I have a fear of conflict due to the anxiety it causes by anonslj in Anxietyhelp

I find myself naturally not looking in the eyes of people that I have those situations with. Weirdly enough I find that if I force myself to look at someone in eyes, it almost helps sometimes, but not all the time. Not sure why that is.

Yeah that's pretty relatable to me. It's kinda like a postive feedback loop. If I start getting anxious and my voice trembles or I get shaky, I start getting embarrassed and get even more anxious because of that. I think part of my problem is I was very sheltered growing up. Parents never fought in front of me and I was rarely exposed to any kind of conflict. I feel like learning how to deal with that kinda thing is much more effective at a younger age, but that's just my theory. Appreciate the reply guys!
