A lot of you asked us to make a video on overcoming social anxiety. Here it is!! Also what do you think about this animation? New animator worked hard on this video!
social anxiety really is something people underestimate.. people just think you get shy or nervous, and blame you when you don't wanna do certain things or do certain actions, but it's SO much more than just "shyness".
I came across one person that claimed they had it a long time ago only they just “snapped out of it” and got upset because it wasn’t that easy for others, including me
@@soulaanvon thats hard But don't get demotivated by that! If you really want, your gonna be able to get Out, Not with snapping but probably with lonag and hard Work 😊 I Wish you the best of Luck!
Mhm... Some people in my class (I have Been with them in one class for about 5 years now) don't even know my Name 😅 But It's important to know that It's Not Just being shy, thanks a lot for spreading a Word!
i'm not even shy...i just can't do groups. especially when they are already gathered when i arrive. like at a bus stop. if there is even one person there, my anxiety goes through the roof. but not shy...if someone speaks to me, i'll talk to them. it's more a sense of not being as _______ (good, smart, kind, just fill in the blank...)as the others.
i never considered myself an introvert even though i feel uncomfortable in social situations. the thing is I actually WANT to engage in being social and stuff. But when i try to i just get nervous and i just go BLANK for no reason. its terrible. thank you so much for making this video!
same here! i know this isn't really related but i mean it is kinda related to your comment, cause earlier i thought having voice chat on roblox would be fun oh boy, was i wrong... i tried to force myself to speak to someone and then my mind went completely blank, and then something really awkward came out of my mouth and i never spoke again and my heart was POUNDING after that.. social anxiety really sucks.
🌈In case u are in a hurry, here's what they go over but try watching the entire thing for more specific details!✨ 1. Create awareness 0:55 2. Engage in relaxation techniques 1:31 3. Try Yoga 2:13 4. Set goals 2:44 5. Make something 3:18 6. Therapy 3:56 🌈If ur reading this, I hope u overcome social anxiety and I know u will!! It's ok as I have mild social anxiety but we are all in this together and ur not alone!!
Here’s something that helps me since I’m just bad at talking to people: I sometimes just tell whoever I’m talking to that I’m bad at conversation and I get stressed about social stuff or something. It makes me feel better because then I know that the person knows I’m not good at talking and they will understand why I’m quieter and stuff. :D
This Sounds helpful but that Perfektionist in me tells me that im Not allowed to say since I have to be able to communicate without telling, otherwise I feel Like Not good enough to even Talk 😅 This May Sound weird, and kinda is lol 😊 But thanks for telling!
I've been living with an extreme social anxiety all my life (l'm in my 50s now, alone and probably will die alone) and this is the only way that works a bit, provided of course that your closest family accepts it. It doesn't stop the other people from judging you but it changes a bit how you process your emotions.
I hate it when people say "just get out of your comfort zone" First of all when the hell was being alone a comfort zone. I never felt comfortable having social anxiety. Its not easy to overcome it and I just wish some people could just understand. I love how you give us actual advice instead of telling us to get out of your comfort zone. And its not introversion or being shy. Those are totally different things.
i love how this channel takes social anxiety seriously, i feel like it’s usually portrayed as “everyone has it” and parents/adults don’t take it seriously because “it’s all in ur head/just a kid thing” like yeah it is but the fact that i feel like vomiting every morning before school isn’t just something to “get over”
Same but it’s worse when your worst fear is being included with people and vomiting in front of people, so I feel like I’m gonna vomit st school all the time and that feeling just makes it worse people really need to normalise vomiting more
god, im glad i'm not alone.. when i went to primary school, i had SUCH bad anxiety that every morning i felt really nauseous and this one day i vomited because i couldnt take it anymore and my mum forced me to go. on the way there , i had an extreme anxiety attack. i burst into tears and then suddenly i couldn't breathe. it was scary
Well we all make mistakes so keep that in mind and even if you think no one cares for you, someone you know cares about you even if you doubt it or even if you don't see it
The more you know about how people behave, the less nervous you are with them. One thing I've learned about people, is that they aren't focused on you. They are focused on themselves.
That makes three, then. 😅 Idk how long I’ve dealt with this for, I’m not diagnosed, I’ll admit that. But, I feel like anyone who has ever met me quickly noticed how anxious I got around them or just social situations in general.
hey, when it's about medical treatment you can seek for it even without your parents authorization, I don't know where you live but if you look for it online, there are places that offer therapy for free, mostly colleges
according to my parents logic, i should "just get rid of it." when i said i have anxiety and depression. never mentioned any of this to them ever again, if they ask if i'm okay my answer is always "good."
I was so afraid that my parents would have said that. But thankfully they didn’t. And I feel so bad when other parents say that it’s just a phase and you will grow out of it. Like seriously it isn’t a phase it’s something MORE serious😓.
My social anxiety shifted from being scared of people for a whole new reason once the pandemic started. I have a goal to be able to go into public places without a mask once I am vaccinated but that idea scares the hell out of me. In my mind I will be wearing that mask forever. Thanks social anxiety!
wait you too? damn I didn't know others also started using masks to cope with social anxiety when out in public. After covid is over I'm probs still gonna continue wearing a mask, it juts helps feel like safer
My social anxiety has gotten even worst, simple things like buying and going outside is so uncomfortable. I'm scared of what my future would be if i keep going this way, their high expectation towards me makes me sick. At this age, i still rely on my mother, i cant do things without her. I just wish to stay at home the whole time and don't attend school😢😭
It gets better the more you put yourself out here. I went from complete autist quiet kid with no friends to quite cool guy that hangs around sometimes, still I get nervous sometimes or worry what other think or get nervous around girls but it’s not as bad as it was. I rember when I was asked In class I got red face. I’m happy that I improved and I hope for More improvement
Don't worry, people always say "it takes practice" but it really does. Everyone is unique in their own way and I guarantee you at least one person is going to see that, once you see that one person it'll get easier with more people. You got this!
Hey! Just wear a black sunglasses, nobody won,t recognize your anxiety, you may still feel anxious but non other peoples won,t see what you,re feeling,because of sunglasses. Believe me it works. Sorrt my english is bad
Whenever i need to do group projects i just can't speak anything and think about anything even when i have many ideas... It's hard for me... This video really helped me
@@shanmathyv Same haha, but im kinda Just a Tool for everyone to write better Grades. Everyone Knowes that If they ist next to me, theyll get better in school but i actually hate that they do that because they don't want to interact with me because of me but because im very good in school 😅😊 Sorry I knda wrote that in rage hahahaha but anyway o Wish you the best of Luck! 🙂
I literally cannot knock on the doors of my best friends houses because I’m afraid that there siblings or parents will answer the door. Instead I text my friends and ask them to come and open the door for me.
Actually that sounds very practical. It saves a bit of time and confusion by directly alerting the person you want, rather than that sibling or parent having to go get them.
omg one time i was going to my friend's house, but i've never been to her house before so she sent me her address. like the idiot i can be sometimes, i went to the street next to hers by mistake, and rang on the doorbell and this teenage boy opens it and gives me a "wtf" look. i started shaking lmfao like i swear i could've passed out then and there.
AJSJS YES ME TOOOO, its just so AWKWARD for someone else to answer the door!! Luckily I'm able to just walk in through the basement door and screech like a rat and my friend will usually just be in her room and she'll screech back. But before I was comfortable enough to do that I'd always text her saying that I was there. She was just like ok? Come in then
I'm 26 and have finally started to get help about my mental health. My therapist has suggested we try EMDR, as there's a lot of stuff from my past that has heavily impacted my thought patterns etc. I've not had my first EMDR session yet - it's on Tuesday! I'm hoping I can finally start unlocking the future I dream about ❤️
I know you left this comment a year ago but I hope that you were able cure your anxiety. And if you’re not quite there yet I want to encourage you to just keep going. It’ll get better with time.
it feels like cameras are always watching you, and everything you do, even typing this out, is making me stressed because what if I spell something wrong or don't make sense. I hate it I always say no to outings with others and find myself getting sick at the thought of the mall or a party. it's so draining, and I hate it, but I hope one day I won't be like that, I'll go outside without thinking about people staring me down. Nobodies probably going to see this, but you're not alone. Do things that make you happy
Yeah I have social anxiety,being around alot of new people is hard for me. I'm new at my local skydive center,and meeting so many new people makes me nervous. It's been hard for me to get out and make friends,I dont have any currently. Trying to go out and make friends is proving hard for me.
Same. I try to go out everyday and interacting with people but I still don't have anyone, I don't think even having a good social skills will guarantee you will have friends, I do think this situation required a lots of luck as well. All we can do is have faith, be consistent and be patient.
thank you!! i had a panic attack after being out in public after a long time in quarantine and was really overwhelmed with the amount of ppl i kept seeing and felt really embarrassed, i appreciate this!!
The perfectionism really does hit close to home... but I didn't know that it had something to do with my social anxiety. I was always the kind of person who just wants things to be perfect and now that I think about it, there were many moments where I was either laughed at, judged, or harshly criticized by friends and family members when I did something, especially if that something is creative. I still deal with this despite going to therapy and I have discussed this with my therapist many times but I am trying to get better at it. Perfectionism to me has gotten to the extent that I end up pushing back or even scrapping projects no matter how far I've gotten in them because they might not be up to my high standards. I guess it's also because I am afraid of being judged in the things I do and I have noticed it slowly seeping into things I do daily such as what outfit to wear, how my hair is like, writing on notepads etc.
I feel like I'm judged. And I hunch my back a lot because people look at me I don't like going outside because i think people stare at me. I'm not sure if I'm just over reacting
yeah same I once was at a point where I broke down crying in my room because I needed to go to the store and the slightest bit of eye contact scared me But it's getting better now :D Very slow but better :3
I do that a lot too, my parents always tell me to fix my posture. I force myself to go on long walks sometimes and I get extremely uncomfortable since I live in the city and there are lots of ppl around. I’m usually sweating with a high heart rate by the time I get home and I just lie on the floor until I calm down
Hope you can recover and live a happy life! But at least you can feel comfortable in this comment section as everyone is sharing their experiences and can relate to each other’s issues
I think what would really help people with this is to partner them up with someone else with SA and get them to try new stuff together once they get to know each other so they don't have to try overcome it by themselves. I know that would definitely help me.
Finding ways to improve myself to be the best I can be in ways that are possible, such as cleanliness/grooming, style, and diet/exercise and not worrying so much about things I have little to no control over helped me to eliminate or decrease my negative reactions to my thoughts about whether I was being judged. You have to do something to get out of the hole you’re in; don’t wait for somebody else to save you. This is the same with any mental health issue. Tell a loved one, see a therapist if you have the money, or if money is an issue, there’s a lot of information online.
My anxiety has gotten to the point where I've been isolating myself a LOT within the past few years, and covid definitely didn't help. I've been going to therapy for my various mental health needs, but I'm still struggling to come out of my shell and try to make new friends. Thank you for this video 💙
I am not diagnosed with social anxiety but I really should consider getting a diagnosis for it, as a lot of these signs I do relate to. Im going to try to conquer whatever I have the best I can. To everyone who does have social anxiety, I wish you every luck trying to overcome it! Lots of love ❤️❤️
Social anxiety is a disorder, a phobia (and it comes with some paranoid and psychotic symptoms too) that affects greatly your quality of life, even if you think a certain way, your physical symptoms and the anxiety will be such you'll feel the need to avoid things altogether. Causing a constant struggle between what you truly want and what you eventually do. Procrastination, avoidance are a tendency. Examples are: going out at all, going out with friends, going to meetings or parties, going to the supermarket, going to a restaurant, to school, public speaking (like speeches or participating in class) , taking the bus, going out for a run or the gym, making calls or receiving calls, recording audio messages, and even sometimes texting!! Every single scenery where social interaction occurs (or doesn't, but there is still people present, like walking down the street alone) is a possible triggering situation, even performing in front of your relatives. The dread is very real and it is tiring being bombarded by constant stimulus. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is common in subjects (in my case it is constipation) , muscle spasms/tics, panic attacks, somatic symptoms, allergy. Feelings of frustration, anger, being powerless. Some do masking to get by. However, our levels of anxiety aren't the same everyday, some days we can feel quite relaxed and can chill out. True, our body and mind fears in an unreasonable way, but we actually like making conversation and want to bond with people, which explains why people with social anxiety can be social butterflies too :). People can grow out of some things as they age and learn more, therapy does help a lot, changing your mindset and opening up/letting go helps too, working on your self-steem is a priority as well. My anxiety now isn't as violent as when I was in my teens or childhood, it does subdue. But chronic mental disorders are a lifetime commitment, it is something to bear in mind. So another advice to people would be to surrender (not the same as giving up), surrender to who you are and embrace all your sides. The more you fight against your body, the more struggle you create for yourself. You are hurt, you are bruised, that is a part of you. Let yourself be awkward, let yourself have tics, let yourself act weird, be honest and upfront with your problems, don't be afraid to say you have a certain mental illness, ask for help, let yourself be wrong when answering a question, etc. Don't lie to yourself, only by embracing can you begin to heal. Trust yourself. Eventually you will be able to grow and protect yourself and others. Thanks to the channel for making psychology accesible to everyone and raising awareness on mental health, it's great.
I've had social anxiety all my life, hate it. Afraid to leave my house for anything. I can't even talk or connect with people. I tried going to a few different therapists but I didn't find it helpful, but it was nice to feel like I finally had a friend and someone to talk to.
OK, thank you so much. Social anxiety has made me scared of other people for years. Literally, I still am very scared of it, but I will try these tips. My heart beats so bad fast. I start crying for some reason. I don’t know why but anyways thanks it’s very, very hard to like be someone with social anxiety, I think social anxiety in my opinion is worse than anxiety just regular anxiety because you literally cannot go into big places like mall and stuff without stressing out about if I bump into someone or I get kidnapped like that stuff, but you don’t think of the bright side which affects peoples moods and they don’t want to go anywherewith me because I hate going places like very big. I got embarrassed at the mall because I was very very, very scared with my social anxiety.
or everyone suffering from social anxiety, try to give yourself challenges like: going to the supermarket, raise you hand in class, going for a walk. and think about how you should act at that moment. it helped me alot!
OMFG this gives me flashbacks of when my uncle came to our house to visit us and i just stayed in my room untill he got away, because my family always talks in japanese with each other, and I SUCK at it so im gonna embarrass myself.
@@nyaffein4932 i am :) even though i cant really speak japanese that well like i can understand what people are saying in japanese i just cant talk myself idk what it is-
I had really bad social anxiety back in the day when I was in high school & even after I got in to med school. Professional assistance along with bursting the bubble of comfort frequently and be prepared to embrace the whatever discomfort that comes along with it was the key to overcome my social anxiety to a point where I don't feel discomfort at the presence of strangers or social encounters anymore. Gotta be proactive about it & "No f***s given" mindset really helps alleviate it too.
I never ever try or encourage self diagnosing, but multiple times I’ve found myself struggling with the symptoms of social anxiety, even to the point of getting dizzy. 😔 I find myself avoiding many social setting and it really is becoming a problem. Thanks for the tips and good luck to anyone else struggling! 🙂🌱
I feel the nausea part. I just stopped going to school a couple weeks ago cause I couldn’t go without vomiting while I was there. Idk how I’m suppose to live with how I’m feeling lmao
Social Anxiety and depression are the main reasons my life has been a living hell.Over a decade of trying medication and mental hospital and neither worked that well im just a lost cause at this point. I would rather be dead then live another day on this planet im tired of suffering.
how about a normal therapist instead of being in a hospital? Because maybe just beeing in a hospital makes you feel more uncomfortable. I myself have to deal with lower social anxiety myself and I am going through an identity crisis right now. Since I´m not ,,healed" yet, I cant give professional advice, but someone else can. Just see it that way: a soccer player can be really good with one coach, that knows how to treat him and train him. But under a different coach, the player suddenly cant play soccer like he used to. I think you just need to find one person/therapist that understands you a bit better and fits you :D
I never had social anxiety really. In 2019 i had so much stress from school that both social anxiety and depression decided to come visit. After a year of relaxing, I’m slowly starting to realize that i dont get as anxious and its the absolute best! I wish every and each one of you the same!
I always say, the right people will understand. U don't have 2 explain yourself 2 the right people. If u talk, they will listen and if they care they will be patient with u and do their best 2 try and help u thru your struggles. They will be encouraging and supportive. ❤️🙏🏽
I really do get social anxiety that's why I prefer staying at my house, I never go Outdoors and what I really hate the most is if there's birthday parties,Gatherings, I always bring my airpods with me so that I can listen to music releasing my Anxiety
My father told me that if you have trouble talking to people, try small talk or just talk about the simplest of things that won’t make you over explain and just stumble your words, which is what I do and I was diagnosed with social anxiety(which I thought was me being an introvert), and if it’s hard with you even trying small talk, let other people control the conversation, but not too much to not allow you to share your opinion. Sometimes all people need is a little help in conversations, since not everyone is pro at them or know exactly what to say :D! (Sorry if this is bad explaining, I’m terrible at explaining anything)
Hey Psych2Go. I just really wanted to thank you for these beautiful videos you post for us. It's very, very, very helpful. They're all beautiful and helpful topics, explained shortly and crisply, making it easy to understand. The cute animation style of your channel relaxes viewers in such a way that we feel our problems aren't as huge as we think they are and we can overcome them. All in all, I'm really very grateful to your team for making these beautiful videos. *Thank you* ❤️❤️❤️
Whenever i’m in public i get so anxious i feel like i need to throw up and i just start wishing i could fall off the face of the earth and be forgotten
I probably don’t have it but random fact it takes me a whole year to open up my slightly chaotic side to my school- I think im just super shy without knowing it
I don't remember ever worrying about other people's opinions, at least not to a debilitating degree. It fascinates me, it often amuses me, sometimes it even angers me, but the only person whose reactions really matter in my universe is me. Other people can affect my choices or perceptions, but the final choice is always mine. 17 seconds into this video, and I plan to watch the whole thing as an educational exercise because maybe it will help me understand people.
Parabéns Gustavo pela edição deste vídeo e imagino a dedicação de horas por dias… Ficou muito bom, gostei bastante. O estilo dos personagens criados, a forma de animação e a narração interagem sincronizados com o conteúdo, falam a mesma linguagem. Ficou simples, direto, singelo e deixa o espectador grudado para querer ver e saber mais. Além de tudo, acho que deve ter sido muito gratificante para você ser convidado a fazer parte de um projeto desses que ajudarão muitas pessoas a dar o primeiro passo ou a continuarem subindo um degrau de cada vez, nem que seja um por dia. O vídeo vai ajudar muitos a compreender que, na trajetória toda do ser, o mais importante não é o resultado em si e sim o esforço realizado em toda a caminhada. É para esse esforço que se deve olhar.
Yeah, I've seen countless therapists for the past 22 years (since I was 12) and have been prescribed countless more medications for my social anxiety (which is so severe, that it has basically mutated into agoraphobia), and noone nor nothing (besides benzodiazepines, which good luck getting that prescribed long term), have ever helped. I won't leave my home for months and months (even long before we started quaranting). I can't work, have and hang out with friends, date (which means no husband and no family of my own). I can’t even go to my mailbox or sit on my porch, and I live out in the country. It’s so bad that I’m going to have to apply for disability and I’m only 34. What’s worse, is that this life is so lonely, it has exaserbated my major depression and caused me to try to commit suicide four times, which got me hospitalized each time. It's pretty bad. So, somehow I doubt yoga and relaxation techniques are going to make a difference for me. But thanks.
These videos are so nice, I love this channel. It makes you realize that, even though things may bad, you can acknowledge your problems and do something about them
It's like one of my darkest fear now. I will think about impressions of people about me, how embarrassing I will be, too much. Even in my first online class, I cry infront of my mom and tell about it and she say she will say it to my teacher. It's also causing one of depression to me again. I'm an intovert and ifnj, sometimes, when I meet new people, I will feel very shy and afraid of everyone. Thank you Psych2go! Take care ❤
Been Struggled with Social Anxiety for a years...Only now that I realised that it's not as bad as I thought.. Just remember to breath and think positive in every way..
@@MindNow @Mind Now Yeah I do meditate a lot.I meditate by using some meditation videos from the mindful movement.You might try to check it out later.I also set some goals.. Just write down the things that scare you on the paper and see which one is the easiest one for you to face it.Once you face it then continue facing all the things that you have write on the paper from the easiest to the hardest.. Always set a positive mindset before you do this..Remember,It's now or never...By the way,sorry if can't explain it properly since Im still learning to improve my english
From what I’ve learned after I received this diagnosis is there’s room for improvement and this isn’t forever. Mindfulness, focus on the sensations in your body, watch your diet, sleep right, stop masking and free yourself! Print this in your brain that none actually gives a shit except yourself, it’s mostly about self hate from what I’ve learned from social anxiety. Have rendezvous with people who make you feel at ease ( for me it’s older relatives ) and see them regularly. Even if the sensations come up and you feel unease, accept it and just let it slide away. Stay present and use all your senses :) looking at the ground makes you floaty, so try to stay engaged. Feeling anxious isn’t bad so trying to mask it will only end up in terror. BREATHE ! Hope this can be useful for someone :). Transform your thoughts, anxiety= thoughts+ overanalysing / beat yourself up = bodily sensations.
For me it's still a long journey and some of these helps me 1) Realize that there are 7++ billion people on earth and most likely they won't remember something embarrassing you did. 2) Make jokes with yourself. Usually some people would have a conversation but I'm too shy to participate so I ended up answering in my heart and made myself laugh with my jokes 3) Push yourself. This is a hard one but after a lot of practice I get better at talking to new people. 4) Recognize the things around you. What color is the person's shirt? Do they wear glasses? Are they wearing a watch? What color is the room? This makes me feel safe knowing I'm aware where I am and what surrounds me and distract myself from my thoughts.
I had social anxiety from an early age. I was comfortable only with my family and close friends. Whenever I meet new people I get anxiety, I felt uncomfortable with them and many odd thoughts would come in my head regarding how my first impression was, my body language, how I looked, if they liked me, and more........ and then I would kinda freaked out from the inside. As I grew up, I faced worse. Due to a personal trauma, I caught up depression, more type of anxieties and also went through a lot of panic attacks, but at first it was just about sadness and loneliness from a certain situation. Bcoz later on, it became something else, I got mood swings and felt a rollercoaster of negative emotions for no reason!!! It became something that was within me, my own mind, and I don't directly think of something like a past bad situation or event in my life........ I don't know its just like an..... Unexplainable, unspoken sadness. It was so hard for me to stay alive because everyday it was getting worse, I thought a lot about taking me own life and also about ways of how to die!! Like literally... But I never had the guts bcoz I was terrified of feeling pain coz one way or the other I had to feel pain to die...... So I just suffered for several months and felt like I had already dead and I was just wandering like an automated robot or a zombie. I didn't had any interest in anything or any enthusiasm in me..... Although I learned a lot of life lessons and realized many things about other people and myself in that time period, still all I felt was sadness and mental pain till date. At that time, I was also kinda willing to live in a loop of a moment in time forever where I had happiness inside of me bcoz at least it will be better than living though I wasn't alive. But it is not possible so then what could I do, I begged for happiness in my life from I don't know whom. I just begged!!! But no matter how much hope I kept or how much I craved, I begged, no miracle came along, nothing happened like it happens in movies. Nothing!.... Reality isn't kind in real like it seems in movies and it was not my choice to be in that state of mind... It felt like my life would be forever dark, empty, cold, lonely..... After a long awful battle, for some period of time, I finally overcame my mental illness by doing things that I was afraid of, but eventually after some time it comes back again, that hopeless feeling like I was being sucked out from my mind... It's like a never ending war, like battling with the water at the seashore, the waves just come and goes and come and goes by their own... and it's like whatever u do doesn't even matter, it's just so strong and so painful............ I had no one to share it bcoz I thought no one would understand. I told my sister, and I guess she understood for about a 30 percent but it doesn't matter bcoz she forgets it and like everybody else she is more focused on herself than others. So for the time being, I will keep trying to push away every negative feeling that comes in my head. I will keep trying my best to not react to my emotions and to keep calm and keep hope coz the sunshine in my life is yet to come. So I hope that everybody does it too.. don't ignore your problems, face them and try your best to overpower them. Be a conqueror!! U're not alone. Everybody else around you is fighting too...
The most important aspect to me is realizing that you are not that important in other peoples lives and that you must be genuinely interested in other people to overcome social anxiety and become more sociable
When my anxiety gets really bad, I feel as if I become very apathetic temporarily and also tend to become Passive Aggressive. Why does this happen? Afterwards I beat myself up over what I do and say during this time. It happens very often.
Well, ur kind of “protecting” urself. That’s why ur passive aggressive. Don’t beat urself over it though. Try to find ways to cope with it and find solutions. 🙏❤️
I do too or I do sometimes..when I do this I listen to calming music ,hug a plushie, 🧸go outside, or just take a nap but that's just me tho.😅you take care ok🌺🌸
Its Not unreasonable, These Things come automatically, instead of Beratung yourself Up it might Help If you try to find other ways to cope 🙂 But your Not alone with this thing, your never alone! Pls remeber that!😊
Thank you for this. I was always a social person and then suddenly i changed due to people around me hurting me over and over and i just got tired of even letting people in.
Thankss, yesterday I went to the movies and I couldn’t even ask for one ticket and I when I did ask I thought abt how I said it the whole night and I was thinking to myself how can I get over my social anxiety 😫
One of the things that I did to overcome social anxiety is, well it’s very hard and the reason I was able to do it because my mom made me do it but, even if you don’t wanna go to the public setting where there’s a lot of people at least give it a shot and do whatever you can to calm down. Start off with close friends and family and slowly work up to more friend meetups or parties. It doesn’t guaranteed you to be the social butterfly and be social but it helps fight irrational thoughts on its gonna be bad and when it’s better then you think you’ll eventually be less scared. That was one way for me to beat avoiding public settings and meetings like that. It may not be for everyone but it was one way for me to beat it. I still get very anxious and have those irrational thoughts of people judging me but I’m aware at least I beat the habit of staying isolated or staying in my house forever because I’m scared and it’s not much but little progress matters.
As a person with social anxiety I often feel like dying in public places that's y i pretend to be cool but I'm really ain't .. and I get anxiety thats y i get irritated at others so easily
I have also been ill for seven years and I want to go to a psychiatrist who can guide me, but I cannot at all. My family does not accept the idea of me going to a psychiatrist because they see that I am in good condition and do not need any doctor. Also, I live in a society that believes that only the mentally ill or crazy person goes to this. Places I have overcome some of my fears. I have a friend with whom I talk comfortably. My tension decreases when I talk to her. I begin to interact with a small group and they discuss questions, but when everyone listens to me and looks at me, I feel that my body temperature is high and I become nervous and shorten my words. I try hard to make eye contact, but I cannot. I cannot. I make eye contact for five seconds. Even my best friend, I don’t make eye contact with her much. I don’t know what to do or how I will act. I hope you can give me some advice that might benefit me. 💔🙂
Oh my God thank god I checked by notifs today (which I usually never check them). I really really needed this because I suffer social anxiety..alot. It is like a structure in my life blocking me from passing or moving on to life. I really needed this tysm omg.
I’m afraid of humiliating myself. Once I tried to overcome my social anxiety and do a presentation voluntarily… My hands were shaking uncontrollably the entire time and I wanted to run off stage and cry. I stood there and got through it all, but on the way back to my desk everybody told me how I was shaking so much… Never presenting again.
Since I'm going back to school in the fall, the mere thought of interacting with people makes my heart race and my hands sweaty.... I mean, I miss the classroom feeling and "people watching" [observing people through my little bubble], even talking about interests, but I tend to zone out and try to plan the whole conversation before it even happens.
A lot of you asked us to make a video on overcoming social anxiety. Here it is!! Also what do you think about this animation? New animator worked hard on this video!
Hi, have a good day.
Love it even tho i just saw it i love it
Aye.
Hai!! Can y'all pls do overcome depression?
Attractive ❤️❤️ n I love it ;)
Social anxiety feels like you’re in a movie and everyone has a script-except you
omg it does feel like this 😞
quite the opposite cuz u expect the same reaction from everyone cuz everyone is an npc if everyone were the same there would be no anxiety
this is exactly what i feel like
this is so well said
this is actually a perfect way to describe social anxiety omgg
social anxiety really is something people underestimate.. people just think you get shy or nervous, and blame you when you don't wanna do certain things or do certain actions, but it's SO much more than just "shyness".
I came across one person that claimed they had it a long time ago only they just “snapped out of it” and got upset because it wasn’t that easy for others, including me
@@soulaanvon thats hard
But don't get demotivated by that! If you really want, your gonna be able to get Out, Not with snapping but probably with lonag and hard Work 😊
I Wish you the best of Luck!
Mhm... Some people in my class (I have Been with them in one class for about 5 years now) don't even know my Name 😅
But It's important to know that It's Not Just being shy, thanks a lot for spreading a Word!
I get badly nervous even when teacher starts taking attendance, like I can't even say "Yes Sir" without shaking hands and raising heartbeats
i'm not even shy...i just can't do groups. especially when they are already gathered when i arrive. like at a bus stop. if there is even one person there, my anxiety goes through the roof. but not shy...if someone speaks to me, i'll talk to them. it's more a sense of not being as _______ (good, smart, kind, just fill in the blank...)as the others.
Definitely relevant. Not being around people for over a year, I worry about socializing again 🥴
Haha same...
I agree
Relatable AF
Its pretty hard at work, especially with customers :/
Mine was worst since im comfy now and im like. 👁👄👁
Her voice.. the animation... I feel so comfortable with it ...
Everything about this is so therapeutic
Yeah
her voice makes me bust
Exactly 😊
I agree 👍
i never considered myself an introvert even though i feel uncomfortable in social situations. the thing is I actually WANT to engage in being social and stuff. But when i try to i just get nervous and i just go BLANK for no reason. its terrible. thank you so much for making this video!
I feel you 😔
same here!
i know this isn't really related but i mean it is kinda related to your comment, cause earlier i thought having voice chat on roblox would be fun
oh boy, was i wrong... i tried to force myself to speak to someone and then my mind went completely blank, and then something really awkward came out of my mouth and i never spoke again and my heart was POUNDING after that.. social anxiety really sucks.
It's terrible😭😭
THIS IS SO SO SO SO SO RELATABLE

@@JustJade_718 aww thank chuu
yeah #6 is not an option. I dont have any money
Here’s something that helps me since I’m just bad at talking to people: I sometimes just tell whoever I’m talking to that I’m bad at conversation and I get stressed about social stuff or something. It makes me feel better because then I know that the person knows I’m not good at talking and they will understand why I’m quieter and stuff.
:D
Yes! That’s actually a very effective way!
This Sounds helpful but that Perfektionist in me tells me that im Not allowed to say since I have to be able to communicate without telling, otherwise I feel Like Not good enough to even Talk 😅
This May Sound weird, and kinda is lol 😊
But thanks for telling!
I've been living with an extreme social anxiety all my life (l'm in my 50s now, alone and probably will die alone) and this is the only way that works a bit, provided of course that your closest family accepts it. It doesn't stop the other people from judging you but it changes a bit how you process your emotions.
but what if ur social anxiety is so bad u cant even tell them that-
@@djxjxjdhdcixjsxixnsjxjx7132 then you should definetly see a therapist or in general do things that are recnomented in this video!
I hate it when people say "just get out of your comfort zone" First of all when the hell was being alone a comfort zone. I never felt comfortable having social anxiety. Its not easy to overcome it and I just wish some people could just understand. I love how you give us actual advice instead of telling us to get out of your comfort zone. And its not introversion or being shy. Those are totally different things.
Yh, it's not introversion or being shy, ppl need to understand that it's way different and more serious.
I always have this fear of being judge and noticed by others this thing always holds me from doing a lot of things in life
Yep then if i do something ill remember it for a very long time
😢😢😢😢
i love how this channel takes social anxiety seriously, i feel like it’s usually portrayed as “everyone has it” and parents/adults don’t take it seriously because “it’s all in ur head/just a kid thing” like yeah it is but the fact that i feel like vomiting every morning before school isn’t just something to “get over”
SAME Omg and just cause of that its hard to eat my breakfast
Same but it’s worse when your worst fear is being included with people and vomiting in front of people, so I feel like I’m gonna vomit st school all the time and that feeling just makes it worse people really need to normalise vomiting more
god, im glad i'm not alone.. when i went to primary school, i had SUCH bad anxiety that every morning i felt really nauseous and this one day i vomited because i couldnt take it anymore and my mum forced me to go. on the way there , i had an extreme anxiety attack. i burst into tears and then suddenly i couldn't breathe. it was scary
Same I feel vomiting before going to school especially if theres a oral presentation and I have to do it infront of my classmates and teacher😢
i just wish people in my life knew about my suffering 😓
My anxiety : all people is watching you and will laugh if you make any mistake
My depression : no one will care about you because you are a failure
How do u overcome these?
same 😭
so true😞
Well we all make mistakes so keep that in mind and even if you think no one cares for you, someone you know cares about you even if you doubt it or even if you don't see it
Same😒How can overcome this problem?
The more you know about how people behave, the less nervous you are with them. One thing I've learned about people, is that they aren't focused on you. They are focused on themselves.
Yep...
People had too many problems to shifted their focus onto some quiet awkward guy/girl they see on the streets.
A therapist told me the same thing once. It really does help.
Everyone’s fighting demons in their head
Thanks for saying this
WELP, I NEEDED THIS ONE-
You and me both brother
That makes three, then. 😅
Idk how long I’ve dealt with this for, I’m not diagnosed, I’ll admit that. But, I feel like anyone who has ever met me quickly noticed how anxious I got around them or just social situations in general.
To anyone in this reply section and to the original commenter, I hope you guys are doing well!

i would go to a doctor, but my mom says "its just a phase" "you're just lazy" "its all in your head' YEAH ITS IN MY HEAD ITS A MENTAL ILLNESS
So true
hey, when it's about medical treatment you can seek for it even without your parents authorization, I don't know where you live but if you look for it online, there are places that offer therapy for free, mostly colleges
according to my parents logic, i should "just get rid of it." when i said i have anxiety and depression. never mentioned any of this to them ever again, if they ask if i'm okay my answer is always "good."
I was so afraid that my parents would have said that. But thankfully they didn’t. And I feel so bad when other parents say that it’s just a phase and you will grow out of it. Like seriously it isn’t a phase it’s something MORE serious😓.
It literally translates to a sickness in the mind, so your aren’t wrong. It’s not a phase, it’s permanent.
Whenever i'm put in group projects I can't breathe and shake. I hate it I wish I could just be normal

From someone who fights social anxiety and other mental conditions for 5 years now thank you for this video.
Sometimes I question how I turned like this. I just wanna be able to be myself and not torture myself over little things
Same
My social anxiety shifted from being scared of people for a whole new reason once the pandemic started. I have a goal to be able to go into public places without a mask once I am vaccinated but that idea scares the hell out of me. In my mind I will be wearing that mask forever. Thanks social anxiety!
wait you too? damn I didn't know others also started using masks to cope with social anxiety when out in public. After covid is over I'm probs still gonna continue wearing a mask, it juts helps feel like safer
If you feel comfortable and safe from others while wearing a mask, you probably have social anxiety. Thanks quarantine!
Pls wear a mask.. for the sake of others.
@@nuggetman1493 of course, it's for myself as well though.
Sameee
My social anxiety has gotten even worst, simple things like buying and going outside is so uncomfortable. I'm scared of what my future would be if i keep going this way, their high expectation towards me makes me sick. At this age, i still rely on my mother, i cant do things without her. I just wish to stay at home the whole time and don't attend school😢😭
It gets better the more you put yourself out here. I went from complete autist quiet kid with no friends to quite cool guy that hangs around sometimes, still I get nervous sometimes or worry what other think or get nervous around girls but it’s not as bad as it was. I rember when I was asked In class I got red face. I’m happy that I improved and I hope for More improvement
Baby girl your gonna be fine. ❤❤
Don't worry, people always say "it takes practice" but it really does. Everyone is unique in their own way and I guarantee you at least one person is going to see that, once you see that one person it'll get easier with more people. You got this!
Hey! Just wear a black sunglasses, nobody won,t recognize your anxiety, you may still feel anxious but non other peoples won,t see what you,re feeling,because of sunglasses. Believe me it works. Sorrt my english is bad

About what thing in yourself your anxious about ???
@@riotghostr It's not normal lol. I knew when everyone in my class has no problems socializing and I do.
I literally cannot knock on the doors of my best friends houses because I’m afraid that there siblings or parents will answer the door. Instead I text my friends and ask them to come and open the door for me.
Actually that sounds very practical. It saves a bit of time and confusion by directly alerting the person you want, rather than that sibling or parent having to go get them.
OMFG same.
omg one time i was going to my friend's house, but i've never been to her house before so she sent me her address. like the idiot i can be sometimes, i went to the street next to hers by mistake, and rang on the doorbell and this teenage boy opens it and gives me a "wtf" look. i started shaking lmfao like i swear i could've passed out then and there.
AJSJS YES ME TOOOO, its just so AWKWARD for someone else to answer the door!! Luckily I'm able to just walk in through the basement door and screech like a rat and my friend will usually just be in her room and she'll screech back. But before I was comfortable enough to do that I'd always text her saying that I was there. She was just like ok? Come in then
Samee obit my friend always has her phones taken so I’m always just lonely but it’s ok
I'm 26 and have finally started to get help about my mental health. My therapist has suggested we try EMDR, as there's a lot of stuff from my past that has heavily impacted my thought patterns etc. I've not had my first EMDR session yet - it's on Tuesday! I'm hoping I can finally start unlocking the future I dream about ❤️
Wish you luck 🙂
@@j_petrovscaia thank you 😊
Edmr?
I know you left this comment a year ago but I hope that you were able cure your anxiety. And if you’re not quite there yet I want to encourage you to just keep going. It’ll get better with time.
it feels like cameras are always watching you, and everything you do, even typing this out, is making me stressed because what if I spell something wrong or don't make sense. I hate it I always say no to outings with others and find myself getting sick at the thought of the mall or a party. it's so draining, and I hate it, but I hope one day I won't be like that, I'll go outside without thinking about people staring me down. Nobodies probably going to see this, but you're not alone. Do things that make you happy
Yeah I have social anxiety,being around alot of new people is hard for me. I'm new at my local skydive center,and meeting so many new people makes me nervous. It's been hard for me to get out and make friends,I dont have any currently. Trying to go out and make friends is proving hard for me.
Same. I try to go out everyday and interacting with people but I still don't have anyone, I don't think even having a good social skills will guarantee you will have friends, I do think this situation required a lots of luck as well. All we can do is have faith, be consistent and be patient.
break out rooms in online class is *hell* for people with social anxiety, i always just say nothing and pretend that my mic doesnt work lol.

I need to try these :0 😂 I have bad social anxiety ._.
same.
Same, like I want to talk to people normally and not isolate myself but it's so hard :(
So true people think I’m quite and then I told my mom I had no friends and she said you need to socialize more only if she knew...
It's too late for me, everybody already knows me as the quiet kid, i JUST CAN'T suddenly change, waiting for college to start brand new as myself
The perfectionism really does hit close to home... but I didn't know that it had something to do with my social anxiety. I was always the kind of person who just wants things to be perfect and now that I think about it, there were many moments where I was either laughed at, judged, or harshly criticized by friends and family members when I did something, especially if that something is creative. I still deal with this despite going to therapy and I have discussed this with my therapist many times but I am trying to get better at it. Perfectionism to me has gotten to the extent that I end up pushing back or even scrapping projects no matter how far I've gotten in them because they might not be up to my high standards. I guess it's also because I am afraid of being judged in the things I do and I have noticed it slowly seeping into things I do daily such as what outfit to wear, how my hair is like, writing on notepads etc.
I developed OCD due to social anxiety...
You`ve Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
I feel like I'm judged. And I hunch my back a lot because people look at me I don't like going outside because i think people stare at me. I'm not sure if I'm just over reacting
yeah same
I once was at a point where I broke down crying in my room because I needed to go to the store and the slightest bit of eye contact scared me
But it's getting better now :D
Very slow but better :3
I do that a lot too, my parents always tell me to fix my posture. I force myself to go on long walks sometimes and I get extremely uncomfortable since I live in the city and there are lots of ppl around. I’m usually sweating with a high heart rate by the time I get home and I just lie on the floor until I calm down
I've suffered all my life with SA. Therapy didn't help because I was too afraid to do anything.😔❤️

Hope you can recover and live a happy life! But at least you can feel comfortable in this comment section as everyone is sharing their experiences and can relate to each other’s issues
ua-cam.com/video/g9QE_3iQWYw/v-deo.html
Me too
I think what would really help people with this is to partner them up with someone else with SA and get them to try new stuff together once they get to know each other so they don't have to try overcome it by themselves. I know that would definitely help me.
Finding ways to improve myself to be the best I can be in ways that are possible, such as cleanliness/grooming, style, and diet/exercise and not worrying so much about things I have little to no control over helped me to eliminate or decrease my negative reactions to my thoughts about whether I was being judged.
You have to do something to get out of the hole you’re in; don’t wait for somebody else to save you. This is the same with any mental health issue. Tell a loved one, see a therapist if you have the money, or if money is an issue, there’s a lot of information online.
I tapped on this as soon as I saw it. That probably means I have social anixity and know it
Same here
This video is on how to overcome it. Hopefully if it ever happens, you’ll know what to do
I'd say the same 😩
How do u go about it?
Same 😅🙃
My anxiety has gotten to the point where I've been isolating myself a LOT within the past few years, and covid definitely didn't help. I've been going to therapy for my various mental health needs, but I'm still struggling to come out of my shell and try to make new friends. Thank you for this video 💙
Unfortunately art therapy isn't an option right now due to severe chronic hand pain 😞 I really really hope it gets better though !!!!!!!
I am not diagnosed with social anxiety but I really should consider getting a diagnosis for it, as a lot of these signs I do relate to. Im going to try to conquer whatever I have the best I can. To everyone who does have social anxiety, I wish you every luck trying to overcome it! Lots of love ❤️❤️
Social anxiety is a disorder, a phobia (and it comes with some paranoid and psychotic symptoms too) that affects greatly your quality of life, even if you think a certain way, your physical symptoms and the anxiety will be such you'll feel the need to avoid things altogether. Causing a constant struggle between what you truly want and what you eventually do. Procrastination, avoidance are a tendency. Examples are: going out at all, going out with friends, going to meetings or parties, going to the supermarket, going to a restaurant, to school, public speaking (like speeches or participating in class) , taking the bus, going out for a run or the gym, making calls or receiving calls, recording audio messages, and even sometimes texting!! Every single scenery where social interaction occurs (or doesn't, but there is still people present, like walking down the street alone) is a possible triggering situation, even performing in front of your relatives. The dread is very real and it is tiring being bombarded by constant stimulus. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is common in subjects (in my case it is constipation) , muscle spasms/tics, panic attacks, somatic symptoms, allergy. Feelings of frustration, anger, being powerless. Some do masking to get by. However, our levels of anxiety aren't the same everyday, some days we can feel quite relaxed and can chill out. True, our body and mind fears in an unreasonable way, but we actually like making conversation and want to bond with people, which explains why people with social anxiety can be social butterflies too :). People can grow out of some things as they age and learn more, therapy does help a lot, changing your mindset and opening up/letting go helps too, working on your self-steem is a priority as well. My anxiety now isn't as violent as when I was in my teens or childhood, it does subdue. But chronic mental disorders are a lifetime commitment, it is something to bear in mind. So another advice to people would be to surrender (not the same as giving up), surrender to who you are and embrace all your sides. The more you fight against your body, the more struggle you create for yourself. You are hurt, you are bruised, that is a part of you. Let yourself be awkward, let yourself have tics, let yourself act weird, be honest and upfront with your problems, don't be afraid to say you have a certain mental illness, ask for help, let yourself be wrong when answering a question, etc. Don't lie to yourself, only by embracing can you begin to heal. Trust yourself. Eventually you will be able to grow and protect yourself and others.
Thanks to the channel for making psychology accesible to everyone and raising awareness on mental health, it's great.
I've had social anxiety all my life, hate it. Afraid to leave my house for anything. I can't even talk or connect with people. I tried going to a few different therapists but I didn't find it helpful, but it was nice to feel like I finally had a friend and someone to talk to.

OK, thank you so much. Social anxiety has made me scared of other people for years. Literally, I still am very scared of it, but I will try these tips. My heart beats so bad fast. I start crying for some reason. I don’t know why but anyways thanks it’s very, very hard to like be someone with social anxiety, I think social anxiety in my opinion is worse than anxiety just regular anxiety because you literally cannot go into big places like mall and stuff without stressing out about if I bump into someone or I get kidnapped like that stuff, but you don’t think of the bright side which affects peoples moods and they don’t want to go anywherewith me because I hate going places like very big. I got embarrassed at the mall because I was very very, very scared with my social anxiety.
or everyone suffering from social anxiety, try to give yourself challenges like: going to the supermarket, raise you hand in class, going for a walk. and think about how you should act at that moment. it helped me alot!

I loved the little paimon alarm clock, and wind slime pillow.
I had really bad social anxiety back in the day when I was in high school & even after I got in to med school. Professional assistance along with bursting the bubble of comfort frequently and be prepared to embrace the whatever discomfort that comes along with it was the key to overcome my social anxiety to a point where I don't feel discomfort at the presence of strangers or social encounters anymore. Gotta be proactive about it & "No f***s given" mindset really helps alleviate it too.
As an artist with social anxiety , I love to draw out my emotions to help calm me down . It really works :]
I never ever try or encourage self diagnosing, but multiple times I’ve found myself struggling with the symptoms of social anxiety, even to the point of getting dizzy. 😔 I find myself avoiding many social setting and it really is becoming a problem. Thanks for the tips and good luck to anyone else struggling! 🙂🌱
I’m scared about getting a job because when I try to talk to people my social anxiety is so bad to the point where I’m so awkward and nervous 😅

Social Anxiety and depression are the main reasons my life has been a living hell.Over a decade of trying medication and mental hospital and neither worked that well im just a lost cause at this point.
I would rather be dead then live another day on this planet im tired of suffering.
how about a normal therapist instead of being in a hospital? Because maybe just beeing in a hospital makes you feel more uncomfortable. I myself have to deal with lower social anxiety myself and I am going through an identity crisis right now. Since I´m not ,,healed" yet, I cant give professional advice, but someone else can. Just see it that way: a soccer player can be really good with one coach, that knows how to treat him and train him. But under a different coach, the player suddenly cant play soccer like he used to. I think you just need to find one person/therapist that understands you a bit better and fits you :D

I really do get social anxiety that's why I prefer staying at my house, I never go Outdoors and what I really hate the most is if there's birthday parties,Gatherings, I always bring my airpods with me so that I can listen to music releasing my Anxiety
My father told me that if you have trouble talking to people, try small talk or just talk about the simplest of things that won’t make you over explain and just stumble your words, which is what I do and I was diagnosed with social anxiety(which I thought was me being an introvert), and if it’s hard with you even trying small talk, let other people control the conversation, but not too much to not allow you to share your opinion. Sometimes all people need is a little help in conversations, since not everyone is pro at them or know exactly what to say :D! (Sorry if this is bad explaining, I’m terrible at explaining anything)

I probably don’t have it but random fact it takes me a whole year to open up my slightly chaotic side to my school-
I think im just super shy without knowing it
Don’t worry about it too much. Just do ur best 😊
I don't remember ever worrying about other people's opinions, at least not to a debilitating degree. It fascinates me, it often amuses me, sometimes it even angers me, but the only person whose reactions really matter in my universe is me. Other people can affect my choices or perceptions, but the final choice is always mine. 17 seconds into this video, and I plan to watch the whole thing as an educational exercise because maybe it will help me understand people.
Parabéns Gustavo pela edição deste vídeo e imagino a dedicação de horas por dias… Ficou muito bom, gostei bastante. O estilo dos personagens criados, a forma de animação e a narração interagem sincronizados com o conteúdo, falam a mesma linguagem. Ficou simples, direto, singelo e deixa o espectador grudado para querer ver e saber mais. Além de tudo, acho que deve ter sido muito gratificante para você ser convidado a fazer parte de um projeto desses que ajudarão muitas pessoas a dar o primeiro passo ou a continuarem subindo um degrau de cada vez, nem que seja um por dia. O vídeo vai ajudar muitos a compreender que, na trajetória toda do ser, o mais importante não é o resultado em si e sim o esforço realizado em toda a caminhada. É para esse esforço que se deve olhar.
Yeah, I've seen countless therapists for the past 22 years (since I was 12) and have been prescribed countless more medications for my social anxiety (which is so severe, that it has basically mutated into agoraphobia), and noone nor nothing (besides benzodiazepines, which good luck getting that prescribed long term), have ever helped. I won't leave my home for months and months (even long before we started quaranting). I can't work, have and hang out with friends, date (which means no husband and no family of my own). I can’t even go to my mailbox or sit on my porch, and I live out in the country. It’s so bad that I’m going to have to apply for disability and I’m only 34. What’s worse, is that this life is so lonely, it has exaserbated my major depression and caused me to try to commit suicide four times, which got me hospitalized each time. It's pretty bad. So, somehow I doubt yoga and relaxation techniques are going to make a difference for me. But thanks.
I dont know if I have social anxiety,but I really think I do. I'm trying to get up the courage to tell my mom. Thank you for this!
These videos are so nice, I love this channel. It makes you realize that, even though things may bad, you can acknowledge your problems and do something about them
I'm tired of feeling this way it sucks
It's like one of my darkest fear now. I will think about impressions of people about me, how embarrassing I will be, too much. Even in my first online class, I cry infront of my mom and tell about it and she say she will say it to my teacher. It's also causing one of depression to me again. I'm an intovert and ifnj, sometimes, when I meet new people, I will feel very shy and afraid of everyone. Thank you Psych2go! Take care ❤
I do all of these things to combat anxiety, especially deep breathing.
Social anxiety can be such a pain. I wouldn’t even wish it on any of my enemies.
Been Struggled with Social Anxiety for a years...Only now that I realised that it's not as bad as I thought.. Just remember to breath and think positive in every way..
Do u also meditate? Or what are other methods that u use?
Yeah am trying to do my best with that..it's not easy but nothing truly is but it does get a bit easier tho.🙂
@@MindNow @Mind Now Yeah I do meditate a lot.I meditate by using some meditation videos from the mindful movement.You might try to check it out later.I also set some goals.. Just write down the things that scare you on the paper and see which one is the easiest one for you to face it.Once you face it then continue facing all the things that you have write on the paper from the easiest to the hardest.. Always set a positive mindset before you do this..Remember,It's now or never...By the way,sorry if can't explain it properly since Im still learning to improve my english
@@wenm_9489 thank u for that 🙏❤️
From what I’ve learned after I received this diagnosis is there’s room for improvement and this isn’t forever. Mindfulness, focus on the sensations in your body, watch your diet, sleep right, stop masking and free yourself! Print this in your brain that none actually gives a shit except yourself, it’s mostly about self hate from what I’ve learned from social anxiety. Have rendezvous with people who make you feel at ease ( for me it’s older relatives ) and see them regularly. Even if the sensations come up and you feel unease, accept it and just let it slide away. Stay present and use all your senses :) looking at the ground makes you floaty, so try to stay engaged. Feeling anxious isn’t bad so trying to mask it will only end up in terror. BREATHE ! Hope this can be useful for someone :). Transform your thoughts, anxiety= thoughts+ overanalysing / beat yourself up = bodily sensations.
My socialphobia is SOOO BAD OMG. I can't even talk to people online anymore..
Same and it used to be something I was good at. Its hard to interact online now unless it's discord but that one so hard to find someone
For me it's still a long journey and some of these helps me
1) Realize that there are 7++ billion people on earth and most likely they won't remember something embarrassing you did.
2) Make jokes with yourself. Usually some people would have a conversation but I'm too shy to participate so I ended up answering in my heart and made myself laugh with my jokes
3) Push yourself. This is a hard one but after a lot of practice I get better at talking to new people.
4) Recognize the things around you. What color is the person's shirt?
Do they wear glasses?
Are they wearing a watch?
What color is the room?
This makes me feel safe knowing I'm aware where I am and what surrounds me and distract myself from my thoughts.
I had social anxiety from an early age. I was comfortable only with my family and close friends. Whenever I meet new people I get anxiety, I felt uncomfortable with them and many odd thoughts would come in my head regarding how my first impression was, my body language, how I looked, if they liked me, and more........ and then I would kinda freaked out from the inside. As I grew up, I faced worse. Due to a personal trauma, I caught up depression, more type of anxieties and also went through a lot of panic attacks, but at first it was just about sadness and loneliness from a certain situation. Bcoz later on, it became something else, I got mood swings and felt a rollercoaster of negative emotions for no reason!!! It became something that was within me, my own mind, and I don't directly think of something like a past bad situation or event in my life........ I don't know its just like an..... Unexplainable, unspoken sadness. It was so hard for me to stay alive because everyday it was getting worse, I thought a lot about taking me own life and also about ways of how to die!! Like literally... But I never had the guts bcoz I was terrified of feeling pain coz one way or the other I had to feel pain to die...... So I just suffered for several months and felt like I had already dead and I was just wandering like an automated robot or a zombie. I didn't had any interest in anything or any enthusiasm in me..... Although I learned a lot of life lessons and realized many things about other people and myself in that time period, still all I felt was sadness and mental pain till date. At that time, I was also kinda willing to live in a loop of a moment in time forever where I had happiness inside of me bcoz at least it will be better than living though I wasn't alive. But it is not possible so then what could I do, I begged for happiness in my life from I don't know whom. I just begged!!! But no matter how much hope I kept or how much I craved, I begged, no miracle came along, nothing happened like it happens in movies. Nothing!.... Reality isn't kind in real like it seems in movies and it was not my choice to be in that state of mind... It felt like my life would be forever dark, empty, cold, lonely..... After a long awful battle, for some period of time, I finally overcame my mental illness by doing things that I was afraid of, but eventually after some time it comes back again, that hopeless feeling like I was being sucked out from my mind... It's like a never ending war, like battling with the water at the seashore, the waves just come and goes and come and goes by their own... and it's like whatever u do doesn't even matter, it's just so strong and so painful............ I had no one to share it bcoz I thought no one would understand. I told my sister, and I guess she understood for about a 30 percent but it doesn't matter bcoz she forgets it and like everybody else she is more focused on herself than others. So for the time being, I will keep trying to push away every negative feeling that comes in my head. I will keep trying my best to not react to my emotions and to keep calm and keep hope coz the sunshine in my life is yet to come. So I hope that everybody does it too.. don't ignore your problems, face them and try your best to overpower them. Be a conqueror!! U're not alone. Everybody else around you is fighting too...
thats sad
🥹💔
Your voice is smooth enough to relax me lol, you got very lucky!
To anyone reading this comment ..may god bless you
Don't give up just because things are tough, something beautiful might be waiting for you ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
The most important aspect to me is realizing that you are not that important in other peoples lives and that you must be genuinely interested in other people to overcome social anxiety and become more sociable
When my anxiety gets really bad, I feel as if I become very apathetic temporarily and also tend to become Passive Aggressive.
Why does this happen? Afterwards I beat myself up over what I do and say during this time. It happens very often.
Well, ur kind of “protecting” urself. That’s why ur passive aggressive. Don’t beat urself over it though. Try to find ways to cope with it and find solutions. 🙏❤️
I do too or I do sometimes..when I do this I listen to calming music ,hug a plushie, 🧸go outside, or just take a nap but that's just me tho.😅you take care ok🌺🌸
Its Not unreasonable, These Things come automatically, instead of Beratung yourself Up it might Help If you try to find other ways to cope 🙂
But your Not alone with this thing, your never alone! Pls remeber that!😊

this video just layed out what i wanna say i want to state my gratefullnes for this channel genuinly
Thankss, yesterday I went to the movies and I couldn’t even ask for one ticket and I when I did ask I thought abt how I said it the whole night and I was thinking to myself how can I get over my social anxiety 😫
*Sending virtual hug*
This can 'eat one Up', but i Hope that youll be able to overcome it!
One of the things that I did to overcome social anxiety is, well it’s very hard and the reason I was able to do it because my mom made me do it but, even if you don’t wanna go to the public setting where there’s a lot of people at least give it a shot and do whatever you can to calm down. Start off with close friends and family and slowly work up to more friend meetups or parties. It doesn’t guaranteed you to be the social butterfly and be social but it helps fight irrational thoughts on its gonna be bad and when it’s better then you think you’ll eventually be less scared. That was one way for me to beat avoiding public settings and meetings like that. It may not be for everyone but it was one way for me to beat it. I still get very anxious and have those irrational thoughts of people judging me but I’m aware at least I beat the habit of staying isolated or staying in my house forever because I’m scared and it’s not much but little progress matters.
As a person with social anxiety
I often feel like dying in public places that's y i pretend to be cool but I'm really ain't .. and I get anxiety thats y i get irritated at others so easily
Real
I have also been ill for seven years and I want to go to a psychiatrist who can guide me, but I cannot at all. My family does not accept the idea of me going to a psychiatrist because they see that I am in good condition and do not need any doctor. Also, I live in a society that believes that only the mentally ill or crazy person goes to this. Places I have overcome some of my fears. I have a friend with whom I talk comfortably. My tension decreases when I talk to her. I begin to interact with a small group and they discuss questions, but when everyone listens to me and looks at me, I feel that my body temperature is high and I become nervous and shorten my words. I try hard to make eye contact, but I cannot. I cannot. I make eye contact for five seconds. Even my best friend, I don’t make eye contact with her much. I don’t know what to do or how I will act. I hope you can give me some advice that might benefit me. 💔🙂
I really needed this one
Oh my God thank god I checked by notifs today (which I usually never check them). I really really needed this because I suffer social anxiety..alot. It is like a structure in my life blocking me from passing or moving on to life. I really needed this tysm omg.
I have been dealing with this for 3 years now, ill try to do these things and see if they help, thank you!
I’m afraid of humiliating myself. Once I tried to overcome my social anxiety and do a presentation voluntarily… My hands were shaking uncontrollably the entire time and I wanted to run off stage and cry. I stood there and got through it all, but on the way back to my desk everybody told me how I was shaking so much… Never presenting again.
the school is coming, social anxiety is waving again
Since I'm going back to school in the fall, the mere thought of interacting with people makes my heart race and my hands sweaty.... I mean, I miss the classroom feeling and "people watching" [observing people through my little bubble], even talking about interests, but I tend to zone out and try
to plan the whole conversation before it even happens.
