Common Questions and Answers about How to overcome fear of others

fear

Avatar f tn To overcome anxiety, one must understand the logic of why the brain is feeling threatened, it sends messages to the body saying its under threat. New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts. However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying.
Avatar f tn Talk this over with your parents so they can get you therapy to learn how to break free of this fear. Good luck and take care!

Avatar f tn it may just be due to the fact of my relationship issues and how it has destroyed some of my relationships. in past ones, my partner would eventually just get bored and constantly maturbate and for almost a year we did not have sex at all. he would just do it. so it could just be from my past experiences. it may also have to do with the fact that my partner has had MANY, and when i mean many i mean 40+ at 23 years old. having some emotional issues personally could also just effect it.
Avatar f tn That is how OCD works. That is why a psychologist who teaches cognitive behavioral therapy would be in your best interest. You really don't know how to counter these thoughts. You need to learn how to stop them when they start and not let them go on and on leading you to the catastrophizing thought. It is pretty amazing how our mind can latch on to something and trick us. That is what it is really...a trick of the mind that puts us at war with ourselves.
Avatar m tn scarlett11 Try a sleep app that has dozens of recordings of therapists telling you how to go to sleep. You get to select which one you want to listen to, and I often listen to the same recording for months. Sometimes I fall asleep in the first few minutes but for that to work, I have to pay attention to what the speaker says.

Avatar n tn Look, I can't pretend to have the same problems, I'm a guy. But I'm going to offer a comment because there really aren't a lot of people who participate on here and so I'm not sure you're going to find that many who will respond with similar experiences. But in a way, everyone with mental problems has similar issues -- we may differ on the specific things that terrify us but we're all terrified.

Avatar f tn Parasites are gross. Most of us want nothing to do with them. But if you have recurring thoughts of fly parasites or any others, that's the problem. A fleeting thought? Fine. But if you think about it over and over and you keep checking and needing reassurance, that's the issue. What are you supposed to do to overcome it? Nothing. If you get a parasite, you get a parasite. It won't kill you.
Avatar n tn I have developed a fear of heights that has interfered with my ability to enjoy my favorite winter sport...snow skiing. The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic. The fear only exhibits itself primarily on the ground and outside.. I do not have a fear of flying in a jet airplane or inside tall buildings. It has become a real problem for me to enjoy skiing.
Avatar f tn t help you overcome your fear. The only way to truly overcome your fear is to stop trying to rationalize why you cannot get pregnant, you have to ignore the thoughts when they come and not react to them. What makes these obsessions seem so real is the fact that we as suffers get so upset when we think about them, which makes our brains want to think about them even more.
