About WalkTheTalk
We’re WalkTheTalk, a peer support community for people living with social anxiety. Our free online groups meet each week for anyone struggling with any aspect of social anxiety. Although it feels like it, you’re not alone. 1 in 15 of us live with social anxiety disorder. Not natural pre-presentation or first date nerves, but the life-altering anxiety that comes with everyday interactions.
It takes us an average 20 years before we ‘do’ something about it. We start to adopt ‘safety behaviours’ such as avoidance. These give us a short-term relief, but soon subside to feelings of guilt, low self esteem and act as a slow puncture to our confidence. It becomes hard to get out of the hole.
Saying no to life means missed opportunities. Relationships can suffer, earnings can take a hit and joy and meaning can be sucked out of life.
But the good news is, it’s entirely reversible.
