Explore the third lesson on negative thinking that fuels social anxiety. Analyze negative self labels, predictions, and thoughts like saying something stupid, while preparing for avoidance patterns.
Understand how avoidance and safety behaviors fuel social anxiety by delaying tests of beliefs, such as not speaking, avoiding eye contact, or masking symptoms, and how this keeps fears untested.
Explore how imagined appearances to others sustain social anxiety and how core beliefs (shaped by early experiences) act as filters that guide thoughts and expectations in social situations.
Explain how social threat is perceived as probability and cost, and six factors—negative thoughts, avoidance, safety behaviors, self and environment attention, appearance to others, and negative core beliefs—maintain social anxiety.
