Hi Deilla,

Yes, I can relate in my own way, as I suffer from very formidable social anxiety.

In a situation such as yours, when needing a haircut, I feel I can't let my self down anymore and I just go. Yes, the discomfort might be quite acute, but it wont last. And after you get your hair cut you can say 'great, I did it'.

So, for me, the motivation is generated by a sense of being able to endure the discomfort, and not wanting to give in to my maladaptions all the time.

You can do it Deilla, you'll feel better about yourself afterwards.
