To overcome social anxiety, one should focus on specific strategies. Firstly, straightening up, inhaling deeply, and making long exhalations can help shut off the worried voice by short-circuiting the amygdala. Secondly, making brief eye contact is crucial because without it, our brain lacks reassuring stimuli, resorting to excessive analytical thinking. One should aim for brief one-second eye contact intervals, especially when in a conversation, and avoid prolonged stares. Additionally, smiling is essential as it leads to natural empathic mirroring when interacting with others.
