hello, just wanted to grab your attention for a second, i am SA sufferer making tremendous progress, i have made a video on social anxiety and how you can rid yourself off SA through this inner work. video is on my page, please check it out
please thumbs up so everyone can get a chance to see my video, thanks
;( my names craig. ive had social anxiety since i woz 10. im naw 34.ive not been out of the house in 10 years because of it.and only just found out what its called. it feels like its killing me slowly....THANKS for the vid up load. ;) im not the only one. (made me cry) in a good way for once.
@TheTilemaster123999 are you serious 10 years ?. what did it feel like going outside ? the world is a strange and judgemental place eh because nowadays there is more pressure to be extroverted, good-looking, loud etc. and i feel sorry for people with SAD because they have to suffer in silence in society
@DragonTrixter it felt like so bad.everthing is so different, and im still in the past.hmm if you can understand what im saying.lol. it only feels like last year to me.but its bin 10.
To everyone suffering from social anxiety: there IS a cure. It's a groundbreaking psychological process called the Lefkoe Method. I understand that you have no reason to trust me, but I learned the method through Mr. Lefkoe's official training and I will be glad to help anyone with their issues for free (wether it's social anxiety or something else). Send me a PM to exchange Skype usernames. Why am I doing this? Because I want to hone my skills using the method and I like to help people.
my name is carlos,I'm from Brazil. I have social phobia, we all hope we can recover from this evil in the storm, hugs to all.you are not alone, someone is rooting for you.
Hi my name is Marco I'm from California and I have social anxiety disorder aswell but fighting for a better life we should all do fellow brothers and sisters :D
There are many of these superfood powders available to buy and they should not be underestimated for their healing benefits. I could never see a way out of this before but now Im trying to reform my nutrition program and the benefits are so good. Here are a few to look for, Enerfood, Green Vibrance, Field of Greens, Vitamineral Green. Just look it up people, I know the mental pain that comes with this Anxiety disorder and I would love to free someone the way I have become free of this.
Hi people, I have been suffering from SAD since the age of 16 (now 36) and it has made my life hell when faced with particular situations. I would tremble and shake with fear, choke up with works, sweat and go into extreme panic.
Anyway, I have been using Inderal medication (which is very effective) though I suspected this medication was bad for your health. I then went to see a herbalist who recommended green powders (superfoods) I tried Enerfood and 4 days in 90% of my symptpons were gone.
Just go and buy some V energy and you'll feel hypo and then you can go out I do it all the time and I feel more excited then everyone out there.
Or when I go I act like a WWE wrestler have you ever seen how they walk to the ring alone with people judging them but they dont seem to care,that's what u gotta act Like start acting confident go out and observe confident people and copy them until u overcome it,the only way is to start going to small places Like bunnings,or even blockbuster and don
@Reido2828 exposure to the anxiety provoking experience without avoiding or seeking safety eg, alcohol or sunglasses. if yours is really bad, maybe it's just walking up and down the high street once a day, then asking people for the time, then asking people where the station is, and gradually build up the intensity as you are desensitizing yourself to whatever causes anxiety. it's difficult because it is ltierally facing your fear but it's the only way......FACT!!!

@poshetop CBT. the most important thing is exposure. if you are sensitize to a stimulus, the best way to desensitize yourself to it is by repeatedly and frequently exposing yourself to it without carrying out any safety behaviours or avoidance. this is really tough, i know; but without it there is no recovery and with it you get your life back. other things help to but that is number 1. practice by taking slow steps. maybe ask 5 people each day for the time? it gets easier i promise.
For the longest time, I've denied my SA. Not only to my friends, but to myself. But I'm not going to hide it anymore... It's been a big part of my life, and prevented me from doing so many ordinary things. And reading other people's stories about feeling lonely, misunderstood... makes me really want to do something. I might make a video about this when I have time.
I'm not antisocial. I'm not "quiet". I love people! I just suffer from social anxiety...
@thinkgreenlovepurple Same here , Today my own sister told me that no girl would ever love me , It sucks more when your own family is like this with you , I got nobody to talk about how i feel with -_- , Just keep everything inside and try to get better
Hi, I'm a 26-year-old girl, suffering from the same thing. Do u guys wanna talk on skype with me about this? On cam maybe? Just to practice... :) I know it is not exactly the same like in real life, but better than writing, isn't it?
Spongewood is my name and I'm online in about 8 hours, all day long...
If someone's interested pls add me. Good luck 4 everyone here having this hard problem!
when i first saw this video, i balled my eyes out. ive had social anxiety disorder for about a year and a half, and i thought it was just me,, but then i found out that i had it, i watched this video, and it made me feel like i wasnt alone , thank you so much for making this video, you've given me hope :) im lily, im 14, im from the UK and i have social anxiety disorder :)
its really bad feeling especially when my heart starts beating fast, then i cant even speak.... I am so sad :( and because of this anxiety i cant show the people who I really am .. THANK YOU <3
I have Social Anxiety too and I feel so lonely because of it. If I ever admit to people that I have it, they just look at me blankly as if they've never heard of such a thing... that makes me feel even more alone. Sarah, 26, London.
I question whether any such disorder would even exist if we were all truly spiritual creatures, regarding each other with the utmost respect, treated each other as family, stopped with all of the separation, elitism and barriers. I believe that we are our own worst enemies and that materialism is the true enemy. We are all trying to appear 'together' to such an extent that the fear of falling apart causes us to do exactly that. Hyper intention and pretension are the result.
@voianhemsed I was thinking the same thing; it is not a disorder per se, but a sensitivity to a non- loving, non-accepting environment. My boyfriend and I both have so-called social anxiety but when we are together basking in the total acceptance, appreciation and unconditional love of one another, we are completely different people: our true selves - playful, funny, outgoing, creative, strong, supportive, resourceful; natural and spontaneous. If there is a cure for social anxiety it is LOVE
I have the same thing...I feel like no one likes me and most people think I'm ugly...look at my channel for a song ''Red Nose'',he raps about what it is like to be treated differently..
My name is maha I am from kw in Arabian gulf I am 20 years old and I had social phobia ... The treatment is Behavioral practice but Preceded by drug .... My drug is seroxat 20mg this drug is the best ... Lowest dose for the treatment of phobias is 2 pills in a day ... And Very necessary to consult a doctor... I love you all ^_^ and I feel you completely ^_^
This video is amazing I have social anxiety and it's hard for me to meet others I wish i have friends to talk to I feel so alone only 2 guyfriends those all the friends I have I joined social anxiety support I talk with them every day I hope I can meet new friends one day
i wanna have a group of friends like the following people commenting as friends..as one big friend and fam thing, we all have social anxiety, so we should feel slightly comfortable around one another right? :)
Everyone cares to some degree what others think of them. But, social phobics care or worry to the point that it hinders their enjoyment of life.. Very sensitive folks. Maybe we just overthink things to much. A sense of caution is good, but being overly paranoid is deterimental to our well being. But, we are who we are. If we could help it, we wouldn't be this way. All we can do is try to work on it.
All of these folks are fine looking human beings. That being said, it doesn't matter if someone tells you that you look like a god. Unless you have confidence in yourself, nothing anyone says will make a dent. It's how you view yourself.
Might want to try meditation, yoga or mental exercises. A little unorthodox, but it might reduce a sense of worthlessness, insecurities and anxiety. Might make you realize how powerful a sentient being you really are. Google them or contact me as a last resort!
Feel free to add me on facebook I'm always looking to meeting people in my area or from around the world who struggle with things like S.A.D and A.V.P.D you are not alone we can do it together! :) Fb:Ginnelle Walker
Hi everyone. I recently started a blog and video series on social anxiety. I have a PhD in psychology and a lot of experience helping people with social anxiety. My goal is for the videos to be interactive and to cover topics that are important for you, so I'll hope you'll check them out and give me feedback about your questions or topic you're interested in related to social anxiety.
Hey everyone my name is Svet Nazarov, & I have deep emotions for the ppl out their who have social anxiety, But I myself am a person who has recovered from it, & I will show you techniques and also knoweledge about what it is, And how our own thoughts cause it, Check on my channel And subscribe, Im here for you!
'Social anxiety' is normal - the vast majority of us experience it regularly and it's a normal stress response. It is only when this stress (distress) becomes unbearable and detrimental to your everyday life that is should be classified as a disorder requiring treatment. I strongly believe this distinction needs to be made in a lot of cases. Just because you feel uncomfortable meeting new people, speaking out load or in certain social situations does not mean you have something wrong with you!
Has anyone suggested the scientific approach? A Neurofeedback specialist can analyze the problem by looking at the brain activity. If you have severe activity causing your thoughts to race this will cause severe anxiety. Neurofeedback can unlock the brain. My son has had 26 sessions and is feeling extremely better.
this video is amazing! it is so great to know that all of us from all over the world share the same thing, and that we are special and God has destined to bring us together on youtube.
@FartNouveau Try something. Get a camera. Go somewhere private and say Hi my name is ... I am ..years old, I live in .... and I have social anxiety disorder..... No need to post it on youtube. Just do it as an experiement. You might realise you look very similar to these people when u say it for the camera and no one else :) Let me know how it goes, if u give it a shot :)
@noodlez4me At least in my experience, the doctors won't do anything. It's hard enough for me to just leave my place of residence, but it's even more disappointing when the doctors just prescribe medication. When I tried social anxiety-meds, I felt a slight change for two days, and then it went downhill from there. The doctors don't seem to care about finding a permanent solution -- they just want to hook people on drugs supposedly temporarily masks the symptoms.
i knew there are many people like me and it doesn't make me feel any better because in the end i care only about myself with my own sitiuation.....its good to see but it doesn't help very much
@oChairmano everyone has it to different degrees or in different circumstances. maybe they can make this video but can't hold a conversation with someone they just met...different levels, same disorder.
Yeah that's a good way of looking at it. Nonetheless it is hard to do because SA forces you to look at yourself and the world in such a strict, self deprecating way that it's hard to zoom out and see the big picture and think more objectively and rationally. I'm learning to change that but it's not quick and easy process.
@emerald7273 I have SA and I've also been told that there are others who are less fortunate. I dislike when people say that (not because it's not true, I know there are others w/ worse problems) but saying it doesn't make me feel better because the bad feeling/thoughts that I have are hard to control. Calling attention to other people's problems just makes you feel inadequate for not being able to deal with your own problems.
@tinybubblesinhawaii I dislike that as well. Interestingly enough, the people I've heard say that have never experienced anything more serious than a common cold or flu.
No one is alone. Be strong. I used to suffer myself and also created a little blog where I tell you my story and have included some tips that will really help you.
@MyBabyyBath Hey. You will make it believe me. Take a look at my channel and click on the link on the left side of the channel. It's my personal, little blog.
I suffer from social anxiety and have for about 2 years. My theory to get over it from time to time is to just act like a mother fucker, have low expectations of yourself and imagine other people to feel this too so when you speak, it doesnt need to be amazing or inspiring, just you. Think about it... Unless they got a hammer and a white wig, they aint no judge.
nice .. brave ppl, I can't even post a video like them .. fuck I am alone all the time I like to be around ppl and talk with them, but I feel like they don't like me b/c I have nothing to say I feel like I am unwelcome all the time, I want to commit a suicide or bang my head against the wall I HATE MYSELF, I HATE PEOPLE, I HATE LIFE :( I wish I hadn't been born at all
I am just about to start cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, on the NHS in the U.K for social anxiety and depression. If anyone is interested in what its like and what it can do, i would be happy to make a video diary of my progess, so let me know if people are interested.
Cheers guys, and good luck, we're all gonna get through this.
@88M8A8X88 id like to hear how you got on on as i went through exactly the same steps to try and sort my self out. for me it didnt work, i think its bullshit, but id like to see how you get along, btw nice dubstep vid.. gotta love dubstep and DnB :)
@a7xwoohoo Sorry to hear that mate, i'm going on the intensive 20 week course, which is the best the NHS can offer i think, so i'm really hoping it does work for me, as i'm not sure what i'm gonna do if it doesnt... Did you have any success with it then or was it really not for you? I mean, all i really want to be able to do is be myself around my good mates and my family again and i'll be happy, i dont need to be mr outgoing or anything, so im hoping limited success is enough..
@88M8A8X88 it helped slightly with maybe stepping outside your thought and actually looking at how rediculouse you sound, but still the physical symptoms are there and it really sucks. i have a job and a hectic social life so i need to be really confident tbh but these physical symptoms just never go for me... think ill just have to soldier on and deal with em lol
@88M8A8X88 it helped slightly with maybe stepping outside your thought and actually looking at how ridiculous you sound, but still the physical symptoms are there and it really sucks. i have a job and a hectic social life so i need to be really confident tbh but these physical symptoms just never go for me... think ill just have to soldier on and deal with em lol
Hey guys! Im jonah and if you have social anxiety you should go to your doctor and tell him/her whats going on, and he/she will probably prescribe you on a medication. Dont be afraid! Its changes lives, including mine
I've had social anxiety since I was 12. :( and im almost 20 now. Makes me happy to see other people with it because ive never seen anyone else who has it.
I'm in college with social anxiety I want to drop out but my dad won't let me. I can't even sit in class without feeling uncomfortable and thinking everyone is looking at me. I also hate walking around campus cause people are looking at me, like they can tell there is something wrong with me :( I don't know what to do...
@guasto47 i understand, it can help when you do positive things for yourself like write down small goals that are important to you or talk to someone close to you, mindfulness is also good
@guasto47 I really recommend staying in college until you graduate. That won't make your social anxiety go away, but having a goal like college at least helps you retain your sanity even if you feel like everyone is scrutinizing your every move. I have SAD as well, and really struggled with it during grade school and college, but once I graduated, things went downhill since I no longer had something to try to focus on which made my anxiety even worse.
this really dispels some myths. There are many young and very attractive people here. I am so blessed that you all were brave enough to do this. It really is encouraging!
i have illness...had it all my life...scept now instead of feeling shy...nervous, unsure etc.etc. I just get very irritated, Angry and hostile...and i find it best to avoid people alltogther for their sake and mine...sleep during the day when people are not awake and up at night so that i can feel some joy....
and this video isnt sad....thats just the stupid music, these people have a serious problem and it is not something parade around like their animals to be poked at you douchebags
We are not alone. This is something people all over the world suffer from. But we can win this battle.
On my personnal little blog I have also written some tips and my personal story on how I was able to finally enjoy life again. Just go to my channel and click on the link on the right side.
Thumbs Up, "Only" if my site is really helpful and you really enjoyed it ;)

I question whether any such disorder would even exist if we were all truly spiritual creatures, regarding each other with the utmost respect, treated each other as family, stopped with all of the separation, elitism and barriers. I believe that we are our own worst enemies and that materialism is the true enemy. We are all trying to appear 'together' to such an extent that the fear of falling apart causes us to do exactly that. Hyper intention and pretension are the result.
voianhemsed 6 months ago 2
@voianhemsed I was thinking the same thing; it is not a disorder per se, but a sensitivity to a non- loving, non-accepting environment. My boyfriend and I both have so-called social anxiety but when we are together basking in the total acceptance, appreciation and unconditional love of one another, we are completely different people: our true selves - playful, funny, outgoing, creative, strong, supportive, resourceful; natural and spontaneous. If there is a cure for social anxiety it is LOVE

Everyone cares to some degree what others think of them. But, social phobics care or worry to the point that it hinders their enjoyment of life.. Very sensitive folks. Maybe we just overthink things to much. A sense of caution is good, but being overly paranoid is deterimental to our well being. But, we are who we are. If we could help it, we wouldn't be this way. All we can do is try to work on it.

'Social anxiety' is normal - the vast majority of us experience it regularly and it's a normal stress response. It is only when this stress (distress) becomes unbearable and detrimental to your everyday life that is should be classified as a disorder requiring treatment. I strongly believe this distinction needs to be made in a lot of cases. Just because you feel uncomfortable meeting new people, speaking out load or in certain social situations does not mean you have something wrong with you!

Has anyone suggested the scientific approach? A Neurofeedback specialist can analyze the problem by looking at the brain activity. If you have severe activity causing your thoughts to race this will cause severe anxiety. Neurofeedback can unlock the brain. My son has had 26 sessions and is feeling extremely better.

noodlez4me 9 months ago
@noodlez4me At least in my experience, the doctors won't do anything. It's hard enough for me to just leave my place of residence, but it's even more disappointing when the doctors just prescribe medication. When I tried social anxiety-meds, I felt a slight change for two days, and then it went downhill from there. The doctors don't seem to care about finding a permanent solution -- they just want to hook people on drugs supposedly temporarily masks the symptoms.

Yeah that's a good way of looking at it. Nonetheless it is hard to do because SA forces you to look at yourself and the world in such a strict, self deprecating way that it's hard to zoom out and see the big picture and think more objectively and rationally. I'm learning to change that but it's not quick and easy process.
tinybubblesinhawaii 10 months ago
@emerald7273 I have SA and I've also been told that there are others who are less fortunate. I dislike when people say that (not because it's not true, I know there are others w/ worse problems) but saying it doesn't make me feel better because the bad feeling/thoughts that I have are hard to control. Calling attention to other people's problems just makes you feel inadequate for not being able to deal with your own problems.

I suffer from social anxiety and have for about 2 years. My theory to get over it from time to time is to just act like a mother fucker, have low expectations of yourself and imagine other people to feel this too so when you speak, it doesnt need to be amazing or inspiring, just you. Think about it... Unless they got a hammer and a white wig, they aint no judge.

Did you have any success with it then or was it really not for you? I mean, all i really want to be able to do is be myself around my good mates and my family again and i'll be happy, i dont need to be mr outgoing or anything, so im hoping limited success is enough..

@guasto47 I really recommend staying in college until you graduate. That won't make your social anxiety go away, but having a goal like college at least helps you retain your sanity even if you feel like everyone is scrutinizing your every move. I have SAD as well, and really struggled with it during grade school and college, but once I graduated, things went downhill since I no longer had something to try to focus on which made my anxiety even worse.
