Episode 3153:

Explore practical coping strategies for social anxiety with Greg Audino as he addresses a listener's quest for better tools to manage anxiety in social settings. Delving into the nuances of individual coping mechanisms and the integration of thought processes, this episode offers tailored advice to transform your approach to social anxiety and foster meaningful connections, even in challenging environments.

Quotes to ponder:

"Social anxiety is something that I’ve always had, and I’m looking for better coping strategies when I’m feeling it."

"I don’t want to practice going to a bar and talking to people, I want ideas for how to manage the anxiety when I’m already at the bar and feeling it instead of being paralyzed with thoughts."

"What if, when you’re at that bar and you’re feeling uncomfortable, you direct your thoughts towards questions like: What’s the worst thing that would happen if I talked to that person over there?"
