Steps Gives You Daily Tasks to Help You Deal With Social Anxiety
iOS: Social anxiety can be debilitating, and even if you don’t combat it completely, you probably run into some symptoms from time to time . If you’re having trouble getting out of your comfort zone, Steps is a free app that helps you complete one task at a time.
The app presents you with a series of challenges in several different categories, such as “Stop worrying about what others think” and “Try something new.” Choose a target and you will receive a task. Some are as simple as saying good morning to three people. Others may take a little more courage and time, such as asking a colleague to take a walk.
At Product Hunt, app co-founder Fabian Elchert explained:
Unfortunately, social anxiety is a highly underestimated mental health problem that is too rarely addressed in society, resulting in a lack of awareness. But even those who are aware of their mental health problems can find it difficult to get treatment.
To overcome your fear, you do what you fear, a well-known therapeutic technique called exposure therapy. And it is proven to be the most effective way to overcome social anxiety.
The app offers you a variety of tasks in specially selected sets, such as building friendships and handling rejections.
The app is currently only available for iOS, but iDareTo is a similar app for Android. Unfortunately, iDareTo is not free and will cost $ 3.99. However, like Steps, it gives you interactive step-by-step tasks to complete certain tasks like chatting with strangers, attending parties, etc. You can check out iDareTo here for Android .
