I talk about my embarrassing first day at college and how social anxiety made me pass out. I also talk about how anxiety clouded my judgement and almost got me in to trouble. The fight or flight response kicks in and becomes more fight than flight.
hes a right boring guy
@punkomatic87 Good job! Man, my high-school experience was nerve-wrecking. They put me in a remedial class-room with a bunch of kids going no-where. I got out and had to deal with the same ole’ things. High-school destroyed my confidence completely. I’m thinking seconds about going to college, because I might go through the same exact thing. Somedays I’d miss school because of the turmoil.
Picking on you in college? How immature of someone to do that to you. I hate idiots that mess with you while you’re in school.
im 18 have social anxiety and am goin to college in fall…gona play baseball…shit..its a small college..will they put me in classes with other freshmen so im not alone? im so anxious about this. i dnt wana be alone in being nervous..
Lol the arnie clip i remember that episode. There’s alot of people I wish I can just fucking go nuts on like that. Instead of flipping the table you should of suplexed him through it.
hmm, social anxiety is rough. I identify with what you are saying though I do not have SA. You don’t need to be like that, Im sure youll find freedom from this. Maybe you alrdee have bc this is only vid #5. Shit I hate those bastards, so lame. Yawn worthy. Like please. Be more creative meat head.
I hate those stupid ice breaker things. I always dread them and they make me sooo nervous.
First off, your videos are great. Im finding your stories very easy to relate to. I had a similar problem in highschool once when a guy was sitting behind me and he kept drawing on the back on my neck. i turned around once and told him to stop. then he kept doing it. then I just turned my head a little to get a quick glance at him and noticed he had his hands sitting on the edge of his table. So i quickly pushed with my legs and ended up breaking 4 of his fingers
Take each day as it comes… that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m in a double and living with another person is awful. But I’ve skipped so much class already due to SA, that if I skip any more I’ll probably be kicked out. I’ll just have to bear with it for 2 more months.
wow, i totally feel ya.
Its good to know im not alone.
At work its horrible because im so shy someone once said i was rude because i didnt talk much. I hate people sometimes. We are not mean to anyone, yet everyone is mean to us.
LIfe sucks with SA.
@GirlGhost17 same here! i just started college and i am in the same situation. I’ve met a couple of people but im just seen as ‘really shy’ or ‘anti social’
i kno ppl are so mean, they discriminate against shy quiet ppl and pick on us, but they don’t understand that it’s not our fault! We can’t help it, we don’t want to be this way. FUck them all!
@calladuz
I can relate man. Feeling Frozen. Its like your every move is being scrutinized and your totally aware of every muscle movement.
Ive blocked out and suppressed a lot of memories from my last years of high school. Its like their is a gap of between my last good times during Jr. high and now. The anxiety got worse every year. Like I was slowly shutting off my connection to the world. Great videos man. Hope to see more in the future. Much respect..
Its good to know im not alone.
he kind of looks like breaking benjamin
This sounds so familiar to me. I just started college in september and was obviously really anxious about it. my first day went alright, I was looking forward to meeting new people but at the same time was totally freaking out about it. Ive made a few friends now but im still very much the “quiet girl”.
ugh yeah i almost passed out in class, one day introducing myself to the class… everything got black, but i snapped outta it, but i got dirty look
Indeed. Would think that ppl grow out of this but its same at the factory Ive worked at 22 yrs. Theres several ppl 40-60yo that routinely do verbal & physical childish & aggresive things like that.
I too am not a violent person butve been pushed so many times to thoughts of permanently physically hurting these ppl. Instead I bottle it up & injure myself by punching a hole in a door when I get home later. After yrs of this & replaying in your head it can feel to eat away at you inside physically hurting your heart & head. I live in a very bigot & crime(gang) city. Am very short for a male , always alone & quiet so a regular target. Ppl wonder why their are school shooting & such. puh-lees.
Hey man, i gotta say, I really like this video. Even though you speak about some of your hardest times a lot of your character comes out when you speak about it. It makes me think “This guy went throught some bad shit but he’s talking and laughing about it with so much honesty.”
Well done.
lol wow that sucks for a first day of college
im starting college next week and im nervous
I know that feeling.. At work everybody hates me and wishes i would die..When I dare talk I’m so full of adrenaline that I can’t pay attention to what they are saying. I’m just charged on adrenaline all day makes work 3 times as hard.
NO! No No No! I wanted a violent ending. Yes you did the right thing etc. etc., but couldn’t you have embellished a bit first? I got angry on your behalf!
