tbone22 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 For some reason I get anxiety when there comes a time when my friends and I go out and they hit the dance floor. I have no compulsion to dance at all, I feel stupid and that I dont know how. Everyone is always in awe when I say that I don't dance and I feel stupid but I just can't do it. I don't know what it is and it bothers me, I wish that one day I could build up the confidence without alcohol and dance! Has anyone else felt this way or am I alone on this one? Link to comment
_Asti_ Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I can only do it with many drinks in me..otherwise you won't catch me on a dancefloor! And I don't think anything will change that! Link to comment
sparkles4 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've never been shy about dancing, probably because I'm one of those weirdos who frequently dances around my room in front of the mirror whenever a good song comes on the radio. Try it sometime; you might find that you enjoy dancing when there's no one around to feel self-conscious in front of, and eventually you'll feel comfortable enough to start dancing in public.

TimArends Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You could try going only to very dark discotheques! Honestly, I do not think it is necessary to dance in order to be a social person, as long as you choose others who are also not into dancing. I do not believe that alcohol will turn you either into a social butterfly or a dancer. My cousin tried to loosen up both my brother and me some years ago at a disco with alcohol and it didn't work! Alcohol is not a magic tonic to relieve shyness. Link to comment
hers Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 i used to be like this. then one day i was at a wedding and i said "god damm it, i'm going to dance b/c dancing is fun" (i used to love dancing in high school and then i got really embarrassed to do it all the sudden and didn't do it for years). i got up and did it, danced badly, and I didn't care. i had a blast!! one thing you can try is asking yourself how many ofthose people will you ever see again? and it's fun to make a fool out of yourself sometimes b/c you don't have to take yourself so seriously.

ghost69 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 ^^^that's seriously what you have to do. did you jump into a pool the first time and swim like you were in the olympics? i doubt it. even the person dancing awkward is having fun out there. just go out there. nobody is going to bite.
