How can I get over my fear of embarrassment?

It is far to complicated to explain but it involves my (then) girlfriend...and me confusing her with her sister when I was drunk...then about three months later confusing them again. I said some things....to each of them...thinking that they were the other one.

A trusted friend can help if they are empathetic to your fear. A therapist can also help by locating the root of the fear in your life and helping you reverse the effects of the fear. In addition, taking a dance class is a great way to get over your fear, ask for private lessons at first, once you are comfortable, perform in front of family then go to larger crowds.

The very best way I know of to get over any fear or phobia is to undergo hypnotherapy. You can undergo Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to deal consciously with your fear. CBT causes a lot of mental anxiety and anguish.

Hypnotherapy causes much less mental stress because your hypnotherapist or hypnotist will implant post hypnotic suggestions in your subconscious mind. This process will give you the same end result as CBT but is a much easier course of therapy to undergo. Hypnosis is safe when performed by a safe hypnotist or hypnotherapist.

You do need to make sure you find an experienced hypnotist or hypnotherapist. I highly recommend that you talk extensively with the person you want to be hypnotized by before embarking in therapy with that person. If you need cost effective hypnosis, you can find excellent safe and free hypnotherapy videos on YouTube.

With fear of heights, as with any phobia, the brain is overprotecting us from a place that is a safe situation. It’s the alarm that keeps going off about the fear that makes us scared and gives us an uncomfortable and uneasy feeling when we’re in a high place.To get over your fear of heights, practice desensitizing yourself in high places, gradually increasing the degree of difficulty. You may start by picturing yourself up high or looking at pictures online, and then progress to standing on a stool or ladder, working your way up to an elevator or low balcony.

Tell your mind that you are safe and work away at your fear a little at a time. Glass elevators can be a helpful middle step, and you can work your way up two or three floors at a time. A lot of the fear is that visual experience of looking down.

Just know that the feeling of discomfort you have is from what you see -- not that you are actually in danger -- and the feeling will eventually pass.

Sorry but I gotta disagree with the 19-yr-old who already posted here. You should never put off having a love life or a sex life when you are young and in your prime. You'll spend the rest of your life regretting it.

This notion that school and GPA are more important than social life and romance and sex at your age is pure nonsense and escapism from facing social and psychological challenges. You need to be a balanced person and have a balanced life, and that includes a combination of intellectual, emotional, social, and physical activity. Everyone needs that, especially at age 18. Make it your priority to work on the areas where you are weakest and in most need of improvement.

It sounds like the love life is a good place to focus. Good that you're reaching out. Keep reaching out.

Ask advice from everyone (but not those who are clueless or superficial). Read up on it. Make it your goal to get better at this.

Make friends with at least one really attractive and socially active girl: Tell yourself that she will only be your friend and you will never look for more from her than just friendship. Get to know her well as a close friend to where you can talk to eachother about people of the opposite sex and compare notes. You'll learn a lot from her, and she'll probably try to hook you up with her friends (make sure she's not just attractive, but someone you also want to be friends with) Also, don't put too much pressure on yourself when getting to know girls.

In other words, don't expect that you have to DO anything. It takes two to tango, so all you can really do is just be there and be yourself and let happen what happens. And you have to decide that you will NEVER try to control the outcome of an interaction with a girl or woman.

You will ALWAYS go with the flow and just accept whatever happesn. Huge rule of thumb: Never, ever try to force things. You don't have to have any game.

None at all, in fact. Guys who are players and have "game" end up making asses of themselves or pissing women off just as often as they score. The main reason they have any luck is that they just keep doing it til they're really used to it, but "it" is really a bunch of fakeness.

You don't have to do all that. You don't have to DO anything. You don't have to keep the girl entertained.

It's okay to be shy, it's okay to be at a loss for words. Some women love it, cause it's genuine. Whatever you do, don't be fake.

There's so much more I could say, but then i'd be writing a book. Maybe I should. But you gotta make this your goal.

Don't put it off for the future. You're 18, and this is the prime time. Pefect timing.

Time can wait, not too late, but thats not the case. "Be a man" as my father would tell me. It's not a skill to be in a relationship.It is knowing what it is to be a man.

I'm single, I'm 19, Im not complaining. In fact I don't have time for a girlfriend (nor money). I got college to do.

I have a 3.7 GPA and need to keep it up for a University discount. Focus on the important things. Love is an emotion, but emotions separate reality and can blind people.

To war, mistakes, misery. Study psychology.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
