Social phobia (社交恐惧症) seems to have been common these days. Many young people describe themselves as having “social phobia”. These people prefer not to go out much, and it’s hard for them to make friends.
In fact, this is a reaction (反应) to certain situations. US researcher Ty Tashiro wrote a book that explains that some people don’t “read” social situations correctly, so they end up feeling uncomfortable. For example, they start to act embarrassedly (尴尬地). Because of this, they gradually prefer to stay in instead of going out to meet new people.
And some people may have social anxiety disorder (社交焦虑症) and it is much more serious. People with social anxiety disorder want to go out and communicate with people, but they are so afraid of doing it that they cannot leave their homes. Their brains simply won’t allow them to communicate with others in a normal way.
Luckily, social anxiety disorder can be treated. Some people simply use self-help books to help them get more control over their minds. Those who have more serious cases of social anxiety disorder can take medicine.
There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.
