  • wow,that was actually really good to hear.I never had a moment where it started,so to speak,either.I don't think myn's as bad as yours but hearing that just kinda let's me know that I'm not alone and sort of confirms for me that I am that,even though I always sort of suspected it.It's weird to also hear a kind of reflection of my own thoughts.

    Thankyou for doing that

  • Thanks for posting this. :)

  • i do that too, i think its the worst thing where i end up just being completely silent

  • im like you in a way,do you have awkward smile that is a sign of severe SAD

  • your cute by the way

  • talking too quiet but i know how you think that your talking at a normal pitch but in reality your not it happens to me. i do it a lot in school and people think i mumble and nasty but really im just trying to be nice. nearly lost a friend because of my shyness she thought i ignored her but i told her its my shyness and she beilieved so thank god i saved a friendship cause i only have 6 friends

  • I have SA too. After googling, and lots of thinking, it seems that my SA is not really fear of what others think, but rather fearing my inner critic and my harshness on myself after making mistakes. I'm still in the process of researching, and hopefully will conquer it soon. Good luck to all SA'ers!

  • Hey everyone. I am currently working on a video and blog series about overcoming social anxiety. I have a PhD in psychology and decided to upload some material because I find so few professionals sharing their advice and expertise. Please look me up and check them out. I hope they will be helpful

  • hey lettigo. like yo video. did you ever try the Overcoming Social Anxiety series by Dr Richards? Or there is another way by which you are overcoming this.

  • I never knew I had anxiety either until I saw an Mtv commercial about it. You can feel all over the place emotionally when you don't know what's going on. It can be scary if it's panic attacks. I know how that feels, though that was 10 years ago.

  • love your voice :D

  • 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.

  • lol I know that feeling when someone asks you to do stuff and your just like "crap"

  • hope you are doing well, I just wanted to share that I had bad S/A aswell, nobody understands unless they have experienced it. Some of the things that turned my life around were - Holy Basil Tea, Stinging Nettle Tea, NO caffeine, exercise, Chelated Manesium and EFT technique - I have some anxiety but now have more confidence & love talking to ppl. your body really needs to recover from the lifetime of stress fear has brought on as this can cause adrenal damage and vit deficiencies. Take care!

  • im 28...I had this all my life...scept once i turned 24...i started becoming more hostile and violent the more i have to suffer being around other people...comes a time where u have no choice but to interact with people wether u like it or not...and the fear has just turned into contempt and rage....and the only way i can control my anger is to minimize contact with people to 3-4 hours max per day, or i just become violent and angry to be around...i prefer to be awake at night only, when i can

  • man, i LOVE your voice, and that little accent you got there. SUCH a sweatheart! XD. alot of the stuff that you've said is the same for me too, so i COMPLETELY understand where your coming from. and believe it or not, you are able to speak alot better than most people i've heard. you're very, very well-spoken, i was able to understand every word you've said. i hope that encourages you =) wish you the best of luck with everything, you can get through this.

  • I like her accent, shes a cutie

  • i also think analyse what im gonna say before hand when people would talk i would react with a laugh or if they would ask me a question i would give a quick straight answer, I know what it feels like i find myself getting embarressed about events that happened years ago

  • Your so cute I love your acsent. :3

  • You have such a good calm way of talking. I must say you seem like a great person to know. I hope you keep talking and sharing your thoughts, they are very helpful. Keep up the great work. I love it.

  • Sometimes I think social anxiety disorder is not a disorder at all. Maybe we are just introverted, and it is not our nature to adjust to the extroverted world.  Some people enjoy the company of others and some don't.

  • I just wanna hug you.

  • im 14 just puttin it out there so this dosent sound creepy...

    your beautiful when the video loaded my eyes opend wide open and i was just in aww, your voice sounds so calming and wonderful i also deal with anxiety i get alot of the symphons i get the chills,sweating,heart, all that stuff and im honestly just like you about going out side and being very self consiosion, i hope you me and everybody over comes this , have a wonderful life :)

  • This video has helped me a lot. I am so glad to know others are going through the same feelings as me. I hope we can get through this!

  • you have a really nice voice

  • Good luck with your future endevours this is the first video of yours I hav e watched. I will watch the others to see how you've progressed and hopefully get some inspiration thank you for your courage and character by uploading this video I know how uncomfortable it must have been to record this and how hard it must been so thanx again and good luck.. and @cakeeater jus tgurn the volume up then dipshit if ya can't hear properly she's softly spoken..

  • I cant hear a damn word you said the whole time. Speak up!

  • Please check out my channel. I used to suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, ocd and agarophobia. I no longer suffer or go through any of it. I have my testimony on how I overcame it all in "my uploads" section on my channel. Please see it...you can be saved from it with no meds, no paying for any "techinique" or paying for anything. It's not a sales strategy...it's my true story. Love you all.

  • @PureGraceEvangelism I agree with being saved from no medications. I am positive I have suffered from residual effects of Reactive Attachment Disorder since my childhood and to this day, I still have this feeling of feeling abandoned, not liked, not wanted, etc, but I refuse to take medication and always will. I believe I can overcome this, but unfortunately it will involve me doing some serious risk taking. Example: High altitude ski mountaineering.

  • Damn, your beautiful , smart, and possess a great personality . This expands my view of people who have this disorder from Asian douches ( like me) who sit and drink vodka and listen to nickelback all day to people like you

  • I suffer from severe social anxiety as well as sleep and nightmare anxiety. I really doubt I can do anything about either seeing as I have no real talents or positive experiences to reassure myself that things will be ok.

    See, at least people tell you you're cute so you have something to be at least partly confident about. I've never really got that...

  • Who gave this video an thumbs down?...

    :-/

  • sry about that. to the video poster. youre a beautiful and good natured girl with a lovely personality. stop worrying so much, it makes me sad to see such a normal girl worrying so much. i hope you feel better soon

  • kinda of a soft talker

  • you're... simply amazing

  • None of you have to live with this anymore. I know the frustration, embarrassment and fear that is involved. Please go to my site. You dont need to buy anything, I promise you its already been paid for fuentesevangelism-.-c-o-m-

  • i dnt know what to do. im 18 and some baseball friends wanted me to go drink with em tonite and watch a movie.. i turned em down as usual. my dad tells me im the creepy weirdo kid and ill be the big weirdo kid in college. my mom says im gonna be a killer. uggh im not a fukin sociopath.. just fukin worried about everything...im at the point where im at a bick wall.. im close to giving. up..fuck.. what ami gonna do

  • @DesertSmeagle your parents are fucking evil if they said that and know what youre going through mate.

  • Very good video, hang in there and bestrong

  • u have a relaxing voice... please keep talking :)

  • My anxieties always make me pissed off all the time and lately i've kind of become an asshole.. :-/

  • You're lovely.

  • When I rehearse things in my own head I can say them really fast, faster than humanly possible to annunciate probably which is why it usually comes out stiffled. Thinking about talking isn't the same as talking is why probably. I have a sentence planned but every time my turn comes I feel the rising anxiety roadblocking me in. The trick is slipping past the roadblock just once untill the border forces who get paid on comission finally resign:P

  • For me, part of the solution has been finding out about LOW BLOOD SUGAR.

    That'll make anyone feel bad and it's very common.

  • "sweetdictator" you are an idiot..

    This is more than just shyness...

  • wow I could never make a video about my SA, this is very big step to do, I think you are brave because i could never take the stupid comments people are making on you tube. But good for you to tackle the problem.

  • I am a boy with social anxiety. I think you are beautiful and have a very lovely voice!

    Thanks for making videos about this.

  • you look like such a lovely intelligent girl. i'd feel very lucky to have you as a friend i really mean that. take it easy on yourself you're fine.

  • Hey sweetie! Thanks for sharing this video. You have a real sweet voice =] And don't worry about the umm part! lol ..I do that also lol. Anyway.. I also have social Anxiety. I only have little friends that I feel really relax with. But if its with stranges I don't know or kinda know and my family. That's when my anxiety starts. I'm a very shy, and I get shaky when it happens. I really wish it would go away.

  • but people with SAD feel it to the extent that it prevents them from overcoming all of that like everyone else can do...

  • Give EFT a try ... Good Luck

  • Hey =) You are such a sweet gorgeous person! Well done for making a video & I hope to hear of you getting better ^ ^

  • You remind me of Emma Watson.

  • I totally understand social anxiety. I have anxiety as well.

    I think maryjane helps with it a lot, but I dislike the idea of being dependent on anything to feel uninhibited.

    I'm not ashamed of who I am, and neither should you. You seem like a nice person and your very pretty.

    I know first hand that my greatest enemy is my own ego, my own fear.

    If you do ever seek therapy, stay away from welbutrin and xanax and similar meds. They only seem to worsen the condition of social anxiety.

  • Dude I took fuckin prozac for awhile and It would put me into a rage with elevated bloodpressure at all times

  • She doesn't have an "ummmm" disease, she has social anxiety, you jackass.

  • jackass.

  • ASSHOLE!

    =]

  • haha, its all good. :D

  • Arrh! your so sweet, I could watch u 4 hours & I mean that in the nicest possible way. I 2 have suffered with SA, low self-esteem, low confidence, shy etc. And I'm much older than u & at least your trying 2 do something about it now.

    So keep at it gal, your win in the end.

  • I have always felt uncomfortable too. Even back to my earliest memories at nursery I can remember being too scared to ask to go to the toilet, play with others and things. It is also really nice to see vidoes from someone English my own age! I don't know why that makes much of a difference but it just helps me feel there are people who are like me kind of near. When all I see is people from other countries talking about it I feel alone

  • :) i have too and i think i can feel like you is horrible

  • I love the way you talk.

    I don't know the exact moment either.

    I just no little by little I became more nervous around and scared of people.

  • Aw you're so precious.

    You remind me of a cute little mouse<3 ^.^

    Yeah, I feel good around my friends too! :) I know they dont judge me. But other people really get me scared.

    When I come I usually relax & do things that make me forget about how hectic my days (always) are :x

  • Aww you're voice sounds so soft and kind :D

    that's cool

    anyway...lol

  • You're so lovely :D I've had SA for 7-8 years now so can relate to everything you're saying, wish I had the confidence to make a video like yours :)

  • i can tell just by how you typed that your gay. lol. go suck a dick, you aint tuff.

  • she doesnt look funny at all. I think shes a very cute and attractive girl.

  • nice vid, i am taking Vilift and i think it's the best. i've been on it for alomost a month now and i really love it.

  • Hey lots of stuff you say i could relate too, I mean some stuff like going to the library or seing people dont bother me its just stuff like talking out load in public and i also do this think before what i say and sometimes wont say anything cuz it would be too rude or whatever so i just keep quiet then i start thinking why did i not talk and etc

  • I know exactly how you feel when you say it doesn't happen with everybody. Like there are only certain people I can look in the eye if I feel they aren't a threat. Its even harder trying to explain this to someone. Great first video =]

  • you seem like a really genuine person. your very brave doing this! I know I couldnt!

    social anxiety/shyness seems often like an evil curse

    at 17 i have no friends at all (you're lcuky!), i very rarely even have conversations with people at college. ive never had a girlfriend or actually flirted with girls. i dont go to parties. it feels like people dont even achknowledge that I'm there.. ect ect the list goes on.

    im getting councelling after my AS exams in May but omg SA is a nightmare

  • what started my social anxiety was my mother being over protective and not allowing me to have friends as a child and her being a people pleaser. Also my Father not standing up to people. I understand everything that you shared on this video. This is my first video also today. Thanks for your video.

  • YOU R CUUUUUUTE! ;-)

  • You are a lovely person=] Please never assume everyone you meet has life sussed!!

  • somebody help me i cnat deal with my sa, it is eating me slowly, i cant breathe

  • Hiya, I find that each day is never the same and it is not nice. The anxiety makes me scared, dizzy and sick, but the worst I get is paranoia from it, do you also get this and how do you deal wth it x

  • I am always trying to over please my dad, I over do it with most people then I feel really bad and beat myself up because I didnt really want to be that nice because I feel fake, I tell myself I will not over do it but I cannot stop myself. I know a few people who whisper talk like you too, is that the way you have spoken even as a child?

  • "I am always trying to over please my dad, I over do it with most people then I feel really bad and beat myself up because I didnt really want to be that nice because I feel fake, I tell myself I will not over do it but I cannot stop myself."

    I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!!!

  • your cute :) . SA can be a bitch.. i know..

  • Even when the anxiety gets too much,try not to lose your friends.

  • What's stupid is that there are so many people with this disorder...it really tells us about the society we live in. If only everyone was less tense around everyone else...we wouldn't be like this.

  • I live my life by three simple rules.

    Number one - If life gives you lemons, just say fuck the lemons and bail.

    Number two - Doesn't really apply to women :P

    Number three - If you don't like me, go fuck yourself.

    Darling, if they treat you like shit, they aren't worth the time.

    You're a beautiful, smart girl, ignore them.,

    :D

  • @knigknobra2 PORTAL 2 REFERENCE +/- 1 for originality?

  • I also have SA. Hang in there.

  • ur lovely

  • why do so many very pretty girls have phobias and panic attacks?

  • WOW, your so beautiful, how could you think negatively about yourself? SA is horrible no one deserves it. Good job! making a video must be hard!

  • aw you're such a cutie! :] (lol sorry not meant to be creepy-sounding xD)

    At least you can be secure in your appearance. And you have a wonderful accent too! It seems like you have a great personality; you shouldn't really worry about people judging you.

    I wish you the best in dealing w/ social anxiety... just good luck and i hope you can get over it in time.

  • I know it's not good to worry about what other people are thinking about you, especiallyy random people you don't know, but often it just happens so automatically. Though it'll take time, I know we will get there!! By the way YOU are a cutie! =D

  • @letitgo248 Hah, whoever has you as their spouse will be lucky! +1 to accent, +1 to natural cuteness, +1 for being yourself =)

  • Do you really want to get rid of Social Anxiety? Do the equanimity meditation by Shinzen Young. That's the answer. pshycriatists and Medications are bullshit. Stop assuming and sinking into deeper beliefs about what social anxiety is. The unique thing about Shinzen Young is that it is VERY practical; No new age bullshit!

  • Your candor is quite comforting. I can relate. You seem to be very sincere in how you perceive yourself. That is something I need to work on.

  • you are so beautiful

    your voice

    your mannerisms

    so graceful and lovely

    thank you for making a video! and yes, it is so helpful to hear how people react to social situations!

  • I like your voice and your manner of speaking =)

  • thank you!

  • I can really tell where you're coming from in all aspects, but especially when you talked about your friends. It irks me when I'm anxious around the people that would do me no harm... I really enjoyed your video though, I'm going to watch somemore lol

  • Please don't stop vloging. When people talk about weddings or asking me about evenings out they fill me with dread basically the need to be amusing and interesting makes me very anxious.

    I enjoyed listening=]

  • Thank you for your comment! I just looked at your channel and the baby in your family is really sweet :-) You're really probably way more interesting than you think, you might think what you say is boring because you've thought about it 100 times before, but to other people it is interesting.

    I hope you have a great Christmas eve and day!
