Do you stay alone at home all day?
You deserve it? Are you behaving like that?
If you look at a forum for people with social anxiety, they are usually full of depressed people who.
Stay within your home during days at a time, unless it is absolutely necessary to leave.
I've stopped showering for the last few weeks and says they're starting to look like a hermit.
I have not gone out to socialize for months . or years
Spend hours a day watching television or surfing the internet.
What if These problems were not enough, they also feel depressed and insecure and have low self-esteem.
Maybe you're not as bad as this, or maybe this describes you perfectly.
In any case, this article will reveal how you can overcome depression and low self-esteem caused by staying too much inside.
The cause of depression and low self-esteem
The first thing to know is that beliefs cause feelings. Feelings such as depression, insecurity, and inferiority are caused by your thoughts and beliefs.
I have no life. Other people always have more friends and exciting activities than me.
I am ugly or I have some physical defect that makes me unattractive.
It is important that you understand that you have not just woke up one day with these beliefs. They were formed over time through the real evidence that they gathered through their daily experience.
You do not believe anything unless you have evidence or reasonable experiences to back it up.
Your beliefs are like a table
Do you see how, with the evidence provided, the belief that "I am not valuable" is really reasonable?
If you continually treat yourself in a way that shows that you do not value yourself, then eventually you will believe: "I must not be valuable." This particular belief is an important cause of depression and low self-esteem. (In fact, self-esteem is defined as "an individual's estimate of his own value").
Therefore, one of the first steps to cure social anxiety is to change the evidence that feeds your mind about yourself. You have to start behaving in a way that builds beliefs like "I'm valuable. I am worthy. I liked myself. "
Treat yourself as you value yourself
What does it mean to behave in a way that indicates that you like yourself? What do you value?
Suppose you value your dog. Probably feed him with nutritious food, play with him in the park and take him regularly to the park, etc.
Well, you're not different. When you value yourself, you will take steps to take care of yourself. This means being decently healthy, watching what you eat at least a little, eating more fruits and vegetables, reducing junk food, exercising occasionally, going out to enjoy nature, maintaining your personal hygiene, taking frequent showers, shaving and cutting yourself Hair, brushing teeth, caring for your skin, etc.
On the other hand, if you spend all week in your basement playing video games and eating junk food, it will be difficult to feel suddenly well and have great self-esteem when you are with people.
What you do for yourself is determined by how much you value yourself. This means taking measures to actively improve yourself. Get out of your comfort zone regularly, be productive, learn new things, take classes, travel and enrich your life.
Honestly, I do not know anyone who has a high self-esteem that does not do most of these things.
Every time you do something that shows you mind, you value yourself, you are giving it new evidence. This new evidence becomes a leg that reinforces the belief that "I am valuable" in your mind.
If you spend the day productively: eat a healthy breakfast, go to the gym, learn something, achieve something and, suddenly, your brain is bombarded with the evidence that something is worth. Then you go out to people and you feel less insecure.
Feel a new level of confidence that you did not have before, a feeling of calm and constant self-esteem. You feel more entitled to express yourself and you stop having other people in such high esteem compared to you. And people can say that you feel good about yourself as a person. It will appear in your voice, eye contact and body language.
When you live in alignment, with the way you treat yourself by feeding on beliefs that make you feel good about yourself, the world can say and respond accordingly.
Ultimately, the way you feel about yourself is determined by the beliefs you have about yourself and your value/value. These beliefs are formed through the evidence you spend all day acquiring by observing your actions.
If you believe that you can change your beliefs and your deepest insecurities without changing your actions first, then a life of sadness and depression awaits you.
First, you must act in a way that develops the beliefs you want to have about yourself. When you act as if you value yourself, you can not help but start
