Do you have Social Anxiety?

Do you get really nervous for job interviews?


My video will be available to watch from 9am on Sunday 7th August! I post a new video every 2 weeks so make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my channel to get notifications when I post up new videos!


In this video, I share how Social Anxiety makes me feel and how I manage this in a job interview situation. Anxiety is different for everyone, but this is how I deal with mine during social situations. If you have any other coping mechanisms for your Social Anxiety? Why not let me know in the comments...


[] SOCIAL ANXIETY FOR ME: -

  • Cold Sweats

  • Shaking

  • Fidgeting

  • Hyperventilating

  • Feel Sick

  • Feeling of Dread and Fear

  • I Want to Run Away


[] WHEN SOCIAL ANXIETY HAPPENS FOR ME: -

  • Going to meet new people

  • Visiting somewhere new or unfamiliar

  • Walking in to the pub/club on my own to meet friends

  • Job Interviews

  • Going to the shop

  • When the phone rings

  • When the door knocks


[] HOW I MANAGE MY NERVES: -

  • Slow deep breathes

  • Admire my surroundings and try to get more comfortable

  • Suss out where a water fountain is or where I can get a drink

  • Suss our where the toilets are

  • Read signs, leaflets or magazines if available

  • Give myself pep talks (out loud or in my head) to help rationalise the situation


[] REMEMBER - Be patient with yourself... You wouldn't expect someone else to get it right first time. My coping mechanisms have been a labour of love and pain and I have worked them out over time and figured out what works best for me. DEEP BREATHES are pivotal for me to cope with my anxiety in any situation so I strongly suggest to start there.



[] RATIONALISE! - Try to set your nerves to the environment you are in. If there is no threats, then realise that and try to relax by taking a few deep breathes and find a sign to read or art to admire, or just have a sip of water.



[] HELPFUL LINKS: -



[] POP BY TO KEEP UP TO DATE: -


[] DISCLAIMER - I am not a medical professional and I don't have all of the answers, I am speaking from experiences in my own life that I have overcome and how I managed to do that. If you ever feel concerned for your physical or mental health, please speak to your GP.


Thank you guys so much for your support with my mad little venture! I hope you enjoy the journey!
