for me: skydiving, no; learning korean, yes; learning to fly a plane, no; i already know how to play guitar; finding a persian wife, maybe; going to a party, yes (I used to say no); going to a concert, maybe (nowadays big crowds are a target)
My social anxiety is about fear of being percieved as mentally ill person and being bullied cause of it cause when I first had this disorder people began treating me differently with either sympathy or bullying some even were talking behind my back saying that I am mentally ill person and dumb or has something in my head that’s abnormal some were more cruel saying to my face you’re mentally ill and laughing at my anxiety how to overcome these memories and enjoy my life should I study mental illnesses that occur in teenagers or children just to make sure I didn’t suffer from any of them? I don’t know my family didn’t explain for me this disorder I had they just left me being bullied and called mentally ill and said that I will be better as I grow
It's really not a mental "illness". I feel calling it that stigmatises it even more. It's a learned set of cognitive and behavioural patterns that can be unpicked and relearned. Telling yourself that you're "mentally ill" only intensifies the problem. I know it did for me when I told myself that.
@@EdTheAnxietyCoach people around in my early teens treated me this way calling mentally ill and because I didn’t know my diagnosis at that time and that I have just social anxiety I perceived myself as mentally ill person cause of the bullying I received cause of this disorder
Do you feel you're letting life pass you by? What milestones are you missing out on? What's holding you back?
it would be nice to get out of this social anxiety crap and move out of my parents house, make friends and get a girlfriend.

Just want to say you are making a difference with these videos and they are appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you. Hope the videos are useful to you
I know there are people like me where i live, but they are isolated almost to the point of agoraphobia (because that was me).
Yeah, sadly this affects so many people.
