Phobias

No, if you avoided those situations then maybe. Everyone feels out of their depth or out shined by someone else. If you only stutter in social situations then maybe, otherwise it's just stage fright. But it seems like your at the party, your just not the center of it. If you start to seriously avoid social situtions then maybe you should see a doctor. Also because you are aware of it, it will compound itself. i.e. you stutter a little because your nervous, then you start to get real nervous because your stuttering so your stuttering gets even worse. In people with anxiety this just repeats itself until the person has a panic attack.

Yes, there is a specific phobia called "sociophobia" or "social anxiety disorder" that involves an intense fear or anxiety of social situations, including making friends.

Jealousy can stem from a combination of factors such as fear of loss, low self-esteem, and insecurities. It often arises when there is a perceived threat to a relationship or self-worth. In some cases, jealousy can be a sign of deeper emotional issues that may need to be addressed through self-reflection or therapy.

Well, it isn't quite as simple as that. Depending on the situation and the type of person you are, this can vary.

If its a situation you are scared of, you can sometimes help this out. Think what the worst possible consequences are (if its a bank robbery and your hostage, maybe best you do this only to make sure you don't get yourself killed. This is best for more minor situations). Sometimes you iwll find they aren't even that bad! Try and pinpoint what you are afraid of exactly.

Sometimes you can talk yourself out of fear. For example, is your fear practical? If not, then stop worrying about it. If your afraid that a terrorist will suddenly run up to you with a bomb taped to his chest and blow you up, this is not a practical fear (unless you are currently serving over-seas of course). You have twice the chance of being crushed by a vending machine than to be killed by terrorists.

Fear is often said to be the weakest emotion. Fear clouds decision and can kill psychical response (Adrenaline is completely different). Think about it, being scared of things is a waste of emotion and thinking often. Especially things that can't be controlled or modified by you. If you have no say in it, what's going to happen will happen so stop worrying about it.

Since just to "stop worrying about it" is ahrd for many people, here are some things that help many people out:

-Calm your mind, stop racing from thought to thought. Stay away from the "what if?" thoughts. Attempt to stop thinking about it so much.

-Take deep breaths. This is a proven technique to calm the body.

-Some people find meditating helpful.

-Attempt to clam your eyes. Many people agree calming the eyes will result in the mind and body following suit. This means to stop looking around so much, slowing your blinkrate (you blink consistently more when yo uare anxious, lying, nervous, or scared).

Fear-based or coercive motivation is often referred to as extrinsic motivation, where an individual is driven by outside factors such as punishment or threat. This type of motivation may result in short-term compliance but can have negative long-term effects on an individual's well-being and performance.

Freud's theory suggests that neurosis can be caused by repressed fears and desires from the unconscious mind. These repressed emotions can create inner conflicts that lead to psychological distress. However, modern psychology also considers various other factors, such as genetics, environment, and life experiences, in the development of neurosis.

Yes, if their fear prevent's them from entering, they can be sedated. Although for entering at will, it depends on how strong their claustrophobia is, E.g. I have claustrophobia but unless I fell like I will get stuck, I am fine. And by get stuck, that does NOT include elevators (For me)

A traditional way to get over any fear is by consistent exposure. If you start out small and work up, it causes less pain. You could start out by getting a tape of thunder and lightning... they actually sell them for relaxation, so they are available, but for you, you can use them to get used to the sounds. Play the sound of the rain, and listen to the occasional thunder sounds behind it. Look at pictures of lightning. Work up a little at a time if it is hard... if it is easier, go faster. Once you're ready, then start getting some movies with big storms in them... then you're getting the sounds and the lighting together. Watch those... and try some National Geographic specials (or something similar) on storms. Work with those for a while... keep watching them, over and over, until it is easy for you. Then you're ready for the real thing. Weather doesn't always happen when we want it to, but when you are ready, watch a real storm through the window. ... If you get brave enough, you can go even further and walk out in it and watch the lightning. ... remember though, overcoming ANY phobia is hard. Start very small... you have to deal with discomfort to change, but don't overwhelm yourself by thinking about the scariest parts in the beginning... start really, really small, and work up to it. ... And once you get to the point where it isn't interfering with your life, you can stop. You don't have to learn to like it. You can just learn to tolerate it. It is always your choice on how far you want to go in trying to overcome a fear. ... I'm scared of roller coasters, personally. They scare me to death, and I don't really enjoy being scared. So, I have dealt with the fear enough so that I can go if I am with friends and they want to go. I even went on the world's largest roller coaster with a friend of mine who loves them... but I mostly avoid them, because it doesn't often interfere with my life. The same goes with thunderstorms. Don't feel like you *have* to learn to dance in the rain or something... you can work on it enough that so you don't panic. That's okay.

Never let them know you are afraid of them. Look them straight in the eye and plant your feet solid on the ground! Once a person knows you are afraid of them then they realize they have you under their thumb. Of course you will still feel fear and even may have the 'shakes' after the incident is over, but remind yourself that no one has the right to make your feel afraid or to pick on you in anyway. Don't get into a debate with such people and say things like 'Oh, is that right' or, 'I prefer not to discuss that.' If they are constantly hounding you try to hold your own and walk by them if possible. If they can't get a reaction out of you then they'll just move onto someone else that they know will fear them.
