3 Reasons Why Social Anxiety and Introversion are Often (Mistakenly) Put in the Same Basket

Social anxiety and introversion are often mistakenly considered the same thing and used interchangeably. As someone who struggled with social anxiety disorder in the past, and did a lot of research on the subject in the efforts to overcome it, I’d like to clear up a few misconceptions about social anxiety and introversion.

They might seem to have a lot in common on the surface, but their root cause is very different.

Introversion is a personality trait which, in itself, doesn’t make the person suffer and can’t be changed much throughout life. Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a mental health disorder that can be very distressing and can be overcome with the right self-help approach and/or therapy.

Let’s see why they might seem like the same thing, and the root causes behind each one of them, showing how they are actually two very different states.

1. A socially anxious person and an introvert both tend to avoid socializing.

Introverts recharge their batteries when they are alone, while socializing drains the energy out of them. That doesn’t mean they never enjoy being around people. But they will pick their company rather carefully and don’t want to waste their time and energy on small talk and going to big parties. They prefer calm places and deep, long conversations with a handful of people.

A socially anxious person, on the other hand…

5 Things to Remember When You Want to Give Up on Life

Spring is now in full bloom, so things are looking up. At least, that’s what is to be expected, right? But for those of us who are battling anxiety or depression, we may not feel the same alleviation. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 38,285 deaths were caused by suicide in 2011, which translates to approximately 734 deaths per week. The rate, however, unfortunately grows even higher when the flowers start to blossom. Winter has a reputation for being the most brutal, so why is it during the season of rebirth that most people decide to take their own lives?

Biometeorologist Grady Dixon from Mississippi State University states that he discovered two potential theories that explains the tie between spring and suicide. Dixon hypothesizes that when the season arrives, people with severe depression are motivated to take action and follow through with taking their own life. Winter, on the other hand, often freezes their desire to make a plan to do it when they feel overwhelmed and disengaged. Dixon’s second theory proposes that people are usually aware that they are affected by seasonal depression. So when spring finally comes and they don’t feel better, they feel isolated from those who do recover.

There’s so much tragedy involved with growing up—responsibilities and bills pile up, breakups happen when you love the wrong person, and the people who you couldn’t wait to see each day are now the ones you hesitate to contact. It doesn’t get easier, but we want to remind you that there will always be moments in between that make things okay. Psych2Go shares with you 5 things to remember when you want to give up on life:

1. Your problems are temporary, but suicide is not.

When people are in the process of committing suicide, their lives replay in their head, and right then and there, they wish they could go back and stop themselves when they realize that their problems—every single one of them—could’ve been fixed. But when you decide to kill yourself, you don’t have the option to grow out your regrets. It’s cold, permanent, and forever…

10 Strengths of Being an Introvert

I have often been intrigued by people who think that loud people are the successful ones. Day in, day out I come across different sorts of people, and all of them believe in talking methods to influence others. They talk like experts in the field… as if they are gurus of life who know everything, can speak on any given subject and have gained life’s wisdom with their experiential knowledge. They believe in the power of their words and tend to think that their words influence their hearers. Most of them that I have met are extroverts of this kind. Extroverts are talkers, and I do agree 100 percent that they do have the power of verbal communication. If their hearers tend, to be introverts like me, they get to mistake my silence or my listening for lack of knowledge or as a person with poor insight. I have often noticed that they are not good listeners and don’t give the introvert an opportunity to talk.

So, in reality, are introverts poor in communication skills or are they not people who can influence others? Absolutely not! Introverts have great strengths of their own. Susan Cain, the international best seller of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking lists on the strengths of introverts.

Ten strengths of being an introvert are:

1. Quiet Temperament

Cain says that introverts have a quiet temperament which is their hidden superpower. I agree with Cain. Just because introverts are not great socializers, it doesn’t make them less……..
