Social Anxiety Disorder

Basically, I am summing up what I go through with this disorder. This is my first video, so we'll see how this goes.

Wow, you have social anxiety, and you are sitting there exposing yourself to millions of people!! I envy you, because I could not do that. I would be scared to death!! Are you sure you have social anxiety??

Yes, I 100% have social anxiety. It's something I face everyday. It was difficult making this video but I had to trick myself into knowing I was just talking to my camera and not people. I knew I had the option not to display this video, so that made it a little easier to do. And thank you for watching!

Good video dude...i have it bad aswell,especially in crowded places and work....i'm always far too self aware,feelin like im bein watched. It snowballs aswell,because u think ur bein watched u start acting differently,even suspiciously,then people notice u bein suspicious and they do look at u,then u want to die...lol. I've started to tell my friends + family and even some colleagues...i find it helps if they know. Now if i act strange,they know wats goin on.

thanks dude. i totally get those feelings too. i've been on Citalopram for about 6 weeks now and don't really notice much of a difference. I read it can take up to 8 weeks to feel the full effect. Let's hope so, or I may have to up the dosage.

thanks everyone for the feedback. i appreciate it. vaduzcrew, i haven't noticed a different in the valerian i've been taking. it's been about 3 weeks now. maybe i should go back to the doctor and get real medicine?

I feel exactly like you I see myself in you :( I need help and friends

you speak so fluidly and seem able to articulate yourself very well, i would have never guessed you'd have social anxiety. , I can relate with feeling that way at work when your alone working on something while everyone else are in groups. Nice job on your first video.
