How is anxiety different from fear?

Personal Counseling - Mental Health
Fear usually involves uneasiness and apprehension directed toward some concrete, external object or situation. Also, fear is associated with events or situations that could happen. Anxiety, on the other hand, is more of a subjective state of uneasiness and apprehension in response to a vague and sometimes unrecognized danger. With anxiety, we cannot always specify what it is we are anxious about. Often, anxiety tends to be out of proportion and unrealistic.

For some people, the problem of shyness may simply be having trouble thinking of things to say in social situations. For others, it may involve crippling physical manifestations of uneasiness. For most, shyness involves a combination of both symptoms to a greater or lesser degree. In any event, the effects of shyness can be devastating.

There is much truth to this statement. The shy are unlikely to gossip or brag, be pushy or demanding, hostile or overbearing or overly aggressive. They tend to make loyal friends; they work harder at keeping a relationship going once they succeed at forming one. They often appear more deep and thoughtful, more discreet and unassuming.

What about the fear factor? Why do I fear quitting so much?

Quit Smoking
I have found this to be the number one concern among most quitters. In fact, fear stops more smokers from quitting than any other factor. When you understand why you're afraid to quit smoking you won't be afraid anymore. You'll handle the withdrawal period with authority and without feeling like you're going to be "missing something." Only if you insist.

What's to fear?

No-Scalpel Vasectomy - Dr. Kurt P. Helgerson, MD, PC
Skin bruising is common, and is harmless. About 2% of patients have more pain than they like, but with antibiotics and pain medications, this almost always resolves soon. It is more likely to occur if there's bleeding into the scrotum from a broken blood vessel due to over-activity; the less you move for two days after the procedure, the more you reduce that risk. If bleeding occurs, one half of the scrotum would feel thick.

Is shyness inborn or something that's learned?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
There is evidence that a biological tendency towards shyness may be inherited from our parents; in other words, there may be a genetic component to shyness. One of the foremost researchers into the biological basis of shyness, Harvard psychologist Jerome Kagan, came across information showing that shyness in adults could often be traced as far back as the age of three. Skeptics thought that children might have had ample time to pick up the trait of shyness from their environment by that age.

Is shyness a form of selfishness?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
quot;We're so concerned about ourselves and how other see us?" Doesn't this describe everyone? How often have you heard, "Don't worry about your shyness; everyone is too concerned with themselves to notice that you're shy." More and more evidence is showing that shyness is an inborn trait in some people. Furthermore, to a large degree, shyness stems from difficulty in "thinking of things to say" to people. This is why the nervousness kicks in.

What is the difference between shyness and introversion?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
According to one dictionary, an introvert is "a person more interested in his own mental life than in the world around him." Another defines introversion as "directing one's interests upon oneself rather than external objects or events" while an extrovert is "a person whose interest is more in his environment and in other people than in himself." To me, these definitions seem a little unfair.

What is the hardest part of shyness to overcome?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
This is a difficult question to answer, because everyone's shyness is different. The most difficult thing may be assuming the mannerisms that outgoing people possess, such as a relaxed open posture, good eye contact, an expressive, confident sounding voice, an easy smile, and so on. This may be because mannerisms are largely controlled by the nervous system, rather than the conscious mind. However, there is one technique that may help somewhat with this.

What about anxiety? Can anything be done about that?

Anxiety can usually be cleared with EFT, as well as with hypnotherapy. "Generalized anxiety" (anxiety in general, rather than about very specific things) may stem from several different incidents in the past; we may then use EFT on each specific incident, and in the process, the generalized anxiety tends to disappear. There are various reasons for weight gain --incorrect diet and lack of adequate exercise are just two.

Is shyness a form of low self-esteem?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
Contrary to popular belief, not all shy people suffer from inferiority complexes or low self-esteem. Shyness is a very specific way of responding to a particular type of situation. Of course, shy people may eventually develop feelings of inferiority in the area of human relations, but here the low self esteem is the result of shyness, not the cause of it. This is not to say that no shy people suffer from an inferiority complex.
