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.
I took meds for mine too and it made it a million times worse, i stayed in the house for most of 2009.
It got better by facing my fear, doing things that scare me, supermarkets ect, i'm MUCH better now. I don't see mine as being so bad though, it was only bad for a time when i was going through alot. Chin up everybody though, you can always cope. :)
yeah it sucks.the mere thought of having to talk to people or be in a social situation makes me unconfortable and i start to feel breathless my hands shaking my face turning red.i just can't feel at ease once i'm out of my house. i am planning to see a doc but u know doc is also a person .the point is i fear any human being.deeply depressed by who i am right now i want to be normal i have been like this for about 6 years but it worsened one year ago so i am in a hole of SA trying to climb out.
Anywho, I have social phobia. I hate being in big crowds, always feel watched by others unless I know them. Its irritating. small case of insomnia as well. it the time when everyones asleep, its relaxing...I have friends who I can see with my car. I just find myself withdrawling further into myself. I've gotten a bitter and empty personality now and started to hate humans in general. I have no clue what my life will turn into. But I like picking at it. So my salvation may be my destruction. idk
sry to make a scene on your video emolove to the commentees about god
But to the christians out there. as an example, if I was to put a gun to your forehead and blow your brains out on the pavement. would you consider that gods doing? what if I viscously chopped your family up in front of you leaving you alive. is that still god? STOP putting your faith into every little detail of everyday life. You know nothing, don't repeat what you read outta a book your retard. So tired of religous bullshit
You're such a beautiful girl. emolove888, as a recovering sufferer of SAD, here is my perspective. It is called a disorder because you are a great person and have nothing to fear. If you were socially inept, or ugly, or bad etc, you would not have social anxiety DISORDER. It is a disorder emolove, because YOU ARE GREAT. Bless you because you are really deserving of more. Just know, there are people who understand your struggle and care that you have the best. xxx
@danndan6 please, even if you wont take medication, live a lifestyle that will help. drink chamomile tea. take serotonin supplements, workout. exercise is really amazing. Please, don't worry. i know it's hard not to, but i take serotonin and it works. pleeeeeaaaaase. i dont want to see you in pain. try the supplement for 4 weeks and see if it makes the therapy easier. xxx
i'm 23 and i've been reduced to being a hermit in my house for many years, afraid to get a job because of having to work and interact with co-workers. it has caused bad depression. i am very sluggish and fatigued, eat poorly, and sleep poorly..i ache to go out and do things, but once i do, i wanna can't wait to come back home. it has made me bitter and unambitious. it has created very low self esteem. the isolation SA causes snowballs into so much more. it truly is terrible.
This is the worst sickness ever...maybe even worse than cancer .... because its permanent...and most ppl dont understand it. And..what mostly sucks about it is that it takes over your life, and you can't control it.
Hey I really like your Social anxiety blogs on here. I just ordered a video camera because I too suffer from a couple forms of anxiety, and I want to be my old self again, so I figure i'll post my journey on youtube in a few days when i start it, so not only can I show myself i can change, but I want to give hope to everyone else out there so I won't give up. I hope when I do that you will follow it, because I know how you feel and we all could use a helping hand sometimes :)
I see this video was posted a while back but it was very well spoken none the less. You really hit the nail on the head with your explanation of how difficult SAD can be. Thank you for this video.
@pookie85 Damn for 11 years omg i just found out i have it and it sucks i been like this since i was 13 now im 14.... please and advice so i wont waste 11 years like u?? :c
I didn't know that there was a name for my problem. It's crazy finding out that I'm not the only person that feels like this. I honestly just thought I was weird. It's like youre reading your words straight from my mind. Thank you and I hope that this goes away for both of us.
The past is irrelevant anyway, what matters is how you deal with it. There's no magic switch but we're in our prime. The future is one thing we CAN change.
@azurelikeit1 Sometimes you surprise yourself in cbt with what you remember when put on the spot. When you've been put on the spot to describe an event it's much easier to get to the root cause. I never realized of believed I could be hiding things in my head unwhittingly; Things I diddn't want to deal with. I was proven wrong. It's nice to hear someone highly educated, trustworthy calling people who once wronged you in your life "assholes" lol.
People who doesnt understand will God will think im crazy, but the truth is all your fears will be gone when you let the Bible ( The word of God) teach you the things you did not know.
Things about how important you are.
About how someone loves you PERFECTLY, UNCONDITIONALLY and TRUE that He gave his only Son to save you
About how much God wants you to draw near to Him so that all His will may be done unto your lives
God wants you to find Him and recieve with a greatful heart His SALVATION
@Chriomuz The end is nigh. Anxiety is a blight on our beautiful god knowing world and...shit. I'm no atheist but I could barely understand this. I also don't feel it appropriate spreading the holy spirit to vulnerable people. This girl needs to believe in herself now, respectfully. Anxiety for me is this constant pranging of subconcious nerves. It's like the remnants of a pillaged castle built day by day over time long past crumbling every day. What medication have you tried so far?
@Chriomuz I apologise for spamming this page with unrelated content but I hav e a question to ask Mr religious dictator. Have you ever suffered any kind of disorder and recovered by gods power? Only part of this disorder is fear you know. It's usually extremely personal and subjective.
@Chriomuz i want it to be judgement day today, i want to go to god for real today. i dont wait. and i can pray to god, but still im not with god for real.
@Mattorzo - I really hope you read the Bible because its the best way to find the truth.
Because it is possible that when you just ask other people about God they might give you the wrong informations. Just remember that you should choos the CHRISTIAN Bibles not the Catholic Bibles because the catholics added books in the bible, books that should not be there
May God and Lord Jesus guide you in the path of righteousness and may the Holy Spirit heal your soul and your body in Jesus name Amen.
@Chriomuz thank you for blessing me.i was baptised as a catholic btw
i tried to read the bible,but somehow it does not hav an effect on me.all the stories seem so outdated,and unreal,and lot of the time boring to me.i need god and jesus to appear in my life,not in a book.i wish that was posible,cause readin alone will never do the trick for me.not even going to church and pray. i ned feedback from god and jesus,help n salvation.but i gues the real salvation will be when i die and go back to them
@Mattorzo Its boring for those who doesnt want to know God but its the most delicious food for the souls of those who really are searching for their purpose.
You will see Jesus on judgement day. But before Judgement day you need to recieve the Grace of God for your salvation.
So NOW that you still have time SEARCH FOR THE LORD!
He will show Himself in the most mysterious way, in the TRUTH.
One day you will be amazed how God will transform your life.
Cannabis (particularly indica) is a very helpful natural aid, way better than the chemical drug options and way more safer physically and mentally.
Being highly social isn't right for everyone. If you're trying to be something you're not (extroverted), then there will be major tensions as a result that build up. For some people, it's their place to look within, exploring deeper issues of creativity and insight. Social jousting and pecking orders aren't the road to fulfillment for everyone.
One thing that I have done to reduce anxiety is to eat a healthy diet. Honestly, its really difficult to do but its well worth it. instead of having a constant worrying feeling and a tightness in my body I generally feel relaxed and that I have a better abled body to cope with the anxiety when it strikes. Having cut out sugar and caffeine completely my brain feels calmer and my thoughts are alot clear and easier to manage which has reduced my anxiety alot.
Have you heard of Bachman remedies? They specifically work on the emotions. Their no strong medicine that have side effects just have to take some drops in da mouth. Work pretty well overall for most people Besides that good healthy food, work outs and being less around tiring things like electronic machine helps most. It's amazing how the brain can be influenced if these things are not being taken care of.
Thank you so much for posting this video. You are very brave for doing so. There are so many people who have insecurities, shyness etc, who would be afraid to even post these. Thank you again
first off. thank you for understanding an posting it like you said its so hard to explain it, especialy to someone who doesnt understand it. i cant find anyone near me that does get it... medication has help me, i tried so many diffrent kinds. but my main concern was i didnt want to just always have to take something? so im perscribed medication for "as needed" situations n such... i hope your doin better it was awhile ago when you posted this, but still it rarley jus drifts away.
I suffered with this for years, exactly the way you described. I had to force myself to go out more and physically change in a way where I felt more comfortable. I also helps when you hang out with people that relate to your interests and are fun to screw around with.
I know how you feel, (I know a lot of people say that, but I do), I haven't been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, but I know for a fact that I have basically a lot of the symptoms and all.. I went to a few doctor's visits, but I guess I eventually chickened out, because she said I had to go and get my semester class changed to a drama class to get me to express myself more in front of people.
But I have felt this way since the middle of 7th grade, now I'm a freshman in college. so yea..
ive had ocd ,agraphobea,anxiety and i experianced hell at the age of 18, but then it changed and things got worseer when i had a bad day, and things also got better in my good days. but its like a war . if you have social anxiety , its best to move settlements . atleast you will understand that you changed reality location that was safe to another settlement thats extra safe , that has nothing to do where your surrounded from
i have social anxiety , lot of tramps in my streets act big just cus they stink of shit and they know by killing them i wont get my hands dirty.thats why i graduated as a mortage advisor , through meditation daily x 2. im moving houses and looking to get a small house on mortage (1st step).. atlest il have my own space
im a shcizotypal personality , due to anxiety iactually starting to belive that the real world i lvied in before i got anxiety is my mutual world im living in now. but i am successful and i always tell who everlaughs at me , that '' even doctors ,physocolgisst have to work there assof to underdtand whats this disordrer, who ever lives with it is a bigger person''
I have anxiety, but mine has benefit me. Being so analylical has made me a perfectionist. I pay attention to detail; this has allow me to win numerous of talent shows and to be poet laureate at my school. However, I wish I was not so analylical; I wish I could just do and stop thinking all the time. I can't even look people in their eyes when performing. Numerous of girls have shown interest in me but my anxiety always prevent me from taking it ot the next level (never had a girlfriend).
You are VERY talented!!!! Thank you for sharing your story. You are not alone. Glad you do not want to take medication. Read Dianetics. There are answers for you there about the why of your condition.
You are a very talented young woman. If you like to read, read Dianetics. It helped me alot! It answers many many questions you may have about your condition. :)
sometimes i feel like shooting my head off...i mean i feel i can do alot more in life but instead there always somehting preventing me from doing it, AND IT SUCKS in a MAJOR wayyyy...shit wtf..
PRAY...?!? are you serious....i have nothing against God or your religion. But dont come on here telling people like us to pray. Its the 21st ya dimwitts, so get with the program.
i know exactly what ur talking about, i feel the same way and my bf tells me its not a big deal and i should get over it like its so easy. but does anyone's face turn red cause thats my biggst problem along with a racing heart???
you put every bit of words into how you feel, and made a voice for those of us who suffer from sa. u did a great job and i applaud u for expressing urself.
yeah ive been struggling with the same thing most of my days ive tried to deal with it by getting couselling but ive still got the same problem doesnt ever seem to go away
yeah i dont know what causes it, maybe you can never really get over it? ive been on effexor now im on cymbalta i dont know if ill ever really get over it in fact i cant remember ever really being non shy and socially phobic?
I know what u mean... i hope that one day i'll feel normal :) for now i spend ALOT of time in my house. I've been like this as long as i can remember.... seriously since i was like 2 or 3 years old.
Yeah... ive been seeing a dr. This is the second medication ive been on. The first one gave me ALOT of brusing so i had to stop taking it. Zoloft doesnt work as well but atleast im not all blue and purple. :)
i know what you are talking about .i have the same reaction towards people.what's worse is you make other people around you uncomfortable and that boost up your anxiety to the extreme.making you in the center of atention.
Brilliant marketing is what pharmaceutical corporations use to simply and gently destroy the delicate components of your brain! They have the psychiatrists... and they WILL find a symptom inside you (even if it doesn't exist) for them to prescribe psychotic drugs... Its BIG buiseness, pharmaceuticals make over 330 billion dollars a year! Now they are druggin children as young as three... I have few connections inside this dirty buiseness...

I know, my parents think im just saying i have SA, because im lazy and dont wanna get a job. I DO wanna work but i cant muster up the courage to do it!
dude your video made me cry... :[ I know what you mean, completely. Your words are so true, so true. I haven't told anyone about my condition yet...there's no way I can bring myself to admit it to people. But it's killing me a little bit every day. I can't go a day without feeling anxious. Its so hard--it's like other people's thoughts are controlling me. I hope you and I and everyone else with this disorder can cope with this...good luck and i wish you the best. <3
I used to get panick attacks, it happened to me a lot a few years ago. Now I know why, some/MOST people dont deserve to have others around them, they're too fucking self involved.. so I said to myself, fuck, it, the feeling and them!!!! Sorry for the language, but I've just had a dose of George Carlin :-D It's all about conquering the anxiety in ways only each of us will know how, later on! :)
i dont want to try meds. im going to try a herb or something. my therapist said one words. ive had social anxiety since like 7th grade but it got worse in may of 2008. i know how you feel. great video, nice job!
My little brother has Social anxiety real bad, so he just plays video games all day. I don't know what to do. He seems to be getting worse. He gets real wierd when we go out. He has no self esteem, and I can't get him to do anything. He seems to get worse when I try to talk about it. What should I do?.... Anyone?
i play video games too because of that...,my family says to go out and 'socialize' :( i have 1 real friend...and that is because we both like games, but he still goes out :(
I can't even go to parties and other social events because I'd feel like ...I might do something embarrassing, or just put shame and discrace on the others. And in the back of my head there is always a lingering fear of what "could happen".
It is hard to explain to people when they just blow if off because it's so much more.
Are you being completely sincere with yourself here with everything you say? I might have S.A. I'm beginning to realize, but it's not like I have a fear of being hurt or getting made fun of. It's more like I am afraid of being interpreted or stared at by others really. Many people are commenting that SA people are very analytical about uncommon things in life. I am the same way when I analyze human behavior in my daily experiences. And my anxiety comes from paranoia that others do it back lol.
I love people with social anxiety ive got it bad and i don't like it when I have neg experiences like panic attacks or freezing up in middle of talking or whatever, but people with social anxiety are so understanding and deep, introspective people they have alot better perception of the world then "normal" people. Normal people are such douch bags mostly although they get the best jobs most of the time and are more acceptable in society.
I feel the same way, theres a depth to SA people that you don't usually find with others, we should all move to Canada or something and take it over and make it our homeland
I know what you mean, especially after watching a lot of people with S.A. here on YouTube. They have a certain way to their thinking. A deepness and calm that is worth alot.
Because they have a mental condition, they are forced to analyze and think about some things that others don't think about
I can see why this got 14 thumbs up! People with SA tend to see details and things that others don't pick up on. Whether it be body language, feelings, or in my case what is going on politically. lol Anyway this comment is so true. I've often wished I could go through life with blinders on like most people seem too. Totally consumed with one's self and full of false confidence.
It is hard. People just don't know and then they throw all these ideas like "It's a crutch." Or sometimes they think it's because of upbringing or something our parents did. Or that we need to just learn to be more independent. It's not our fault.
its a massive deal i dont know how 2 get over it, i have been behind my computer all week, been out once 4 about 10 mins and i made a fool of myself (shopping bag handle snapped) :(
for some reason that made me laugh and smile a bit, but i feel sad for you... i am always afraid of little things like that happening. Like im in an art class and the fist day we all had to use the board thingy and im tall 62 so i had to raise it and im thinking what if i cant do it it took a while but i was thinking people were watching me lol funny now that i think of it
I consider myself "socially challenged." My shyness and self-consciousness gets in the way of me making friends or even carrying on a meaningful conversation with people face to face. This problem not only affects my interactions with strangers but with family members who I've known my whole life! I'm still struggling with it. I hope you overcome your "social impairment" as well.
Ahhhh! Yes! I am still not totally comfortable around my own parents. My parents! Its sucks. I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
COMMENT ON THE VIDEO:
For people who don't have this they will never understand. I am 33 and its getting to the point now where I wonder what I could have been if I wasn't this way. I have missed out on so much because of this, I even dropped out of college because of it. Your not alone and it sounds dumb, but you can always make a video and talk to us.
I too wonder what I could have achieved by now if I had been more socially capable. I have SO MANY regrets. I also didn't finish college and I believe part of the reason was because of my social ineptnes, among other things.
SA is like having a drug addiction except with a drug addiction people/family can see it and maybe do something about it. The point is with SA the cure/solution is what we fear the most. Talking to someone - a doctor, a friend, a family member. But more than that, you know what would help? If people had more empathy. For those who don't know, here what it means-
understanding of another's feelings: the ability to identify with and understand somebody else's feelings or difficulties.
I HATE MY PARENT TOO they re worth shit. Ok if i would be better i wouldnt say that, but when ur fucked up you hate the fact that it wouldnt be that way if they wouldnt have been treaded me so stupid
Ok dude, slow down. In my case... I LOVE my parents, I HATE some of the decisions they made. I think if early on they had recognized my social phobia that today I would be better off. I was never forced to do anything - sports, music, etc. Sometimes kids need to be pushed! It doesn't help that there both social phobics either! What are the chances?! They found each other!!! lol
i totally agree. I think parents should force kids to join a sport club or something. I wasn't forced to do things like that either. But nowadays i just wish i was. I remember my mom took me to a ballet course and i was only crying all the time because of the other people i didn't know. It was awful.
My parents were/are terrific, amazing, all those words. But its the one area I wish they would have picked up on. I am sure if they knew what to look for my SA wouldn't be as bad as it is today. They were never the type to force things, if I wanted to play a sport I would let them know basically. Unfortunately kids don't always know what they want to do until there forced to try it! Now I look back and say baseball team, football team, the piano, skiing, etc. all woulda been nice. lol
Yes, same here. I wish i would've learnt how to play the piano (well now i'm doing it by myself) or would've joined the ballet. I sometimes wish i could turn back time to start over, so i could do all these things. How do you manage to live with social axiety? For me it's an everyday fight.
THANK U FOR speaking out about this, i have it too, and no its not easy..i dont beleive in taking western medication either..i do beleive that if you are consistent you can talk yourself out of it until you eventually treat yourself..it'll take time, but its do-able. also i believe in herbal supplments/ naturopathic medication/meditation and such to treat social anxiety .. powerful video.
i met some guys in the same situation, that are really great guys.. i'm not saying SA isn't a problem, but doesn't mean others judge you the way that you do..
Is it really fear or the uncomfortable thoughts that arise when in a social setting or the fear of the uncomfortable thoughts i think adults raised by alcholics have real reason to fear people the avoidance would be learned in childhood and would be a survival behaviour.Always chosing the wrong partner for example would encourage you 2 to stop socializing as opening up and being honest doesnt mean i still want to be shit on blah thxs for your words!
in addition to my response below i wanted to add that I rarely and barely ever go out...but when i do i always mark the initials C.O.F. on my hand, which stands for Confidence Over Fear, I always look at my hand to calm me down whenever i feel uneasy, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...it sucks too because I can remember how I used to be before I had Social Anxiety all the way up to the way I am now, and it pisses me off because somedays I feel as if I have no control over it
mann...this is a great video...everything you described in this video pretty much describes the type of person i am...i found out that i have social anxiety 3 years ago through a doctor in the E.R. afer being rushed there from having an attack (at the time i didn't know what was going on, I actually thought I was having a heart attack) but yeah, since then I've been dealing with this disorder which can be really tough at times...
I think the problem is that people really don't care about other people's disorders, so don't bother spending the effort to get them to understand. Just be optimistic and don't kick yourself more when your anxiety strikes.
I relate pretty well with your social anxiety. I also had social anxiety disorder for more than a decade. And I agree with you about people not caring to us. My father and brothers never shown any interest on my mental disorder or on my recovery.Fortunetely as any mental disoreder, recovery from social anxiety disorder is possible. Take care.
there you go great video wish could edit like that. its true that a lot of people dont understand it but ive gotten used to that. Personnally, posting videos helped me a great deal because I could talk to people who could understand what ive been through to an extent. And yeah its true that you can get better alot better step by step with a lot of motivation, a therapy suited for you with medication (if you really need it)
Me cognitive behavioral worked great for me. keep it up your a cool girl
I feel where your coming from.

I want to be social and I want to be free and cool about it but I just.. can't. I feel like nobody really likes me and all that shit.

@azurelikeit1 Sometimes you surprise yourself in cbt with what you remember when put on the spot. When you've been put on the spot to describe an event it's much easier to get to the root cause. I never realized of believed I could be hiding things in my head unwhittingly; Things I diddn't want to deal with. I was proven wrong. It's nice to hear someone highly educated, trustworthy calling people who once wronged you in your life "assholes" lol.

People who doesnt understand will God will think im crazy, but the truth is all your fears will be gone when you let the Bible ( The word of God) teach you the things you did not know.
Things about how important you are.
About how someone loves you PERFECTLY, UNCONDITIONALLY and TRUE that He gave his only Son to save you
About how much God wants you to draw near to Him so that all His will may be done unto your lives
God wants you to find Him and recieve with a greatful heart His SALVATION

@Chriomuz The end is nigh. Anxiety is a blight on our beautiful god knowing world and...shit. I'm no atheist but I could barely understand this. I also don't feel it appropriate spreading the holy spirit to vulnerable people. This girl needs to believe in herself now, respectfully. Anxiety for me is this constant pranging of subconcious nerves. It's like the remnants of a pillaged castle built day by day over time long past crumbling every day. What medication have you tried so far?
fredbloggs02 2 years ago
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 but it was just temporary.
God's healing power was ETERNAL!
Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent because of the MIRACULOUS power of God.
The cure for fear is FAITH!
Fear stops you but FAITH ENABLES YOU!
People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.

When I was 13 yrs old up to 16 I had Social Anxiety Disorder.
During those times my body used to trembles when im in any social place and even when im just thinking of any social place.
During those times was always angry and S.A.D. gave me depression that I became so suicidal.
Doctors helped the SYMPTOMS to go away but not THE SOURCE.
God took away all my fears and it is true what His word tells us that he will make all things NEW! Im a new BEING because of Him.
Im a child of the Living God.

@Mattorzo - I really hope you read the Bible because its the best way to find the truth.
Because it is possible that when you just ask other people about God they might give you the wrong informations. Just remember that you should choos the CHRISTIAN Bibles not the Catholic Bibles because the catholics added books in the bible, books that should not be there
May God and Lord Jesus guide you in the path of righteousness and may the Holy Spirit heal your soul and your body in Jesus name Amen.

@Mattorzo Its boring for those who doesnt want to know God but its the most delicious food for the souls of those who really are searching for their purpose.
You will see Jesus on judgement day. But before Judgement day you need to recieve the Grace of God for your salvation.

He will show Himself in the most mysterious way, in the TRUTH.

Cannabis (particularly indica) is a very helpful natural aid, way better than the chemical drug options and way more safer physically and mentally.
Being highly social isn't right for everyone. If you're trying to be something you're not (extroverted), then there will be major tensions as a result that build up. For some people, it's their place to look within, exploring deeper issues of creativity and insight. Social jousting and pecking orders aren't the road to fulfillment for everyone.

One thing that I have done to reduce anxiety is to eat a healthy diet. Honestly, its really difficult to do but its well worth it. instead of having a constant worrying feeling and a tightness in my body I generally feel relaxed and that I have a better abled body to cope with the anxiety when it strikes. Having cut out sugar and caffeine completely my brain feels calmer and my thoughts are alot clear and easier to manage which has reduced my anxiety alot.

Have you heard of Bachman remedies? They specifically work on the emotions. Their no strong medicine that have side effects just have to take some drops in da mouth. Work pretty well overall for most people Besides that good healthy food, work outs and being less around tiring things like electronic machine helps most. It's amazing how the brain can be influenced if these things are not being taken care of.

I know how you feel, (I know a lot of people say that, but I do), I haven't been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, but I know for a fact that I have basically a lot of the symptoms and all.. I went to a few doctor's visits, but I guess I eventually chickened out, because she said I had to go and get my semester class changed to a drama class to get me to express myself more in front of people.
But I have felt this way since the middle of 7th grade, now I'm a freshman in college. so yea..

Are you being completely sincere with yourself here with everything you say? I might have S.A. I'm beginning to realize, but it's not like I have a fear of being hurt or getting made fun of. It's more like I am afraid of being interpreted or stared at by others really. Many people are commenting that SA people are very analytical about uncommon things in life. I am the same way when I analyze human behavior in my daily experiences. And my anxiety comes from paranoia that others do it back lol.

SA is like having a drug addiction except with a drug addiction people/family can see it and maybe do something about it. The point is with SA the cure/solution is what we fear the most. Talking to someone - a doctor, a friend, a family member. But more than that, you know what would help? If people had more empathy. For those who don't know, here what it means-
understanding of another's feelings: the ability to identify with and understand somebody else's feelings or difficulties.

i totally agree. I think parents should force kids to join a sport club or something. I wasn't forced to do things like that either. But nowadays i just wish i was.

My parents were/are terrific, amazing, all those words. But its the one area I wish they would have picked up on. I am sure if they knew what to look for my SA wouldn't be as bad as it is today. They were never the type to force things, if I wanted to play a sport I would let them know basically. Unfortunately kids don't always know what they want to do until there forced to try it! Now I look back and say baseball team, football team, the piano, skiing, etc. all woulda been nice. lol
myhalo123 3 years ago
Yes, same here. I wish i would've learnt how to play the piano (well now i'm doing it by myself) or would've joined the ballet. I sometimes wish i could turn back time to start over, so i could do all these things. How do you manage to live with social axiety? For me it's an everyday fight.
