Do you sometimes find yourself feeling very anxious around people? Do you sometimes manage to talk confidently to some people while in other times anxiety prevents you from properly choosing the right words to say? If your answers were yes then read this article to know the reasons behind this kind of anxiety. Feeling anxious around people
The only reason a person feels anxious when he is talking to strangers is the obsessive thoughts that fills his mind while being with those strangers. The State of confidence is a state of having a clear mind where no obsessive thoughts prevent the processes of thinking.

That’s why some people only feel anxious around beautiful people, in my article fear of pretty women I explained how those who have self image problems always feel afraid when they encounter someone who is prettier than them. Self confidence and the clear mind
So what are the kind of thoughts that fills the head of the person encountering strangers? These thoughts might be fear of being judged, believing that he is inferior to some of them, thinking that he is ugly or having self image problems in general. The more thoughts that occupy your mind when talking to strangers the less likely you will find the right words to say and the more likely you will strengthen your obsessive thoughts.

Whenever you encounter someone these thoughts start repeating themselves in your mind over and over until they completely paralyze you and make you anxious. The only way to become confident around strangers is to examine these deeply rooted beliefs and work on changing them as they are the main source of the obsessions. If for example your main problem was your poor self image then fixing your self image and dealing with the false beliefs about your looks will help you have a clear mind the next time you encounter a stranger and you will find yourself acting confidently.
