JAKARTA - Some of you may have felt awkward when meeting and talking to strangers or unknowns. This is not a big problem, but be aware that this is developing to keep you from taking a vacation with your colleagues, for example.

Psychological professor from University of Nebraska-Lincoln,tangle Hope, PhD, as reported by the Health page, quoted Wednesday, December 14, said this condition can be called social anxiety. Not only does it make you sacrifice your personal relationship, this kind of anxiety can hinder your career or even make you depressed or abused alcohol.

He suggests that those of you who experience social anxiety need to fight it. Although it's not easy. Just think about it, what if you have to meet a future in-laws for the first time or an important job interview. This kind of social gathering can make you anxious.

Most people find ways to fight their anxiety, such as getting extra rest time, avoiding caffeine on D-days, or listening to favorite songs to calm them down before facing situations that make them anxious.

When this strategy fails, when social anxiety is too disturbing for everyday life such as rejecting job interviews, or you are too afraid to date because you are worried that it will damage night dinner conversations, then this is a clinical issue.

Diagnostic Guidelines and Mental Disorder Statistics define social anxiety as a significant fear or anxiety in social situations and lasts for six months or more.
