Every single person wants to exist and operate in environments that make them feel safe. Saif. Whether it's shyness or social anxiety or some combination of the two that is affecting you,

I know how painful it can be to find that you don't get excited about events or times when you're going to be in a room with other people,

especially when there's going to be a lot of people, how it can make you unable to be present

and actually enjoy whatever situation you're in because you're spending too much time in your head,

feeling uneasy, not feeling present at all, having no sense of calm. I know how it can ruin dates, how it can ruin parties, how it can just make everything feel like a really big deal. So my aim with this video is to give you something practical

that you can use that helped me overcome my shyness and my sense of social anxiety that once I had it worked every single time I stepped into a situation

that made me feel anxious. And when you're able to do that, we start to make a bigger impact on the world and the results we get in the world start to change. That might mean more dates, it might mean attracting love,

it might mean being more powerful at work in a meeting, in a presentation, or it might mean

that you're much more fluid and confident working the room in a social engagement.

So I'm excited to share this with you, have a pen and paper ready.

If anything speaks to you in this video make notes.

So I was a shy kid and I have also for much of my life identified with having some form of social anxiety.

That is surprising to a lot of people who see me as a very extroverted and confident person at least on the surface

but anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not a natural life of the party kind of person.

I identify with Stephen Fry's notion that there is nothing he hates more than a party.

Don't get me wrong, I've had some amazing parties.

I've had an amazing time at some parties.

But if you ask me to come to a party tonight, my initial reaction is,

ah, and there's a good chance over the course of my life that on my way there,

I will feel uneasy or even anxious. In fact when I was a kid and I used to go to

birthday parties of other kids they used to give out like party bags to all of the kids at the end of the

parties.
