Dear Poll: Do You Drink to Feel More Comfortable in Social Settings?
Although I do enjoy a drink out with my girlfriends, I definitely know that there’s a difference between drinking socially and drinking to be social. However, many people suffer from anxiety when presented with certain social situations, and the natural effects of alcohol often curb those worries. Though it can lead to more problems than it's worth, it's not surprising to find that some people feel they have to drink to be comfortable among others.
Relationship Protocol: Touchy Subjects
As we make it through the personal successes, failures, and traumas of life, it’s inevitable that we pick up some sore spots along the way that when poked or nudged, can release a torrent of feelings. And just as we develop them on our own, it’s common for touchy subjects to arise as we encounter normal relationship issues. It could be something that consistently creates an argument or something that makes one person extremely uncomfortable, whatever it is, it always involves a lot of emotion.
Helping a Friend Who Has Anxiety
Everyone gets nervous or anxious at some point in their lives, but if you or a friend is experiencing these feelings more times than not, anxiety might be to blame. This goes deeper than just feeling a little worried or paranoid; it's a mental condition that can cause physical symptoms such as panic attacks, sweating, increased heart rate, and heavy breathing. It can also cause people to be antisocial, withdrawn, and painfully shy.
Kid Has Extreme Camera Fright
This has to be the worst case of the jitters I've ever seen. It's so bad that the poor kid has to do an endless number of takes to make his single sentence announcement and by the time he's done, I'm still confused. And why'd he have to go and drop the F-bomb at the end there?
Self-Help: Getting Over Stage Fright
Speaking in public can be really scary for some people. While we all get a little nervous or anxious, for some, it can be down right horrifying. It's a kind of Performance Anxiety and these feelings have a lot to do with low self-confidence and possibly a past failure or bad experience.
Dear Poll: Do you Compliment Back?
It's always nice to hear a compliment from someone, especially a stranger! Some people are good with receiving them whereas others get uneasy and shy when hearing other people say positive things about them. I'm not sure if it's a nervous habit, but I notice that some people automatically give a complement in return when they are given one.
You Asked: Sex Makes Me Nervous
Dear Sugar--
I am 26 and just moved to a different state. It has been about 10 months since I had a girlfriend (and sex) and I am currently getting serious with a girl I have been seeing. I have had the problem for years getting extremely nervous the first couple times having sex with my previous sex partners, in which I would not be able to keep it going and lose my sail if you will.
