Phased load
This is the first method of getting rid of the fear of communication. The idea of this method is that you must overcome your fear gradually. First take the smallest step, for example, speak with the seller in the store, give a compliment to a colleague of the opposite sex. Choose an action that takes you out of your comfort zone quite a bit. Take such small steps until they become something ordinary for you. Then complicate your task and do so until the fear of communication disappears completely or ceases to cause severe inconvenience.

Spontaneous action
People who are afraid of communication often prepare in advance for the upcoming conversation, rehearsing cues and scrolling through whole monologues in their heads. By such actions you emphasize the importance of the upcoming communication for yourself, which means you increase your fear of it. And the more internal rehearsals you have, the stronger will be the fear, which can even turn into a panic. Therefore, before the upcoming event, it is only necessary to draw up an action plan, but not to pronounce all your statements. On the contrary - get distracted. And when the time comes, act spontaneously and you simply will not have time for fear.

Depreciation
People tend to attach great importance to what they are afraid of. And vice versa - the less you attach importance to certain areas of life, the easier they are given to you. Make communication easier - because you cannot easily and carefreely start a conversation, you do not become a less competent specialist or a bad friend. People for whom you are important will not attach much importance to your indulgence - they will lead a conversation. In order for the depreciation method to work, you need to develop in other areas of life, become a highly skilled specialist and an erudite person.
