walking down the street or hallway makes me go anxious like it always feels like I'm walking funny and everyone is just staring at me or i'll trip any moment
I have that too. In my school there is a big hallway with pretty much half of the school hanging out there in the breaks. I have to walk through it to get to class and the only thing in my head is "walk normal" or "you're gonna trip" you are totaly not alone😊
Social anxiety disorder usually comes on at around 13 years of age. It can be linked to a history of abuse, bullying, or teasing. Shy kids are also more likely to become socially anxious adults, as are children with overbearing or controlling parents.👍
When ever I go to a friends house, my first thought would be “do I look pretty enough for them?” I was always afraid of being judged, which made me the quiet kid at school. I have tried to stop being so shy or socially awkward but it never worked
I’m the “quiet” kid and I have like 4 friends that I basically only talk to and I really want to stop being shy and start talking to people but I’m scared they’ll be like “oh you talk?” So I just valley talk at all

People always assume im anti social when im actually trying to overcome my shyness.....because it takes a lot of courage to even go to public places without being insecure
i fucking hate being shy. its not a trait for me its something that needs to be destroyed. i hate not being able to approach mu crush. she probably thinks im weird or something for not making any advances. shes probably moved onto someone else by now ngl. about 3 months and nothing. just feeln nervous and idek why. idk why im not like the other dudes. with girlfriends and social and super happy la la la la la. i go to the gym and im on nofap and i meditate and i can talk to girls and it simply dosnt work. im still shy. i talk to strangers at the gym and im still shy. i still cant approach the chick. itd be soo easy if i was a girl and shy but nope im expected to make the first move so im acrewed. wth what will fix this? why wont it just work. rveryone running around with huge friend groups and i just rot and decompose. everyone around me is banging their girlfriends ROUGH nd living it up and here i am ranting on a 2 year old yt reply comment section. its so funny i wish i was born here instead or immigrating here at 9 but nope things would probably br so much eifferent if i was born here instead or having immigrated now i cant approach my crush cuz im too nervous and she probably doesnt even like me anymore actually not probably definitely haha women like men that cqn jeut take a big deep breatg and go have a damn donversation with the frmale they loke but no not me and i don understand why im like this also my english is usually much better than this lol 😊🔫🔫🔫🔫🩸🩸🩸🧠🧠
@@theoryofsentience(i'm a girl ) my social anxiety is getting worse and worse i hate it so much. I don't stand with the society for example for young people it's funny to party to drink and to smoke starting at the age 13 or even less like wtf has this world came to i hate not beeing able to talk with anybody but at the same time i don't share their intrests . I just feel like i'm living hell especially at school so ofc i avoid evry social interaction. I hope in the future there is going to be more hope for us 😶🫤 i also hope there is going to be more aknowlege about it so they can give us better solutions to kinda ger rid of it or cope better idk . ❤️🩹
1. avoiding or escaping very public settings 1:01 2. feeling very self-conscious in front of others 2:00 3. fear of physical symptoms that may cause you embarrassment 2:38 4. fear that others will notice that you look anxious 3:20 5. having anxiety in anticipation of a feared activity or event 5:37 6. a past negative social experience 4:36 7. identifying flaws in your interactions 5:23 I hope I could help! (:
number 7 is the absolute strongest sign for me. I replay conversations in my head so much (even those from years ago) to the point where I'm afraid to have conversations in the *future*, because I know that if I continue to interact with people there will be even more thinks for me to overthink about. And I'm so tired.
I think I got more socially anxious and shy more and more since I got bullied, made fun of, and gossiped about because of my looks. I was insecure of many stuff when I was a kid starting from when I was 5-6 and I hope no one else would go through that.
i wasnt bullied but have social anxiety since i was 5 most probably cuz of an accident in which i cut my tongue by my teeth and couldnt talk to people for much time. even my parents were in shock at that time cuz i was a very super duper energetic child before that. now am 15 and have better control on my anxiety. i am still a super introvert person but am able to accept this fact infront of everyone. :)
I’m the same whenever I was in school people would tease me for being short or being to skinny, classmates would tease me everyday and I would tell them to shut up but they wouldn’t after that I always started wearing hoodies and pants so they won’t see my arm (if that makes sense) I started getting very insecure about myself
I think the single thing that helped me the most was getting out of a toxic environment and finding great friends who appreciate me for me. If you’re in a situation like the one I was in, just know that it will get better and you will find people who will love and appreciate you. And just remember, you always deserve respect and kindness.
Shy kid in the first panel looks like Sykkuno is that an easter egg🧐 Ok they even got Corspe Husband's agoraphobia reference it definitely is a Easter egg

I had social anxiety for 15 years of my life. It got to the point where I had no friends. I never left my house and I would throw up when I felt too anxious, which was often. But today, I see the other side and there is a way to overcome it! Nothing I tried was helping me until I looked for my own answers. I created a UA-cam channel to share my story, hoping it could help you too. Please watch, I know how bad it feels and I wanna help, you are not alone💞
I'm a 33 year old man. I've had horrible bouts with social anxiety for a few periods of my life. It started around age 20 in college.....It would get so bad at times, it'd be extremely difficult for me to even do simple things like go to the grocery store....The thing that has helped me the most, by far, is exercise. Specifically running outdoors. When I run in the fresh air/sunshine on a routine basis, my social anxiety pretty much goes away completely.....I know it's tough, and maybe it's embarrassing for some people, but I promise running outdoors is like a magic pill for social anxiety. It saved my life, without a doubt
This is absolutely relatable. I'm the only introvert (and socially anxious) in our family and my mom never tells me anything if they plan on going outside, they just drag me with them knowing I hate it. I always cry and most of the times I have difficulty breathing every time I'm in a crowd. I think I can handle it, I just need like a very long time to prepare myself that's why I really hate it if someone tells me (especially my family), "you're a killjoy" or "don't be like that, all you do is stay inside the house" I told them about this but I'm always misunderstood, it's distressing.
omg same. lately, my parents have been taking me and my brothers out to lunch or taking us to go places with them. but the past few times we have gone out, they havent told me where we were going. my mom knows i have social anxiety (or symptoms of social anxiety) and she understands me cause she had severe anxiety when she was younger but, they still wont tell me until i ask them before we leave. and if she already told me, i would keep asking. i dont know why i would keep asking though....
It’s so much harder to deal with when you are a kid or teenager. You can’t get diagnosed professionally because your parents thing you are overreacting or as mine put, “just need to pray to god more”.
@@inspxre_amiyah that is what I really hate about them. They always connect it with God. Every miserable thing that happens to us they blame us telling we should pray more and heck, I don't have the money to see a professional. That's why instead of seeking a professional, we just find something that'll help us forget about it temporarily.
7 Signs it's Social Anxiety, Not Shyness: 1) Avoiding or escaping very public settings 1:01 2) Feeling very self-conscious in front of others 2:00 3) Fear of physical symptoms that may cause you embarrassment 2:38 4) Fear that others will notice that you look anxious 3:20 5) Having anxiety in anticipation of a feared activity or event 3:57 6) A past negative social experience 4:36 7) Identifying flaws in your interactions 5:23 Have a great day Psych2Goers!
I have been saying for years that I have social anxiety. when I was about 16 or 17 I tried to talk with my parents about the potential that I suffer from it, and my dad often would just brush it off as bullshit, saying I was just afraid of people, and I needed to get over that fear... it's not very often I hit every point you guys say in a video on a subject that might relate to me...
If you have a sibling or a family friend that you’re close to, get them to send it if you can’t. If you have none of those then ask your friends for advice on how to get the courage. Until then, write about it, because if you bottle it up then you may snap at someone, not just your mom
@@sophiescribbles8504 I think that if we are sad we should keep everything inside and not tell anything. Me for example don't say a single word to my parents about what I feel beacause I fear their reactions. I have this fear from one time when things didn't went well. My sister had to go to the hospital to get some treatment. My grandparents came there for emotional support. We got it over way sooner than expected. And left the hospital. But I wanted to go to stay at my grandparents house. My parents did not. So they let my brother instead. Fast forward a week. I go to my grandparents house but my brother was a buzz kill and came with me. Then I did the mistake to talk in front of him. He was only 5 at this time so he broke down in tears. My dad came to take him home (served him right) my dad said to me :we will talk tomorrow. So I said to myself :never talk again in front of family members. And I feel fine doing it
I understand these, my mom has social anxiety or just general anxiety and depression, so when after awhile I started feeling numb constantly and panicky she wont let me see anyone quoting "Welcome to the club" or "You'll get over it"
Can I just say that those same three people who dance after every video are pleasing to me? I just can't help but smile with how in-sync they are and how happy they seem to be :)
I had a dilemma whether i had social anxiety or I was just shy . So thank God because of this video I knew that I'm just a shy person who is trying to build up Confidence 🙂
I don’t know if it’s social anxiety or just really bad shyness I’ll go with shyness until I can get diagnosed although I am expressing symptoms of anxiety and all symptoms in this vieo
I would highly recommend talking to somebody about it and seeing if you can get a diagnosis. Trust me it feels so much better knowing what you have and not thinking you are weird for not liking social interaction.
This changes everything.. until now, I thought I was just shy and introverted, but this video has brought to light some major signs of social anxiety that I've always exhibited, like an overwhelming fear of being judged or embarrassed in public and constantly feeling anxious and on the edge till I get alone somewhere... I'm not just shy, I've actually got social anxiety.... And Psych2go was the one that enlightened me to the fact... Thank you!!❣️
I had being diagnosed by a Psychiatrist with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder), and everything is on this video is right. Having this level of anxiety is so frustrating and horrible, but at least you can treat it. I take a pill every mornin, and I probably will have to live with it the rest of my life. The pill actually helps me to stay calm and focus, but I just can't stop living with fear, and I'm always thinking in the future and all the things than can or not come. If you know a person with this condition, try and talk with them, make them talk with a psychologist, it is very important to have them with constant help... trust me, I know... my aunt can't left the house alone, she can't go to a shop by her own, she also needs help but she's extremely anxious to go and talk with a psychologist... my family is still trying to help her. We are not crazy, this is a real condition and can be devastating for the family if isn't treat it like it has to. (Btw, sorry for my basic english, I'm still learning and thanks for reading this, very appreciated 💚) (If you respond this comment I probably wouldn't respond back- to scare to start a conversation about it but I have the minimum of confidence to share this with you all)
Having social anxiety is especially tough for me at work. I feel like I can’t move up because I’m so hindered by my anxiety in talking with others. I have feigned sickness before to avoid attending conferences and I’m not proud of it. I really question how I can progress my career and not eventually lose my job.
Me too and I lost my job. People didn't know I have SAD because I can chat with others like normal person. After they found me hiding at home when my SAD happened, they just thought I am lazy and shy. My only way to reduce the anxiety is taking medicine. I think people can't understand SAD triggered in non normal way, not just because of scaring to communicate with people. Hope you can deal with it, it likes a long journey but time can heal it better.
my social anxiety is so severely that i rarely leave the house. going to the movies is a BIG obstacle for me. i recently went to the cinemas this past Sunday with my siblings and we had to walk through the shopping center and it was packed with people. my heart was racing, my armpits were sweaty. i can feel the pressure building up that i wanted to just run to hide somewhere. upon entering the building even more anxiety was building up. i could see groups of people and them laughing which triggered my past when i was being made fun of in high school. and then they went to the bar to get alcohol while i sat and waited for them watching over the food. groups of people came out of the screening rooms and i began to stare at the wall trying to avoid eye contact but also not make myself look like a weirdo. i just wanted to get in that dark room and begin watching the movie. once we got in it was already packed and our seats were in the front so it felt like i was giving a presentation to everyone. i just kept looking down for my seat and then i sat down and we watched the movie and then leaving was the same. i just wanted to get in that car and go home. it sucks so much.
To anyone reading, you are a lovely human being who is beautiful/handsome and has blessed the Earth by merely existing. You may feel like the world is against you, but even if it is, you’re never alone. Ever. Please be kind to yourself and stay safe during these hard times! Lots of love, Tigerlily ❤️
I’ve had severe social anxiety since the 7th grade. I’m starting high school today. This had been a very tough journey but I feel as though I’ve gotten better over the years. I have hope and honestly am a bit excited for school for once !! Wish me luck :))
I genuinely have to think about the way I’m breathing at school, in case I’m breathing wrong, and even blinking sometimes. I feel like people will judge and scrutinise me for every single thing I do, even though most people won’t. My mouth also feels so dry and I swallow excessively when Im anxious. It’s like the moment I go outside, everyone is watching me and judging my every move. I can barely in public, because I’m too self conscious and people will judge the way I’m eating. I hate my life so much, but I know a lot of people have it much worse.
I think my social anxiety first appeared after getting bullied in first grade after that, I've been really self-conscious about myself... I still get bullied a lot, being the quiet, weird, weak and isolated kid that I am. I have and will always be the perfect target to bullies
I don't cope with anxiety... It gets really bad sometimes. 😅 Mostly went I think about my kitten that died on new years because she died in my arms, I had the worst panic attack then. Or when I went to my first school dance with my fear of loud noises, darkness, crowds, and being alone. I froze up when I was in a crowd at Disneyland
I can't say I've been diagnosed with social anxiety (never bothered getting analyzed for any potential mental health disorders), but I've definitely shown symptoms. What helped me most (I still struggle sometimes) is hard wiring into my mind to not take anyone's criticisms to heart, and letting myself feel worthy of the spotlight when I feel like everyone's looking at me. I don't really take myself too seriously, so most of what I do in public is for laughs anyway. That's what works for me, but I know it won't help everyone. Best of luck, and thanks for the video, Psych2Go! :)
I am so thankful for all your videos because I always learn something from them. I was extremely shy throughout my childhood and stuttered. As an adult I literally stuttered uncontrollably in public situations like at job-related meetings, therefore, I avoided providing any input. As a result I missed promotions though I was a wiz at number calculations and in computer work. Now I am retired and don’t have a single friend. I fear that due to the pandemic if it stays as an endemic, there will be many more people suffering from social anxiety. My trouble stemmed from not being allowed to voice my opinions about anything at home by my parents nor by any of my elder siblings. They made me feel devalued and invisible. I was the last born, born much later.
When I was younger, maybe twelve or thirteen, we were fling a musical showcase for school, and I was going to sing a song with a few other kids. I was nervous, as I’d always been shy anyways, but I was determined to push through. My part in the song came, I opened my mouth, and nothing. I just stood there frozen, my mind completely blank as the entire school watched. And then there was laughter. It seemed to last forever until I remembered that I had legs and ran off stage. That’s where my social anxiety began. I can’t even talk to those people anymore, since I’m sure they will still hate me (they probably don’t, but my anxiety won let me get near them). And I promised myself that I would never put myself in a situation where I have to DO anything again with anyone, feeling so guilty for ruining everything and am constantly berating myself for it, and every bad thing I’ve done since.
1:16 I got the reference. The deepest voice on youtube who is also a really kind person. "Filled with anxiety, always be hidin' me. Feelin' inadequate's always what's driving me." Great video, as always.
i felt so anxious yesterday at school for NO reason like i had nothing to be anxious about, i felt so nauseous and like i wanted to throw up, i thought i might puke any sec, i couldn’t eat lunch properly and once i got home, my stomach hurt so bad.
same. like whenever im out with my family to get lunch, i get told that i have to ask for food myself when we are at a restaurant. i told my mom that i can barely even ask for a fucking drink cause if i do, i feel like crying after and i try to hold it in most the time. its so fucking hard dealing with it tho. cause i told my grandmother that i have social anxiety and she was like "well dont try to be like your sister and mom. you are your own person" and my sister and mom have anxiety so when she said that, i felt like having an anxiety attack or something. i wanted to cry. but like, im always talking alot at home and shit so idk lol

Figured out that I don't have social anxiety but I feel for those suffering from it. I can't imagine what you are going through. Hoping you'll get better overtime
Though being diagnosed with social anxiety I was starting to doubt myself, wondering if it was just my inferiority complex and major shyness.. So thank you for this, it really helped clear things up 🧡
This video was extremely helpful. I had been having panic attacks upon panic attacks. My parents were concerned about my mental health since I had been ignoring my teachers and I was pushing my closest friends away. I watched this video and rang up a specailist , I was diagnosed with severe social anxiety. So thank you in a way for helping me get the help i need. I'm now getting back to normal with my friends but I still freak out when I'm introduced to someone new. Unfortunately I lost most of my friends along the way but the ones that stayed were my true friends. Thank you again for helping understand myself and others! I greatly appreciated it
I'm the kind of person who just follows around one friend, because I get really anxious if I'm by myself even though I LIKE to be by myself. I feel like everyone is always judging me for everything. I remember in 5th grade once my friend was on a vacation for the week & I had no one to stay with, so I just hid in the bathroom at lunch. I also like to draw, so whenever someone would try to look at my drawing I would get so anxious, like idk I just am a really nervous person.
I can litteraly name like 20 situations in my past which haunt me to this day. I dont think that will ever stop. Cringing at myself is apparently the favorite activity of my psyche.
I find it interesting that social anxiety can be mistaken for many different things: shyness, introversion, and such. My mom mistook my social anxiety for "mild" autism. Because of this incorrect identification, she would put me in social situations so I could practice social skills. She had no idea that she was unintentionally setting me up for failure
It’s...strange to me that i have almost all these symptoms, but the one thing i can say i don’t think I’ve ever had is a panic attack. I think panic attacks usually have hyperventilating and like just overall really bad reactions from your body. I mean...idk if you could call this a panic attack, but i remember i was doing a practice singing on the mini stage in my class, i was partnered up with a friend and we had to sing a song in front of the class. Back in elementary school, I’d always get nervous but never anxious. In middle school, on that day, when i sang, i got really bad heart palpitations, i started trembling, my palms started getting sweaty, my body got extremely hot, which caused me to itch almost everywhere and my eyes welled up with tears. I don’t remember what happened, but i think i forced myself to keep singing, which made my voice shaky, which made me even more anxious because i felt like I’d get made fun of for it.
I'm diagnosed with social anxiety, after some sessions with my psychologist back in November. I've improved since then, and after watching this video, I think that I was the definition of social anxiety honestly, I can relate to all the points of this video easily, but fortunately with the help of a professional I'm now able to not stress that much in social moments. Thanks for the video as always!
I just want to tell someone about this but u know, social anxiety. So the UA-cam comment section is the only place. So... my parents used to fight. I wasn’t involved in it i guess but there’s this one time my mom got so angry she yelled at me suddenly “NO TV!!” and grab the remote from my hand and threw it. I can still remember how scary it is especially when my dad shouted. Now even when my dad raised his voice to lecture my sister, I’m still traumatised by it
this has helped me know why I do some things, and now everyone that I have a close relationship with understands how my worst symptom, uncontrollable blushing that never stops, is just my main symptom due to it always feels like someone is watching me
I was waiting for a video like this! I'm shy but not socially anxious. I hate it when people use the terms interchangeably or as if they're one and the same.
My therapist is a cognitive therapist so she taught me how to challenge negative thoughts and cognitive distortions. It really has helped me to cut off my over analysis of my past social interactions.
Yes I've only been going for a year and I've made so much progress it's like I used to have cords wrapped around my chest whenever I was around people now I can actually breathe
*Signs it's social anxiety and not shyness* Group project Shy: I'm a little nervous but will try to work hard with my partners👉👈 Anxiety: this is it.... I'm going to die. They're all going to hate me if I don't speak up.
I am a introvert but luckily I don't have any anxiety with regards to public speaking. For my university graduation dinner, I volunteered to be the MC/host as no one else is willing to. I told myself that as I am not being graded for this performance, I don't have to worry about any mistakes that may happen; just go forth and have some fun!
I both relate to, and am jealous of people that are “just shy”. I really wish I was just kind of shy and bashful around people, in a mild and charming way, and not my usual extremely nervous, too-quiet, too-rigid self. I think people can tell that I’m not like them, that I’m not as socially developed as they are, and so they just ignore me. If I was shy, they would just think “oh she’s just shy! I should keep talking to her to break the ice.”
social anxiety is when u shut your mouth up and sometimes close your eyes too when you are right infront of your class and teacher to speak a simple poem written on the textbook
Easter eggs: Sykkuno scarf, possible reference to Kinoko Kingdom, (Mushroom) and Dream! (Probably referencing Tommy getting killed by a potato by Dream)
my family just says that I'm too shy or antisocial... I'm not antisocial...I REALLY want to communicate and hangout with other people... I just.. everytime I'm stepping outside of my house, overthinking, nausea & dizziness come to me. My mind sometimes even goes blank. Even for me to answer a question a teacher asks feels like such a difficult task. I'd always have to come up with plan how to not get anxious and overthink too much for am event or something I have to be facing later. I'm always scared that my plan would be ruined. Im so scared that I would tremble over my words, talk too slow or too loud, afraid of what people think of how I walk, what I wear, when I arrive, how I eat, etc. I feel so alone.
I had a presentation before summer started. I was sweating, moving from a leg to an other, played with my fingers, couldnt look at the kids for less than 2 seconds, my voice was trembling, i forgot almost everything i had to say and i could feel my teacher judging me .I was so frustrated,scared and nervous and felling like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest it was even worse because right before i had the presentation we went to a museum so i didnt have time to prepare i told my teacher i was going to the bathroom and i started literally learning my sentences like a song and was so fast and got so scared. Anyway in the end i got like a seven (my partner got a 10) and i literally felt like i was gonna cry i got into the girls bathroom, locked myself in there and started crying silently so tbh i think i deal with social anxiety
From 2nd to 7th that was me...guess It's not just shyness that holds me back from making friends... (It even comes to the point where I lock myself in a room avoiding my family..)
I've had family members say I'm shy, every time I feel like saying and do say "It's anxiety!!". I watched this to see if this is the case, I'm still unsure though I do remember struggling with new settings for fear of embarrassment, humiliation, etc. the first day of school after homeschooling is an example of this, I still had anxiety going to school though the first day was the worst. Any social event I went to, I always have anxiety. I refuse to say I'm shy because I really don't think I am. I am an introvert and a little bit of an extrovert, I prefer to keep to myself. I've noticed that talking to people I trust about what I've said and done has helped me improve socially, and not panic so much about the other person. Also discovering who I am and embracing that has really helped as well. I hope this all made sense, there was some emotion put into this because I really don't like being identified as shy when I'm not.
I have a feeling that social anxiety will not leave my life it is effecting me so badly that I can't eat outside or anywhere I just have that feeling everybody's staring at me and I instantly feel nauseous and sweaty.
This really explains so much. For the longest time a lot of people thought I was shy, I did as well, until years later when I got an official diagnosis that I was not shy, but very socially anxious. I'm always thinking about conversations in Middle School and High School that I feel I made a fool of myself and think of better responses despite the conversation ending a long time ago. I want to stop thinking about those things but I can't unfortunately 😔 Great video as always Psych2Go!
Does anyone feel that every time you step out of your house, you just become so aware of your appearance and facial expressions and gestures?

Yep
walking down the street or hallway makes me go anxious like it always feels like I'm walking funny and everyone is just staring at me or i'll trip any moment
I have that too. In my school there is a big hallway with pretty much half of the school hanging out there in the breaks. I have to walk through it to get to class and the only thing in my head is "walk normal" or "you're gonna trip" you are totaly not alone😊

Social anxiety disorder usually comes on at around 13 years of age. It can be linked to a history of abuse, bullying, or teasing. Shy kids are also more likely to become socially anxious adults, as are children with overbearing or controlling parents.👍
Guess i need to be careful
well ur right i was shy when i was younger but now i cant even go for a walk :(

Thx man
what? This was uploaded 22 seconds ago-
number 7 is the absolute strongest sign for me. I replay conversations in my head so much (even those from years ago) to the point where I'm afraid to have conversations in the *future*, because I know that if I continue to interact with people there will be even more thinks for me to overthink about. And I'm so tired.
I thought that was just me
Yeah, I don't sleep much and sometimes have insomnia because of it :')
I think I got more socially anxious and shy more and more since I got bullied, made fun of, and gossiped about because of my looks. I was insecure of many stuff when I was a kid starting from when I was 5-6 and I hope no one else would go through that.
Damn patrick i didnt you your childhood was so bad.
i wasnt bullied but have social anxiety since i was 5 most probably cuz of an accident in which i cut my tongue by my teeth and couldnt talk to people for much time. even my parents were in shock at that time cuz i was a very super duper energetic child before that. now am 15 and have better control on my anxiety. i am still a super introvert person but am able to accept this fact infront of everyone. :)
I’m the same whenever I was in school people would tease me for being short or being to skinny, classmates would tease me everyday and I would tell them to shut up but they wouldn’t after that I always started wearing hoodies and pants so they won’t see my arm (if that makes sense) I started getting very insecure about myself

If you’re in a situation like the one I was in, just know that it will get better and you will find people who will love and appreciate you. And just remember, you always deserve respect and kindness.

It will be alright ❤️
Shy kid in the first panel looks like Sykkuno is that an easter egg🧐
Ok they even got Corspe Husband's agoraphobia reference it definitely is a Easter egg
lol I noticed those too!
🎵I love when it rains, cause I'm agoraphobic🎵
Yeah, I saw that the person with anxiety spilt a drink on Dream too
This artist has been leaving Easter eggs about otv and dream SMP for years now. Look at every video with the similar artstyle and you're bound to find ester eggs.
Sometimes I think I have social anxiety because I don't like being within a crowd of strangers, but now I think I'm just shy/introverted.
I don't think anyone is gonna see this, but could you make a video showing the difference between being healthier and detaching from emotions? I'm going through some tough stuff and genuinely want to know
I had social anxiety for 15 years of my life. It got to the point where I had no friends. I never left my house and I would throw up when I felt too anxious, which was often. But today, I see the other side and there is a way to overcome it! Nothing I tried was helping me until I looked for my own answers. I created a UA-cam channel to share my story, hoping it could help you too. Please watch, I know how bad it feels and I wanna help, you are not alone💞
I'm a 33 year old man. I've had horrible bouts with social anxiety for a few periods of my life. It started around age 20 in college.....It would get so bad at times, it'd be extremely difficult for me to even do simple things like go to the grocery store....The thing that has helped me the most, by far, is exercise. Specifically running outdoors. When I run in the fresh air/sunshine on a routine basis, my social anxiety pretty much goes away completely.....I know it's tough, and maybe it's embarrassing for some people, but I promise running outdoors is like a magic pill for social anxiety. It saved my life, without a doubt
I've had social anxiety for 45years.
This is absolutely relatable. I'm the only introvert (and socially anxious) in our family and my mom never tells me anything if they plan on going outside, they just drag me with them knowing I hate it. I always cry and most of the times I have difficulty breathing every time I'm in a crowd. I think I can handle it, I just need like a very long time to prepare myself that's why I really hate it if someone tells me (especially my family), "you're a killjoy" or "don't be like that, all you do is stay inside the house" I told them about this but I'm always misunderstood, it's distressing.
So bad, hope you can cope with it
I hate it when they plan going out but don't tell anything, I'm not ready
omg same. lately, my parents have been taking me and my brothers out to lunch or taking us to go places with them. but the past few times we have gone out, they havent told me where we were going. my mom knows i have social anxiety (or symptoms of social anxiety) and she understands me cause she had severe anxiety when she was younger but, they still wont tell me until i ask them before we leave. and if she already told me, i would keep asking. i dont know why i would keep asking though....
It’s so much harder to deal with when you are a kid or teenager. You can’t get diagnosed professionally because your parents thing you are overreacting or as mine put, “just need to pray to god more”.
@@inspxre_amiyah that is what I really hate about them. They always connect it with God. Every miserable thing that happens to us they blame us telling we should pray more and heck, I don't have the money to see a professional. That's why instead of seeking a professional, we just find something that'll help us forget about it temporarily.
I have social anxiety and these points r true. I always think some one is always looking st me thinking im weird

Thank you
I have been saying for years that I have social anxiety. when I was about 16 or 17 I tried to talk with my parents about the potential that I suffer from it, and my dad often would just brush it off as bullshit, saying I was just afraid of people, and I needed to get over that fear... it's not very often I hit every point you guys say in a video on a subject that might relate to me...
My parents do the same too... they say I am just being a wussy and not "MEN" enough.....
I just recently tried telling my mom too. She kept trying to deny it and said that even she felt anxious sometimes and it was perfectly normal.
You know when the animator is our girl Naphia, you will see some fandom stuff in it. 👌
Heck yeah
I saw that “agoraphobic” reference
I see the Sykkuno and Corpse references...you cultured Angel 😇
I thought the same thing!! I'm glad somebody else noticed
Yay Somone else noticed 🥰
Someone should send this to my mom so she can realize I’m not just “overreacting” and “acting like this for the drama” 😐
If you have a sibling or a family friend that you’re close to, get them to send it if you can’t. If you have none of those then ask your friends for advice on how to get the courage. Until then, write about it, because if you bottle it up then you may snap at someone, not just your mom
@@sophiescribbles8504 I think that if we are sad we should keep everything inside and not tell anything. Me for example don't say a single word to my parents about what I feel beacause I fear their reactions. I have this fear from one time when things didn't went well. My sister had to go to the hospital to get some treatment. My grandparents came there for emotional support. We got it over way sooner than expected. And left the hospital. But I wanted to go to stay at my grandparents house. My parents did not. So they let my brother instead. Fast forward a week. I go to my grandparents house but my brother was a buzz kill and came with me. Then I did the mistake to talk in front of him. He was only 5 at this time so he broke down in tears. My dad came to take him home (served him right) my dad said to me :we will talk tomorrow. So I said to myself :never talk again in front of family members. And I feel fine doing it
@@sophiescribbles8504 sorry for the long comment
I understand these, my mom has social anxiety or just general anxiety and depression, so when after awhile I started feeling numb constantly and panicky she wont let me see anyone quoting "Welcome to the club" or "You'll get over it"
Can I just say that those same three people who dance after every video are pleasing to me? I just can't help but smile with how in-sync they are and how happy they seem to be :)

As always, Naphia's artstyle is the reason why i click Pscy2go's videos
I don’t know if it’s social anxiety or just really bad shyness
I’ll go with shyness until I can get diagnosed although I am expressing symptoms of anxiety and all symptoms in this vieo
I would highly recommend talking to somebody about it and seeing if you can get a diagnosis. Trust me it feels so much better knowing what you have and not thinking you are weird for not liking social interaction.
shyness is something you should overcome too, though. i would recommend you to go to a specialist if you can. you can do it!
try to talk to your doctor about it you can schedule a meeting with a psychologist
me too !
Same thing for me I don’t know how to tell my parents though I’m nervous on what they’ll say
When you are Introverted and socially awkward with social anxiety, and has been shy and quiet since birth. 😅
I might have social anxiety but idk and my parents wont let me get a therapist so ig we will never knowwww

This changes everything.. until now, I thought I was just shy and introverted, but this video has brought to light some major signs of social anxiety that I've always exhibited, like an overwhelming fear of being judged or embarrassed in public and constantly feeling anxious and on the edge till I get alone somewhere...
I'm not just shy, I've actually got social anxiety.... And Psych2go was the one that enlightened me to the fact... Thank you!!❣️
Even writing this comment is making me think, "what if people think I'm a attention seeker? What would I do?!" Or something like that.
I had being diagnosed by a Psychiatrist
with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder), and everything is on this video is right.
Having this level of anxiety is so frustrating and horrible, but at least you can treat it. I take a pill every mornin, and I probably will have to live with it the rest of my life. The pill actually helps me to stay calm and focus, but I just can't stop living with fear, and I'm always thinking in the future and all the things than can or not come.
If you know a person with this condition, try and talk with them, make them talk with a psychologist, it is very important to have them with constant help... trust me, I know... my aunt can't left the house alone, she can't go to a shop by her own, she also needs help but she's extremely anxious to go and talk with a psychologist... my family is still trying to help her.
We are not crazy, this is a real condition and can be devastating for the family if isn't treat it like it has to.
(Btw, sorry for my basic english, I'm still learning and thanks for reading this, very appreciated 💚)
(If you respond this comment I probably wouldn't respond back- to scare to start a conversation about it but I have the minimum of confidence to share this with you all)
Having social anxiety is especially tough for me at work. I feel like I can’t move up because I’m so hindered by my anxiety in talking with others. I have feigned sickness before to avoid attending conferences and I’m not proud of it. I really question how I can progress my career and not eventually lose my job.
Me too and I lost my job. People didn't know I have SAD because I can chat with others like normal person. After they found me hiding at home when my SAD happened, they just thought I am lazy and shy. My only way to reduce the anxiety is taking medicine. I think people can't understand SAD triggered in non normal way, not just because of scaring to communicate with people. Hope you can deal with it, it likes a long journey but time can heal it better.
my social anxiety is so severely that i rarely leave the house. going to the movies is a BIG obstacle for me. i recently went to the cinemas this past Sunday with my siblings and we had to walk through the shopping center and it was packed with people. my heart was racing, my armpits were sweaty. i can feel the pressure building up that i wanted to just run to hide somewhere. upon entering the building even more anxiety was building up. i could see groups of people and them laughing which triggered my past when i was being made fun of in high school. and then they went to the bar to get alcohol while i sat and waited for them watching over the food. groups of people came out of the screening rooms and i began to stare at the wall trying to avoid eye contact but also not make myself look like a weirdo. i just wanted to get in that dark room and begin watching the movie. once we got in it was already packed and our seats were in the front so it felt like i was giving a presentation to everyone. i just kept looking down for my seat and then i sat down and we watched the movie and then leaving was the same. i just wanted to get in that car and go home. it sucks so much.
To anyone reading, you are a lovely human being who is beautiful/handsome and has blessed the Earth by merely existing. You may feel like the world is against you, but even if it is, you’re never alone. Ever. Please be kind to yourself and stay safe during these hard times!
Lots of love,

I’ve had severe social anxiety since the 7th grade. I’m starting high school today. This had been a very tough journey but I feel as though I’ve gotten better over the years. I have hope and honestly am a bit excited for school for once !! Wish me luck :))
I genuinely have to think about the way I’m breathing at school, in case I’m breathing wrong, and even blinking sometimes. I feel like people will judge and scrutinise me for every single thing I do, even though most people won’t. My mouth also feels so dry and I swallow excessively when Im anxious. It’s like the moment I go outside, everyone is watching me and judging my every move. I can barely in public, because I’m too self conscious and people will judge the way I’m eating. I hate my life so much, but I know a lot of people have it much worse.
I think my social anxiety first appeared after getting bullied in first grade after that, I've been really self-conscious about myself... I still get bullied a lot, being the quiet, weird, weak and isolated kid that I am. I have and will always be the perfect target to bullies
I don't cope with anxiety... It gets really bad sometimes. 😅
Mostly went I think about my kitten that died on new years because she died in my arms, I had the worst panic attack then. Or when I went to my first school dance with my fear of loud noises, darkness, crowds, and being alone. I froze up when I was in a crowd at Disneyland
This is my favorite art style, the cuteness and the calming color scheme just suits the channel super well
I can't say I've been diagnosed with social anxiety (never bothered getting analyzed for any potential mental health disorders), but I've definitely shown symptoms. What helped me most (I still struggle sometimes) is hard wiring into my mind to not take anyone's criticisms to heart, and letting myself feel worthy of the spotlight when I feel like everyone's looking at me. I don't really take myself too seriously, so most of what I do in public is for laughs anyway. That's what works for me, but I know it won't help everyone. Best of luck, and thanks for the video, Psych2Go! :)
I am so thankful for all your videos because I always learn something from them. I was extremely shy throughout my childhood and stuttered. As an adult I literally stuttered uncontrollably in public situations like at job-related meetings, therefore, I avoided providing any input. As a result I missed promotions though I was a wiz at number calculations and in computer work. Now I am retired and don’t have a single friend.
I fear that due to the pandemic if it stays as an endemic, there will be many more people suffering from social anxiety. My trouble stemmed from not being allowed to voice my opinions about anything at home by my parents nor by any of my elder siblings. They made me feel devalued and invisible. I was the last born, born much later.
When I was younger, maybe twelve or thirteen, we were fling a musical showcase for school, and I was going to sing a song with a few other kids. I was nervous, as I’d always been shy anyways, but I was determined to push through. My part in the song came, I opened my mouth, and nothing. I just stood there frozen, my mind completely blank as the entire school watched. And then there was laughter. It seemed to last forever until I remembered that I had legs and ran off stage. That’s where my social anxiety began. I can’t even talk to those people anymore, since I’m sure they will still hate me (they probably don’t, but my anxiety won let me get near them). And I promised myself that I would never put myself in a situation where I have to DO anything again with anyone, feeling so guilty for ruining everything and am constantly berating myself for it, and every bad thing I’ve done since.

Some days I can talk my heart out but others I can't ask a cashier for another glass of water...
same. like whenever im out with my family to get lunch, i get told that i have to ask for food myself when we are at a restaurant. i told my mom that i can barely even ask for a fucking drink cause if i do, i feel like crying after and i try to hold it in most the time. its so fucking hard dealing with it tho. cause i told my grandmother that i have social anxiety and she was like "well dont try to be like your sister and mom. you are your own person" and my sister and mom have anxiety so when she said that, i felt like having an anxiety attack or something. i wanted to cry. but like, im always talking alot at home and shit so idk lol
love how my “she’s so shy uwu” turned into “she has social anxiety owo”

Though being diagnosed with social anxiety I was starting to doubt myself, wondering if it was just my inferiority complex and major shyness.. So thank you for this, it really helped clear things up 🧡
This video was extremely helpful. I had been having panic attacks upon panic attacks. My parents were concerned about my mental health since I had been ignoring my teachers and I was pushing my closest friends away. I watched this video and rang up a specailist , I was diagnosed with severe social anxiety. So thank you in a way for helping me get the help i need. I'm now getting back to normal with my friends but I still freak out when I'm introduced to someone new. Unfortunately I lost most of my friends along the way but the ones that stayed were my true friends. Thank you again for helping understand myself and others! I greatly appreciated it
I'm the kind of person who just follows around one friend, because I get really anxious if I'm by myself even though I LIKE to be by myself. I feel like everyone is always judging me for everything. I remember in 5th grade once my friend was on a vacation for the week & I had no one to stay with, so I just hid in the bathroom at lunch. I also like to draw, so whenever someone would try to look at my drawing I would get so anxious, like idk I just am a really nervous person.
I can litteraly name like 20 situations in my past which haunt me to this day.
I dont think that will ever stop.
Cringing at myself is apparently the favorite activity of my psyche.
I find it interesting that social anxiety can be mistaken for many different things: shyness, introversion, and such. My mom mistook my social anxiety for "mild" autism. Because of this incorrect identification, she would put me in social situations so I could practice social skills. She had no idea that she was unintentionally setting me up for failure
1:29 corpse song 🥺
I realy like when they drow ppl we love💕
It’s...strange to me that i have almost all these symptoms, but the one thing i can say i don’t think I’ve ever had is a panic attack. I think panic attacks usually have hyperventilating and like just overall really bad reactions from your body.
I mean...idk if you could call this a panic attack, but i remember i was doing a practice singing on the mini stage in my class, i was partnered up with a friend and we had to sing a song in front of the class. Back in elementary school, I’d always get nervous but never anxious. In middle school, on that day, when i sang, i got really bad heart palpitations, i started trembling, my palms started getting sweaty, my body got extremely hot, which caused me to itch almost everywhere and my eyes welled up with tears. I don’t remember what happened, but i think i forced myself to keep singing, which made my voice shaky, which made me even more anxious because i felt like I’d get made fun of for it.
I'm diagnosed with social anxiety, after some sessions with my psychologist back in November. I've improved since then, and after watching this video, I think that I was the definition of social anxiety honestly, I can relate to all the points of this video easily, but fortunately with the help of a professional I'm now able to not stress that much in social moments. Thanks for the video as always!
I remember preparing for speaking in front of school for whole summer vacation . I still messed it up. After that i never went on stage.

I just want to tell someone about this but u know, social anxiety. So the UA-cam comment section is the only place.
So... my parents used to fight. I wasn’t involved in it i guess but there’s this one time my mom got so angry she yelled at me suddenly “NO TV!!” and grab the remote from my hand and threw it. I can still remember how scary it is especially when my dad shouted. Now even when my dad raised his voice to lecture my sister, I’m still traumatised by it
this has helped me know why I do some things, and now everyone that I have a close relationship with understands how my worst symptom, uncontrollable blushing that never stops, is just my main symptom due to it always feels like someone is watching me
I blush all the time too! and I hate when someone points out when I'm red, it's just make my anxiety worse
@@AndreaGErana good to know I'm not alone there!
I was waiting for a video like this! I'm shy but not socially anxious. I hate it when people use the terms interchangeably or as if they're one and the same.
Schools: no no, it is shyness, go make a speech in front of your class
My therapist is a cognitive therapist so she taught me how to challenge negative thoughts and cognitive distortions. It really has helped me to cut off my over analysis of my past social interactions.
i think i might have social anxiety and i’m gonna get a counsalor. Does doing therapy actually help get rid of anxiety?

"You need to get over this self-consciousnes"
-My mom
I both relate to, and am jealous of people that are “just shy”. I really wish I was just kind of shy and bashful around people, in a mild and charming way, and not my usual extremely nervous, too-quiet, too-rigid self. I think people can tell that I’m not like them, that I’m not as socially developed as they are, and so they just ignore me. If I was shy, they would just think “oh she’s just shy! I should keep talking to her to break the ice.”
I hope you are doing well! Have a nice day 💫

I just.. everytime I'm stepping outside of my house, overthinking, nausea & dizziness come to me. My mind sometimes even goes blank. Even for me to answer a question a teacher asks feels like such a difficult task. I'd always have to come up with plan how to not get anxious and overthink too much for am event or something I have to be facing later. I'm always scared that my plan would be ruined. Im so scared that I would tremble over my words, talk too slow or too loud, afraid of what people think of how I walk, what I wear, when I arrive, how I eat, etc. I feel so alone.
How about I don't like crowds watching me like I'll tremble and be anxious, but meeting strangers is not a problem since I'm quite friendly
I had a presentation before summer started. I was sweating, moving from a leg to an other, played with my fingers, couldnt look at the kids for less than 2 seconds, my voice was trembling, i forgot almost everything i had to say and i could feel my teacher judging me .I was so frustrated,scared and nervous and felling like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest it was even worse because right before i had the presentation we went to a museum so i didnt have time to prepare i told my teacher i was going to the bathroom and i started literally learning my sentences like a song and was so fast and got so scared. Anyway in the end i got like a seven (my partner got a 10) and i literally felt like i was gonna cry i got into the girls bathroom, locked myself in there and started crying silently so tbh i think i deal with social anxiety
Bro you thought I wouldn't see the Sykkuno character with the bean sprout on its head and the striped green scarf at the beginning
This is probably my favorite art style on this channel. So cute!
From 2nd to 7th that was me...guess It's not just shyness that holds me back from making friends...
(It even comes to the point where I lock myself in a room avoiding my family..)
I've had family members say I'm shy, every time I feel like saying and do say "It's anxiety!!". I watched this to see if this is the case, I'm still unsure though I do remember struggling with new settings for fear of embarrassment, humiliation, etc. the first day of school after homeschooling is an example of this, I still had anxiety going to school though the first day was the worst.
Any social event I went to, I always have anxiety. I refuse to say I'm shy because I really don't think I am. I am an introvert and a little bit of an extrovert, I prefer to keep to myself. I've noticed that talking to people I trust about what I've said and done has helped me improve socially, and not panic so much about the other person. Also discovering who I am and embracing that has really helped as well. I hope this all made sense, there was some emotion put into this because I really don't like being identified as shy when I'm not.
i think i might have anxiety but i dont want to self-diagnose and i also dont know how to tell my parents. :/
You should put the list of what you list in the video in the description. Love your videos!
Did anybody notice the CORPSE reference at 1:16 ?
I have a feeling that social anxiety will not leave my life it is effecting me so badly that I can't eat outside or anywhere I just have that feeling everybody's staring at me and I instantly feel nauseous and sweaty.

This really explains so much. For the longest time a lot of people thought I was shy, I did as well, until years later when I got an official diagnosis that I was not shy, but very socially anxious. I'm always thinking about conversations in Middle School and High School that I feel I made a fool of myself and think of better responses despite the conversation ending a long time ago. I want to stop thinking about those things but I can't unfortunately 😔
Great video as always Psych2Go!
My parents be like
*Socialize more!*
After a while:
*You need to be careful around people cuz everyone is evil.*
Me: So... can I not socialize then?
