WHY DO WE SOMETIMES FEEL ATTACKED IN OUR COMPETENCE AND STATUS BY OUR COLLEAGUES, EMPLOYEES OR SUPERIORS?

WHY CAN TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE FEEL LIKE SUCH HARD WORK - WHETHER IT’S AT A NETWORKING EVENT, PUBLIC PRESENTATION, OR JUST MEETING SOMEONE IN THE ELEVATOR?

COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL INTERACTION CAN OFTEN FEEL LIKE A CHALLENGE. WITH THE EVER-GROWING NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES, DEMANDS AND EXPECTATIONS WE FEEL PLACED UPON US BY OUR TIMES, WE CAN END UP PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE ON OURSELVES. WE MIGHT FIND OURSELVES FEELING TRAPPED, CHALLENGED OR EVEN THREATENED IN EVERYDAY SITUATIONS, WHETHER THEY ARE OF A PRIVATE OR PROFESSIONAL NATURE.
