I haven't been diagnosed with socila anxiety, but I can relate, I never have had a relationship, I think of conversations over and over in my head. I feel like an awful, horrible person if I do 1 thing wrong. I'm terrified when I walk into school, I feel like i'm not with my body, and I breath fast and my heart beats fast, I feel like I want to cry, i'm scared that my friends might not be around that corner to greet me and i'm also scared that they are.
I hate when people don't get it. They think I'm stupid and shy. I'm not either of them. I'm really smart and I would love to be with people and I would love to perform, but I'm too scared to do any of that.
Wow this song is so beautiful... I've been struggling with social anxiety all my life. My mom also has it along with PTSD. Sometimes, it gets really hard to live a normal life.
I feel like I made this video! I can't take it! I'm 15 and I feel like people see me as an old bum, who has nothing to do with social life, who doesn't deserve to have friends. Who doesn't understand anything. "You want to exchange?" I tell them, but only in my mind. I wish I was a normal person. I can't take it anymore!!
I hate having social anxiety. I've had it for over 10 years and I can't take it anymore. I'm a sophomore in college and I hate seeing everybody going out on the weekends while I'm sitting in my dorm room. I've been doing therapy but it doesn't seem like it will get better. This video like I'm not alone even though it does seem like I am sometimes. I even read this post over and over again to make sure it was good enough to post.
@apollostreetcar Yeah, okay, you're totally right about that. I realized my mistake after I posted the comment. XD What I meant is is that I can relate to every sentence, and I experience most of them. Of course I'm not a fourth grader. Nor do I have a spouse. XD
I'm socially anxious & that's how I've felt my whole freakin' life! It's so hard. This almost made me cry! I posted this on facbeook so my friends & classmates can try to understand me more. People can't understand how hard it is & every time I try to explain it to my friends they think I'm crazy. I'm not crazy! This made me realize I'm not crazy. I know what I'm talking about.
Wow this made me cry. This video expressed exactly how I have felt all my life and I really appreciate you posting it because it shows me that their are other people in the world who think like I do and who suffer from the same anxieties.
I really like the song that you've put in with this, especially when it goes 'you dont know me' coz SM hides away who i really am, no one knows the real me, and i fit so many of them slides, i can really relate to a lot of what you've said in this. x
Still won't work. I think we can't post links. I'm trying to say that the original song fit it better. It's "Don't laugh at me" by Peter, Paul, and Mary. You can look at their lyrics on their main website.
I like the "Don't laugh at me" song, its really sad aswell, but i can really relate to it, people should realise how much laughing at someone for their differences can really hurt someone else's feelings a lot, and stop being so horrible to things they don't understand a thing about.
perfect video. Couldn't have said it better. I'm going to post this on facebook when I get my diagnosis.

@comac701 I read my posts over and over again, too. I should have included that in the video.
If you have a good therapist and you work hard, it probably will get better.

The sad thing is, this is what I would want everyone I know to see, but I'm too scared of their reaction.
