PHILOSOPHY - how The Stoics conquered Social Anxiety

Описание: In this video I’m talking about the ancient concept called Dysopia which was their word for social anxiety.

The term refers to an excess of shame. The person suffering from dysopia has a hard time knowing how to act and behave because they are too influenced by others opinions and feel a great sense of shame. This shame drains them of their willpower and agency.

Plutarch, The Roman Philosopher, borrowed this term from the Stoics and other Ancient Greek Philosophers.
