Reports from various domestic media outlets on March 27th reveal that Xiao Ai, a senior college student, used to enjoy wearing headphones and listening to music, preferring not to engage in conversations with others. In order to overcome his introverted nature, he decided to take on a part-time job as a truck driver.
During the delivery process, Xiao Ai had to communicate with the cargo owners over the phone, which gradually made him more outgoing and confident. Through hard work, he managed to save up enough money to buy a private car.
Experts point out that social anxiety is not just about fearing social interactions themselves, but rather an anxiety about wanting to socialize but feeling unable to initiate contact. To change this anxiety, developing good daily habits is crucial.
For instance, actively participating in community or group activities can be beneficial, as well as bravely seeking help from a psychotherapist. These measures often bring long-term improvement in a short period of time.
Furthermore, moderate exercise is also an effective way to alleviate symptoms of social anxiety. Exercise can shift your focus, help you break free from negative emotions, and make you feel physically and mentally more relaxed by regulating the secretion of brain neurotransmitters.
