Any reason????

Hi

Can anyone tell me if there is any logical reason to why i fear people so much i get a panic attack most of the time someone talks to me. If anyone can give a explanation i would be grateful

Hi shacky

I'm no expert, but my guess is that you feel that you are being judged by others and feel not good enough. Other people may seem really confident and really together but underneath it, a vast majority of people have problems and are fallible imperfect human beings just like us all! Some people are better at projecting a perfect confident image, thats all. I think you should concentrate on feeling that you are as good as the next person. I hope this boosts your confidence and helps.

Hi

Thanks for your reply easier said than done though. Most days im fine thank you.

Hi

I'm glad you feel fine most of the time. I really feel for those on these forums who have a seemlingly constant battle with panic attacks. I know what it is like to have panic attacks, I have them myself in certain situations and I also know how irrational it is and it is so frustrating because it seems so stupid. I suppose I will never be totally free from fear but I'm working on my own self confidence and trying to not bother what other people think. I'm sure it helps to focus on other things and to remember that everyone has problems, quite often worse than our own. Although I admit this is often difficult to do whilst actually having a panic attack!
