It can be very uncomfortable in that situation. But don’t be afraid to let people know how you feel, maybe speak to your teacher. Someone like that can even help in those situations:)
Sad thing is. No one is really this nice about people with social anxiety. I’m always picked on and called “the weird quiet one with the big ears.” I really wish some were this nice.
burn1ng_lux I’m so lucky I have friends and classmates that at least treat me “normally” in my school I often just avoid eye contact and confrontation with people
I have social anxiety, I go to high school and I have a lot of difficulty at school. I don't have any friends, and everyone thinks I hate talking. I hate my social anxiety :(
I can relate to that, it's really hard for me. It ruins how I make friends, I'm too nervous to talk to people because I'm scared if I'll mess up something and they'll avoid me. I've never had one friend who stayed when I needed them. And I'm just scared. I hope your anxiety gets better. ❤️
This is so me. Im called the "quiet one" in the class, and I hate being that but, Im just scared to try. This video helped me, even a bit to have more confidence.
Every single day my parents tell me that I have zero self confidence and that I am very weak and that I can't face anything and can't interact with people. Now my mom doesn't even like to go out with me because whenever she goes out with me I am too shy to walk or talk or have a basic conversation. Honestly sometimes I don't blame them and I feel like I'm a big problem in their life
Hey friend just try to be open gradually and after some time you will find that u are also like other people.i had gone through it and now i feel so comfortable in social situations.👍👍👍
Mays K my parents call me worse but my grandmother was physically abusive, that’s why I stand up to my parents who put me on the streets a lot and if they hit me is on I’m 13 bye and a boy but ion care I can’t control it
I've had Social Anxiety all my ife and have only just come across this video. I often find myself in situations where I just cant speak. I never look forward to social gatherings. My mind just goes totaly blank and I want to leave that situation very quickly. Wish I knew what to say Probably my karma Also in family situations Dont know why I bothered to get married and become a parent. Not good for a person like me
Letrin Scootercycle I totally understand Letrin. I often find myself at a loss of what to say. It just takes meeting those people that make you feel comfortable. Once you feel comfortable it should feel easier to find the words. I hope
I get told “Your so quiet” at school a lot of the times once I was in the girls bathroom at break with my best friends 2 other girls came in and heard me talk they were like “Woahhh she just talked! Can you talk again?” I do talk at school just not that much but they act like I’ve never said a word in my life..
Yeah.. That's awful. When you are a quiet person and you finally have something to say, everybody starts staring at you.. And that makes you feel even more insecure and uncomfortable than normally.. Why can't people understand that? They should be more tactful. 🤷🏽♀️😐
Oh god.. I've suffered from this for years.. this video describes social anxiety very well. I remember myself lose the ability to speak and being constantly terrorized by social interactions.. good job
Thank you Elyz, that means a lot, it’s something that still gets to me, but just try to let people in and help you. It just takes that person you feel comfortable with to speak hopefully:) but even then there’s gonna be those times and situations where it’s hard. Just don’t let it define you
@@NicholasHolmesFilm im glad my comment means a lot to you. Your video is very meaningful. The most important thing is to love ourselves, and accept what we are despite our imperfections. Even if its hard, its worth it, because we deserve to be happy with people like everyone else. Stay strong
I’m one of the loud people who will say stuff out loud not caring what everyone else thinks of it. We know you guys are socially awkward but if we leave you alone, the silence is awkward and when we try to talk to you, you don’t talk and we ask why 🙄
@@santimeek5063 I know that maybe they think that we are not nice but we are different people that someone reacts in a rude way does not mean that everyone is like that, I in my case I have tried to open up more but it is still in my opinion an unanswered question. There are also many factors that we don't talk about so much, you don't even know if that person went through or is going through a delicate situation and that kind of questions can become somewhat imprudent.
*It's too hard to buy on store if your alone you look like people on their judging you by their appearance, and btw I've been suffering on social anxiety for 1 year. 😔*
I have social anxiety for 5-6years. I find it extremely hard to approach people,I lack trust in everyone and i rarely talk to my high school classmates(like once 2-3 weeks). I've tried psychotherapy, but it's obvious it didnt work.I tried medication-didnt work. I dont have problems talking to my family but its the society... Everytime i think people hate me extremely much for no fucking reason and see me as a weird person, and they laughing at me which its fucking true. I have very few friends,my only best friend being my cousin. And here i am, 18 years old about to graduate High School. When i think about going to university i can only think about 4-6 more years of mental and social trauma. However, the most important thing,whatever others say about you-just be yourself,fuck the others opinion.Only YOU have the right to judge yourself,not them! God bless!
I’m starting to have social anxiety... I should’ve been more grateful for being able to talk to people willingly or without having to worry about what I say or do. Before I used to be able to be in a random crowd and easily talk to people. Now i just walk up and don’t know what to say or how to respond. What makes it worse is that I’m fully aware of how I act and I hate that I have to worry and think about what I’m going to say or do next... And it’s just scary
I talk too much I keep making jokes that end up not being funny I can't uphold a normal conversation for love nor money It really drives me up the wall Needless to say i have no friends I keep overtalking about myself and saying stuff that dead ends conversations it keeps happening, i don't know what i keep saying but it keeps happening :/
I only talk to people I know and the same thing happens to me. I just wish someone would shoot me every time I say something stupid. I don't even hang around true friends, just people that I can feel decently calm around. I know that feeling.
Halil güneş Ive only heard of cognitive behaviuoral therapy, maybe its the same thing. It is very effective, and in fact the only way to permenently fix social anxiety disorder. Mental illness cannot go away on its own, or even go away with enough exposure/ positove thoughts. I should be getting it soon, so thats good. If you think you have this, I recommened getting CBT too.
Halil güneş Well, it depends. Drugs can help short term, but they come with other side effects that definitley arent wanted and dont permanentaly fix social anxiety. Ask your doctor because I think it depends on the person, but I know for sure that without the therapy you cant get much better.
@@halotan4274 yes it is works very much.highly recommended to those who have anxiety and depression.but it is a continuos process.you should follow the instructions of the doctor.
I relate to this so much. In my art class this kid complemented me on an art project I was making and I just sat there silently not knowing what I should say. God I felt like I was being rude 😭
I remember having to do a presentation in front of the class and I kept stuttering and forgetting what I was going to say because I was so terrified my mind would just go blank. It's scary.😔
ive had social anxiety for awhile now. although i can normally talk to friends, its hard to talk to other people i dont know very well. the voice in my head telling me theyre judging me or they hate me or they think im weird. after i say something i immediately regret saying it cause i think people think im weird for saying it. i got made fun of for being quiet in 8th grade. i never know what to say.. if i dont know the person i dont know what to relate to with them. i lost all my friends anyways. i only have my bf who understands why i am the way i am. i just wish i didnt hbe social anxiety, so i could make jokes and be social and be proactive in class. i also cant ever focus in class so when the teacher calls on me i never know the answer and im too scared of what people are gonna think if i say the wrong thing. well if you read this congrats you made it this far -_-
huh!!!! i can feel u bro.....i exactly faced the same....i didnt enojyed my school life cozz of this shit.. and now i think i will face the same in college.....im good in study but never anwered question put by teacher in class, coz a always got nervous...i dont have frnds...my life is just a boring shit nthng else...😫😫😫
@@aktechnical-help4728 Hey, I really hope that you get/feel better in college, never lose hope, believe in yourself, you're much more than who you think you are, friends will come and pass by in life, have a good day. :)
Don't hate yourself, what people think about you isn't who you are, it's who you fear to become. If you think that's who you are. Go somewhere private and talk to yourself about your positive feelings and what you want to do and be confident about, and if it makes you happy, that is who you are.
i don't self diagnose but i feel represented by this. i'm a person who gives really short answers to people I don't really know etc - or i over explain myself in fear of sounding dumb
I get how this guy feels. Sometimes when I'm in a study hall, I really want to talk with other people, but I'm afraid I'll sound or look weird when I talk to them. I also *hate* being embarrassed, especially in front of other people.
It was my first day at work. I was so nervous it was showing on my face. People caught that nervousness n started laughing and making remarks at me. Idk wat to do about it anymore, I'm far beyond the point of no return. I fear even facing someone new.
One boy in my class would always ask me “why are you so quiet” and I would usually just shrug my shoulders and say “I don’t know I just am” but I have a whole story on why I don’t speak and also I feel like nobody cares about me they treat me so differently just because I’m not like the others, talking all the time.
@@jiminieluv. Aw, I'm happy to hear that you starting to see a little change. I do wanna tell you that you can definitely get set free from it 100% The Answer to it is JESUS CHRIST. By experience, I went through alot of Depression, Social Anxiety, And Even Suicidal Thoughts for 16 years. Due to that i was failing high school for 3 years in freshmen year.. and i was tired of it so i went to family and friends to seek help..But nobody believed me, They would claim i was making stuff up. Or that i was looking for attention. 🤦🏾♀️ Which made it alot worse..To the point where i was losing hope..But then i felt the urge to Pray..Took a while because i kept doubting if he would answer my prayers..So i would always hesitate..But than i decided to truly cry out to GOD..And that's exactly what i did..I told GOD literally crying uncontrollably..To please take the pain away, I told him everything that i was going through..and how i felt..Just pouring my heart out to GOD.. And i'm telling you...From that point forward, Most likely in a week or month my life has never been the same since..I felt like a whole different person. Felt Free..I slowly started to see big changes in my life..And how i felt all of a sudden Confident in who i was... At the time i didn't know that it was because of GOD, I kinda just brushed it off and lived my life..But I'm telling you..it took a whole relationship/Break up to wake me up.. and realize that GOD was the one who set me free. And ever since I've dedicated my whole Life TO JESUS!! Due to what he has done for me. Definitely a life journey..And i wanna tell you JESUS CHRIST loves you soo much!!! 💖❤️ He's waiting for you to call out to him. He wants to Set you free.. It's truly nothing but demons speaking to your mind, To pull you down. And By the BLOOD of JESUS All Demons Flee by the POWER of his HOLY name. I Hope This Gives you hope, It hurts seeing others suffer. Reminds me of the old me..before JESUS set me free.. Truly I'm a living testimony.
Our group have presentation next week and we all were so worried about what kind of video should we include in our slides and then somehow this video came infront of us. Thank youu for dropping that amazing video❤
I have severe social anxiety and panic disorder and every time I go to school I have panic attacks and end up getting physically sick and vomit. It stops me from going to class and interacting with people. And since I’m a freshman in high school coming from a middle school of 100 kids and a high school of 3500 it’s a huge change and it stresses me out so much. I started going to therapy though and I also started trying to meditate since that’s what my therapist told me helps. This is the beginning of my social anxiety and I know it’s gonna take a very long time to even try and get a little control over my social anxiety but I know that it’s at least somewhat attainable. Anyways I just wanted to vent
Don't meditate..That stuff isn't going to change it for the long run...The answer to your social anxiety and panic attacks is, JESUS CHRIST. The reason i say this is because i personally have been going through it myself..For 16 years..It was really bad, Not to mention i had depression at that. I was also very very suicidal due to it..And in reality it's truly nothing but Demons putting you down. Call out to GOD to take the pain away, And to help you overcome it..Trust me when i say..JESUS is truly the answer to overcome this for a lifetime. I never have felt so free in my life. And due to that i dedicated my life to GOD forever. Best decision i have ever made. JESUS understands exactly what you're going through. Truly.
@@Leena_Here I know and I’ve actually been a Christian all my life and even went to a Christian elementary and middle school, so this is the first school that I’m going to that isn’t a Christian school which is obviously not a bad thing. I have been praying too and trying to talk to God to help me through this and now I just went to school today and I was able to go to all of my school periods without getting sick at all! I hope this continues even with or without the medication I am on. Thank you for reading my story and I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone in this hard time of my life since I’m only 14. I can relate to your story so much and it makes me feel so much better and much more confident in myself that I will get through this, even if it does take a long time. Thank you for responding! I really appreciate :)
@@juliarosee Ooh Wow!!! That's definitely GOD answering your prayers and working in your life. He loves you soo much!! ❤️ You will get through this. Deuteronomy 31:6 (Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, Neither be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, He it is that does go with You; he will not fail You, Neither Leave You.) When i got set free from social anxiety, I slowly started seeing change as well. Definitely stay in prayer, Read the word of GOD And keep your eyes fixed on JESUS. The Enemy may try to attack you..To pull you down. And go on the wrong path.. But the devil has no power over JESUS. 💖❤️ Proverbs 3:5-6 (Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.) Everything happens for a reason, And I'm happy to hear that you're doing better!! All Glory be to GOD!! May God bless you.💖
We often forget about how much our faces and body language can express. If you can’t find the words, a smile or a hand gesture can go a long way. That’s how I survived school for a very long time, people would talk to me and I’d either smile and nod or shake my head and they grew accustomed to only asking me things that I could say yes or no to. Other times I’d use my hands or shrug. Smiling rlly helps make you look more friendly too, and I know this for a fact from experience. Ofc this doesn’t work because I still end up running away from most social stuff and I know sometimes it makes it rlly hard to even look at the other person but this non-verbal way of interacting rlly helped me and it might just help you too.
Everyone here, I know u can relate, or partly relate. I don't know you. But u came to watch this video and u are experiencing this feeling and I'm so sorry about that. Let me tell you that you've got this. Chin up, head high. When your brain starts talking and your heart starts pounding, don't let it stop you from loving yourself. You're so special- so embrace every aspect of u and live knowing that you take an irreplaceable place in this world. You've got this, and I love you
I related to this short film on an undescribable level. I'm always deemed as the "quiet kid" or the kid who never talks. I'm comfortable around a couple people and that's it, but sometimes I still get nervous asking to hang out with them. It sucks because they see me typing and pressure me to "just send the message." They probably think I'm a just slow typer, but in reality my main concern is messaging them the wrong thing, resulting in them hating me. I'll be on sports teams for months, even years, and never make a single friend. I dread meeting other people and going to family get-togethers. Nothing bothers me more then when people say "stop being shy" or "just talk." It's not shyness, it's anxiety. I've started getting therapy to help with my social anxiety, so I really hope I can work to improve my social skills. I don't want my anxiety to impact what I'll be able to do later in life.
I've recently got sosial anxiety from isolating myself and not talking to my family during the lockdown and when we started going back to school I could barely talk to anybody,at lunch i sit with a huge group of people but I feel so out of place while everybody is talking to one another and I'm just there smiling and listening.When anybody wants to talk to me I stutter or fail at trying to construct a sentence,I feel like a background friend
There are millions of people out there in the world right now who are in the same situation as me. I hope you are all well. Even though we are all in a much worse situation I I hope we all get out of this situation one day. (sorry for bad english)
I find this video to be so relatable, I suffer from social anxiety too. I have a hard time getting along with people, making friends, making conversation face to face and speaking in front of an audience of people. Some people think I'm anti social or just being rude because I talk less and don't interact much and some people think I'm messed up in my head because of my awkward behavior and some people at college give me wired looks and sometimes talk about me behind my back. I feel more anxious at college because that's where I spend most of my time and that's where things happen, at other places I only get anxious while interacting with people who I don't know. A few times I had girls at college hitting on me and people trying to be friends with me and I tend to mess things up with my wired body language and extremely nervous tone of voice and I regret it and keep thinking about it a lot of times. I spend most of my time at college trying to stay calm and sometimes I cry. I keep worrying about getting teased at, getting into a conversation and making it awkward and failing college because most of the work involved doing presentations. I had only one close friend that understands me and tries to support me, he gave me a few tips to help me improve my condition which is: not having any social expectations. keeping in mind that its not necessary to get along with everyone I meet and make an impression wherever I go. Stop thinking about college or certain memories when I'm at home and enjoy the comfort of my home. think that I'm better than everyone and nobody means anything to me. After listening to his advice I do feel less anxious at college but I still feel anxious talking to people and being in certain social situations.
This brought me back to when I spoke for the first time in high school and people started to say ”omg, she can talk”. I now at 19 years old work in costumer service and still have anxiety but I pray within me to calm me down. It would be nice if people we're that nice to comprehend our situation.
I'm 18 I do nothing for living, I have extreme social anxiety , I haven't gone outside for months, I don't know what to do , but I wish and hope everyone to get a normal happy life with no social anxiety depression and etc .
@This Is yup, it’s hard but not impossible. Try to work within your emotions, I’m pretty sure you are capable of over coming it, we all pray for you 🙏🏼💙
Sometimes I think I have social anxiety. I hate going into public cause I get bad anxiety when I’m in public, I always fear that somebody’s gonna judge me for an action that I do.and I get really embarrassed in public for for reason, and if I think I look ugly but my mother forces me to go in the store I breakdown bc I really don’t want anybody to see me. But I’m sure that it’s probably not social anxiety because I’m only 11 and I’m probably just to young to be cable of having social anxiety
Really powerful bought me to tears. I am 38 now and this has plagued me my entire life. Thank goodness people are more informed about my mental difficulties these days. Think before you judge and try to open your mind tand understand.
If you're still going through this..I want to tell you my life changed when i was praying and crying out to GOD to help me and to take all the pain, depression, Social anxiety, and insecurities away! JESUS CHRIST knows exactly what you're going through. He is real and is willing to set you free if you let him. I'm telling you.. It's nothing but HIS LOVE.. feels like freedom. My life has never been the same since. (There is HOPE)
I'm glad my friends are understanding about my social anxiety, but when it's people I don't know, they think I'm weird, they talk about me and think that I can't hear them when I can, I'm always silent when people try to talk to me because I can't think of the right thing to say and I'm scared, so I just give up, I've only ever been out with my friends once and that was terrifying, my heart beats fast and I can't think straight, I hate the fact that I'm uncomfortable to talk or even have emotions around others, it's nice to know I'm not the only one facing this even if I personally don't know anyone with the same issues, thank you for this, It made me cry, but in a good way
I never talked much until now. But with a side of autism, I still have social anxiety, because when I was younger, I was bullied at school. No not just your usual “NERD!” Like…I got beat up on the daily. (I was like 7) over time I was just terrified of speaking talking to anyone in any way. Even now even just ordering food at a drive through or at a restaurant, gives me a sense of impending doom or just like next level nervousness.
For me I can speak to people but I can't be myself around anyone and I feel awkward and uncomfortable around people and don't know how to act even around my own family and its really draining because in my head I can be confident and have fluent conversations but irl I can't and I hate being known as shy and quiet because thats not who I really am its just the mask I hide behind because I'm scared of what people think of me and no matter how hard I try to get past the overthinking and do things out of my comfort zone I can never seem to do it
My social anxiety was caused from a traumatic experience from getting bullied mentally I’ve never spoke many words until it started. I was 8 when it started and I was 10 when it stopped I have mood swings all the time. I’m mentally dented my mental health and my parents didn’t understand what I was going through. They always told me to brush it off but I really couldn’t. I also had a teacher that would always shame me for not doing something right and I remember always breaking down at home and at class and I remember never paying attention in class because I was always worried about something. I am Currently 12.
I want everyone to know that there is a cure for social anxiety. Look for a therapist who SPECIALIZES SPECIFICALLY in social anxiety. There is a light at the end of the tunnel....
When I was with my clasmates/friends I always put on a face smile and act dum af or super happy and say dumt stuff that I will regret after. I did not know why i did so But I now think that I was and still am not comfortuble in the situation. Now I am just quiet because I don’t have the energi to hold up a smile and be with people.
since i’m back in school, i’m trying to find people who relate. it’s the worst for doing presentations or reading in class or being called on to answer
That's not how it works 😅 yes exposure is good but with therapy. Because you might be able to change how you act on the outside but it's a bit harder to change your own thoughts on the inside
I've 'learnt' some social mannerisms from observing others but I still feel anxious inside, like, "did I say this right? What if they think I'm being rude?! They're probably judging me already" so how you act can be different to how you feel and if you act "fine" but are anxious inside then the acting doesn't automatically"cure" the anxiety. I think therapy (especially CBT) is about helping you to look at the problems from a different perspective (and learn coping mechanisms)
Basically what I'm saying is that exposing yourself to a feared social situation might be able to help with how to act on the outside, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue causing the anxiety
Sometimes you gotta put yourself in the most uncomfortable situations to really face your fears of social anxiety, that’s the sad truth but it works. Talk therapy and exercise also work well!
I’ve had social anxiety since I was in my younger years of primary school (primary 2-3 when I was bullied by a couple older kids) I thought I escaped it when I switched schools (p4) but it the voice in the back of my head never left it just grew louder over time. I’m now in my first year of academy and it’s becoming unbearable but it’s just too hard to tell anyone, how do I escape this??
@@Chloe-o1h well I mean I was going to tell u to go see a therapist and confide to someone, but then I realized that involved talking. So maybe u could try to tell me more about ur anxiety. Idk, I'm sorry if this seems awkward. I also suffer from social anxiety, so that's why I thought I can help u. And tbh, I don't really know how to start this conversation, so once again I'm sorry if this is really awkward.
I didn't go outside for almost 9 months because of my social phobia and depressions..... I have suicide thoughts and I don't think I can make it any longer
its amazing how accurate this video is, well done guys thanx for making people understand a bit of how we feel especially thanx to you mr Cody Banks :D
I hardly make friends, because people thinks I just don't like to talk while I'm to scared to start a conversation. When my only friend is absent I'm sitting alone all day without talking to somebody. They are accepting me but I feel like they hate me or judging me for every word I say. It's sad especially when I really want to talk to others and I don't want to feel lonely. My social anxiety isn't that bad cause I'm not that afraid to talk to people with different age than me and I'm able to ask somebody about something but with every other day it gets worse. But I hope it gets better. Take care everyone
My parents don't believe me when I say I have social anxiety. They say that I'm just trying to look cute or trying to get attention when attention is the least that I want especially when passing a paper to the cashier so that I don't have to speak
Oh my...I know exactly how you feel. I went through the same exact thing. I want to tell you. People may never understand our thoughts or feelings unless they have went through it themselves..But..i do know one person who will always understand you..No matter what...and that is JESUS CHRIST! I don't know if you believe in GOD but...He's the one who set me free from Social anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, And attempts...I'm telling you HE is soo soo REAL...Once i cried out to him asking for him to "Please take the Pain away"..My life has never been the same since..Things slowly started to change..And i'm telling you..I never EVER have felt soo FREE in my ENTIRE life..I'm literally a living testimony. To confirm that the LOVE OF GOD is REAL!! He loves you!! And he is there is rescue you from this!! All it takes is to Cry out to him.. (There is HOPE)
Everyone with social anxiety who watches this knows that alcohol helps ALOT. You may asume that people being friendly is the thing that makes you comfortable but 9/10 times its alcohol. Atleast for me. Nice thing about this video is that it never states if its the alcohol or the company that makes you able to interract. Thumps up.
It would be nice if it worked just that fast...one bit of courage to turn that corner, meet up with people and it's done. You're over the social anxiety. It's not like that at all, with me. First I fight myself so that I agree to go to a work party. Then I fight myself to actually get in the fricken car. Then to get out of the car and walk my ass into the restaurant. Then how do I find my group, where do I sit, how do I order my food, what should I say to keep a conversation going? Are they thinking that I'm weird because I'm fumbling around and looking around a lot. Are the people at the other tables laughing at me, thinking I'm weird, ugly, dressed stupid. I hear laughing and I have to look in that direction. If they look in my general direction, I "know" they're laughing at me. Are my coworkers thinking that I'm eating weird. It's never ending. It goes on and on and on. And a half hour dinner, for me, feels like hours. And when I go home, it's still not over. My mind goes over and over every second of that 30 minute dinner. What happened, what should I have done, why was I so stupid not to do this instead. And I'll beat myself up the entire night and into the next day. So, you're short film, is nice, a good representation of this shit. But the end is just a fantasy. I'm sorry, I know you're just a kid. But I had to vent. Thanks for a good video. Luck.
What I hate is when people say ‘Why don’t you speak?’ ‘You are shy but will have to be more confident when you get a job, humans are for talking’ I remember my case manger said that to me and that made me upset. On Monday me and my parents went to my case manger to talk about something that was making me upset in one class, and I hated it when ever my parents would mainion when I’m not speaking when the he asked a question or if I didn’t talk much would be like ‘she doesn’t talk much, you have to talk’ and yea... Today I was in studie class, I was stuck on some work I didn’t understand, and I never ask for help because I have social anxiety, plus I was really upset and a lot of negative thoughts went through my head..
OOh wow, I understand how you may have felt, I use to go through the same thing being afraid to ask for help..And due to it..I failed three times in High School during freshman year. I don't know if you believe in GOD or the afterlife..But The negative thoughts..I'm telling you is truly just demons doing everything to pull you down to make you kill yourself..Because YOU have a big purpose in life that GOD has planned for you..And Satan and his demons will do anything to Stop that. The answer to your social anxiety and panic attacks is, JESUS CHRIST. The reason i say this is because i personally have been going through it myself..For 16 years..It was really bad, Not to mention i had depression at that. I was also very very suicidal due to it..And in reality it's truly nothing but Demons putting you down. Call out to GOD to take the pain away, And to help you overcome it..Trust me when i say..JESUS is truly the answer to overcome this for a lifetime. I never have felt so free in my life. And due to that i dedicated my life to GOD forever. Best decision i have ever made. JESUS understands exactly what you're going through. Truly. HE LOVES YOU Sooo MUCH!!
its the worst because I force myself to speak even tho im super awkward (btw im in middle school) because I know that if I don't and just stay quite like I want to it will get worse. but I have depression aswell so its so tiring making myself fake laugh everyday and not feeling like I have 'real" friends just because im not my true self. I am also worried that ill loose my old friends I made before I developed my anxiety and I really don't want to because they are the best people I have ever met in my life but I just don't have the courage to call or text them or hangout. And the worse part is it gets worse every year... thank god im getting medication in a few days so at least I can have some hope in not loosing the rest of myself and my life.
It’s so bad I hate going to places, I hate seeing people I know, I go literally tomato red when anyone talks to me especially in class. I can’t hold a conversation at all. I wanna talk and be bold but I can’t. It hurts :(
Social anxiety, disorder people can't understand, doctor can't cure. Believe is the biggest hope, being mentally strong is the only cure you can get rid of it easily. I got bullied a lot due to this phobia, people say lots of things and I couldn't do anything just turned my back. "Ignoring the problem is not the solution, running away ain't a freedom". Try to face it rather than avoiding it. Remember avoiding is persistent, facing it is just one time than there's your freedom. #justbelieveyoucan#worldwon'tchangeyouhavetoadapt#
I hate when people say “why don’t you speak” and I hate when the teacher calls on me when I’m not raising my hand or when they pic partners
Exactly, like I never raise my hand. Just thinking about getting it wrong makes my heart race
It can be very uncomfortable in that situation. But don’t be afraid to let people know how you feel, maybe speak to your teacher. Someone like that can even help in those situations:)
Right

Sad thing is. No one is really this nice about people with social anxiety. I’m always picked on and called “the weird quiet one with the big ears.” I really wish some were this nice.

The worst part is you have anxiety while trying to explain social anxiety
Omg so true, every single therapy session is hell
Very true. Stay strong

So true and you need a friend to get out of anxiety or heal your anxiety but since you have social anxiety the works get amplified.
How about explaining by a written paper
im crying, knowing im not facing this alone makes me feel so much better.

I have social anxiety, I go to high school and I have a lot of difficulty at school. I don't have any friends, and everyone thinks I hate talking. I hate my social anxiety :(
I can relate to that, it's really hard for me. It ruins how I make friends, I'm too nervous to talk to people because I'm scared if I'll mess up something and they'll avoid me. I've never had one friend who stayed when I needed them. And I'm just scared. I hope your anxiety gets better. ❤️

Every single day my parents tell me that I have zero self confidence and that I am very weak and that I can't face anything and can't interact with people. Now my mom doesn't even like to go out with me because whenever she goes out with me I am too shy to walk or talk or have a basic conversation. Honestly sometimes I don't blame them and I feel like I'm a big problem in their life

I've had Social Anxiety all my ife and have only just come across this video.
I often find myself in situations where I just cant speak.
I never look forward to social gatherings.
My mind just goes totaly blank and I want to leave that situation very quickly.
Wish I knew what to say
Probably my karma
Also in family situations
Dont know why I bothered to get married and become a parent.
Not good for a person like me

I get told “Your so quiet” at school a lot of the times once I was in the girls bathroom at break with my best friends 2 other girls came in and heard me talk they were like “Woahhh she just talked! Can you talk again?” I do talk at school just not that much but they act like I’ve never said a word in my life..
Yeah.. That's awful. When you are a quiet person and you finally have something to say, everybody starts staring at you.. And that makes you feel even more insecure and uncomfortable than normally.. Why can't people understand that? They should be more tactful. 🤷🏽♀️😐

😭 I'm not alone
I’m one of the loud people who will say stuff out loud not caring what everyone else thinks of it. We know you guys are socially awkward but if we leave you alone, the silence is awkward and when we try to talk to you, you don’t talk and we ask why 🙄
@@santimeek5063 I know that maybe they think that we are not nice but we are different people that someone reacts in a rude way does not mean that everyone is like that, I in my case I have tried to open up more but it is still in my opinion an unanswered question. There are also many factors that we don't talk about so much, you don't even know if that person went through or is going through a delicate situation and that kind of questions can become somewhat imprudent.

Same :-(
I have social anxiety for 5-6years.
I find it extremely hard to approach people,I lack trust in everyone and i rarely talk to my high school classmates(like once 2-3 weeks).
I've tried psychotherapy, but it's obvious it didnt work.I tried medication-didnt work.
I dont have problems talking to my family but its the society...
Everytime i think people hate me extremely much for no fucking reason and see me as a weird person, and they laughing at me which its fucking true.
I have very few friends,my only best friend being my cousin.
And here i am, 18 years old about to graduate High School.
When i think about going to university i can only think about 4-6 more years of mental and social trauma.
However, the most important thing,whatever others say about you-just be yourself,fuck the others opinion.Only YOU have the right to judge yourself,not them!
God bless!
I can relate to this soooo much:(((
I’m starting to have social anxiety...
I should’ve been more grateful for being able to talk to people willingly or without having to worry about what I say or do.
Before I used to be able to be in a random crowd and easily talk to people. Now i just walk up and don’t know what to say or how to respond. What makes it worse is that I’m fully aware of how I act and I hate that I have to worry and think about what I’m going to say or do next...
And it’s just scary
I talk too much
I keep making jokes that end up not being funny
I can't uphold a normal conversation for love nor money
It really drives me up the wall
Needless to say i have no friends
I keep overtalking about myself and saying stuff that dead ends conversations it keeps happening, i don't know what i keep saying but it keeps happening :/
Oh my god im FEELING this.
I only talk to people I know and the same thing happens to me. I just wish someone would shoot me every time I say something stupid. I don't even hang around true friends, just people that I can feel decently calm around. I know that feeling.
I would very much like to know what it feels like to have a conversation like a normal person without the fear of being judged
I have social anxiety and it changed my entire life.
Now I am at CBT (cohesive behavioural therapy).
I hope I will get better and
You too guys.
VIJAY freek what about CBT ? Does it work
Halil güneş Ive only heard of cognitive behaviuoral therapy, maybe its the same thing. It is very effective, and in fact the only way to permenently fix social anxiety disorder. Mental illness cannot go away on its own, or even go away with enough exposure/ positove thoughts. I should be getting it soon, so thats good. If you think you have this, I recommened getting CBT too.
Did you use drugs (SSRI) does it make you relaxer and more comfortable when you are with your friends? So do drugs help
Halil güneş Well, it depends. Drugs can help short term, but they come with other side effects that definitley arent wanted and dont permanentaly fix social anxiety. Ask your doctor because I think it depends on the person, but I know for sure that without the therapy you cant get much better.
@@halotan4274 yes it is works very much.highly recommended to those who have anxiety and depression.but it is a continuos process.you should follow the instructions of the doctor.

I relate to this so much. In my art class this kid complemented me on an art project I was making and I just sat there silently not knowing what I should say. God I felt like I was being rude 😭
When I went to school one day I had to talk in front of the whole class when it was my turn I just froze
I remember having to do a presentation in front of the class and I kept stuttering and forgetting what I was going to say because I was so terrified my mind would just go blank. It's scary.😔
ive had social anxiety for awhile now. although i can normally talk to friends, its hard to talk to other people i dont know very well. the voice in my head telling me theyre judging me or they hate me or they think im weird. after i say something i immediately regret saying it cause i think people think im weird for saying it. i got made fun of for being quiet in 8th grade. i never know what to say.. if i dont know the person i dont know what to relate to with them. i lost all my friends anyways. i only have my bf who understands why i am the way i am. i just wish i didnt hbe social anxiety, so i could make jokes and be social and be proactive in class. i also cant ever focus in class so when the teacher calls on me i never know the answer and im too scared of what people are gonna think if i say the wrong thing. well if you read this congrats you made it this far -_-

That stinks, You got this DUDE
Don't hate yourself man. Are you out of your mind!!
When you are with people, say in your mind one thing which is damn world, damn people.
Don't hate yourself, what people think about you isn't who you are, it's who you fear to become. If you think that's who you are. Go somewhere private and talk to yourself about your positive feelings and what you want to do and be confident about, and if it makes you happy, that is who you are.
Most would never think have social anxiety, im not shy, i have friends, i can be loud but theres another side of me...
Having social anxiety is the worst. I hope everyone struggling with it gets better. 🖤
I really wish people were this nice to people with social anxiety. Sadly,they are not.They just give up on you if you're not like them.
i don't self diagnose but i feel represented by this. i'm a person who gives really short answers to people I don't really know etc - or i over explain myself in fear of sounding dumb
I get how this guy feels. Sometimes when I'm in a study hall, I really want to talk with other people, but I'm afraid I'll sound or look weird when I talk to them. I also *hate* being embarrassed, especially in front of other people.
It was my first day at work. I was so nervous it was showing on my face. People caught that nervousness n started laughing and making remarks at me. Idk wat to do about it anymore, I'm far beyond the point of no return. I fear even facing someone new.

@@jiminieluv. Aw, I'm happy to hear that you starting to see a little change. I do wanna tell you that you can definitely get set free from it 100%
The Answer to it is JESUS CHRIST. By experience, I went through alot of Depression, Social Anxiety, And Even Suicidal Thoughts for 16 years. Due to that i was failing high school for 3 years in freshmen year.. and i was tired of it so i went to family and friends to seek help..But nobody believed me, They would claim i was making stuff up. Or that i was looking for attention. 🤦🏾♀️ Which made it alot worse..To the point where i was losing hope..But then i felt the urge to Pray..Took a while because i kept doubting if he would answer my prayers..So i would always hesitate..But than i decided to truly cry out to GOD..And that's exactly what i did..I told GOD literally crying uncontrollably..To please take the pain away, I told him everything that i was going through..and how i felt..Just pouring my heart out to GOD.. And i'm telling you...From that point forward, Most likely in a week or month my life has never been the same since..I felt like a whole different person. Felt Free..I slowly started to see big changes in my life..And how i felt all of a sudden Confident in who i was...
At the time i didn't know that it was because of GOD, I kinda just brushed it off and lived my life..But I'm telling you..it took a whole relationship/Break up to wake me up.. and realize that GOD was the one who set me free.
And ever since I've dedicated my whole Life TO JESUS!! Due to what he has done for me. Definitely a life journey..And i wanna tell you JESUS CHRIST loves you soo much!!! 💖❤️ He's waiting for you to call out to him. He wants to Set you free.. It's truly nothing but demons speaking to your mind, To pull you down. And By the BLOOD of JESUS All Demons Flee by the POWER of his HOLY name.
I Hope This Gives you hope, It hurts seeing others suffer. Reminds me of the old me..before JESUS set me free.. Truly I'm a living testimony.
People don’t even try to talk to me wish this was relatable 😿

Well I wish people were like that in my school, everyone is a bully just beacuse of my personality. Sucks
I have severe social anxiety and panic disorder and every time I go to school I have panic attacks and end up getting physically sick and vomit. It stops me from going to class and interacting with people. And since I’m a freshman in high school coming from a middle school of 100 kids and a high school of 3500 it’s a huge change and it stresses me out so much. I started going to therapy though and I also started trying to meditate since that’s what my therapist told me helps. This is the beginning of my social anxiety and I know it’s gonna take a very long time to even try and get a little control over my social anxiety but I know that it’s at least somewhat attainable. Anyways I just wanted to vent
Don't meditate..That stuff isn't going to change it for the long run...The answer to your social anxiety and panic attacks is, JESUS CHRIST. The reason i say this is because i personally have been going through it myself..For 16 years..It was really bad, Not to mention i had depression at that. I was also very very suicidal due to it..And in reality it's truly nothing but Demons putting you down. Call out to GOD to take the pain away, And to help you overcome it..Trust me when i say..JESUS is truly the answer to overcome this for a lifetime. I never have felt so free in my life. And due to that i dedicated my life to GOD forever. Best decision i have ever made. JESUS understands exactly what you're going through. Truly.
@@Leena_Here I know and I’ve actually been a Christian all my life and even went to a Christian elementary and middle school, so this is the first school that I’m going to that isn’t a Christian school which is obviously not a bad thing. I have been praying too and trying to talk to God to help me through this and now I just went to school today and I was able to go to all of my school periods without getting sick at all! I hope this continues even with or without the medication I am on. Thank you for reading my story and I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone in this hard time of my life since I’m only 14. I can relate to your story so much and it makes me feel so much better and much more confident in myself that I will get through this, even if it does take a long time. Thank you for responding!

We often forget about how much our faces and body language can express. If you can’t find the words, a smile or a hand gesture can go a long way. That’s how I survived school for a very long time, people would talk to me and I’d either smile and nod or shake my head and they grew accustomed to only asking me things that I could say yes or no to. Other times I’d use my hands or shrug. Smiling rlly helps make you look more friendly too, and I know this for a fact from experience. Ofc this doesn’t work because I still end up running away from most social stuff and I know sometimes it makes it rlly hard to even look at the other person but this non-verbal way of interacting rlly helped me and it might just help you too.
Everyone here, I know u can relate, or partly relate. I don't know you. But u came to watch this video and u are experiencing this feeling and I'm so sorry about that. Let me tell you that you've got this. Chin up, head high. When your brain starts talking and your heart starts pounding, don't let it stop you from loving yourself.

You look like Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle. 😳
Ted Ehioghae I get that all the time😂😂
Less judging, more acceptance. That's all it takes.
I related to this short film on an undescribable level. I'm always deemed as the "quiet kid" or the kid who never talks. I'm comfortable around a couple people and that's it, but sometimes I still get nervous asking to hang out with them. It sucks because they see me typing and pressure me to "just send the message." They probably think I'm a just slow typer, but in reality my main concern is messaging them the wrong thing, resulting in them hating me. I'll be on sports teams for months, even years, and never make a single friend. I dread meeting other people and going to family get-togethers. Nothing bothers me more then when people say "stop being shy" or "just talk." It's not shyness, it's anxiety. I've started getting therapy to help with my social anxiety, so I really hope I can work to improve my social skills. I don't want my anxiety to impact what I'll be able to do later in life.
People think I'm rude when I can't speak to them properly in an overwhelming social situation or I speak really quietly and monotone
I've recently got sosial anxiety from isolating myself and not talking to my family during the lockdown and when we started going back to school I could barely talk to anybody,at lunch i sit with a huge group of people but I feel so out of place while everybody is talking to one another and I'm just there smiling and listening.When anybody wants to talk to me I stutter or fail at trying to construct a sentence,I feel like a background friend
There are millions of people out there in the world right now who are in the same situation as me. I hope you are all well. Even though we are all in a much worse situation I I hope we all get out of this situation one day. (sorry for bad english)
I cried when the tape came off and he started smiling. 😭
I find this video to be so relatable, I suffer from social anxiety too. I have a hard time getting along with people, making friends, making conversation face to face and speaking in front of an audience of people. Some people think I'm anti social or just being rude because I talk less and don't interact much and some people think I'm messed up in my head because of my awkward behavior and some people at college give me wired looks and sometimes talk about me behind my back. I feel more anxious at college because that's where I spend most of my time and that's where things happen, at other places I only get anxious while interacting with people who I don't know. A few times I had girls at college hitting on me and people trying to be friends with me and I tend to mess things up with my wired body language and extremely nervous tone of voice and I regret it and keep thinking about it a lot of times. I spend most of my time at college trying to stay calm and sometimes I cry. I keep worrying about getting teased at, getting into a conversation and making it awkward and failing college because most of the work involved doing presentations. I had only one close friend that understands me and tries to support me, he gave me a few tips to help me improve my condition which is: not having any social expectations. keeping in mind that its not necessary to get along with everyone I meet and make an impression wherever I go. Stop thinking about college or certain memories when I'm at home and enjoy the comfort of my home. think that I'm better than everyone and nobody means anything to me. After listening to his advice I do feel less anxious at college but I still feel anxious talking to people and being in certain social situations.
I wish I had friends like the people in his class
Social anxiety is incurable. I had severe social anxiety but now I've reduced it from 100 to 50
This brought me back to when I spoke for the first time in high school and people started to say ”omg, she can talk”. I now at 19 years old work in costumer service and still have anxiety but I pray within me to calm me down. It would be nice if people we're that nice to comprehend our situation.

@This Is yup, it’s hard but not impossible. Try to work within your emotions, I’m pretty sure you are capable of over coming it, we all pray for you 🙏🏼💙
Sometimes I think I have social anxiety. I hate going into public cause I get bad anxiety when I’m in public, I always fear that somebody’s gonna judge me for an action that I do.and I get really embarrassed in public for for reason, and if I think I look ugly but my mother forces me to go in the store I breakdown bc I really don’t want anybody to see me. But I’m sure that it’s probably not social anxiety because I’m only 11 and I’m probably just to young to be cable of having social anxiety
I'm 12 I only got a quick diagnosis for it about 2 or 3 years ago.
Really powerful bought me to tears. I am 38 now and this has plagued me my entire life. Thank goodness people are more informed about my mental difficulties these days.
Think before you judge and try to open your mind tand understand.
If you're still going through this..I want to tell you my life changed when i was praying and crying out to GOD to help me and to take all the pain, depression, Social anxiety, and insecurities away! JESUS CHRIST knows exactly what you're going through. He is real and is willing to set you free if you let him. I'm telling you.. It's nothing but HIS LOVE.. feels like freedom. My life has never been the same since. (There is HOPE)
Sad thing is my parents make fun of me and say why aren’t you like the other kids
I'm glad my friends are understanding about my social anxiety, but when it's people I don't know, they think I'm weird, they talk about me and think that I can't hear them when I can, I'm always silent when people try to talk to me because I can't think of the right thing to say and I'm scared, so I just give up, I've only ever been out with my friends once and that was terrifying, my heart beats fast and I can't think straight, I hate the fact that I'm uncomfortable to talk or even have emotions around others, it's nice to know I'm not the only one facing this even if I personally don't know anyone with the same issues, thank you for this, It made me cry, but in a good way
I never talked much until now. But with a side of autism, I still have social anxiety, because when I was younger, I was bullied at school. No not just your usual “NERD!” Like…I got beat up on the daily. (I was like 7) over time I was just terrified of speaking talking to anyone in any way. Even now even just ordering food at a drive through or at a restaurant, gives me a sense of impending doom or just like next level nervousness.
I just found my own diagnosis ! I thought i was the only one with this :(
I have always been the shy one and I never have had many friends. I have so many thoughts but I can’t say any of them
For me I can speak to people but I can't be myself around anyone and I feel awkward and uncomfortable around people and don't know how to act even around my own family and its really draining because in my head I can be confident and have fluent conversations but irl I can't and I hate being known as shy and quiet because thats not who I really am its just the mask I hide behind because I'm scared of what people think of me and no matter how hard I try to get past the overthinking and do things out of my comfort zone I can never seem to do it
I've been at school for like 2 days now and I'm extremely quiet. I'm even anxious to ask teachers questions
It's literally made me so hard to cry 😭
I feel this. You did a good job, love your video
uyen 0926 Thank you!!
I go through this everyday.
My social anxiety was caused from a traumatic experience from getting bullied mentally I’ve never spoke many words until it started. I was 8 when it started and I was 10 when it stopped I have mood swings all the time. I’m mentally dented my mental health and my parents didn’t understand what I was going through. They always told me to brush it off but I really couldn’t. I also had a teacher that would always shame me for not doing something right and I remember always breaking down at home and at class and I remember never paying attention in class because I was always worried about something. I am Currently 12.
I want everyone to know that there is a cure for social anxiety. Look for a therapist who SPECIALIZES SPECIFICALLY in social anxiety. There is a light at the end of the tunnel....
When I was with my clasmates/friends I always put on a face smile and act dum af or super happy and say dumt stuff that I will regret after. I did not know why i did so But I now think that I was and still am not comfortuble in the situation. Now I am just quiet because I don’t have the energi to hold up a smile and be with people.
since i’m back in school, i’m trying to find people who relate. it’s the worst for doing presentations or reading in class or being called on to answer
i love to live alone
because people always hurt me
Thank You For Giving Positive Vibe 💜
I can identify with that. Also, very much miss that old Kingston riverside (moved away last year)!
i hate being the only one in the room not talking to people
I can understand. since this comment is 5 months old, I'm wondering if you have overcome it?
Really well done Nick, good on you mate. Sums things up perfectly! :)
jay hunter thank you Jay :) That means a lot. It was very personal.
I only deal with social anxiety among my friends and acquaintances. I can talk to strangers without much issues.
Same here 😌
It's so easy to get over all u gotta do is put yourself in a stressful situation with ppl u don't know
That's not how it works 😅 yes exposure is good but with therapy. Because you might be able to change how you act on the outside but it's a bit harder to change your own thoughts on the inside
I've 'learnt' some social mannerisms from observing others but I still feel anxious inside, like, "did I say this right? What if they think I'm being rude?! They're probably judging me already" so how you act can be different to how you feel and if you act "fine" but are anxious inside then the acting doesn't automatically"cure" the anxiety. I think therapy (especially CBT) is about helping you to look at the problems from a different perspective (and learn coping mechanisms)
Basically what I'm saying is that exposing yourself to a feared social situation might be able to help with how to act on the outside, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue causing the anxiety
It doesn’t work like that you people will never fucking understand what this is like…
Sometimes you gotta put yourself in the most uncomfortable situations to really face your fears of social anxiety, that’s the sad truth but it works. Talk therapy and exercise also work well!
Nice. It is cool seeing videos on Social anxiety disorder
I have social anxiety. You are awesome man. Probably less anxiety than me.
*Komi watching quietly in the other corner*
Komi: Are you saying, that you struggle to *COMMUNICATE* ?
I’ve had social anxiety since I was in my younger years of primary school (primary 2-3 when I was bullied by a couple older kids) I thought I escaped it when I switched schools (p4) but it the voice in the back of my head never left it just grew louder over time.
I’m now in my first year of academy and it’s becoming unbearable but it’s just too hard to tell anyone, how do I escape this??
Maybe I could give u some advice??? Idk, I'm not always the best at giving advice. Just comment back if u wanna talk...
Ella Drutarosky that would be great
@@Chloe-o1h well I mean I was going to tell u to go see a therapist and confide to someone, but then I realized that involved talking. So maybe u could try to tell me more about ur anxiety. Idk, I'm sorry if this seems awkward. I also suffer from social anxiety, so that's why I thought I can help u. And tbh, I don't really know how to start this conversation, so once again I'm sorry if this is really awkward.
Ella Drutarosky it’s fine 🙃
Well it’s mostly overthinking
@@Chloe-o1h um yeah I do that a lot
I didn't go outside for almost 9 months because of my social phobia and depressions..... I have suicide thoughts and I don't think I can make it any longer
stay strong king!
With friends the world become easy
its amazing how accurate this video is, well done guys
thanx for making people understand a bit of how we feel
especially thanx to you mr Cody Banks :D
I love happy endings, this gave hope
Yes when people say "why are you so quiet" or when they ask me why are your hands so red? I just want to chuck a rock at them 🙄

I hardly make friends, because people thinks I just don't like to talk while I'm to scared to start a conversation. When my only friend is absent I'm sitting alone all day without talking to somebody. They are accepting me but I feel like they hate me or judging me for every word I say. It's sad especially when I really want to talk to others and I don't want to feel lonely. My social anxiety isn't that bad cause I'm not that afraid to talk to people with different age than me and I'm able to ask somebody about something but with every other day it gets worse. But I hope it gets better. Take care everyone
I wonder how those people feel who dont have social anxiety
Do they have a totally different thinking
My parents don't believe me when I say I have social anxiety. They say that I'm just trying to look cute or trying to get attention when attention is the least that I want especially when passing a paper to the cashier so that I don't have to speak
Oh my...I know exactly how you feel. I went through the same exact thing. I want to tell you. People may never understand our thoughts or feelings unless they have went through it themselves..But..i do know one person who will always understand you..No matter what...and that is JESUS CHRIST! I don't know if you believe in GOD but...He's the one who set me free from Social anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, And attempts...I'm telling you HE is soo soo REAL...Once i cried out to him asking for him to "Please take the Pain away"..My life has never been the same since..Things slowly started to change..And i'm telling you..I never EVER have felt soo FREE in my ENTIRE life..I'm literally a living testimony. To confirm that the LOVE OF GOD is REAL!! He loves you!! And he is there is rescue you from this!! All it takes is to Cry out to him.. (There is HOPE)
Everyone with social anxiety who watches this knows that alcohol helps ALOT. You may asume that people being friendly is the thing that makes you comfortable but 9/10 times its alcohol. Atleast for me. Nice thing about this video is that it never states if its the alcohol or the company that makes you able to interract. Thumps up.
I knew there was something going on with me growing up and through my 20s..now just working on overcoming it
Are you still suffering through it?
It would be nice if it worked just that fast...one bit of courage to turn that corner, meet up with people and it's done. You're over the social anxiety. It's not like that at all, with me. First I fight myself so that I agree to go to a work party. Then I fight myself to actually get in the fricken car. Then to get out of the car and walk my ass into the restaurant. Then how do I find my group, where do I sit, how do I order my food, what should I say to keep a conversation going? Are they thinking that I'm weird because I'm fumbling around and looking around a lot. Are the people at the other tables laughing at me, thinking I'm weird, ugly, dressed stupid. I hear laughing and I have to look in that direction. If they look in my general direction, I "know" they're laughing at me. Are my coworkers thinking that I'm eating weird. It's never ending. It goes on and on and on. And a half hour dinner, for me, feels like hours. And when I go home, it's still not over. My mind goes over and over every second of that 30 minute dinner. What happened, what should I have done, why was I so stupid not to do this instead. And I'll beat myself up the entire night and into the next day. So, you're short film, is nice, a good representation of this shit. But the end is just a fantasy. I'm sorry, I know you're just a kid. But I had to vent. Thanks for a good video. Luck.
This honestly hurt to watch idk, but I did love it
What I hate is when people say
‘Why don’t you speak?’
‘You are shy but will have to be more confident when you get a job, humans are for talking’ I remember my case manger said that to me and that made me upset.
On Monday me and my parents went to my case manger to talk about something that was making me upset in one class, and I hated it when ever my parents would mainion when I’m not speaking when the he asked a question or if I didn’t talk much would be like ‘she doesn’t talk much, you have to talk’ and yea...
Today I was in studie class, I was stuck on some work I didn’t understand, and I never ask for help because I have social anxiety, plus I was really upset and a lot of negative thoughts went through my head..
OOh wow, I understand how you may have felt, I use to go through the same thing being afraid to ask for help..And due to it..I failed three times in High School during freshman year. I don't know if you believe in GOD or the afterlife..But The negative thoughts..I'm telling you is truly just demons doing everything to pull you down to make you kill yourself..Because YOU have a big purpose in life that GOD has planned for you..And Satan and his demons will do anything to Stop that. The answer to your social anxiety and panic attacks is, JESUS CHRIST. The reason i say this is because i personally have been going through it myself..For 16 years..It was really bad, Not to mention i had depression at that. I was also very very suicidal due to it..And in reality it's truly nothing but Demons putting you down. Call out to GOD to take the pain away, And to help you overcome it..Trust me when i say..JESUS is truly the answer to overcome this for a lifetime. I never have felt so free in my life. And due to that i dedicated my life to GOD forever. Best decision i have ever made. JESUS understands exactly what you're going through. Truly. HE LOVES YOU Sooo MUCH!!
I graduated High School yesterday I’m glad I survived with Selective Mutism through all this 🥺🥺
its the worst because I force myself to speak even tho im super awkward (btw im in middle school) because I know that if I don't and just stay quite like I want to it will get worse. but I have depression aswell so its so tiring making myself fake laugh everyday and not feeling like I have 'real" friends just because im not my true self. I am also worried that ill loose my old friends I made before I developed my anxiety and I really don't want to because they are the best people I have ever met in my life but I just don't have the courage to call or text them or hangout. And the worse part is it gets worse every year... thank god im getting medication in a few days so at least I can have some hope in not loosing the rest of myself and my life.
OOh wow, i can relate to this 100%. Are you still suffering?
It’s so bad I hate going to places, I hate seeing people I know, I go literally tomato red when anyone talks to me especially in class. I can’t hold a conversation at all. I wanna talk and be bold but I can’t. It hurts :(
it took me 2 years to finally be able to talk in class without turning red. the more i talkes the less it got :)))
i love this sm im so glad im not the only one:/
Social anxiety, disorder people can't understand, doctor can't cure. Believe is the biggest hope, being mentally strong is the only cure you can get rid of it easily. I got bullied a lot due to this phobia, people say lots of things and I couldn't do anything just turned my back.
"Ignoring the problem is not the solution, running away ain't a freedom". Try to face it rather than avoiding it. Remember avoiding is persistent, facing it is just one time than there's your freedom.
