The Most Awkward Moments You Have Ever Seen - How to overcome social awkwardness

Use self talk. Self talk will help you to shift the focus from worrying about what others are thinking of you and back onto calming yourself so that you can project a sense of ease with yourself.Some of the things that can be helpful in overcoming moments of social anxiety include:

• "I’m going to be okay. My feelings are not always rational, so I can relax and calm myself."
• "I am paying too much attention to my bad feelings in my body."
• "People are nice and I'm having fun being around them."
• "I am here to enjoy myself."
