How to Easily Overcome Social Anxiety - Prof. Jordan Peterson

The enemy of the good person is empty, that's all you learn.

If you smoke weed STOP. All your social anxiety will disappear. For years I couldn’t figure out why I was so shy and would get tongue tied. I stopped smoking for a new job and all my anxiety disappeared.

2 things that helped me and literally changed my life
1. I stopped watching porn
2. I read the book called 'exit the matrix' on lexnory
3. Stop drinking

It’s not as simple as “social anxiety.” It’s about how your nervous system and brain react completely differently when there’s one person around versus three or even more people. For many, the limit in group conversations ranges from three to five people, and beyond that, they begin to shut down or feel “anxious” about presenting themselves. The psychological side of this fear involves worrying that others will notice your physical symptoms and judge you. Of course, this likely doesn’t happen with familiar people. Essentially, the cure for all this is to put yourself in these situations that make you anxious and to try to understand that it’s completely normal to have these feelings. Easier said than done though :)

Kaun kaun Insta reel dekh k aya ha 😂😂

I've observed and seen firsthand how social anxiety can twist our perceptions at gatherings. It’s wild how laughter can break the ice—like when someone trips and it’s way funnier than it should be!

I used to dread parties, thinking everyone was judging me, but I joined the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, which taught me to embrace humor as a way to connect rather than perform. Remember, being authentic and sharing a laugh is often the key to easing social tension. Keep pushing through; humor can really transform those awkward moments!

WHAT IS SOCIAL FREEDOM? WHY DOES IT MATTER? AND WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME?

You guys wanna hear something absolutely mind-blowing? I used to have crippling social anxiety—no confidence, no real friends, no dating life. I was stuck, isolated, and miserable. Fast forward just three years: I’ve met over 3,000 people, had countless romantic adventures, built deep, meaningful friendships, and had insane, unforgettable experiences. I went from being terrified of talking to strangers to becoming a coach with unshakable confidence, working alongside Andrew Gung—the top social coach in Australia. My life went from boring and lonely to a non-stop, thrilling ride filled with opportunities and connections.

And you’re probably wondering, how the hell did I do it? How did I go from the guy shaking with anxiety to someone who can talk to anyone, anywhere, and have fun doing it? Stick around—because I’m about to break it down for you step-by-step.

You

Here’s how I did it:

At first, I had stomach cramps and shaking hands from social anxiety, so I started small.

Step 1: Just Be in Public

For weeks, I would simply walk around in public. Didn’t talk to anyone, just got used to being out there. That’s how small I started.

Step 2: Say Hi

Next, I forced myself to say “hi” to people as I walked by. Nothing more. Simple, but terrifying.

Step 3: Compliments

Then I started giving out compliments. “Nice shirt.” “Cool shoes.” Basic stuff, but enough to get people’s attention and spark a smile.

Step 4: Hit the Clubs (Sober)

I began going to nightclubs completely sober—no talking, just observing. Getting comfortable in that social chaos.

Step 5: Dance (Loosen Up)

Then I started dancing. Not to meet people—just to loosen up. The goal wasn’t to impress anyone but to feel more comfortable in my body. This was huge.

Step 6: Non-Verbal Communication

Since I was still afraid to talk, I worked on non-verbal communication. I’d go to the club and high-five at least one person every time I went. This forced me to engage without speaking.

Step 7: Wingmen (Or Coaches)

I brought a friend with me to the club to push me to meet people. Wingmen or coaches cut the learning curve drastically—if you can afford a coach, get one.

Step 8: Start Interacting

I started reaching out my hand toward girls on the dance floor. They’d hold it, and we’d dance. Then I moved on to talking to girls at quieter rooftop bars where the environment was less chaotic. Slowly, I built verbal confidence.

Step 9: Romantic Adventures

After a few months, I had romantic adventures, made friends, and had stories to tell. The momentum started building.

Step 10: Acting Classes

Later, I signed up for acting. Three days a week, I had to express myself in front of a class of strangers. Then I performed on stage. This stretched my self-expression far beyond what I thought was possible.

Step 11: Going Out 4-5 Times a Week

For two years, I went out 4-5 times a week. I’d see someone interesting, whether it was a hot girl or a cool group of people, and I’d just start talking. Didn’t matter if it was a win or rejection, I reframed every interaction. If I won, great. If I got rejected, I’d analyze it. Was it my mistake, or maybe there just wasn’t any chemistry? That’s normal.

Step 12: Invest in Yourself

I took it to the next level. I spent $10,000 on a 12-day intensive social training course in Bali with Andrew Gung. In 12 days, I met over 230 people, went on 15 dates, and created lifelong friendships and stories. I also had a blast at Finn’s Beach Club, where my friend filmed me dancing. I posted it, it went viral, and got over 1 million views on Instagram.

This is what happens when you take action, learn from every win and failure, and surround yourself with people who push you.

Social freedom is about being able to fully be yourself in any situation without worrying about what others think. It’s about expressing your true intentions and being confident in who you are, no matter what. You learn this by putting yourself out there and interacting with people, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.

When you’re socially free, you can talk to anyone—strangers, potential friends, romantic interests—without fear of rejection. Over time, the fear of judgment fades, and you gain the ability to create better relationships, have more opportunities, and become someone people admire. It’s about living life on your own terms, free from the need for approval from others. Most importantly it’s about learning to be yourself, express yourself and love yourself. Living a life free from the prison of other peoples opinions allows you to pursue your highest potential in relationships, bussiness and life. If you don’t do this you may stay stuck in that prison forever living a life of quiet desperation, always wanting more but being too afraid to be yourself and go after what you want because you’ll always be held back by the fear of judgement which will hold you captive to a life of mediocrity until the day you die. This is social freedom, this is why it matters and this how to get it.

Good luck dealing with that sexual harassment claim from your colleague that you've been staring at like a freak, because she's a monster that needs to be defeated.

Okay, now...I'm here

Instagram reelers hi🎉

All depend how the brain works, some People have irational fear, and their biochemistry is diffrent

Il tell you one thing and really listen anxiety is basically just adrenalin so once you recognise this you recognise it will stop laugh at anxiety and make your base response as laughter every time you experience it 😂 and that will become the reaction instead of anxiety!!!!!!🎉😂 :)

Yea thats a good boy go to newest section 😂

Narcissistic psychologist

After watching a reel 🤡 let's see

And then there's me living in a country where most of the people are jobless so they have plenty of time to monitor you and make gossips😭.



edit: Seriously I don't think I'm socially anxious it just happens to me when I feel underdressed going to a big occasion or when I mess up, like being late for a meeting and when I finally arrive everyone is kinda looking down at me like I messed up the whole thing. So I get anxious when I accidentally give bad impressions of me by messing up.
