Social anxiety and introversion are often mistakenly considered the same thing and used interchangeably. As someone who struggled with social anxiety disorder in the past, and did a lot of research on the subject in the efforts to overcome it, I’d like to clear up a few misconceptions about social anxiety and introversion.

They might seem to have a lot in common on the surface, but their root cause is very different.

Introversion is a personality trait which, in itself, doesn’t make the person suffer and can’t be changed much throughout life, while social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a mental health disorder that can be very distressing and can be overcome with the right self-help approach and/or therapy.

Let’s see why they might seem like the same thing, and the root causes behind each one of them, showing how they are actually two very different states.

1. A socially anxious person and an introvert both tend to avoid socializing.

Introverts recharge their batteries when they are alone, while socializing drains the energy out of them. That doesn’t mean they……..

Have you ever had an “out of body” experience or daydreamed while you were driving, but didn’t realize it? Having a dissociative identity disorder is a lot like that, but more frequent and intense. Psych2Go shares with you 5 facts you need to know about dissociative identity disorder (DID):

1. What is dissociative identity disorder (DID)?

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) was formerly known as multiple personality disorder and is a condition in which the individual’s identity is fragmented in two or more personalities. DID is often caused by many factors, such as trauma from severe childhood abuse (emotional, physical, and/or sexual). The individual experiences fragments of their identity, rather than separate personalities.

The condition causes memory loss that is too extreme to be defined as mere forgetfulness. People with dissociative identity disorder experience an overall lack of connection in their actions, feelings, memories, and identity. The reason for their dissociative behavior is because it serves as a coping mechanism where the person can remove themselves from a situation or experience that’s too painful or traumatic to be fully involved in.

2. What are the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder?

People with DID often describe the condition similar to being possessed. They may hear voices in their head and experience sudden or impulsive emotions that they have no control over. In other words, it’s a lot like not having the power or option to choose who you want to be, which is what makes it both a terrifying and difficult experience to recover from.

The individual’s identity involves constant change through their behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, and motor function. There are also many gaps in the memories of their personal history, whether it’s from their early childhood or something that happened very recent. As a result, people with DID often experience a lot of distress in their lives when the condition impacts their ability to connect socially with others as well as their ability to complete daily tasks in the workplace. People with DID may also experience other problems, such as depression, mood swings, sleep disorders, anxiety, alcohol and/or drug abuse, compulsions and rituals, and eating disorders. It’s important to be aware, too, that more than 70% of those diagnosed with DID have attempted or thought about suicide, which is why treatment…

It’s hard to remain focused and productive if you are stressed out.

Most of us could do with a healthy dose of freshly found body confidence. But how do we get that body confidence in a world where so many media outlets are focused on making us feel like we are lacking, in order to sell their wares? In this article we’ll discuss some psychology based tips that might just help us feel better about our bodies. What are body confidence tips that work for you?

1. Try to ditch the obsession with clothing size numbers, focus on trying to find clothes that fit.

You might have seen social media posts that show us that sizes with the same number are not necessarily the same physical size in every store, or for every brand. While it is difficult to stop focusing on the size you have, realising that sizes aren’t always reliable is a good first step to improving your body confidence. Now comes the thing that makes you look better: wearing clothes that fit. Even if your ego might……
