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 will try this, I hope it will work. I have problems being myself around people because I am anxious and therefor freeze up and don't know what to say and end up being a boring person.
So does this make you friends? I can ok with accepting social anxiety. I'm not ok with accepting being a lonely loser with no life... give me friendship or give me death.
Lol i have the same problem i cant go to the gym, walk alone in school,talk with girls....but i am etting there with theqniques and gods help i will be superior one day.
This actually works, ill tell you how, this morning i woke up i was like ill try it while i go tto my old school and back i saw few mates walking opposite direction i usually start trembling and get panic attacks so i was like in my self i love social phobia i want more this is going to be good i love social phobia hhaha sounds weird but it works :)! thank you vladimir im going to try this for a week and ill get back with you guys :)!
hahahaha dude u made me laugh because it makes so much sense 2 me i mean i think ur actually right bout this, really just accepting that u have it n just rolling with it, owning it that it will have no effect on u instead of trying 2 push it away u love it n keep it n dame i just totally understand the concept of this. Ima try this with everything haha thx.
Heylo Valadimir, I am trying your technique. Hahahaha. Do you like playing with mice and bunnies cause I do? I think in the end you should tell people you were just being silly.
it's hard even when u do love it u still got that thought of stuffing up in the back of ur mind, :( isnt tht what where scared of :( and when we get a bad reaction frm ppl when we do something stupid tht were not aware of, how are we supposed to react? especially when were so scared of tht happening..
@Sexigirl634 but i think thats the thing, not 2 really put it away but 2 live with it 2 accept it n whatever happens happens once the situations gone just love it, i guess ima have 2 try it out 4myself
I also put myself in situations to overcome it. It goes away for awhile but comes back i dont know what to do i want to be social but its just not easy for me :(
It's amazing that you figured this out for yourself. A friend showed me a video on overcoming fear before and it recommended doing exactly what you just said. Accepting the fear, embracing it, not fighting the feeling, going with it. I have done this before a few presentations (as well as calm relaxing breathing, and keeping my hands warm). Helped me tremendously. Also I have done Cognitive Behavioral Therapy so I'm pretty good at spotting distorted thinking patterns and challenging them!
Cool!!! Keep it up, there is a paradox to this the technique of proscribing your own symtom is affective to overcome feeling of anxiety, and bad habit if you want to know more Google paradoxical intervention technique and you'll discover what I mean good luck
Very true man i have it and i do the same thing, you have to accept the feeling because everyone has that feeling they just do not battle it with their minds. Its a feeling it has to be accepted. Do not prepare your self for anxious situations.
How's your SA coming now Vladimir are you over it? I now see what you mean about "getting excited" about it - it is a chance to learn and overcome it.
That makes sense. When you fight this feeling it gets worse. But when you accept it instead, and even love it and want it, you become more relax and it gets better. Thank's for sharing.
Man what a good point. What you have said actually made me so happy that I started to laugh. I think this along with trying to find something positive with the person you are interacting with and complimenting them on it will help a lot. Thank you!
This was big for you to do I have social anxiety because I use to be fat since I lost all the weight and look a lot better now I still have the fat persons mind.. Get it?
@bebeto158 your exactly right!...because ignoring what you have can get been worse,and it's almost like this guy is just dancing around his problems...not really taking care of it.and as you can see the poor guy is even having trouble talking here in his video!
hey man. your right, i agree i have attempted this method and it worked. now i will just be that way. that is really the only way. just be stupid because our brain is trying to protect us from being stupid so your actually going against what you believe in. nice man!
Personally, I over come my 'social anxiety' by paying a prostitute fifty dollars. It works every time, especially when I combine it with my friday night drunken binge. Damn boy, how fuckin' strange is this? I use that technique and embrace my 'social anxiety' too.
Brah, this is a great strategy. Accepting your problems and who you are is just about the best way to overcome your fears. Keep up the good work brah.
If you tried everything with no result, try my method! My method is simply this: tell everyone you know you have social phobia! Hey, just think about it. You are not telling people you are an alien or something. Social phobia is something that millions of people experience around the world. It's part of humanity. So tell everyone, your friends, your family, your school mates. When having a panic attack, just tell the people around you. By telling people, you eliminate your #1 fear. Good luck!
listen this has done a little good for me. that is i try and its hard but try not to jugde anybody or anything and if you do jugde them do it in a postive way. thats one trick. and another is to tell urself that ur the most important person too ur self, and that others don't think ur are important to them. i'm not a doctor but u know i feel like i know me better than a doctor.
Hold on, so do you try to be stupid or you just try to be yourself? Just to be sure. I think many people suffering from SAD, like myself, have problems accepting who they are. Embracing the condition as a part of one's identity seems creepy, but if you don't mind saying stupid stuff, you can truly be yourself. Too many of us think that they can only say stupid stuff and be awkward, but hey, some "awkward" people like that actually manage to be respected and are considered unique other than weir
you are doing everything wrong, by getting yourself into super awkard situations, you are making your social anxiety worse ... what causes social anxiety are automatic negative thoughts that u had for many years, they are automatic and your not conscious of them, they make you feel embarraseed and anxious in social situations, social anxiet is cured when you get rid of these thoughts, only way to do that is with CBT therapy. and it takes months even years.
@bebeto158 I will have to disagree...He's actually facing his fears HEAD ON and that's what your suppose to do. By VladimirRussianDude putting himself in awkward situations he's getting rid of those negative thoughts, by realizing that being in those social situations is not so bad. If he really is acting a fool trying to sound dumb/stuttering, then that probably will make it worse :)
I have adult acne which has made me self concious and anxious. I feel so ugly with boils on my face and I feel everyone is looking at them. How can I get cured? Nothing gets rid of the acne.
@pingtran im 17 and i would say that accutane really got rid of a lot of my acne in the end, but it also gave my extremely severe cystic acne on my face and back and chest which to this day, about 2 years later, im still riddled with the scars from it. it gets worse before it gets better, but chance is that it wont affect you in the awful way it affected me, so i say go for it. lots of people have huge success with this drug.
Holla! Have you considered anxiety zero technique (I think its at anxiety0.info)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my sister pretty much cured anxiety with it
i feel like this way will end up making somebody explode /sarcasm. in all seriousness though, thats great that you have a way that works for you, i have just recognized why i have been so socially inept all my life and am now starting my journey to fix it! thank you and best of luck
I'm 51 years of age, and i have had SAD in varying degrees from severe to mild depending on the situation. Avoidance behaviour has been a big theme for me. After decades of life i now have 1 message that overides all and it is "UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AVOID THE SOCIAL SITUATION". Most times the anxiety will get better in the situation or u will have some improvnement. Avoiding will make it worse and give u depression. Listen to my experience. Withstand the anxiety and do! Nike theme - just do it
psychedelic mushrooms seem to help me wonders with social anxiety. Always when I take them I feel much more comfortable with myself than I did before. They wont completely get rid of it in 1 shot, but over time they have helped me tremendously. ALso, its important to just get out there and talk to as many people as you can. I hate SA, but what this guy is saying is very helpful information. you must embrace your feelings and learn to live with them instead of pushing it away all the time
that makes sense... I've known people who seem to do that, cause they're so loud and awkward at the same time, but I don't know If they're social anxious. take care
guys let me tell you that medical treatment is not the cure but helps a lot don't think you'll be stigmatized...been on 1 year and a half in sertraline and feeling 300% better
@lee89MD Do you think you'd still feel 300% better if you got off Sertraline? I've thought about taking meds for my SAD, but I'd much rather get over it through away that's a bit more natural than putting something in my body. For some reason I think meds are really the only thing that would help though, because I have no idea what it's like to feel what I think a normal (normal being a person without SAD) person would feel like.
@wh15p3r Hi! I'm trying to express my point of view, antidepressant (which is just a wrong name, ot helps fr many other conditions) medications help, and they're not addictive, in my case I'm sure of that since I've been without medication for months cause I ran out of it. I just want you to know that taking medication shouldn't be stigmitized, antipsychiatry movement has just made things even worse making people feel unworthy wothout will or weak because they're taking a treatment.
@itsthearistocrat what is Acceptance and Commitment therapy? where can i start with this? is it a a whole school of therapy, as in cognitive? would appreciate any response
hey everyone I had Social anxiety & I overcame it, with tools I have learned the past months, & Im here to help you out! Check out my channel, and I will be posting videos to help you out! Its curable, its how you think!
I never leave the house because im too scared to talk to anyone. Like i leave the house and fear just pumps up scared of saying a word to anyone. I have like these 3 friends i can interact with without worry but meeting new people is simply impossible for me. I hate having Social Anxiety :*(
As I've gotten older, I have accepted that my social interactions are generally going to be unpolished and acted with minimum effort. In the past, I hated myself for not being as normal as those around me. Now, I'm working on embracing my peculiarity, not in celebration, but more like the way I enjoy someones company. Hating yourself is very stressful, and there is no point and no end to such a wasteful effort. Congratulations on finding your way.
@anthonyparc what helps me is that everytime i get these nervous thoughts or feel like im being judged i just say to myself in my head that these feeling are fake and it helps alot and think about if you do something stupid and get laughed at people forget about and dont stress over it.
dude... i may have to tale your picture and add it to my heros album on fb lol. i never thought of anxiety this way and the best way to overcome it is to accept it and embrace it. this may actually work. just the thought of trying it eased up some feeling in my stomach area, (sounds wierd but im serious lol) thanks bro
" I can be myself now " Thats awesome, great idea. To just accept it rather than change it and not being yourself.
This is going to sound gay but a show where Tony Hawk took a bad fall he said you have to go with confidence otherwise you'll fail the rail ...something like that
Hey I suffered from that since I started school, and i've improved this past 3 years so much..my method was being around people who were the opposite of me..bein around my boyfriend who would use any excuse to have people over, or go out and hang with others, and even though i hated it so much..without knowing it I have improved so much. Whenever you said you have read nearly every social anxiety book I immediately thought no wonder you weren't really improving - you were focusing on it.....>>
@acetennischick........< instead of occupying yourself and doing stuff you enjoy. i read the secret which teaches you you should believe you are something to become that person, even though the book is nonsense the lesson behind it definatly works...tell yourself you are what you wanna be and put it in your subconsious mind...and without really being consious of it you will become that person. This is my personal view anyway, great advice though, I have never tried that method :)
look everybody in this world people are going to think and have an opinion on anything now a days we got to except that there are haters out there and people are going to judge you no matter what stay positive it's not hard to talk to people stop being so down on yourselves
You're a damn genuis. Just recently I was at a meeting for my job and I was asked to role play a scenario in front of my co-workers and I unexpectedly became very nervous. My mind went blank and my breathing became very heavy. I felt everyone could see I was nervous and this of course made me more nervous. For the most part I have my anxiety under control, but it's these situations where it overwhelms me. Maybe your method can help me!
No!!! Do NOT smoke Marijuana! That is the worse you can do. The chemicals in a THC or INDICA dominant strain will just WORSEN your symptoms and cloud your judgement. i.e. If you are feeling bad and/or insecure, fearful...it will make you feel WAY WORSE. Trust me...I have SAD and it just made it worse for me...made me start thinking I was Bi-sexual and shyt when I know I am NOT. SAD just made me feel like people REALLY thought that, and when I would smoke weed, it was worse! No good, trust me.
@SANFRANCISCOBRONX whats wrong with being bisexual? I used to experience some really bad trips and panic attacks/ social phobia when I would listen to depressive music like death metal while smoking up, try listening to some upbeat music when your stoned like psytrance, you would feel ecstatic trust me and it would empower you to leave your house with a huge smile on your face ...I've tried all kinds of medication to treat my social anxiety and marijuana has proven to be the best cure so far.
@douchebag21 Nothing wrong with being Bi at ALL, I just stopped smoking because whatever chemical in the weed I was smoking was making me THINK I was bi...and I am not. Thats all. It just messes with your brain and imbalances chemicals. So..it;s not for me. Everyone's Physiology is different, so..I choose NOT to snoke. But if it makes you feel better, morepower to you. I just don't think it works. My opinion only. BTW, what helped me was being honest with myself and a great psychologist.
Hey thanks a lot for sharing this russian dude, at the very least it brought me some hope :) but i think it could help. Hope your doing well and are overcoming your anxiety as well.
@xan0therxnumberx The Russian dude is in denial. He goes out and then he makes blunders and doesn't know how to talk to people. He thinks he found a solution, but I don't think he really believes in it.
@tabletilter8 as long as the initial euphoria lasts ..... yes I did experience some paranoia a few times but I've learnt how to control the trip by listening to some upbeat music, once the high wears off I feel an incredible sense of calm and that enables me to go out and work without having to be crippled by social phobia or anxiety.... this usually lasts for like 3 or 4 days after which i have to smoke again or else I find it increasingly difficult to leave my house.
@Noise509 You are only partially right. If you do the same things over and over again, you have to make sure you are learning something and not repeating the same mistakes. To most guys with social enxiety, talking to women is like hitting a concrete wall - they hit it over and over without making a dent in it.
man ur awesome should wright a book i had realy bad anxiety and you just made me wanna go somewhere i would normaly find overwhelming nooning elce could dream of doing that thanks but itll pass
You stopped doing it because it was boring and difficult to maintain, it was not specific enough. You need to get Dr. Richards Audio program Overcoming social anxiety. That is 20 1 hour lessons with cognitive behavioral techniques. You are supposed to work on them 30 minutes a day. Better than reading books on SA or Shyness. Only through persistency and hard work does it help. 5 most stupid useless words. 1 Friendly. 2 Boring 3 No fun 4 Shy 5 Introvert. Also eat vegetarian, exercise get energy
Your a fucking genius, all the other solutions like going through your thoughts are too obvious solutions I know my social anxiety is foolish and I know people arent probably thinking these things but I myself just mindfuck myself cuz im scared of me being scared.. but if I chase the scared feeling instead of letting it chase me then I am the true victor, write a book man
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.
What you have discovered, I also discovered about anxiety attacks, I call it the great Fear Paradox. Fear makes you want to run away and avoid fearful stimuli and the more you run the more you confirm your fear. But if you act the opposite, and go towards the fear, then it goes away. I no longer have anxiety attacks, when ever I start to feel one I tell myself I really want to have it and it goes away.
But watching your video, A wave of calm came over me, a memory, of a kid who came from another country when he was 7.. scared shitless and teased for his accent. He learned to love himself for everything they hated, and they loved him for it.
I forgot one of the most important things, lessons in my life and you reminded me.
Also, you, as I, are pretty good looking guys, it's weird that this truly effects all of us in some degree. Keep your chin up pal, thanks fro the help.
I hear your russian? why not walk? ho ho ho. Ok, so, Today I had a massive panic attack, as I walked away, as you can empathize, I beat myself up pretty bad, the situation was actually with friends, people who actually love me even though i don't trust that fact. Because I think im too awkward.. I've been mr popular in the past but lately i've developed a fear of talking to anyone new, but even seeming different to people who know me.. I got so stuck up in it.
OK I get it now. Everything I do is going to go straight to go hell anyway. So might as well try to enjoy the ride. It`s a bit hard to do in practice.
you are partly right. what you are close to is self acceptance and you are actually doing exactly what CBT says. but saying "i love feeling terrible" i think is just silly
This video has helped me to an extent, but liking my social anxiety is very very difficult to do. I mean how would you like feeling nervous around ppl? and isnt it very self-deprecating when you laugh at your nervous illness? I know i havn't been very positive but that is onhestly how I feel.
I will try to like my social anxiety, hoping I will get there by practice, but it feels like it could be misleading and i mite end up humouring myself.
I think all these disgnoses are the real problem. They make people think of themselves being ill. They wanna to make all deviants back to social norms.
Just be oneself, it's life, your life, and it's different.
I really like your philosophy on this, Vladimir. Wow, I'm following you through this thinking it would let off so much stress to just "be who we are" without trying to be a carbon copy of all those "perfect cool people" in the world who have it "so together". I really love this the more I think about it. Thanks for a great vid!
This is real interesting. Next time I have events playing back in my mind, I'm going to start using your method of not judging what I've done, but considering what I could have done to make myself appear more unusual.
Thanx for this video I added it to my favorites and I will try to follow your method. Hopefully it will work for me as well because all the advice from books just didnt help me. I read those books and then I forget to follow the advice in real life. So thanks again, it sounds like a great idea what you said!!! Im very happy I found your vid because Im struggeling with shyness and social anxiety for the last 16 years:(
Well I guess it's basically accepting that those feelings are human, and it won't kill you. Embarassement won't hurt unless you focus on it all the time and think of it negatively. Though I must say you have a LOT of courage to do this. I've been stuck with social phobia for a while now, about 5-6 years and it never occured to me to do that!
is it possible that if you just walk down the street and sing out loud and people will smile at you maybe or even chuckle a bit that it might make you feel connected with someone and even liked by someone if they smile at you..so long as you take it as a compliment and not laughing AT you. I think perhaps this connection would produce a feel good type of high that yes might last for a day or two as someone mentioned. Perhaps then it is necessary to do 1 thing per day that forces u 2 b extrovrted
Wooh! Thank god. . . 6:30pm lately, i finally overcome my SA. I feel emotionally happy and free without any negative thoughts in my mind. And i discover that only faith can heal all sufferer like us. BTW i dont use any medication, cause i know its not the real treat, SA is NOT an illness, its just our emotion :-)
@Chriomuz, how did you do it bro? Please tell me how you overcome it, im realy stuck in this illness, i feel that everyday its getting more worst, by the way, its started last 2008. . . I realy appreciate if you can help me :-(
Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it. In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me. Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary. God's healing power is ETERNAL! Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent. The cure for fear is FAITH! Fear limits you. FAITH ENABLES YOU! People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE. READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY! God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM...
Hi guys, i have the same problem too. . . And i dont know how to cure it. I always feel ashamed even infront of my friends, and specialy in the girls. . . i feel that nobody cares of me, and the most worst thing i feel is that only suicide can help my problem. Please i need help :-( Sory for my bad english . . BTW im a 17 yer old guy.
I just started this new approach and I can see it helps you as well.( I will try to "sing" for more extended period an we will see).I would like to keep in touch with you so we can share ideas.Good luck Успехов
PS Have you tried "overcoming social anxiety step by step" by Dr Richards?What do you think about it?
My name is Alex.I am from Belarus;but I have been living in the USA for about 2 years.I realized that when I wiling to do something "embarrassing" for example I started to sing(yell) on the streets even tho I am a terrible singer(I blush sweat nad shake and still yell even more) lol my SAD goes away for a couple days and I feel freaking awesome but after 2-3 days I feel like my SAD mindset comes back.
Interesting, I'll give this a shot. So far the only thing that has worked for me is to get more involved in my mind and pay less attention to my surroundings.
Thanks a lot for the video! Great for you that the method worked. I'll definitely give it a try and hope it'll work for me too :) Wish you'll continue to get better int he future!
I'm at uni at the moment and I feel like such a pussyhole I just can't bring myself to talk to my flatmates and God I want to! but evreytime I try I find myself incapable of doing so and I just amj so scare of them judging me

Personally, I over come my 'social anxiety' by paying a prostitute fifty dollars. It works every time, especially when I combine it with my friday night drunken binge. Damn boy, how fuckin' strange is this? I use that technique and embrace my 'social anxiety' too.

If you tried everything with no result, try my method! My method is simply this: tell everyone you know you have social phobia! Hey, just think about it. You are not telling people you are an alien or something. Social phobia is something that millions of people experience around the world. It's part of humanity. So tell everyone, your friends, your family, your school mates. When having a panic attack, just tell the people around you. By telling people, you eliminate your #1 fear. Good luck!

Hold on, so do you try to be stupid or you just try to be yourself? Just to be sure. I think many people suffering from SAD, like myself, have problems accepting who they are. Embracing the condition as a part of one's identity seems creepy, but if you don't mind saying stupid stuff, you can truly be yourself. Too many of us think that they can only say stupid stuff and be awkward, but hey, some "awkward" people like that actually manage to be respected and are considered unique other than weir

you are doing everything wrong, by getting yourself into super awkard situations, you are making your social anxiety worse ... what causes social anxiety are automatic negative thoughts that u had for many years, they are automatic and your not conscious of them, they make you feel embarraseed and anxious in social situations, social anxiet is cured when you get rid of these thoughts, only way to do that is with CBT therapy. and it takes months even years.

I'm 51 years of age, and i have had SAD in varying degrees from severe to mild depending on the situation. Avoidance behaviour has been a big theme for me. After decades of life i now have 1 message that overides all and it is "UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AVOID THE SOCIAL SITUATION". Most times the anxiety will get better in the situation or u will have some improvnement. Avoiding will make it worse and give u depression. Listen to my experience. Withstand the anxiety and do!

psychedelic mushrooms seem to help me wonders with social anxiety. Always when I take them I feel much more comfortable with myself than I did before. They wont completely get rid of it in 1 shot, but over time they have helped me tremendously. ALso, its important to just get out there and talk to as many people as you can. I hate SA, but what this guy is saying is very helpful information. you must embrace your feelings and learn to live with them instead of pushing it away all the time

No!!! Do NOT smoke Marijuana! That is the worse you can do. The chemicals in a THC or INDICA dominant strain will just WORSEN your symptoms and cloud your judgement. i.e. If you are feeling bad and/or insecure, fearful...it will make you feel WAY WORSE. Trust me...I have SAD and it just made it worse for me...made me start thinking I was Bi-sexual and shyt when I know I am NOT. SAD just made me feel like people REALLY thought that, and when I would smoke weed, it was worse! No good, trust me.

What you have discovered, I also discovered about anxiety attacks, I call it the great Fear Paradox. Fear makes you want to run away and avoid fearful stimuli and the more you run the more you confirm your fear. But if you act the opposite, and go towards the fear, then it goes away. I no longer have anxiety attacks, when ever I start to feel one I tell myself I really want to have it and it goes away.

I think perhaps this connection would produce a feel good type of high that yes might last for a day or two as someone mentioned.
