    You just helped me already, dude. I never loved my parents for the simple reason that I did not feel safe with them. As a result I grew up with low assertiveness, low self-esteem, small ambitions, a tendency to keep a narrow social circle and developed a stutter.
    But let’s try to put the timescale into perspective here: Childhood lasts for 18 years. Assuming a life expectancy of 70 years, adulthood lasts for 52 years. So is an unhappy childhood an excuse for an unhappy adult life? HELL, NO!

    Good video, I can relate to alot of this, especially being mad at the anxiety for preventing me from doing things I know I should be able to do, and things I used to do all the time without the thought in the back of my head… Good to see people can relate with one another

    i think that it mite be different for eveyone, for me its not ever having a gf and intimidating kids at school. im 17 and a guy and its realy hard for me to stick up for myself. during the stress of bball i can hardly function and often mess up. so all these intimidating douches are givin me shit about mannin up and givin me dirty looks cuz i mess a play up. i take so much shit.. ughhh this happened tonite and my depression has turned into anger, which doesnt usually happen.. ughh help

    Very true. It’s real simple. We just need to see it’s ok to get out of habitual mode. Well said.

    thanks bro! This makes me see that sincerity is healing, and connection can be healing. Ones mindset is often a prison and so meditation/relaxation practice etc is one way out. Not all introspection is the same becuase some types of it actually open you out. But also probably your exercise helps I bet. Hey cool guru man in your all white robes! Keep it up. looking forward to more.

    You nailed it, Anxiety disorders are all about people having TOO MUCH introspection. As human beings for us to mature and grow mentally, we need to be able to examine ourselves but if you spend to much time in your own head thinking about YOURSELF too much then your gunna start worrying about YOU too much, thus anxiety disorders occur . Thats why your so right on about needing to help others, we NEED other people in our lives simply for the fact that we need a way to take our minds off ourselvs
