feeling really positive and confident today

[Neebo]

Today when I went out to the shop to run an errand I felt really confident and actually almost relaxed and I was on my own I was able to look people in the eye and felt less self conscious. I mentally told myself that they were just people and there was nothing to be anxious about. And also I had nothing to be ashamed about and I had as much right to be outside as they did. And for thinking that,I felt a lot more confident Infact I now feel that with some help such as CBT,I can overcome Socialphobia and try to lead a normal as possible life and I vow to fight it all the way :x It won't be easy I know,but I now feel like I have the confidence and willpower to try to defeat it

This is good what you felt today. When something like this happens to us is like winning a very big battle, you have to keep being like this. And if other day it's not that good like this you don't have to go down, just remember what you achieved today.
Congratulation.

That is awesome! I hope you have many more experiences like this in the future.

I like your concept of reminding yourself of your own rights, which are the same as others, and that you are a person just like them. I have a tendency of a SP to think that I'm an somehow different than other people, but I'm not.
