Most of us do not remember much about those early baby years, when life was simpler, reasons for confidence were plentiful, and negative temperaments were not so evident. Qualities like shyness, right and wrong behavior, and lack of confidence were not problems.The baby's sense of amazement and curiosity promotes healthy feelings such as confidence. As the years of negative thoughts and experiences influence you, those healthy thoughts are covered by anxiety, shyness, and fear.

While counseling with people, I attempt to coach them to see the brilliance that I see from my perspective. My challenge is to help them to identify the misconceptions in our lives and uncover those brilliant qualities within. When this process is accomplished I feel like a very lucky duck. Though it may seem very easy to go through this process, it is tricky to understand. Uncovering your internal brilliance may be simple, however, it isn't done easily. If I were to look at the clients I counsel as broken and screwed up, I wouldn't be able to help them be anything different.
This irrational phobia causes sufferers to constantly worry about embarrassing themselves by doing or saying the wrong thing, or simply not fitting into a certain group of people. Actions such as eating or drinking in public, speaking to groups, going on dates, being the center of attention for whatever the reason, having to use public restrooms, and asking questions become almost impossible, eliciting many anxiety symptoms. Even talking on the telephone is a known trigger for those suffering from severe social anxiety, with texting and email a much more preferred method of communication. All of this affects a person's ability to lead a normal life, and can be accompanied by other psychological conditions such as depression, low self esteem and others.
