Sociopathy: why is man afraid of people?

You can often hear that a person is afraid of people. Such people suffer from lack of confidence and create a vicious circle around themselves. Fear of people is one of the types of human phobias, social phobia. To get rid of it, you need experience, you need to communicate a lot, but because of the fear of doing this it is very difficult.

When a person is afraid of people, he is afraid of everyone and everything: he is afraid to communicate with new people, he is embarrassed by noisy companies, he can hardly even make a phone call. Any situation in which you have to resort to communication, makes him pretty nervous.

But all people are able to change. Therefore, if a person is afraid of people, but wants to overcome this shortcoming, he will have to make a lot of efforts and go through a difficult path. The main thing is to have an incentive.

So, first it is necessary to understand the prerequisites and causes of fear.

Why am I afraid of people?

As a rule, the fear of communication is the fear of the young. Such a phobia rarely develops after twenty years. Basically, it occurs in adolescents in school years (10 years). The reason for this is childish cruelty, when the whole class harasses one loser, and the brutality of teachers who deride the two-sided, and the harsh school system, being built on public reprimands to all peers ...

The reason that a person is afraid of people can be a detached, cold or completely indifferent attitude towards him in the childhood or trauma caused by problems in the family.

And there are cases when it is not possible to determine the cause of fear in people at all.

What is most likely to be afraid of people who suffer from social phobia?

Condemnations. Failures. Shame. People are afraid of being misunderstood or, even worse, mocked and humiliated in society. A person who suffers from such a disorder always seems to be being watched all the time and waiting for him to make a mistake and do something wrong. He is always unsure of his actions and behavior, he is afraid and feels ashamed. Well, very low self-esteem only further exacerbates the situation. All this leads to the fact that a person closes in himself and avoids communication. But without communication you will never get the necessary experience and you will not get rid of fear.

Therefore, the way out in such a situation is to face your fear face to face: get out of your "case" and gain an experience of communication.

And remember that your efforts on yourself are worth it! After all, free communication brings great joy and opens up great prospects and opportunities both in career and in personal life.
