Hi, my name is Dennis I've come here to look at the issue that is curious to me, which is outlined in the "can't stop staring at people" thread. http://www.socialphobiaworld.com/cant-stop-staring-at-people-28003/page-18/


I tried to give advice as unregistered but it seems to not be up, so I'll write it again, but it basically boiled down to:

1. distracting yourself. i've found it helps immensely to be in your own world and think of stuff you need to do. You ARE coming across one way or another, be it a shy person/ confident/ etc, so which way works for you is the way you have to OWN it, which is 2:

2. is simply to say "look, as long as I am not hurting people (and you aren't with staring, you are simply making people think about why you are looking and make THEMSELVES nervous, but they aren't thinking ABOUT YOU. If you walked in the busy street, you wouldnt have this issue after 10 minutes. Also realize if you are freaking out inside people can't SEE inside you, they can only look at you, so "keep it cool" and remember 3, which is most important.


3. is to genuinely wish people well and hope they do the same for you. Notice the highlighted word. If you deal with too many judgmental characters (hell, we all have) - realize this is just THEIR way to deal with life, it isn't necessarily the right one. I've met some smart people who like to judge, but I remember (and sometimes have to remind) them that while they might be correct in one area, they too have areas which they are not doing too well in - so KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. Listen to people to excel at MANY things, love, wealth, health - balanced people. Not just those who hold something like money or status over others.



so, my question to you is:

I've found that focusing on breath is helpful as Buddhists like to say, however it is DIFFICULT to do in social situations. What I'd like to do is help with a product that would distract you enough to compose your thoughts and stop the "freak out cycle"

and no it's not a cell phone :)


so think of something like a meditation balls or seeds that you can play with.

What I would like to make is a bracelet that would let you focus on something other than your brain. Something simple you can "play" with when you need to relax.


Would you be interested in this product? Would it help you personally? Would you buy it?


cheers guys
