Were not sure if they're including the parachute.

I am Elemarth's other channel. I personally fit some of these slides.

The original music was better, but it belongs to WMG. Well, they're only hurting themselves -- I bet no teenagers will listen to that song because they don't know the group.

perfect video. Couldn't have said it better. I'm going to post this on facebook when I get my diagnosis.

I hate having social anxiety. I've had it for over 10 years and I can't take it anymore. I'm a sophomore in college and I hate seeing everybody going out on the weekends while I'm sitting in my dorm room. I've been doing therapy but it doesn't seem like it will get better. This video like I'm not alone even though it does seem like I am sometimes. I even read this post over and over again to make sure it was good enough to post.

@comac701 I read my posts over and over again, too. I should have included that in the video.

If you have a good therapist and you work hard, it probably will get better.

The sad thing is, this is what I would want everyone I know to see, but I'm too scared of their reaction.

I haven't been diagnosed with socila anxiety, but I can relate, I never have had a relationship, I think of conversations over and over in my head. I feel like an awful, horrible person if I do 1 thing wrong. I'm terrified when I walk into school, I feel like i'm not with my body, and I breath fast and my heart beats fast, I feel like I want to cry, i'm scared that my friends might not be around that corner to greet me and i'm also scared that they are.

I hate when people don't get it. They think I'm stupid and shy. I'm not either of them. I'm really smart and I would love to be with people and I would love to perform, but I'm too scared to do any of that.

Wow this song is so beautiful... I've been struggling with social anxiety all my life. My mom also has it along with PTSD. Sometimes, it gets really hard to live a normal life.

Literally made me cry...

I can relate.

I feel like I made this video! I can't take it! I'm 15 and I feel like people see me as an old bum, who has nothing to do with social life, who doesn't deserve to have friends. Who doesn't understand anything. "You want to exchange?" I tell them, but only in my mind. I wish I was a normal person. I can't take it anymore!!

@OnceUponAUsername Haha, it's alright, I'm just kidding. (: I hope you get better!
