When it comes to posting comments and interacting on social media, anxiety can be a huge issue for some people. If this is something you struggle with, you're not alone. The good news is there are ways to overcome this anxiety. Here are three ways to overcome your fear of interacting on social media.
Don't Overthink
One of the biggest causes of anxiety, especially when it comes to sharing things online, is overthinking. People run things over and over in their minds and come up with the worst possible outcomes. Of course it's helpful to make sure that what you're sharing is appropriate to be on social media; bullying, sharing private secrets or sharing adult content isn't advised. However, if you're simply commenting your thoughts or experiences, there's no reason to censor yourself.
Start With Easy Topics
Begin posting about things you know a lot about. If you're passionate about animals or music, share things about those topics. Sometimes, people get anxious because they're not sure that what they're saying is true. If you're posting about things you're passionate about, this won't be an issue.
Post Anonymously
A lot of blogs and sites give you the option to comment anonymously. This can help if you decide that you don't like what you posted after the fact. No one will know it was you. You can check back on your comment and see what reactions you're getting without anyone saying anything to you directly.
I hope these tips help you feel more comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings on social media. It can be a very good outlet for people struggling with all types of anxiety. Why not start by commenting on this post and sharing something simple about your favorite hobby or TV show?
Have a great day and I wish you health and happiness!
