When we are outside, we frequently encounter a variety of individuals, and occasionally we might want to approach them. However, most of the time we lack the confidence to do so and we feel terrified, which can sometimes result in us losing our chances and possibilities to interact with that person.
Why is approaching someone for the first time terrifying?
1.It’s frightening to approach someone for the first time.
2.Because you naturally want to make a good first impression with this individual, but you don’t know how they will react to you.
3.Fear of being rejected
4.Afraid of being interpreted as a joke or foolish
5.Fear of leaving the confrontation zone, etc.
Are there any disadvantages to not approaching someone when you wanted to?
Yes, because it’s normal to feel nervous when approaching someone, especially if you don’t know them, but this type of fear
may prevent us from getting the opportunity we were meant to. For instance, you might be afraid to approach someone
when you want to introduce your business or ask for a connection, but you might not get either because of your fear.
Other scenarios include a boy who feels truly in love with a girl he meets for the first time but is too shy to approach her and
express his feelings. In this scenario, it would be bad since he would have missed the opportunity to express his feelings to
the girl, who might have felt the same way.
The following are 5 ways to get out of your comfort zone:
1.Try to overcome any negative thoughts that may arise in your head.
2.Taking physical action to combat your anxiousness
You can exercise by taking deep breaths, relaxing your body, and so on.
3.keep an eye contact with them
The eyes are generally always the first cue you offer someone to let them know what your intentions are.
4.keep your confidence up
Avoid being timid and losing your confidence. First, remind yourself that you can do it and that you will try your best regardless of the circumstances.
5.Be as relaxed and smile
Your ability to grin shows that you are at peace. When you approach someone, they may feel warm and welcome you, but if
you approach them too seriously, they may be terrified. However, if you approach them with a smile, they may believe that
you have come for peace and will be able to accept you.
Final thought
For the majority of us, talking to strangers is a miserable chore, but when you approach people for good reasons, such as to
make connections, grow your business, make friends, or express positive feelings, you find it more profitable than staying in
your comfort zone. However, be careful not to approach people without a good and secure reason because if you do, you risk
hurting both yourself and others.
