How to Overcome Approach Anxiety (FAST)

Do you get nervous when approaching and talking to girls or just new people in general? Do you get panic attacks that freeze you in your tracks?

For people with approach anxiety, everyday social interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness, and embarrassment.

We have all been in social situations that made us feel uncomfortable and anxious. While some people turn to medication for temporary relief, I’m here to provide you with a more permanent solution to help you overcome approach anxiety once and for all. Here is a simple exercise that’s helped me overcome it and be comfortable with social interactions:

First go to your local grocery store or retail store and ask the employees for help.

Start with something easy like asking them to help you find a certain product or get an opinion from them.

Since they are there to help the shoppers, they will talk to you and provide assistance without hesitation.

Doing so will get you more comfortable with approaching and talking to strangers.

Eventually when you get comfortable with that, you can start having conversations with them about the product and get their opinions on it.

After that you can try talking to people that you come across in your day to day life, asking them small things like the time, or simply giving them a compliment. (most people find it easier to talk to people of the same sex than the opposite sex because they don’t fear rejections)

Later on after you’ve completed that stage, you’ll find it much more easier to approach and talk to the girls you are attracted to.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to know more about it.
