I've had this my whole life been homeless most my life. Living in a shelter now but I tell you it never goes away. My years of drugs and alcihol abuse just made the ride more Insane.veen on meds for 3 years but they dont help much. I am 40 now but feel it the same as when I was 7.
I swear to god, sometimes I want to kill myself because of this HORRIBLE disorder. At school, I feel like a total outcast and people just alienate me because I don't ever say anything. I want to but it's just so damn hard. If I ever get put on the spot by the teacher in class, I start having an anxiety attack because i can feel other people's eyes on me. I hate it. HATE it when people stare at me...
The people that don't understand usually tells me to just "snap out of it". If I could just do that, I would in a heartbeat, so I just fake it. It's the most terrible feeling. I try to fight it, but whether I win over it or not, at the end of the day, I still feel defeated, weak and burned out. Since we have to be exposed so we can put food on the table, it's become a daily event for me.
Panic attacks, loss of appetite, the feeling of living life outside your body,the feeling of living in a dream, continuous negative thoughts, troubling and obsessive thoughts, excessive stress and worry, trouble sleeping. You are not alone. There are many others who have these experiences. I USE TO, but NO longer have them. I found what worked. I am NOT SELLING anything, I just want to share the process that freed me of anxiety. Please watch my intro. video for more info! Thanks, Stay positive!
I find the best way to help my hurt feelings is to PRAY to God above. He really is there. Pray for truth, wisdom, comfort, and strength. He will help you, just BELIEVE it. He made the world for us, he made air, water, food for us to live. He wants us to be happy. He soon will bring peace to the world. His KINGDOM is coming!! Be happy because the world is really about to change. READ the bible everday, and pray alot everday. YOU will see God work in your life to help if you do.
not being vain but im really hot but i cant manage to talk to anyone properly because of this shit..it makes people think im stuck up but im just a shy loser lol
@MsThegirlyoudontknow Yeah, people are always saying that life is easier for good looking people, but what's the point in attractiveness when a person is so shy they can't talk comfortably to anyone?
Jesus can sent you free. he is the only hope to man kind, Jesus said come to me and I will give u a new life! ask Jesus to come to your heart,that Jesus died in the cross so everybody that accept him will have peace and eternal life.
Now I'm in a dorm in college and I panic. I get too scared to go to the bathroom that I'll hold it until late at night when everyone is sleeping. I want help, but it doesn't help you have SA and are scared of going to a therapist.
@dojobsu i really appreciate it :) Some moments are better than others, but I think it's time I put this problem to an end and get help! Thank you :) :)
These quotes are soooo inspiring to me. Kim Basigner said things exactly as they are going for me. I'll go out in public, have a good time maybe, feel drained after, then want to hide as long as I can. When I dress up, I regret it, knowing that I don't want people looking at me. I get so scared of seeing people I may know or any kind of situation I can't control, and never want to leave my house.
Idk what I have.. I always get nervous when I'm put on the spot in school or asked to answer a question and do presentations but I think most people are like that, but I'm not afraid to go out and do stuff and talk to people I'm fine with that no problem I just hate public speaking and presentations.. Idk what's my problem
I've been struggling with this my entire life and I'm 35. This disorder sometimes makes me feel like I'm broken or something. Very frustrating! The worst is having SAD while being in high school ... Now that is hellish.
@kljMN2 im in highschool now, and yeah, it sucks . im thinking maybe i can try starting over, and going to a new school , in a new town..but thats not going to change because i will still have this disorder.
@XxOneTrueKillxX There are no legit tests for psychological problems such as social anxiety. Any pyschologist can "diagnose" you with that but it doesnt mean it is true. Now a days you can get an anti depressant drug soo easily. SAD breaks you down if you are "strong" and can fight through it that means you do not have SAD. SAD is for people who can't hide it. SAD is not something you can't hide or ignore if you have it there WILL be a toll you have to pay.
@B9King937 I have SAD. I always feel self-conscious, I blush easily, I always care about being judged. The 1st day of this semester I started blushing just because the teacher asked me a simple question. I'm really awkward and I isolate my self sometimes so I won't have to talk. I get panic attacks and everything else in class. This valentine's day I couldn't do anything because I was to anxious to talk to the girl. I have it I just view life openly and make the best of what I have.
@kljMN2 I feel bad for you man. I wouldnt be able to live with that the rest of my life. I had it bad when i was a kid but with practice i got it reduced to just being a little shy so its not even a disorder for me anymore thank god. You got a lot of balls living with that tho
Im 50 years old and have suffered from Social Anxiety from my childhood. I believe it comes from a lack of self confidence that people love you and that you care whether they love you or not. Its a self perception that you have to be perfect to be normal and your worst critic is yourself. I became a Christian at 25 and learned there is no perfection in this life and that Christ loved me at my worst so its has rehabilitated me mentally, but the flesh is slow to learn.
Bullshit not anxiety.. They're doing fine.. If I was to go out and dance before thousands of people, I would forget all steps right away. I would be too paralyzed to move
@somotastic21 Not saying they aren't. However, you don't have to be anxious about speaking in public to experience social anxiety. It could be as simple as walking through a crowded store. Even when there are no expectations of speaking social anxiety can occur.
@somotastic21 Yea. It sucks. I hate trying to explain it to people. I pretty much gave up on it. The worst is when people say, oh I have social anxiety too. They think being nervous is the same thing. It's not. Well, since you have social anxiety too, I'm glad to know you.
(3rd part) then, all of a sudden...I just broke down, I was crying....I'm all like, Oh shit...this isn't happening! I was so embarrased. So, I'm there crying in front of my Mom, Dad, and sister...they were just looking at me like, "what's wrong?" I just told them that I didn't really want to be there cuz I was freaking out...yes, it got that bad...so, I leave the restaurant...holding my tears cuz I didn't want other ppl seeing me cry and I just went to the car and cried. It was the worst...8(.
@TheLiZabe89 Ugh dude, whats the big deal with restaurants?? No one cares about what u eating or how you eat, they're more worried about themselves, just like you are with yourself..People are selfish, they only truly care about their own nose. Keep that thought in ur head.
(my 2nd part to my story)...and, yeah...I just wanted to leave but I couldn't because my food wasn't served to me yet. Couple of mins. later, my food got here...and I couldn't eat, I was too nervous. I froze up, I felt horrible...I couldn't move because I thought I was gonna have a muscle spasm or something...and I didn't want to look stupid. I didn't want people looking at me...my heart was beating so fast, my palms were sweating, I felt hot n cold...I was really nervous and then, all of
The worst experience I've had with my s.a.d. was this year...it happened in a restaurant, I didn't even want to go there...I was already foreshadowing how scary and how nervous I was going to get before going in. So, I was just telling myself..."I can do this, it's no big deal." Boy, was I wrong! I went in and it was okay...not many people, so I wasn't that nervous but then more people started coming in and I was sitting at the worst spot, right in the middle tables...surrounded by many people.
@Brittnoiserz: hey research something called EFT which stands for Emotional Freedom Technique which is a useful, quick to learn tool that can ease phobias, anxiety etc. Have a look at this site for more info or do your own search on Google: eftuniverse(.)com
I've been a performer and on stage from one degree to another since I was 15 years old and now, in Hollywood, persuing my dream as an actor, 30 years later, I still deal with anxiety that is debilitating. I have asked myself, "why do I subject myself to this pain" and, yet, in spite of such self reflection I still press forward; auditioning, new situations, etc... I have no anwer. It is what it is- though, after watching this video, for the first time, I do not feel alone in my struggle. - L
@Lawrencebucher66 I am an actor too, Lawrence. Being in a scene is one of the few times I feel completely free, at least at the moment. I really do think we must have more courage than most people-- because to be in a profession which REQUIRES all attention to be on you, and to be afraid of being the center of attention, that's really something.
Besides, I KNOW I can get over this-- I haven't had it all my life, and neither have you. It's not something you are born with.
i got over my social anxiety so easily and didnt realize it...if you want to ask me questions about how i did it message me..it all wont fit in this description..ill tell you 1 thing that for sure works....think before you speak...and be realistic..all people have anxiety when speaking to others..its human nature...why do you think loud people hang with other loud people...they have ANXIETY around quiet people..its life..just talk to people if you want to..any questions message..happy to help!!!
@RockaWear2183 nah mines was ROUGH and on top of that im black..its ALOT harder for us on the count of social pressure such as stereotypes...the standard for us is higher..people in my community dont help or understand the situation..one thing i did was get self esteem..focus on your good qualities and not the bad..thats how i got over my anxiety..trust me..i almost didnt graduate becuase i couldnt look people in the eyes..my family thought i was weird..i was always bullied but not anymore!! :)
@kimkrisrich I know right? I was gonna say that myself... hers is very apparent and people often mistake her for being shy or worse 'cranky' :( ... I soo feel for her
@Brittnoiserz ive had it nearly all my life since 12 years old, im 27 now. Its funny to think of it at an outsider view, but for me everyday im so damn tired. Everyone asks me why are you so tired, college is so easy compared to a job you should be enjoying it. Well I do enjoy college but, when panic attacks start coming its like hell.
It sucks having social anxiety disorder! I hate it. Most people don't understand what it is so they just think your crazy or weird or somethin. I don't know where to get help but I still try doin things. I manage to go to the movies and shoppin sometimes. I go out to eat rarely like once or twice a year. I can't work, going thru a interview and workin with people I don't know is torture. Its a struggle to do anything. I just stay in my room online or somethin. Anyone want to talk, message me.
The celebrities in this video do not necessarily have SAD. Only Donnie Osmond actually said he has it in an interview. Everyone else just made comments about anxiety or other issues and you are assuming they have SAD. It would be nice if a video about celebrities that have SAD actually HAD the disorder.
Well of course their number ONE fear is speaking in public and THEN death. Because speaking is something you face when you're alive, death is something that happens when it happens, most of us don't have to face it any time soon and when we do, that's that.
Thankyou so much for giving us this video. I had no idea so many celebrities had SAD and it helps to know that it can be overcome and you cans till reach your dreams. Btw what is the music used?!
I have an anxiety disorder, and agoraphobia. I feel bad for Kim Basinger because she is such a beautiful talented lady. :( Hopefully it is better for her now.
See, I have no problems getting up in front of a bunch of people and talking, but having a conversation with people I don't know well scares me so much that I've barely done anything social for years.
@Brittnoiserz I agree, and to anyone making this a superficial matter: anxiety isn't intrinsically caught up in physical appearance. It comes about due to subjective experience. It doesn't matter how attractive you are if you have had inadequate parenting or experienced trauma. Countless things can lead to paranoia.
@DeLightToDeLirium its not paranoia, but hyper sensitivity. i had to change many aspects of my life. what i ate and drank, my sleeping patterns, excercise and things. my whole life i felt completely alienated from the world. to many i was a dumb mute. but over the years (im 24 now) im getting better. i'll never be perfect but no one is :)
that is very amazing i need to clear my anxiety because i want to become an actress one day. i have always wanted to be an actress ever since i was a little girl. i also have the aspergers syndrome which is a different form of autism. my mom says the autism part gives me the talents... and i was shocked.
@krnekiizhriba They are clearly lying about some of these celebrities. A person with social anxiety disorder could never be like Barbra Streisand. Even the thought of public speaking is to much for someone with SAD.
@shinznay I feel your pain. There are so many of us who are suffering alone from this disorder. I'm 28 and i think the older you get it's even worst. I'm so tired of people asking why a good looking guy like me is still single. We need to really support each other. Contact me anytime if you wanna talk or chat.
@demarioda1 the same with me! they ask me why i dont have a boyfriend, why i dont want to go out to parties, im just like some freak :( its horrable. and thank you, i feel less alone knowing there are people in the same situation as me xxx
@demarioda1 You are definately not alone. There are millions of people who suffer from this. What's crazy is that no one really seems to talk about it.
@demarioda1 im 28 too with fresh onset anxiety...and im really attractive.... with BDD too. ive never seen a dr before in my life until i started having panic and anxiety.. thot i was dying. anyway message me sometime. :)
@Kerrinbay Hey, I personally believe that SAD, BDD, and lots of these other disorders are all connected. I've also had body image problems. Like thinking that i'm overweight when i'm really not. We don't see things the way the average person does. Email me anytime at demario17@hotmail.com
actually I was quite heartened by this clip. It's good to know there are people out there dedicating their time and talents to helping others without any thought of reward for themselves..thank you Stuart for making this
Please read the book: The highly sensitive person and The introvert advantage. There is nothing wrong with you. You live in a society that suppress your personality. A society where people put a smile on and act nice, but the truth is different, and the vibes they send out, you feel. So in reality you are an Empat. Psychiatrist and the extrovert society do not feel this way, and make you feel wrong instead of researching what it’s really about. You FEEL others feelings.
@Since1907baby i thinks its because as much as people hate to admit society still really cares about looks. unnattractive people have to replace their deficit in good looks for other stuff such as being nice or funny and if they feel that they don't than their going to feel more anxious about people liking them since they don't have as good qualities.
@Since1907baby for example my best friend happens to be very attractive and me not so much, guys tend to flock to her and accept her flaws more because she is beautiful then you have me who has to work at getting them to warm up to me by finding some way to make myself more appealing so i have to depend on my personality. I don't think I have a good personality so the thought of conversation makes me nervous
@MsStarburstChic I know what you mean. Thats why some girls give it up easy, to make up for their relative disadvantage. Looks are very subjective, most hot girls don't even have a perfect face or body. Its really the way they carry themselves. Its psychological, guys pick up on attitude just by looking at them and automatically decide if their hot or not. If you act like your hot and always have been, dress and carry yourself that way...they will believe your hot! Unless your verydumb & hideous
@Since1907baby Attractiveness has nothing to do with social anxiety. Anxiety is something thats felt on the inside, so a "hot" person can appear perfectly fine but have internal anxiety. I have this disorder and am complemented frequently on my appearance. I have known tons of outgoing people who were unattractive and quieter people who were attractive.
thank you so much. I am just like these people...can put on a front and people would never know how much it takes to get out of the house....thank you for uploading this....I pray for better days...days when I can hold down a job and things :-)
@Lyn7721 Ok, but. In every day language people may say: she had a panic attac because she saw a spider. However that DOESN'T mean that this person actully has a diagnosed panic attac disorder, where panic attacks are caused by nothing specific, not being afraid of people or animals. It's just every day language, that we hear often, it's a mistaken diagnosis of aragnofobia(fear of spiders). People just see a reaction for spider or smt else. It's not panic attack disorder, it's other fobia.
@Lyn7721 I have had panic attacs, and agorafobia, and let me guarantee you , they have nothing to do with other people, or being afraid of social situations or other people. it's just simply a fear of leaving your safety place too far. Panic attacs are caused chemical inbalance in brain. It's lack of serotonine in brain.Nothing to do with other people.
english isn't my first language, but according my understanding agorafobia and social anxiety ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. They are not the same at all. Person can have agorafobia, but isn't not afraid of social situations or other people at all. It annoys me when these 2 are put together. as if agorafobics would be afraid of social situations.
Only evil in this world are negative thoughts. Once you get into trap of brain you can never come out of it. by watching these type of videos. I am originally from India. try breathing exercises that will make you fearless as god. You all will become super confident but for that you have to put slight effort and keep faith in it. Visit my channel and try" kapalbhati pranayama" or just search for it in you tube. Just practice every day 15 minutes.
@YourGamesAndMusic no ur wrong dipshit i have s.a.d i know serious cases of social disorder. she doesnt even have it. You wouldnt even be able to talk infront of people on a microphone like that.
There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot-dot-com.
Marilyn Monroe's diary pages were published in a book called Fragments recently and it sounded like she had bouts of anxiety disorder at certain times.
AH AH (laugh). I always want to do great things but I found it bullshit because most of these thing I know are impossible with or WITHOUT this type phobia anyway:
Get to NBA
To have sex with different women while traveling across different races
Go out and kill one racist piece of shit nigger
I could still do something I think is shit while getting help:
@barnesfam Michael Jackson did surely have some form of anxiety disorder. It's hard to tell what kind it was though, but SAD fits a number of his symptoms, like the perfectionism, lack of self-assurance and lack of love life. He was also very self-conscious, about his looks especially. A lot of ppl wear sun glasses so that they can avoid eye contact, and I think that was the case for him.
truly inspiring for a person like me with social anxiety. I didnt know that some of these celebrities use to have this disorder. I love this video, thank you.
Thank you for this, I want to be a filmmaker when I'm older and seeing these people achieve what they have with the same problem i have is truly insipiring
Ah Lisa Gerrard, one of my fave vocalists from that Dead Can Dance group. And thanks to Kim for this. Bless the Child is one of my favorite movies that she was in. I have this disorder around all of my family members and my friends as well. It is a constant conflict between the emotional fear of being rejected and just flat out wishing that you did not or do not have to be somewhere. May God bless your work here and everyone who reads this post.
I LOVE IT.. THANK YOU FOR THIS..I love kim basinger, had no idea she was a sufferer as well.. makes me feel not so alone in this, even celebs have S.A.D. - some of which have gotten past it (:
Very nice indeed! just realized a few days ago i have a SAD and am going to nail that motherfucker in a little while.. There is no way im going to tolerate this shit that has been fucking up my life for so long.. thinking of all those wasted opportunities just flips me out!
I am not afraid of public speaking, meaning doing a speech, or performing a role etc.
But I always find that when im trying to talk to people in conversation, unless they are the closest of close friends, I feel like I dont want to talk because I feel I will say something wrong and I hate just walking with someone and not saying a single thing...
@xaxie1 I have this too! Social anxiety, I think, only refers to social situations. Day-to-day things in real life, not situations where it's all set up and people therefore know exactly what to expect. say, with a speech - loud voice, say your words clearly, have good content and it's done! but when talking in conversation...I always wonder why people don';t want to talk to me again - am I being annoying or do I just remain at bare acquaintance status with them?But I'm confident acting roles
I've had this my whole life been homeless most my life. Living in a shelter now but I tell you it never goes away. My years of drugs and alcihol abuse just made the ride more Insane.veen on meds for 3 years but they dont help much. I am 40 now but feel it the same as when I was 7.

@somotastic21 Not saying they aren't. However, you don't have to be anxious about speaking in public to experience social anxiety. It could be as simple as walking through a crowded store. Even when there are no expectations of speaking social anxiety can occur.

The worst experience I've had with my s.a.d. was this year...it happened in a restaurant, I didn't even want to go there...I was already foreshadowing how scary and how nervous I was going to get before going in. So, I was just telling myself..."I can do this, it's no big deal." Boy, was I wrong! I went in and it was okay...not many people, so I wasn't that nervous but then more people started coming in and I was sitting at the worst spot, right in the middle tables...surrounded by many people.

@Lawrencebucher66 I am an actor too, Lawrence. Being in a scene is one of the few times I feel completely free, at least at the moment. I really do think we must have more courage than most people-- because to be in a profession which REQUIRES all attention to be on you, and to be afraid of being the center of attention, that's really something.
Besides, I KNOW I can get over this-- I haven't had it all my life, and neither have you. It's not something you are born with.

@Brittnoiserz I agree, and to anyone making this a superficial matter: anxiety isn't intrinsically caught up in physical appearance. It comes about due to subjective experience. It doesn't matter how attractive you are if you have had inadequate parenting or experienced trauma. Countless things can lead to paranoia.

Please read the book: The highly sensitive person and The introvert advantage. There is nothing wrong with you. You live in a society that suppress your personality. A society where people put a smile on and act nice, but the truth is different, and the vibes they send out, you feel. So in reality you are an Empat. Psychiatrist and the extrovert society do not feel this way, and make you feel wrong instead of researching what it’s really about. You FEEL others feelings.

Since1907baby 10 months ago
@Since1907baby i thinks its because as much as people hate to admit society still really cares about looks. unnattractive people have to replace their deficit in good looks for other stuff such as being nice or funny and if they feel that they don't than their going to feel more anxious about people liking them since they don't have as good qualities.

@Since1907baby for example my best friend happens to be very attractive and me not so much, guys tend to flock to her and accept her flaws more because she is beautiful then you have me who has to work at getting them to warm up to me by finding some way to make myself more appealing so i have to depend on my personality. I don't think I have a good personality so the thought of conversation makes me nervous
MsStarburstChic 9 months ago
@MsStarburstChic I know what you mean. Thats why some girls give it up easy, to make up for their relative disadvantage. Looks are very subjective, most hot girls don't even have a perfect face or body. Its really the way they carry themselves. Its psychological, guys pick up on attitude just by looking at them and automatically decide if their hot or not. If you act like your hot and always have been, dress and carry yourself that way...they will believe your hot! Unless your verydumb & hideous

@Since1907baby Attractiveness has nothing to do with social anxiety. Anxiety is something thats felt on the inside, so a "hot" person can appear perfectly fine but have internal anxiety. I have this disorder and am complemented frequently on my appearance. I have known tons of outgoing people who were unattractive and quieter people who were attractive.

@Lyn7721 Ok, but. In every day language people may say: she had a panic attac because she saw a spider. However that DOESN'T mean that this person actully has a diagnosed panic attac disorder, where panic attacks are caused by nothing specific, not being afraid of people or animals. It's just every day language, that we hear often, it's a mistaken diagnosis of aragnofobia(fear of spiders). People just see a reaction for spider or smt else. It's not panic attack disorder, it's other fobia.

@Lyn7721 I have had panic attacs, and agorafobia, and let me guarantee you , they have nothing to do with other people, or being afraid of social situations or other people. it's just simply a fear of leaving your safety place too far. Panic attacs are caused chemical inbalance in brain. It's lack of serotonine in brain.Nothing to do with other people.

english isn't my first language, but according my understanding agorafobia and social anxiety ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. They are not the same at all.

@barnesfam Michael Jackson did surely have some form of anxiety disorder. It's hard to tell what kind it was though, but SAD fits a number of his symptoms, like the perfectionism, lack of self-assurance and lack of love life. He was also very self-conscious, about his looks especially. A lot of ppl wear sun glasses so that they can avoid eye contact, and I think that was the case for him.
