Uncomfortable meeting new people? Here's how to fight shyness

If you have an overwhelming fear of socialising with new people,you perhaps suffer from social phobia.A feeling of self-consciousness,nervousness or a dislike towards attending a social function is not unusual,but if you end up feeling miserable(physical too)before,during and after a get-together,it needs to be addressed.
Anyone with anxiety pertaining only to the area of his work,has specific social anxiety or performance anxiety.
If the fear extends to common social situations such as eating,seeking help,meeting new people,attending interviews,and venturing into restrooms it is generalised social anxiety.Trembling,sweating and feeling nauseous,among other things,indicate anxiety.This sense of discomfort is often misinterpreted such individuals can develop 'anticipatory anxiety',which at an advanced level can lead to a panic attack before any event.
To improve self-esteem,one must develop social skills.A counsellor can also help in guiding the person's thoughts in the right direction,so that they react better.
