Will social phobia keep me from love?

Tricky question, with only 10 days left, most students are not looking to hook up with anyone. Get some counseling before college and practice socializing over the summer. You have such a fear of rejection that your mind is made up before you even get to the party. You have your mind prepared that you will automatically be rejected by men, that even if they did the smallest thing your mind would blow it up into something more than it is. Your mind has a fear of rejection so you are going to the party defensive and prepared for battle, instead of going to the party with a positive attitude and prepared to have a good time, you are going prepared to be miserable. It is like you are transferring the negative things men have done to you in the past on people you haven't even met yet. You need to give yourself a break and go to the party with an open mind, a positive mind, and prepared to have a good time. If someone snubs you, shake it off and focus on positive things, so that you can be relaxed and others can approach you. It is easier to approach a positive person who is open to meeting new people that to approach someone who is defensive. Keep in mind that if someone rejects your opinion, it doesn’t mean they reject you. They might not have the same beliefs as you on every subject, that doesn’t mean they reject you. I don't like pineapple on pizza, I am not rejecting my sister, I am rejecting pineapple. Chin up, give yourself a break and don't take yourself so seriously. Watch TV or movies and see how the characters interact with each other. Watch how your family, church members, people around town interact with each other. Practice, it is all about practice. Practice with family or friends, like if you went to a dance and asked someone to dance, practice what would happen if they said yes, practice what would happen if they said no. We all fear rejection, we all are afraid of saying something stupid, but if that happens, just laugh it off and move on. Everyone who reads aloud in church goofs a word, even the Pastor, we all know how that feels, but you laugh and keep moving forward. It is like the quote….”Be who you are and say what you feel ‘cause people who mind don’t matter, and people who matter don’t mind.” Dr. Seuss. Go to polls and surveys and answer questions so you get good at answering random questions. Write down questions that are fun and interesting to you. Y/A has an entertainment section with categories like jokes and riddles and polls and surveys. It is always good to have a good joke, so copy them down so you don’t forget the punch line. Polls and surveys has a lot of good questions and they change all the time, so it is a good source for questions to ask when the conversations stall.
