How Social Anxiety Impacts What You See Visually - Episode 31

I’m not exaggerated or using this as a metaphor. The same way when you put on those Ray Bans…all of a sudden there’s a darker filter on the world, it’s the same.

It's not an exaggeration when you hear people or see in movies how people who are depressed see the world in black and white grey colors with no vibrancy or color 🌈

When this mode in your nervous system is activated you also feel out of control, the world is dangerous and threatening, you face thoughts of hostility and fear and are unable to think clearly or even make decisions.

Believe me or not, this is the reality for many people who face social anxiety.

I also had no idea until I saw the opposite happen in front of me..
