Write a journal. Take notes. Write when you are feeling wretched, when your mind is about to break down...who knows what will float up to the surface?

Even nightmares may be marketable -- there is something to be said for the conscious, calculating exorcism of nightmares, if they give to us such works as those of Dostoyevsky, Celine,and Kafka.

Or, you might feel like a chameleon who changes opinions depending on the situation. Not expressing your opinions can make you feel empty and unsure of what you really believe. Writing your thoughts and feelings in a journal can help you figure out your likes and dislikes, your opinions on tough issues, and what you stand for. Once you have your true beliefs down on paper, they will seem more concrete and you will be able to remember them during social situations. Although you probably are aware of what causes you the most anxiety, you also may have worries that are more difficult to identify. People often use various mental tricks to bury problems that are painful or difficult. As you write in your journal, you will become more aware of hidden fears and worries. Once they are brought into the open, you can begin to cope with them more effectively. Writing about events also makes it easier to be objective. While a belief, such as “Everyone thinks I’m stupid,” may cross your mind unconsciously, writing it down makes you realize how false and exaggerated it is. Once you see how maladaptive some of your thoughts are, it is easier to change them. In addition, a journal is valuable whenever you feel discouraged. Reviewing past entries will remind you how much you have improved over time. This insight will help you stay motivated and will make you want to keep working on the problem. Past entries are also helpful in figuring out how to deal with events in the present. You can look back at various situations, discover what actions worked (or didn’t), and feel confident in repeating them (or not).”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Heather Moehn" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/heather-moehn/how-journal-writing-helps-because-of-your-social-anxiety-you-may-be/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ca/heather-moehn-10554_fear_how-journal-writing-helps-because-of-you_2067473.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ca/heather-moehn-10554_fear_how-journal-writing-helps-because-of-you_2067473.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ca/heather-moehn-10554_fear_how-journal-writing-helps-because-of-you_2067473.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“How Journal Writing Helps Because of your social anxiety, you may be so afraid that any opinions you have…” — Heather Moehn", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 17, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“It seems as if I can only thing if I write my journal, it just connects the part of my head that is busy doing things with the part that is busy thinking about everything else.
