  • hahaha overthinking no confidence bad self esteem my situation niggaaaaa

    i dont believe in social anxiety or any disorder of some sort of that kind i think its just all in ur head like u just gotta keep facing ur fear cuz fear keep u thinking these negtive thoughts

  • Again, crazy as - I do EXACTLY the same things. Especially when playing sport! Its interesting to see other people out there with SA a nd how similiar all our thoughts and actions can be.

  • i do the same thing of replaying events in my head and trying to find what happened. its such a hassle to have this anxiety. in general im a happy person just im scared out of mind.

  • ....

  • I can relate to everything you speak of, I really appreciate you posting these videos.

    I play soccer twice a week and whilst I enjoy playing I also get really anxious about messing up and letting others down.

    Sometimes the anxiety is so high I feel like it's not worth it, other times I actually almost feel normal- I think its the intense exercise that helps lift my mood somewhat.

    I hope claire weekes books and mindfulness meditation will help me get over this illness.

    Keep the faith

  • Dude, it's frisbee. You're not being asked to play in the nfl. lol I am sure you did fine.

  • Every video you make, i can relate to, so it forces me to write a paragraph, i was very good at baseball, i played it for years, but once i got to high school, i didnt wanna play, i was so anxious that the seniors would hate me or not want me on team, my dad made me try out, i did, and quit the next day, i wanted to play, i was good, but it drove me away

  • Hi, I really liked your video thanks for posting it, I feel like i'm always apologizing, can understand most of the things you said.

  • Hey Pat, I really admire you for posting these videos. I know you've heard this so many times, but you are descibing what I go through down to a tee. I've had S.A. for many years now and about two years a go I heard Travis Tritt singing the song "Take It Easy" I think The Eagles originally sang the song and the one line in the song that really struck a cord with me goes something like "Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy" and I think that's what people with S.A. do.

  • yeah I get like that sometimes. . .

  • Is it that your trying to impress people?

    is that why your so concerned with catching the ball and preforming well?

    or is it that your looking for acceptance??

  • Advice: Join the SA community on Youtube and be constructive or get therapy yourself. For most people this IS their therapy.

  • "WhySoGr33n" -- you have issues dude.

  • um, im a girl ma'am.

  • "WhySoGr33n" -- so what, i call both girls and guys dude, dude :P

  • love the daily show!!

    sounds like a fun game though ^^ i'll have to do something like that this summer

  • hey man, good shit with going out and playing frisbee. you're taking the small steps necessary in order to overcome your social phobia! keep up the good work. =)

  • As my therapist says, baby steps! I think he stole that from What About Bob...

  • omg yeah i apologize way too much. a lot of people get mad at me when i keep saying "i'm sorry" or when i ask "are you mad at me?" ahh it sucks

  • maybe there'll be a point when we just get bored of all the thinking

  • haha that would be really nice, to just say to hell with thinking so much and just be

  • Manda's third stage does happen. But once in a while you don't crash and burn. "I actually had a really good time playing ultimate frisbee."

    Apologizing when you screw up: Yelling "Oh S**t" (or worse) is preferable. Getting flushed: A good sign—shows you're alive. Playing back convos in your head: Nasty. Simple-minded suggestion: When you get home, do something distracting instead of lying down. Pop in a DVD or listen to some Ben Webster or try a new recipe for supper. Sometimes this helps.

  • Thanks for your kind advice =). I did have a good time playing, it's just that it was incredibly stressful, lol.

  • Oh man that sounds pretty familiar...except that I had never joined them. I always get extra terrified if there isn't at least one (!!) day between the offer/question and the actual activity. But I know exactly what you mean with discrepancy thing as well as being ashamed about the things you said or didn't say.

  • That totally makes it easier to have at least a day to like, prepare myself. Although a lot of times it just gives me more time to worry myself sick over it

  • omg i say ''im sorry'' as well. so much so that my tennis coach was like ''STOP APOLOGISING YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG''. so now i don't say sorry :)

  • i just found out i have a project on SP in psychology

  • haha I'm glad to hear from another over-apologizer.  I'm probably biased but that sounds like a cool psych project!
