Every form of anxiety comes from needing something external—validation, approval, acceptance.

What's the spiritual reason behind social anxiety? When you go out into the world and you feel anxious and you feel stress and it's hard for you to be around people, what does that mean? Whenever we need someone to like us, whenever we are looking for validation, whenever we are looking around the room and seeing who's looking at us, can they see my blemishes? Can they see this horrible thing I did recently? Whenever we start having those thoughts, it's because we are in the mode of receiving, of taking from others. All forms of fear and anxiety come from I need something from you. So transform that need. Transform need to wholeness. Connect to the vibration of certainty and that you are enough, exactly the way you are and enter each room not thinking what you need from the people, but what value you can give. Here's a mantra for you. As I enter the world, I need nothing, yet desire everything. I am whole and complete the way I am and I am here to give energy to the world.
