People with social anxiety tend to engage in restrictive "safety behaviors" that make them less likable, study finds

New research finds that individuals diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD) are more likely to use safety behaviors when engaging with others socially. As a result, they are not seen as likable or genuine by those they interact with. This research reveals that safety behaviors may be key to...

These safety behaviors include things such as rehearsing what to say and inhibiting/restricting behaviors (including speaking very little or avoiding eye contact to escape notice).

Audemar wrist, count it then spend it
Matted the coupe, and my windows tinted
Chop off the top, headed to Lennox

New paper tag, didn't wanna rent it
Too many fags, too many bitches
Roll with my slime, yeah that my lizard
Ready to slide, you will get slithered
Hey, we ain't got ties, you ain't gon' ride
You ain't my slime, you ain't my slime
Young Gunna Gunna, I'm in my prime

Yeah, I'ma kingface Patek my time

how?

Most important thing is the mindset if you don't want to become outgoing then you never will.

You need to truly desire yourself to be as outgoing as possible. You need to visualise yourself as an outgoing verbal mogger.

Then force yourself to get out. Talk to me. Spend time with other peoples.

It will take time. Slowly but surely you will become outgoing tho.

Social anxiety is interesting. It's normal that you have a certain inhibition with regards to social interaction. For example when you go to a family dinner you wouldn't want to be completely low inhib and say things that will destroy your relationships with these people. Or in a job interview, almost everyone feels nervousness, because they're being harshly evaluated and the outcome means a lot to them. Having a higher inhibition in that situation can be very useful because you don't want to say something stupid or something that will prevent you from getting the job.

Social anxiety is if your inhibition is irrationally high, to the point where it's restricting you unnecessarily.

But having high inhibition can make a lot of sense in some cases. For example if you're fuck ugly or have an annoying voice, then you will be less likely to initiate conversations with strangers. You could call that social anxiety, but it's just a normal process in your brain that wants to protect you from embarrassing yourself. The brain seems to process these situations on the basis of past experiences, mostly subconsciously. You don't naturally approach social interactions with a very rational view, you just do things if they worked in the past. And if for example in the past you got rejected brutally, then you will have a higher inhibition to approach women the next time. That's not really social anxiety, your brain just learns from past experiences.

If you now just use drugs and alcohol to numb your inhibition, you will only walk into more embarrassing situations, it's not really going to make you more sociable. It could add even more bad experiences and you will be even less likely to socialize in the future.

But if you are decent looking, with no obvious failos and you determined that you have indeed a very irrational fear of certain social interactions, then it is social anxiety. And you can tackle it with exposure therapy and drugs (temporarily). You will most likely have way nicer experiences than what you were expecting. And because the brain operates based on these past memories, socializing will be easier in the future and your inhibition will naturally be lower (because of these good memories that you created with exposure therapy).

This study is a big piece of crap like 99% of social studies out there that can't be replicated even if you try a million times.
Different ages, unmatched genders... When you are fucking ugly and retarded, you will have SAD and watch what you say.

They are usually just ugly, if they would act uninhibited they would simply be seen as annoying and obnoxious

Why would it be?

They also accounted for it on the study
