  • social anxiety disorder. hmmm, in my day it was called 'being shy'.

  • It is a disorder. You have no idea what it's like. So get educated or shut up!!!

  • I wouldn't call it a disorder

  • Wow that was an amazing video. I am Felix and I have s a d

  • That's was fantastic! Thank you for your hard work :)

    -A Social Phobia Sufferer

  • The therapist has the fucking creepiest face. Therapist? More like the rapist.

  • i feel like i'm being judged all the time at my school. it really sucks.

  • great video! :)

  • I think I have social phobia :) I'm going to a therapist to help me overcome this feeling of being judged all the time, looking like a fool in front of everyone, and being shy:/ I tall to people and I have friends but I want to be more open and talk a lot more because trust me I talk alot but I'm afraid of making an error or mistake and being embarrassed by everyone.....so yea:) I think maybe the cause was that at my old school I was made fun of all the time and plus my parents always protected

  • too cute! Loved it! I'm going to share this on my fb page, I support Selective Mutism

  • Loved it. ^^

  • lol thats cute loved it! <3

  • its a shame that people who hardly talk are labled as rude better then others and stuckups nobody knows they may be hurt or trying to protect themselves

  • key: but avoiding socializing is embarrassing. (ppl dont socialize cuz ther afraid they'l say something embarrassing.) it's a lot more embarrassing than anything u could say.

  • veeeeery niiice

  • pot calms me down

  • nice vid, what psychology course you studying?

  • Nice work, you covered a lot! :-) But I'm not sure if men and women are equally affected?

    /Swedish social fobic

  • Good information. Thanks for making this video.

  • The only people who like this video are those who have never experienced the panic attacks and constant anxiety that social phobia actually brings.

  • @extremathon dude i know you cant be good watching videos or by internet,its very hard thing to overcome it,to find your road to real happiness,i experienced the cure and it took like one and half years or more and iam still on it,iam learning new things to become happy and it is almost the end as my therapist said,find a good doctor and have a courage to visit him its all you need dont let the fear to control you at that point.iam saying this to all of you dear people,its hard but not imposible

  • I want to stab the bunnie

  • This is so cute and helpful. I'm writing a paper about social phobia. I'm using this as one of my resources. :)

  • if they showed this in my class i'd be hiding

  • whats the 2nd song called?

  • Very informative. Thanks!

  • If your reading this right now, you can begin tackling social phobia by just taking a walk outside of your room and into the real world. The world is not actually watching you, you are not on center stage. Start by asking for directions, or the time. Getting out into the real world and actually interacting with people is the only way to truly chip away at this large wall you have in front of you thats separating yourself from the real world. I been there before, i know what its like. U can do it

  • @relentlessD7 dude how the fuck they can go outside that they are afraid of everything the first step they need is to find a therapist and go untill the end,i dont know how special am i but i could overcome and in two monthes after i feel happy as i didnt feel before in my entire life,yes after it it was difficulties too but not like i got before and i went forward and going untill now

  • Grate work..... well done!!

  • the people saying mean things up top are shy and are anti social

  • what's that first song? thanks!!

  • you are quite a cool girl for someone with social phobia.. hope your fight it one day and come out of your shell!

  • Thank you for this video. I was feeling depressed today and your animated cat voice made me laugh. I suffer from social anxiety and depression.

  • i know its a serious thinng and all... but i pissed myself at the way u sed "I don't have anything interesting to say..." XD

  • so what kind of medication do people like this get?

  • Drink Beer, Cure Social Phobia

  • I learned alot. Hey it's the new girl Lets throw trash at her for being so snooty. Thanks for the info when we do see a person with social phobia we'll help em out.

  • can i use this during my psychology project idl if its illegal or not.. if you don't get this in time i probably will. so sorry and thanks i will only use it to help explain further social phobia and will not take credit for the video. Its just an aid in explaing. well hopefully the fbi doesnt break through my window or anything. anyways try to get back to me on using this though i will my presentations tomorrow, and im failing. thanks again :)

  • i used to think i was shy and it was normal to have hot flashes. i found out it wasn't when it pulled up stuff about menopause.

    MY MOM TOOK A PSYCHOLOGY CLASS AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW I HAVE SOCIAL PHOBIA!! wow. maybe it's because i started being out going with her 2 years ago. i'm not shy around her at all. she thinks i talk to much and when it comes to doing stuff that i'm just passive. Really, i'm just scared.

  • Even though this was made by some normal teenagers like you guys, I actually think you did really well, and I learned something today!

  • I didn't know about this mental problem until last year .. & GOSH I think I have this thing, cause I always stay by myself, I don't go to parties .. & if I go I stay away from ppl

    I am always afraid to talk w/ girls too, I don't know what to say ... FUCK at the end I hide in my rm & blame ppl for been socialized w/ me :(

  • Yeah im a handsome dude and a talented skater, however i have social phobia to the fullest and it makes me depress.

  • ahahahaaaa

  • Hey Laura,

    Just wanted youto know that I use your video as a sample every year! It's still one of the best (and most accurate) one I've seen. Glad I found you here :o)

    Ms. Kenny

  • Why does this remind me of Bittersweetcandybowel?

    XD

  • Good video, you covered pretty much everything and what you said is all correct. I've got bad social anxiety and this is a fun way to enlighten people!

  • my case my mom fucked me up.. dont wear that u look ugly dont do this dont do that u look retarded.. negative negative all my life...so yea im fucked now and take valium when i feell bad

  • I've had social phobia ever since I was in 4th or 5th grade, but I had no idea until recently. I always thought that a lot of people felt similar, but this isn't nearly as true as I thought. Sure people all get anxiety, but the persistence and physical aspects are very different when you have social phobia. I always thought I just had depression, which is true, but my depression comes from my struggle with social phobia. If you think you have social phobia, no question, go see a therapist.

  • Even tho this isn't nearly as accurate... it still helps raise awareness... so thanks for that... really appreciate it.

  • anybody knows what i can do? :(

  • what should we done so it will stop and not being work this whole shit anymore?

  • Kinda cute. Can't stop watching lol.

  • inspiring

  • Comment removed

  • So strange. 2 years ago I would start to get really scared when i walked into groups of people and i would blush and or sweat. I would also never talk in class and avoid any sort of social situation. I'm not really sure what happened but I'm totally different. although i still sometimes blush when put on the spot and I become the center of attention immediately(but i guess you could just classify that as shyness).

  • i sit at the lunch table outside,Everyone's gone to play football. I am alone,I am too afraid to play football because I'm afraid I will not be good at it. My class writes notes, I My palms are sweating and I'm afraid poeple are staring at me. In fact,I'm so afraid of people staring at me in class,that people ACTUALLY DO stare at me in class. Why? Why am I afraid to go into social conversations? one word........bullying. I've been emotionally bullied all my life,and it's left me scarred..

  • @Thelovelychristinaa fuck that try oxycodone or hydrocodone

  • Wait do you take this in high school?

  • how do u know wheather you are shy or have social phobia?

  • @ieatworms96 you are unable to speak to people freely and are shakey nervous around other people and don't like to be touched. In some cases it can make you sick to your stomach. Overall it depends on the person and how bad it is, its an overall discomfort around other people. Its a terrible thing to have i should know i have it. It can keep you from holding down a job or even getting one.

  • @ieatworms96 Trust me you will know if you have social phobia... being scared to death of being around other people and what they might think is a dead give away...

  • This video really helped me a lot. Thank you :) I have it too and I can't tell you how many times people have said how quiet I am lol but I'm not going to be depressed about it because I got people who love me :)

  • take xanax or benadryl be happy .. and fuk cbt never works ...

    and the dood who made this vid .. u have no idea how this feels

  • @multamp True. I never did say I knew how it felt. But that's not the point.

    This was made for a class. A CLASS. I had to follow specific guidelines so I can get an A on this project.

    And if you don't think none of what I'm saying is true or irrelavent, then don't comment anything. Geez.

  • @ChibiLaura LUV THE VID!!! it's so cute!! the rabbit reminds me of the rabbit i have^-^

  • Comment removed

  • @multamp what about the withdrawal of them when you need to quit.

  • @firstcoffeeoftheday its just that it made me an asshole as well.. , i am less of an asshole now , that comment was 6 months back, but yes nothing worked for me , never has , i eat alone , stay alone , very few people i talk to , dont talk to any1 unless its very very important, but its ok , i have accepted it , learned to live with it.

  • @multamp dude the time will come dont worry the time will come i was thinking like you too,now i could see how poor and weak are people who looked strong and violent,they put on masks afraid then someone could saw there real face,but if you got SA or what it is called,its the thing that didnt allow you put on the masks they have,your more real then they,your time will come as mine came

  • @multamp take xanax and visit good therapist it isnt a thing that you could overcome alone in a short time

  • Comment removed

  • this is like an old Charlie Brown cartoon..need some Vince music

  • I have social anxiety disorder/social phobia and I actually really liked this video :)

  • I'm suprised at the hate on this vid, I thought it was done well and is pretty accurate.

  • thank you ! i like this its fun to learn this way !

  • @denizaya u can't just help urself out of the problem it's not that simple. I already have proffesional help. Does it work? No:( I wish it would.. Nothing works unless a person puts themselves on medication. I don't wanna do that, my therapist recomended I do that but I said no..

  • all those meds suck big dick, try some oxycodone or some hydrocodone and for you moral soldiers and soccer moms who have a problem with this, go fuck yourselves.

  • @laetrille oxycodone ahh the perk 30s are good for ya.

  • @3nderoX I fucking hate that my family does not understand my problem, I have been treating myself wtih oxycodone, (ten milligrams every six hours) and that is the only thing that works, I have tried therapy, bupropion, clonodine, fluoxetine you name it I have taken it. Now my family wants to kick me out of the house. I hate them but I love them.

  • Yeah... I'm pretty sure I have social phobia. I used to skip school alot cause I couldn't breathe right in class, thought my heart was going to freakin' explode everyday. Tried to get help but my social worker and my mother just brush it off as no big deal, which I guess it really isn't. My mother says I'm not motivated enough or I would just get over it and finish school, which is pretty true =_= But yeah... informative video. *thumbs up*

  • Hello All,

    I ask the people with social phobia which want get professional help to message me.

    You might ask WHY?

    I was a guy who had social phobia, and I helped my self out of this problem. When i see those video's i get sad because i know very well how those people feel.

    Beside that i studied psychology and developed my self to humanity psychology.

    I'm about : Everyone has to right to be happy some need help I'm for them.

    I don';t want money or anything i just get satisfied by helping human

  • This is really me! :'(

  • fack you

  • @nouf840 Thank, God Bless you too C:

  • I wish I would have made a video like this for my psychology class in high school. Maybe then people wouldn't have thought I was such a weirdo...

    Great job :)

  • Whats the difference between Social Phobia and Social Anxiety? I think I have Social Anxiety..

  • I have social phobia... and my psychiatrist SUCKED

    It makes me want to drop out

  • @WSOPItaly tell 'em to read up on social phobia and what it is and how detriment it can be to someone who has it. Its not a laughing matter or a joke it is serious especially when it come to being productive in life.

  • I love this video. thanks for uploading it.

  • @ursocoolomg woow... really? out of all the things to pick out of this video... you call me gay and an anime fuck. You really missed out on everything. If you have nothing nice to say, then please don't say it.

  • @3nderoX lmfaoo anyone with a life?

  • @ursocoolomg dude ur a dick...

  • I'm happy that you made a video on SAD. I was doing the same thing since I too have this disorder, instead of speaking in front of class I'll be making a video on one instead and showing it to them. You gave me some great ideas on how to start mine out. Thank you.

  • wow well done! very good video!

  • You guys did an unbelievable job. Well done. I have this disorder.

  • I understand my phobia now, thanks ^_^. but who do we conince parents tht it is not shyness?

  • Great job!! I wish I had seen this as a teenager!

  • I was diagnosed with Social Phobia when I was 14. I'm 16 now. I've slowly over come it with alot of therapy. I missed 130 days of school in the 2007-2008 year. I stayed back and later had my absences excused. I still stayed back.

    I've slowly overcome it.

  • you know that you missed nothing?

    W-wow... that's like a HUGE Honor!

    Tell you professor thanks for showing my video!

  • SOMFL

  • This is so cute. As an SA sufferer I think its a fantastic way of showing people the key points of social anxiety. I wish more people would watch it!

  • This is awesome. More people need to see this.

  • Those cartoons are good

  • I am so thankful to you for making this! I now know the differnece between someone really shy, and someone with an actuall problem. Thank you, have a blessed day!

  • this vid rocks in a big way!!! Thanks

  • great video...it was so cute ;)

    and it explain perfectly this disorder, thanks for made laugh ;) i really needed

  • ahem aubviouly thats wht anime is for jezzzzzz, no im just kidding yes be cool stay in scool. i never had social phobia

    i do have other phobias. but seriouly i was not a shy one i was almost ctrazy,

  • thank you

  • i think i have this somewhat

  • Everything sounds nice when said in 'psychologically correct' language, but the real life is quite different and many times people with social phobia have no support at all - their family don't understand it and they don't have friends to talk about it. A therapist might be a nice thing, but it usually costs too and not everyone has enough money for that. Besides, a contact with therapist is only superficial it cannot substitute true relationships with friendly people.

  • I agree. I have social phobia but I dont have the money for the treatment. What am I supposed to do??? :(

  • You can buy many self help CBT books and others that are similar, the internet is also a great resource. Try to be more open about it and talk to your friends and family about it. I suffer from it as well so i don't know the cure, but i'm fighting and can see the light!

    Good luck.

  • @asmodeus585 Couldn't have said it better myself.This is exactly the case with me.I'm a desperate social phobic stuck in a pro ignorance evangelist culture.I long for real friendships and social interactions,but I can't get them,as I'm cut off from society.I just want to put a bullet in my head and forget.....

  • @Boggieman667: Believe, I totally uderstand you. Life is strange. We don't ask for it, yet we have to go through it. Some of us were handsomely endowed by nature and very lucky enough to be born in prospective families, other weren't as lucky. It's not someone fault who he is, yet people hold him responsible for it,, as if they knew nothing about the impact of genetics and closest environment on our life. Most of who we are as adults was determined when we kids having nothing to say about it.

  • @asmodeus585 I fucking hate that my family does not understand my problem, I have been treating myself wtih oxycodone, (ten milligrams every six hours) and that is the only thing that works, I have tried therapy bupropion, clonodine, fluoxetine you name it I have taken it. Now my family wants to kick me out of the house. I hate them but I love them.

  • Such a cute video and informative too. I have had this disorder for a long time and I find that many people do not understand. Like depression, one cannot just "snap out of it". A friend actually screamed at me about being "aloof". Talk about giving someone a complex! Needless to say, that insensitive idiot is longer my friend. Took me a long time to get over that episode!

  • huf puf what can i say av had this problem for about 12 years just starting to understand it a little bit i would like to chat to peaple with the same problem as me maybe via msn i think this would be intresting for both of us

  • Ok, today I went into my auditorium with a bunch of ppl and I sat alone. Usually, people would think I thought I was all that, like the video describes it. But no-one really knows how I feel inside. In my mind, I am afraid to just approach people and talk to them because I'm afraid they might think I would say something stupid. Then in front of a lot of people watching me, I get a lot nervous anxiety. Almost like rejection-like it is a horrible feeling. I still have s.a.d.

  • CBT didn't work.

    ADs didn't work.

    BB didn't work.

    Basically, I'm screwed. :(

  • i am taking Vilift and it's really the best, i never had any problems with it.

  • Very good job. I liked it alot.

  • fuck ... :(

  • for you admitting that you were just merely doing the assisgnment, you presented it pretty well to me. i know the symptoms of SADand you were right on your points. you did it in a pretty awesome way too. i wish i was that confident enough to do something like that.

  • nice video :)

  • now i know i have it

  • I have SP and i think you did a good job im gonan put tat on my MYSPACE TY FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

  • I have SA but haven't gone to get help, I really should get over being afraid to get help. I replay memories of stupid things I've done from years ago in my head. I wish I could just let them go. I do believe teasing can cause SA. *shivers* Middle school, I was teased the worst. I won't take medication though. I don't think meds are good for anybody, I don't even take cold medication.

  • wow I hope people don't think I am snobby b/c i never talk because of social phobia

  • don't talk to her it will make her nervous

    she doesnt like small talk

    i hate when people talk to me

  • very great video!!! yes ,it's exactly what i feel since many years ago(i'm 25 years).the new thing that i discovered through this video is the "amygdala".the sad thing in our problem is that people dont know what the social phobia is ,they dont know our sufference.

  • so nice! welldone & thank you. i am gonna share that sp forums

  • This is how it is. My sister sometimes likes to make jokes @ my expense. When we were at T.Giving, she and her friends made a joke toward me and I started studdering, and felt as if I was going to faint in the kitchen or vomit. It's tough. Don't know how long I can deal with it.

  • I'm a very withdrawn person, and have a higher IQ than average bout 120. i like ganja, and hate stupid jabbering bout stupid shit. am I not normal?

  • LOL, how cute.  The bit at the start about the girl being snobby made me laugh. I have SA and I'm thinking of posting this on my MySpace so some other people can learn about the disorder. Thanks!

  • To loud music, but beside of that, great vid!

  • Very creative and informative. This video has it all...

  • The music is too loud. It's hard to listen to the spoken words.... apart from that: nice!

  • Kind of cheesy but I liked it.

    Good job.

  • i help myself..

  • How do you help yourself? Do you have any tips for share?

  • hey, u used Naruto music! I love this video! It's so cute! My BF sorta has it, though.
