Top 6 Reasons You Need to Put Yourself First
6 Compelling Reasons to Prioritize Yourself and Break Free from Social Anxiety’s Grip!
Social anxiety is one of the many things that can prevent us from living a fulfilling life. One of the most important struggles to overcome is getting off our own social pedestals and putting ourselves first. This article will go through five top reasons why you must put yourself first when you have social anxiety.
Number 1: You will succeed better if you put your goals first.
Too often, people with social anxiety choose to put other people’s needs before their own. They let other people dictate how they should live their life and the roles they play in it. Most of the time, those in our social circle are unaware of our discomfort. They likely have no idea how significantly it affects us and causes us to mess up our own lives; they won’t understand what it’s like to be nervous when initiating conversations or having them initiated on you.
When you are putting others first, it causes you to act in ways that aren’t healthy for you. You will fail at work and relationships and experience emotional turmoil from being around your friends.
