"I'm excited about being late for work!"

I realised this for myself years ago, and now coach myself into feeling excited about things when I feel anxious. It helps to imagine the benefit of a future state where the anxiety has passed.

the paper also mentions that "replacing" an emotion in general is better strategy than trying to suppress it. that sounds interesting and I'm definitely gonna try that

Henrik Rysjö :
Question: Do the audience hear them say it or do they only say it to themselves?

my mum's a child psychologist and i was riddled with anxiety as a teen to an extreme level to the level of hospitalisation, she told me to repeat to myself i was excited instead and 1/2

Eugene :
Unfortunate corollary: when I was dealing with anxiety I would get panic attacks when excited because I’d confuse the two. After therapy, realising when I was excited was like flipping a switch

Brandon Bezos :
ok hear me out tho: I really hate excitement too. Being thrilled is awful, so it's not much better

I pretend I've watched my team score a goal and do a goal celebration before job interviews. Have got every job I've interviewed for since doing this!

In German, the word "aufgeregt" can mean both anxious and excited

Marie Noël Yläoutinen :
I a 100 percent taught myself to switch on ”excited” instead of ”stage fright” when I was a kid! I realized ”it was the same energy just channeled elsewhere”.

It’s an unusual methodology s singing releases endorphins, serotonin and dopamine

I theorise that this really only works on neurotypicals

This is solidly in the category I call: "interesting psychology result, does it replicate?"

Claire the Celebrant :
Saying you’re excited also signals to the audience that you’re confident in your ability to perform- giving the audience expectation on how to judge (this person is probably good). Win-win

Slaithstone :
What if you’re anxious, because you can’t sing…? No amount of telling yourself and other people that you’re excited is going to work…

my body does this automatically the other way around! excited about something? nah you're shitting yourself now
2024-07-25 23:34:42

homo :
do they have to say "I'm excited"/"I'm anxious" aloud so the people rating them hear it? that could impact the rating system just as much as it impacts the participant

Zibule Bifura :
I wonder if every feeling has a positive version and a negative version. Like... I'm not depressed I'm meditative or contemplative ... I'm not annoyed I'm amused... etc

and how do they feel themselves after the event?

Mary Kate :
When I was a kid I had severe anxiety but I didn’t know what that was so I just convinced myself I must be excited about my birthday or Christmas when I felt like that

Selongworth99 UK :
I love the feeling of anxiety (excitement) & have spent my life searching it out. Abseiling and lively horses are the best! Oh and job interviews

Thank you for explaining the study rather than just stating it as fact

user5870230528758 :
Do they actually trick their own brains though? Or do they just gaslight their audience into thinking that? If this is all based on the audience reviews

Looks like I was born to be forever excited

hueyhueyhueyhuey :
Does the study say anything about the sentiment of the participants? I’m curious if they feel more positive about the experience when they say they’re excited?

thefringeofdoom :
How did they mark it? Is it that they sang better or the listeners preferred the excited folk and the energy?

KittehBit :
Who rates the singing? The audience? Maybe they just like it better if/because the person singing announces that they are excited?

fishnolle :
Thx for this 🙏 Also; Smiling! Smiling helps reduce stress-induced hormones in the bloodstream and enhances positive emotions. Great tool to "trick" yourself, and could signal to other persons that you are fine and relaxed and creating a less tension situation 💜

One of my lecturers used to ask ppl if they were excited before exams bc of this 😅

CharnelKing1 :
who is scoring the singing and how? did the scorer hear the person declared if they were excited? I.e. was this blinded?

Laura :
I do quite a bit of public speaking and I always reframe my anxiety/nerves as “excitement” because the physical feelings are the same. It totally works!!!

I’m a dancer and we use this strat when we perform - I’m not nervous I’m excited!! 😁😅

I always try that before giving talks at conferences. But I just can’t trick my brain into believe that I give a single eff about being there. Very annoying to get nervous nonetheless

lieuwestra :
is it tricking or are you just choosing how to interpret your feelings?

I tell people with anxiety attacks to imagine a roller coaster fun ride to match their feelings for decades in therapy. Often works. So I confirm.

Dreamless :
haven't been successful with this yet, even if I tell myself and others that I'm 'excited' I am still nervous and I still feel nervous and my hand still shake 🙃
