iv had social anxiety for years. i was taken out of school in 10th grade when i developed conversion disorder fro the anxiety which showed as tourettes and was hospitalized for 9 days because they couldn't find out what was causing the tics. ive been in therapy for years and just began cognitive therapy. i have a gf that is very understanding of my condition which helps and i hope i will be functioning normally soon. how are you handling your anxiety? did you find any miracle tricks that helped?
I found this video rather interesting. The feelings you describe are very similar to what I've felt my entire life (and I'm now 30 years old). I have found that experience of new situations tends the dampen the anxiety because if you can survive it once then it makes it easier to go though on subsequent occasions. I still have a hard time with socialising but it is getting better with age. Nice video, cheers.
I have social anxiety. I use Valerina (a great relaxing herb) or Valium a work, I kind of switch between the two to avoid getting addicted to Valium. And Valium itself lasts two days, so i don't have to take it every day either. Plus I work part-time which helps. I even have social anxiety with my family, but in friendly social situations I'll either drink or take valium or valerina. Whatever is most suitable. Those are my tools... controversial, perhaps, but quality of life...
Thanks for sharing this. You seem like a pretty strong person. Glad you're not letting the anxiety prevent you from going out and trying to get past it.
Thanks for sharing. You are extremely lucky to have friends, who will give you opportunities to overcome your anxiety. Having none makes fighting anxiety and depression pretty much impossible. Eye contact is nearly impossible for me - people usually take that as me just being a very standoffish person
@codeegirl Yea thats a hop skip and a jump, I travel allot But the closest I get to Canada is Michigan where my folks live. I went to Toronto years back and from what I remember is was nice.
I thougth am the only man who suffer,All this confidence and beauty and have social anxiety,sounds not real,all what you said I experienced it all,and its a cycle ,when I decided to face it ,I acknologe it and strength it,when I accapt the fear without judgment it sounds it fade away.I have social anxiety disorder so what,i try not to make a big deal of it.this strategy seems to work sometimes.
Screen Presence is a person who always looks good on camera.
The camera never lies-it can pick up the most subtle traits of a persons personality. That why some of the most shy people in the world go on to be great actors in Hollywood.
who will stick by you and take you out (and you do) then you'll be fine, I hope work is going well for you and how's the ratty? :) I hope I get to have a mind opening convo with you once again sometime soon!
Hey you, man I haven't seen you on Msn in so long. I hope you're well. I wanted you to know that I now live in a sharehouse and that I have been driving and travelling more than two hours, spending a lot of time fishing for sharks, everything I missed these past 7 years due to Agoraphobia/Social Anxiety. I still have panic attacks for seemingly no reason, but I don't let it get the better of me. I am so happy to be out. I did it by going on paxil, also if you have a friend
Just wanted to say dont let your looks be the basis for your anxiety.
You have "georgouse" all wrapped up,,,, WOW!
And if that lill clip is a snippet of your general nature, id say your very much good chatting company.
I know anxiety doesnt follow self esteem traits, but its nice to hear a few honest compliments too. Just remember, your the hottest one in the room when you have another attack. Its a nice distraction :-)
Its important to not set the bar too high. You don't have to be the life of the party and everything doesn't have to go perfect for your evening to be a success. I think perfectionists and really observant people tend to get stressed out by little details in social situations. Its important to step back and evaluate whether what is stressing you out is actually such a big deal.
nothing wrong with social anxiety its a protective mode that keeps other people from hurting you. its hard to trust when you have been slapped down. go in your own car if you feel the anxiety coming on you can leave on your and not be trapped waiting for afriend who may not be around

When we are afraid of being seen and heard-we have learned that-It's not inborn
There is always an element of consistant humiliation in early childhood.
Ask yourself, "was I the center of attention and it was negative attenion"
The key word of coarse being consistant. Many people have dealt with humiliation-but it's not that often.
Having that overly kind quality that so many of us have ( in looks & personality) often makes the punk bastards of the world feed on it.

Reminds me of another video regarding people who fear rejection more than death.
I suppose, baby steps would help. Small gatherings of friends and friends of friends.
Hope you enjoyed yourself.
