I suggest you to read "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne or see the movie, if you haven't. It may sound pathetic, but there is a lot of good information in there and it really works and would improve your life, only the problem is that people, including me, are too full of doubts... it's sad, but a lot of times the more shallow and narrow minded you are, the more confident you are lol

@eviyaah I have actually seen the movie & I do believe to some extend in it.In some instances there has been things I have really wanted for them to occur & unexpectedly I get the opportunity to fulfilling them.I wish I was more patience though because this things do take time to mature but the universe does have a way of aligning itself to work in our favor.We are own worse enemies with the whole doubt ordeal.

Hi,

I've dealt with social anxiety my whole life and now that I'm in college I'm realizing that avoiding social interactions isn't healthy. I've been trying to convince myself to seek therapy but that's a catch 22 - I get anxiety just thinking about starting that process. Do you have any advice? Were you nervous starting therapy?My anxiety probably stems from childhood trauma which I'm not sure I'm ready to bring up in therapy. btw you are gorgeous and you don't need all that makeup to prove it.

[ConsueloDASA]

@sdceoltatney That is a tad rude of you.I use makeup because I like how I look with it. The whole "all that makeup" is really unnecessary on your part.I am not trying to prove anything. What would give you that idea? It is a personal taste.Anyway, the best advice is to just do it. Do your research on psychologists in your area who have good ratings and once you find one you don't have to immediately tell them about your trauma. It will be a process until you feel comfortable enough to do it.

Anxiety is a physiological reaction that can happen to someone of any look, height, age, etc.

How can a beautiful person have a social anxiety...

I guess I had an epiphany of sorts lol. Stay strong friend!

I've been searching on Youtube all day to find people with the same social anxiety problems I have, and I've really made a great observation for myself! All the people I have seen on here are very intelligent and beautiful! I kept saying to myself "Wow, she is smart and beautiful! Why would she have any social problems?", or "He is a handsome man, why would he feel that way?" Then it hit me, i'm thinking the same thing everyone else thinks when i'm trying to talk to them about my problems.

You're not alone, you don't have to live etternally with this. Check out desteni on youtube, since it is support

@ConsueloDASA Hi, sorry I sincerely did not mean offense. I already knew that you wear makeup for your own sake from watching your other videos and completely believe you. If anything, I was trying to imply that your natural beauty is enough on its own. I believe that people in general should appreciate how they look naturally more, but that's not to say that my opinion on that matter is better or anything than yours. Thanks for the advice too.
