Objectives:
- Describe the positive role anxiety can play in our lives in helping us to process social information and organize ourselves in time and space
- Explain how too little or too much anxiety can disable our ability to process information
- Explore strategies for building self-confidence in people who lack relationships, including short, repeated practice, having concrete things to do, and making a contribution to others
