Attributional Style And Socializing
The concepts in this article aren’t totally new. I had more briefly mentioned them already on the site, in the article about Cognitive Distortions. I decided to explain the ideas a bit more and give them their own space.

Form to report typos
I put together a little form that will allow readers to easily report any typos they find on the site. I do my best to triple-check everything I write, but despite all that I find it’s all too easy to be blind to my own mistakes while proofreading. Hopefully this will help catch some of the errors.
Much appreciation in advance for anyone who takes the time to help out in this way.

Revisions to two articles on facing your fears
I made some revisions to two articles on facing your social fears:
Why It’s Essential To Face Your Social Fears
This one I generally re-worded to make it easier to read. More importantly, I added a section explaining how the principles of gradual exposure often can’t be applied to social fears in a clean, ‘textbook’ way.
How To Face Your Bigger Social Fears Gradually
This one is mostly the same, though I added a section at the beginning emphasizing the importance of addressing any maladaptive thinking you have towards your social fears before you try facing them. If you don’t, you’ll tend to interpret the exposures in a way that can end up making you feel even more anxious and discouraged.
