird.
  • Believing that other people are evaluating and judging you in social situations.
  • Believing that you’ll be rejected and criticised if you make a social mistake.
  • Believing that being rejected or socially embarrassed would be awful and devastating.
  • Believing that what others think about you defines who you are.

If you believe these things, it’s no wonder social situations seem terrifying! But the truth is never quite so black-and-white.
we invite qualified health and wellness coaches and speakers to run these workshop.
