0:00Social anxiety is something we really can help people with.
0:03Essentially, the strategy is very simple.
0:06If you are afraid of talking with a stranger or having a deep conversation, the way to get over that is not to simulate it or to imagine.
0:13It's not like you get up and you give a pretend speech.
0:16That's what psychologists were doing for years.
0:18It doesn't work because it's still pretendings.
0:20It has to be real.
0:21You send people out in the world and to do the thing for real.
0:24You're worried about getting rejected.
0:25Go out and start asking people for help and you'll learn that your fear is misplaced, that you get accepted more often than you might guess.
0:32Exposing people to that thing that they're anxious of.
0:36When the belief is misplaced, and with social anxiety, it is usually wildly misplaced.
0:41That's what we find over and over again, is a mistaken barrier to connecting with other people.
0:46That's how you ease that social anxiety and get rid of it.
0:48Not because you dull your anxiety so much.
0:52It's because you change your beliefs about what other people are like.
0:56Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
