Why do I feel anxious and want to cancel social events, even after seeking help before?

Answer - Psychological explanation: Tanya, what you are going through is a kind of anxiety that does not go away. This is anxiety with avoidance. When you think about going to events you get really scared. This happens even when you really want to go to the event. You get a heartbeat, you feel dizzy and you want to cancel. This is because your body has learned to be afraid of situations. Your brain thinks that being around people is a thing. Even if you try to get help you can still feel this way. That is because social anxiety is not just in your thoughts it is also in your body. Your nervous system remembers the anxiety. This is why you still have these feelings. You still have anxiety, with avoidance. When you avoid things it helps a little with the fear at first. It also tells your brain that social events are not safe. This keeps the fear going. You feel frustrated. Blame yourself when you want to go to social events. You do not feel like you can go. Just because you keep feeling this way it does not mean you are failing. It means your brain needs to learn that social events are safe and this takes time. Your brain needs to learn that you cannot just force yourself or think your way out of fear. Social events and fear are connected in your brain. You need to work on this connection to make it better. Fear and social events you have to deal with. Astrology explanation: So your Pisces Sun, which is a symbol of being really sensitive and empathetic. This means you are sensitive to the emotions of people around you and it can be hard to separate your feelings. This is why sometimes being around a lot of people can feel totally overwhelming and you might feel guilty or self-conscious after it is over.. The position of the planets in your sign does not make you afraid of social things or cause you to panic and avoid people. Your Pisces Sun is one part of who you are; it does not control how you react to things. Your Pisces Sun might show a bit about your personality but it is not more important than your psychology or biology. Many people with similar charts feel socially at ease, which shows this is not destiny. Your anxiety is learned, reinforced, and therefore reversible. Real change comes from compassion, nervous-system regulation, and slowly rebuilding trust in social safety, not from fate written in the stars.
