Tips to help feel more comfortable in public

Post Reply New Topic

I wear hoodies it helps to block out the world, usually wear them during exams too

Any other tips?

try wearing comfortable footwear... it seems basic, but is awesome when you get a pair of shoes you love. when you find you have to stand for long periods of time, it is very good. what's wrong; do you get a little sociophobic with a bunch of people around? or, are you more agoraphobic? does it overload your senses? actually, the outside tends to be bright, so i try to bring a pair of sun glasses. sometimes, school or random grocery markets are too bright, so i wear them inside, as well. ear plugs come in handy also for the stores and restaurants. i find if i can sort of cancel out either auditory or eyesight overload, i am more comfortable.

Mp3-players block out sound and recharges me, working out gives me more energy and makes me feel good.

Working out: I'm only "capable" of working out for some months before I quit, but during those months I feel a little better.

Wash your clothes with perfume-free washing agents (I use neutral). Removes a lot of that itchiness.

Philosophize. When you spend your day working in hellishly noisy environments; try to philosophize about life, the smallness of the situation you're in and so forth. This can also be used to block out physical pain. I find that easier though. x)
