I so feel you on the thinking and obsessing about things after they've happened. how many times a day do I cringe thinking back on something embarrassing? so many. soooo many.
Mine is the same. But that is actually a nice form of anxiety compared to others because if you just force yourself into the thing you know you're going to be okay, because DURING the thing you're fine. And what comes afterwards is not your problem yet. At least that's how I deal.
I can totally relate to the social anxiety you described. What helps me--and I have to force myself to do this because my mind naturally switches from past to future thinking, too--is keeping myself in the present, and telling myself not to think about what I should have done or what might happen, because thinking too much about it makes me miss out on what's happening now.
I completely understand your social anxiety, it's practically exactly how I feel. And I just bought The 100 on DVD, so I'll get to dive into that soon.
I was literally just thinking about this seconds before your video. But I have chronic anxiety and I am ALSO in an acting/improve class. My anxiety is a little different. I feel horribly anxious during and after not before. But just the other day we had to do a monologue and I had the worst anxiety attack ever. I was shaking uncontrollably all over. And I also have that horrible replay feature in my brain. I hate it! It replays all my worst most awkward moments. Today we had to do an improv with a partner according to these characters we've created and I was singing and dancing and now I'm like... aww gawd! Whyyyyy!? haha probably more info than you want but it feels good to share.
The whole thing about over-analysing and obsessing over your recent social interactions to the point where it's all you think about and are coming to the worst conclusions about how the other person/people must've viewed you...that was me the other day...and the "other day" meaning EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO OUT OF THE HOUSE AND SAY A SINGLE WORD TO ANOTHER LIVING PERSON AND I SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED OUTSIDE okay good okay.
Watched the first episode of The 100 last night and I was hooked. Stayed up until the sun came up because I didn't want to stop watching. Binge watched five episodes. I can't wait to watch more!
I do the cringe-regret thing too! Sometimes (almost always) in public, with a bonus external reaction to my internal thoughts, which creates another cringe-regret moment. It's a really vicious cycle!!
I look forward to these vlogs. I am now reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I am only about one hundred pages in and things are starting to get interesting.So far it is very different than anything I've read before.
I totally understand. I do the same thing before new experiences and have even missed out on stuff before because I was so worried about it. But I have learned that I am fine in the moment so I just need to push through and it will all be ok!
I wish my anxiety was like yours. I'm anxious before, during, and after. It's a never ending cycle of anxiety. I feel like if I wasn't nervous in the moment maybe I would preform better.
Love your vlogs! I'm super analytical too…but like in daily life. lol Especially after arguments. It'll sometimes be hours later after an argument and I'll have this epiphany of the PERFECT comeback line and I'm all, why didn't I say that! Keep up the good work!
I'm a wreck before and after as well, but depending on the situation, I can be completely anxious during as well. I'm just a social anxiety mess. I get through life faking it most of the time, then replay the worst parts of my day when I get home.
Oh, I feel you girl, I think I have the same social anxiety that you have. Anyway, I love your videos and watching your vlogs is now part of my routine. You're awesome, keep going!
The "Hola Better Internet" extension. It's super useful. I was able to watch S3 and S4 of Legend of Korra from the U.K because of it (IDEK if they've aired S3 here yet tbh, so yeah, super useful). :)
My anxiety is pretty much the same before and after, whilst I'm doing the thing I'm not anxious at all and always wonder what I was fussing about, but then I finish or go back the next time and get all worked up all over again!!!!!
Oh my gosh, Grumpy Kat, that's the best! And I am the exact same way with improv, I'm so nervous before and overly critical after, but I'm not good at improv and I accept that fact. Also, 3rd view, I've never been this early to a video of yours before!
I had a test at 9am this morning and while I was studying in the wee hours of the morning, I sang your rendition of "Everything is Stupid". You are inspirational. haha! #collegelife #itmadethepaineasiertomanage
My anxiety is actually really similar to that! Except I do also get anxious DURING some moments, but yes I do obsess over every single dumb thing I said afterwards. I used to do improv at high school and I really miss it, but because of my anxiety I was really bad at it...
That's exactly how my social anxiety works too but no one believes me, which is why I sometimes trick my brain by changing my mind/making a decision to do something last minute so that it's sort of spontaneous if that makes sense hahaha
You need to rename these vlogs Kat gets Starbucks and does other things. Lol I miss coffee so much. I am doing a 24 day challenge diet thing and can't have it. The day I can I'm getting Starbucks at least 4 times.
When you were explaining your anxiety I was like yes yes! Someone I kind of know also is struggling with anxiety cause I have it too and it fucking sucks.
I'm in an improv club called the CIA (Comedy Improv Act) and I completely understand the anxiety!! I find the easiest way to deal with it is to breathe slowly and accept the fact that everyone started out saying those lines they think are really funny until they've said them and they sound stupid. It's still hard though.
That's hilarious that you make Netflix think you're in Canada, because all of us Canadians make Netflix think we're in the States because you guys have way more shows on Netflix.
Wait, that's social anxiety? I literally do that ALL THE FREAKING TIME it bothers me so much like why can't I ever let anything go and stop obsessing over hypothetical moments? I guess I know why now...
Starbucks drink recommendations? I prefer hot drinks over cold. I prefer sweet drinks over bitter 😖 I never know what to get and I always get the same thing over and over again. I AM TIRED OF THE SAME THING. Help please.
I get 5shot venti white mocha... They always ask if I'm doing it on purpose... Go they ask you that too? I'm like... I need caffeine... Yes its on purpose
That has to be one of the first times anyone's ever tricked the internet to think they were CANADIAN for better Netflix. USA has a way bigger selection.
I don't have the before we'll kinda because plan it but then I just can't do and people have to make me do it but during the moment I'm fine after I'm just like oh what did I do why did I just do that oh what if they don't like me
So your social anxiety is exactly like mine.... Interesting... Also, don't be afraid. A drama teacher once told me, everyone gets nervous. Is that feeling of nervousness that drives actors to act. I guess is a little bit masochist.... Ps: I'm kinda of an actress myself
I so feel you on the thinking and obsessing about things after they've happened. how many times a day do I cringe thinking back on something embarrassing? so many. soooo many.
OMG!! I totally agree with you on the anxiety thing, i get nervous BEFORE & AFTERWARDS and perfectly fine DURING it. lol, i couldn't help it
Mine is the same. But that is actually a nice form of anxiety compared to others because if you just force yourself into the thing you know you're going to be okay, because DURING the thing you're fine. And what comes afterwards is not your problem yet. At least that's how I deal.

*started singing everything is stupid* 😂😂😂
I keep singing "Everything is stupid, everything is lame when you're sleep deprived". It's stuck in my head.
Everything is stupid, everything is lame when you’re sleep deprived.😂😂😂

When you said NO after grumpy kat you made me LOL so hard that I started choking. I enjoy your humor!
I love grumpy Kat 😂
I do the cringe-regret thing too! Sometimes (almost always) in public, with a bonus external reaction to my internal thoughts, which creates another cringe-regret moment. It's a really vicious cycle!!
The beginning killed me
rewatching these vlogs is yo nostalgic 🥰
I feel your descriptions of sleep deprivation on a SPIRITUAL LEVEL. Ugh. Hope you can catch up on sleep soon!
My anxiety is a lot like yours, Kat! During school I seem perfectly fine but before and after I am shaking out of fear and cringing.
I look forward to these vlogs. I am now reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I am only about one hundred pages in and things are starting to get interesting.So far it is very different than anything I've read before.
I totally understand. I do the same thing before new experiences and have even missed out on stuff before because I was so worried about it. But I have learned that I am fine in the moment so I just need to push through and it will all be ok!
Your eyebrow game on point!! Random, but I had to acknowledge it. Love your videos!
My anxiety is exactly the same. It's exhausting being worried about everything.
My social anxiety is similar to yours! You are definitely not alone on that!
I wish my anxiety was like yours. I'm anxious before, during, and after. It's a never ending cycle of anxiety. I feel like if I wasn't nervous in the moment maybe I would preform better.
Love your vlogs! I'm super analytical too…but like in daily life. lol Especially after arguments. It'll sometimes be hours later after an argument and I'll have this epiphany of the PERFECT comeback line and I'm all, why didn't I say that! Keep up the good work!

Oh, I feel you girl, I think I have the same social anxiety that you have. Anyway, I love your videos and watching your vlogs is now part of my routine. You're awesome, keep going!
I feel you Kat. I have the same problems.
Yes! I love your vlogs and OMG "The 100" is gettin CRAZY!
You've got to teach me the trick for Netflix 😂👌
The "Hola Better Internet" extension. It's super useful. I was able to watch S3 and S4 of Legend of Korra from the U.K because of it (IDEK if they've aired S3 here yet tbh, so yeah, super useful). :)
Lee Wickiewicz thank you. i cant believe how many more movies and shows there are
It's 3am this video only has two views right now. I am soo tired. Thank you for the upload to keep me awake Kat! :)
I have a snow day today so I'm re watching your old videos!! I have like 6 hours. Wish me luck!
My anxiety is pretty much the same before and after, whilst I'm doing the thing I'm not anxious at all and always wonder what I was fussing about, but then I finish or go back the next time and get all worked up all over again!!!!!
I love your vlogs!! But it would also be cool to see more of your life outside the car :D
It looks so warm over there I'm super jealous, here in Sweden it's still below 10 Celsius (at least there's no snow) ;)
I get anxious before and during, but after I'm completely fine :)
my friend works at starbucks, and when he's having a bad day, he shakes up people drive through drinks when they're they kind that are seperated.
Loving these vlogs so much woo double shot!
Oh my gosh, Grumpy Kat, that's the best! And I am the exact same way with improv, I'm so nervous before and overly critical after, but I'm not good at improv and I accept that fact. Also, 3rd view, I've never been this early to a video of yours before!
OMG KAT. I think we have similar social anxiety because I try to plan my day at work right before and once I've said goodbye, I freak out by myself.
Husband and I are watching the 100 because of you and its soooo good
I had a test at 9am this morning and while I was studying in the wee hours of the morning, I sang your rendition of "Everything is Stupid". You are inspirational. haha! #collegelife #itmadethepaineasiertomanage

That's exactly how my social anxiety works too but no one believes me, which is why I sometimes trick my brain by changing my mind/making a decision to do something last minute so that it's sort of spontaneous if that makes sense hahaha
I normally have at least two coffees a day as well!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! :D
I love coffee. I have to drink a cup or two in the morning. They say im too young to drink so much coffee but I don't care I love it
I've had 2 coffees today, it's my life. A coffee a day keeps the tiredness away.
You need to rename these vlogs Kat gets Starbucks and does other things. Lol I miss coffee so much. I am doing a 24 day challenge diet thing and can't have it. The day I can I'm getting Starbucks at least 4 times.
Are you going to the Insurgent Shatter Reality Tour in Hollywood ??? If you do please blog, I'd love to see you react to it !!
When you were explaining your anxiety I was like yes yes! Someone I kind of know also is struggling with anxiety cause I have it too and it fucking sucks.
You're seriously looking like Grace Helbig in the thumb nail haha!
My social anxiety is totally the same! it's so frustrating but I can't seem to kick it. & yay for the 100! Who's your favorite character?
Oh man, season 2 of The 100 is on Canadian Netflix? I'M SO THERE
There are other shows I couldn't find elsewhere! KAT YOU HAVE OPENED MY EYES TO A NEW WORLD
I usually only get Starbucks twice a month but yesterday I stopped twice in ONE day it was surreal to me lol 😂😂 but very much needed
Yeah I get the same thing with the anxiety thing. Just out of curiosity do you feel the same way when doing liveshows, like the booksplosion one?
Silly question, what is the Starbucks Doubleshot made of? Is it like those canned drinks they sell?
I'm in an improv club called the CIA (Comedy Improv Act) and I completely understand the anxiety!! I find the easiest way to deal with it is to breathe slowly and accept the fact that everyone started out saying those lines they think are really funny until they've said them and they sound stupid. It's still hard though.
That's hilarious that you make Netflix think you're in Canada, because all of us Canadians make Netflix think we're in the States because you guys have way more shows on Netflix.
I'm still obsessing over a mistake I made in a drama improv class from 3 years ago, I think I may have a problem :P
I'm the same way with that social anxiety.. 😔
By the way how do you put your netflix in Canada zone... Cause I'm also addicted to The 100 and I REALLY want to watch season 2!!!!!
Hello I was wondering how do I make Netflix thinking somewhere else
My anxiety takes the same form as yours.
Now I'm going to make some coffee!
Wait, that's social anxiety? I literally do that ALL THE FREAKING TIME it bothers me so much like why can't I ever let anything go and stop obsessing over hypothetical moments? I guess I know why now...
Starbucks drink recommendations? I prefer hot drinks over cold. I prefer sweet drinks over bitter 😖 I never know what to get and I always get the same thing over and over again. I AM TIRED OF THE SAME THING.
Help please.
OMG imagine how much money she spends in a year of Starbucks 😂 and what is improv???
I'm going to sing Everything Is Stupid on lame mornings from now on.
That was awesome. A good day.
What is Improv?
how do i do the canadian nflix?
Oh, Kat, that song. LoL
I WANT COFFEE
I got the same kind of social anxiety as you.
I get 5shot venti white mocha... They always ask if I'm doing it on purpose... Go they ask you that too? I'm like... I need caffeine... Yes its on purpose
You sound like me with your social anxiety
I do the opposite for the Netflix thing. Im in canada and I make my computer think Im americain
That has to be one of the first times anyone's ever tricked the internet to think they were CANADIAN for better Netflix. USA has a way bigger selection.
I am asking this out of complete curiosity. Do Kat or Christine have jobs/occupations?
I don't have the before we'll kinda because plan it but then I just can't do and people have to make me do it but during the moment I'm fine after I'm just like oh what did I do why did I just do that oh what if they don't like me
YOU COULD'VE INSTAGRAMED IT!
#TeamLexarke! Ship it!
I SPY A BLACK T-SHIRT
THE BLACK T-SHIRT OF DREAMS. AND COFFEE.
So your social anxiety is exactly like mine.... Interesting...
Also, don't be afraid. A drama teacher once told me, everyone gets nervous. Is that feeling of nervousness that drives actors to act. I guess is a little bit masochist....
Ps: I'm kinda of an actress myself
Yy
