What that blonde guy is saying is just bullshit. "As a guy, being shy and reserved is a weakness...I had to do crazy stuff to prove my manliness..." As if we women were the coward sex. We're not. Actually, risking your life and wanting to die on purpose is real cowardice and stupidity!

I used to be a selective mute for most of the childhood years in school but I was also bullied and ostracized for a good portion of that time too. I'm still horribly anxious about social interactions but one time near the end of elementary, I just couldn't hold back my anger anymore. I became more and more irritable and finally snapped back at who I thought was bullying me. At that point, I wasn't mute anymore. I guess I should thank bullying for that. Heh...

Yeah, I've been having a hell of a time trying to land a job for the past few years. I could bet a lot of it is because of how my mind jumbles up every time I'm being interviewed, making me out to be some kind of idiot... so I'm trying to be self-employed now. Not that it's much easier but... just doing what I can.

I went to counseling for social anxiety. Stopped at one point. Years later, I'm starting to think it shouldn't be called a disorder, that only perpetuates the feeling that there's something wrong with you for "having" it. How is that of any use in helping you defeat it? To me it's something to do with the thoughts I think toward myself in social situations, even outside of them I berate myself. But can't thoughts be changed? To say it's a disorder I need pills for, just makes it worse imo

This shit is killing me

For those wondering about the negative responses to the video.

Look up these two on wikipedia:

'Projection Bias' - we all have it.

'Cognitive Dissonance' - we all have it.

Basically, if a person haven't experienced a disorder personally or with someone close, it is almost impossible for them to put themselves in 'others shoes'. It would be fair to argue that, not being able to recognize and understand the behavior of others, is a disability in it self - don't get angry with them..

That has to be the best hour i've spent,from moment of waking to going to sleep being watched with anxiety and fear,waiting for CBT to begin .So glad the phrase" irrational thinking" wasn't used.These people are an inspiration .Thank you for posting this video .

Social Anxiety is very real. It really sucks to get so uncomfortable in a social situation that you need to go home and avoid your friends for a while. It's really dehabilitating, and it has nothing to do with confidence. I am a very confident person, yet I often retract to my room because I get so anxious. It's not an issue of maturity or self esteem. Watch what you say because those comments were extremely offensive.
