i have social anxiety and i dont mind complimenting people, my only issue is how to give follow up reponse. 😂
- "Hey, cool shoes"
- "Thank you"
- "..."
Ask them more about whatever it is you are complimenting them about 😁
I just wish there should be a world where people don't have to interact in real life. This virtual is comfortable for me.. I'm not ok with talking to ppl other except 3 or 4 persons
@@itsmeorwhatever627and what will you do after tht?...... How am I supposed to leave ? Isn't it rude
super awkward feeling afterward
I have social anxiety and part of the reason I think is because I always feel pressured to come up with interesting and new things to say in response. Like literally everytime I start a conversation, they’ll just give like a vague/dry answer and I don’t know what to do. My mind just instantly feel blank so I either just try to come up with new things to say to fill the silence. That’s why I don’t do well with awkward people.
Same, I'm very awkward and have social anxiety. It's hard for me to get along with other awkward people, because they'll just give a dry/vague answer. Then feel extremely bad because I don't know what to say to that. It gets exhausting.
Recently, I've been starting to feel a tiny more comfortable about just saying stuff without any expectation of anyone saying in return and just throwing stuff out there. It's been a little bit better about lowering my own expectations, and just try to start to feel okay with there being awkward silences even if the other person doesn't know what to say. If I don't say it (what I currently am feeling like saying) then it'll just bother me anyway. The one thing that helps, is that if I'm talking to friends maybe they'll remember that in the future and make reference to it or they'll perhaps feel more open about sharing stuff about them to continue the conversation later. Even if it's not right now.
Social anxiety absolutely sucks and I've been struggling my entire life, it's so easy to just stay in your head when you have this condition. There's not really an easy fix to it, but I think with baby steps can help to cope with it at the very least.
@@jdncatUnderrated reply tbh I really appreciate this
And the other part is you have actually be connected to yourself and genuinely have a good time while having a conversation. Without it people will not stick to you
I have absolutely nothing to say.. I can see how awkward I make other people feel. I mirror my anxiety onto them. Ugh it's terrible!
SAME ITS FRUSTRATING
Im usually forgetful i see a lot of tips but when i try and use them irl situations they just blur away
Same :(
Yeah, it be like that 😔
True
Same , isn't there a cure to this?😔
@@psych7776 Jesus !
Good tips I'll forget them tomorrow 😅
Be here a month later again stoned, rinse and repeat 😂
😂
why like when i try to make eye contact to my teacher, my heart is like a stone and i start having my eyes look watery almost like crying
A lot of it is HOW you say it though. If you’re clearly nervous and not saying anything and then you randomly say “so…what do you do for fun?” And your voice is shaky or it comes off like you’re afraid to speak, it’s gonna make them feel really uncomfortable and now you’re just making your situation worse.
See, in my case, I have the self awareness to know that when I attempt to speak when I’m nervous, it just makes my situation worse because my voice projects fear, anxiousness and low value. This is why I’m mostly quiet in groups, I know that if I speak up I’m gonna isolate myself even more. One on one I’m completely fine, it’s just groups I can’t do, because if you mess up, now everybody knows, and everybody knows that everybody knows that you have low value. So you’ve just tossed yourself down to the bottom of the totem pole.
There is one problem.
I am social anxiety but with my friends I'm really open. And that is the problem, I open to people really easily and they seem like they don't care and it just makes it even more worse.
Yess i struggle with this too:(
What he talks about here are surface level communication skills. It's basically avoiding really looking at the anxiety. To really get to the depth of social anxiety to resolve it or live with emotional work or shadow work has been my biggest help. I can recommend the channel "sherpa within" for deep inquiry into the depths of fear, shame or whatever else.
When i see through the comments iam really there is more people like me i want someone who can talk to me about social anxiety it would be better if they have social anxiety
We are definitely all in our little shells lol
@@Haiyich ya 😄
Can we talk?
Hey everyone. Let's create a chat room for those with social anxiety😊
Great idea
These tips might be good for someone who may just be socially awkward, but for a person like my daighter who has severe anxiety....she wont even go anywhere to be around people, except work, because she has to go to make a living, but she is miserable all day, eats in her car alone to avoid having to be around people... she wont even stop and run into a bathroom if we are out and about, because she is afraid someone will see her and she may have to talk to them or answer a question she may not be able to answer.... she has a severy anxiety aroung the fear of the unknown... annything out of her normal daily routine.... how to you overcome that with just learning how to ask the right questions or say the right things in a social setting..... which sje could never get herself to even go to such an event????
Same thing I'm doing
This came at a really helpful time, thank you!
The problem is tho I am very very VERY insecure about my voice 😞
Also, if I go around all day making others feel good, I end up feeling spent. Especially when it is not reciprocated.
This really helped thanks!
Nice advice, but I frequently get accused of being patronizing and/or phoney when I do that.
As a supervisor it sucks. Gave up on myself for not being strong
In my case, the problem is that pretty much everything I have to say is about me, and when talking to others, I honestly don't think they wanna listen to stuff about me, so the best tip I have to fix this is to listen to what they say and have to say way more, and probably the best way to do this is to think of questions to ask to them and just ask them since it will keep a conversation going. The other problem is that, even though I'm aware of this, I always forget it when talking to others 🙃
These are all good, but I don’t know how I’d do any of them when I can’t even say hi or get out any words
Good advice 👍🏽
Thanks you for the subtitles 👏👏
I want to do all of this but whenever I have to talk to someone I don’t know I automatically cry even tho I don’t want to and I’m going into a middle school in a few days where all the teachers force us to introduce and shake hands and talk
I try talking to people. It takes a few minutes, but they will eventually back away and avoid me. So I know there is something wrong with me.
Rlly problem is I can’t handle social situations like being around ppl scares me to death
Thanks doctor ❤
Social interaction is tougher than rocket science!!
I am watching this for Omegle 😂😂😂
Dr Ali. I'm not sure if this common, but have you had clients who have trouble balancing the converstation equilibrium? These suggestions are good, but it always makes the other person go on and on only about themselves. It never becomes a two way street.
In a relationship, it gets exhausting when the other party tunes out from what you have to say and get interested only when it's about them. Do you have an idea on how to balance the conversational equation? Thank you.
If this works on my parents then it definitely works.
But the thing is the colleagues in my office interest don't match my interest so it is very difficult to start convo
Dear Doc Ali , much gratitude to your generosity 👍❤️
I Noticed anxiety since pandemic, whenever I have dinner, I feel anxious and bloating discomfort, please help me out..
Love from India
Search up Andrew Huberman breathing technique it helps me with anxiety
I can talk all day to 1 person, I have a client based business, and talking is easy for me. but group settings..., please dont ask me a question!🤐😳 😂
I study medicine and in my tution class there are literally 300 people....I don't even feel a bit awkward there ...but in a family function with relatives I feel like I'll die ...
Is there any tips about how to sign back up for your favorite sports?Reasoning is you are afraid of what people will think of you or how you will screw up this time 😊
All I need help with is all my friends say there introverts but I never ever get to speak 😭😭😭 And I also always feel left out and wish that I could get all my feelings out !!! 😭😭
Ugh mastered these. But I'm tired of always doing for others. No one interested in me I never get to speak about anything.
i think i have made a mistake this summer😅
Sooo at the end of my school year i was able to make eye contact and speak louder during presentations but... uhh this summer i have only spoken and seen my bff and my family and now when i go out i can't even look or speak or anything without having a panic attack soo idk how rhis school year is gonna go..😅
hello dr ali if you don't mind can i contact with you about something?
What if you don't care about what they have to say? 😬
but what if i could care less what they have to say?
But this would be like memorizing question from school and then repeat them when I meet someone... I just right now forgot the questions... that would make me even more anxious and feel bad and would zoom out while the other person is talking because I would be thinking "what was it that I have to ask?" and what about when they reply? I mean it is going to be a longer answer from the other person but then what?...
I am feeling better being honest... if I do not know what to say and the silence appears I would say: "sorryy, but I do not know that to say or what to talk about... and would laugh... and smile saying "it just sometimes happens"... and then if the other person wants to will say something and if that answer makes me feel better probably a reply will nicely come out from my mind... otherwiser I will think, ok at least I tried... because sometimes it is simply that the other person is not compatible so what for waste much more time really... we do not have to please everyone and also do not to have to like everyone either
But what if I don't care to have a conversation...
Hey Doctor Ali I have a problem of social anxiety.....and whenever I am in stressful, nervous or awkward situations my eyes get red and i get to feel a burning sensation in my eyes and tears often come out of my eyes....and i can't eye contact because of the burning even though I m confident at times:-(
The first thing you should do is speak to an eye doctor (if you haven't already). Explain the situation and make sure there isn't a medical complication here. Two friends of mine had exposure to chernobyl radiation and as a result experience eye pain and migraines that needs to be managed. Once you know if anything is happened there, THEN you can try some of the exposure strategies I discuss here: ua-cam.com/video/K24CS0mA5Fs/v-deo.html. Be sure to use some of the coping strategies I talk about here to reduce the impact of the symptoms you experience: ua-cam.com/video/xGb4fvfZpWM/v-deo.html. Good luck!
@@drali Thank you Doctor Ali for your kind advice.Love you so much!
