@royalsteven Trust me, I’ve been down the Jesus road before, and it’s nothing but a dead end.
I really admire your positivity. I’m not looking for sympathy, I just wanted you to know life is not as black and white as you think it may be. SAD is a killer and a burden that self perpetuates.
@royalsteven I understand. But what I’m saying is thinking positive hasn’t gotten me anywhere except disapointment. Some peoples lives are just shit and it has nothing to do with how they think. Reality does not give a hoot about how we think. I know a couple homeless people who have been on the streets for years who believe in that positive thinking stuff, and it’s getting nowhere. No joke.
I don’t want to attack you but all I am saying complaining and thinking negative isn’t going to help any person at all. As long as you do this, you will stay in the same position and won’t progress. Your mindset can change that easily. It’s into your hands. You decide. I just hope you will be able to be cured one day. Keep on being positive, strive for the best, keep hope alive, keep loving and use your talent to make yourself and others happy. Good luck.
Well you’re wrong, Jesus is the only cure/therapist. We are just humans with our limits who aren’t capable of the impossible. I wish you good luck with your proces. God bless you.
@royalsteven Believe me I heard this shit over an over throughout my years. I was once a young ignorant “Christian” who believed God wanted the best for me. Over the years I began to THINK FOR MYSELF, and realized my mind was being used by religion. You wanna talk about a cure? Give me an island w/ a lifetime supply of food and water, a renewable place to shit and piss and I’ll stop “complaining”. Till’ then don’t complain about people who complain because then you’re being a hypocrite. Ciao.
@royalsteven What I’m trying to get across to you is THERE IS NO CURE. What? talk to a shrink?? Man I’ve in and out of programs for the past nine years, and not one of them seems to have any fucking clue what social anxiety disorder is. Nor do they seem to care. You’re not talking to some pimplefaced teenager in high school here. I’m 28 going on 50. Actually I really don’t have any beliefs, there’s only the truth and everything else is bullshit. Like i said thanks for your help.
Because social anxiety people are too much busy with their own identity and how others will react to it. If they stop focusing on their own suffering so much they won’t be bonded to negatvity and will open their mind to positive spiritual freedom. Wich is true freedom.
I understand you have certain beliefs but aren’t you willing to try anything that can cure you? I don’t understand people complaining but not trying. If you really want to cure or complain/suffer then do something about it i believe. It’s only when we tiny humans are willing to put our own ego aside and are humble to the one that is bigger then us that we truelly change.
I’ve suffered from social anxiety for about 10 years. I’m 21. I’ve totally missed out on life.
@royalsteven I have to agree with what Arthur Schopenhauer when he said “Human life must be some sort of mistake.” There was an infinite amount of time before our births and there will be an infinite amount of time after we die. But as long as I’m in this decaying awkward body, there is no such thing as spirituality. The Illusion of such may make you feel whole, but in the end it’s just an Illusion. My mind will be free once I’m dead. Thanks for your help anyway.
Maybe you could be more busy with becoming more spiritual. I never really focused on it until recently. Since I have opened myself to spirituality I have become more clearer, positive, thankfull, humble and free in my mind. No joke. Search the miracle prayer on youtube. God bless you.
@royalsteven unfortunately its not that simple. I’ve been practically trying to do that my whole young adult life and it has been absolute fucking hell. They’re isn’t enough room in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE for the sheer amount of hatred I have for this piece of shit society we live in.
@LotusDragon09 You honestly, in a single paragraph, just summed up my life.
yeah i have sa.. i just thought about not posting a comment because of what if my like 6 subscribers read it and think bad of me..
@HBKanedge818 i like the dark too, daylight and people are overwhelming.
@Omnimodus
I also still live at home & stay up all night long, I love the darkness. Before & after work, im always in bed sleeping. I HATE talking to other people.
@Omnimodus Dude I feel your pain. Ive had Social Anxiety Disorder since I was 12. I do have a jobs in a grocery store but I have no desire & im afraid to talk with any of my co-workers because Im afraid I may stammer, I HATE THAT. Iv’e worked at the same store for 4 years & only made 3 friends. I also don’t crave a relationship & carry grudges & look down on others.
SAD is an invisible killer
I know social anxiety is a problem, but never i repeat NEVER let it stop you doing things you want to do. I had crippling Social Anxiety for years, then applied to a drama school. Its that “Feel the fear, but do it anyway” and do this day i still have Social Anxiety. Never let it stop you from things. Remember, SA is like a little LIAR! in your mind, it lies, it always lies, it over exaggerates. ITS STUPID! and your SMART!
I have always found it odd that some people actually don’t have social anxiety and can get on with their lives
What I find really interesting about this is that he says the average time from onset until realization is about 10 years. I’ve been misdiagnosed for the past 11 or 12 years, & just recently realized that social anxiety was my true issue then started getting the proper meds for it. That just helped clarify a lot for me. I think this disorder has become far more widespread in today’s society, & the ones who misunderstand on epic levels make it that much worse for us.
If only the people around me understood exactly how I felt. They brush it aside and act like its all in my head, and that I “just need to get over it”. Im not as bad as what he is describing in this video, but it still effects me. I dont think im bad enough to need medication, but I certainly need counseling by someone who specializes in this. My ability to get a job is being affected by my disorder and finding a job with even minor-mid range social anxiety is extremely difficult.
@jdcresswell If I didnt know better I’d think I wrote all that and you copied it from me
I kno i have this
