    I don’t know what the hell I have. I’m scared to death of what people think of me. So I avoid them, even my friends at all costs. I just don’t feel comfortable around people at all.

    I’ve done a lot of sitting in my room in my 72 years. But I find that when I am manic I talk to everyone. It’s a lot of fun. I take meds too. My social anxiety let up when I had some help from a shrink one on one back in the sixties. Not everyone has the money for private sessions. They helped me. I remember he told me “you know you are probably a very friendly guy.” I didn’t feel like it then but eventually I did. Good luck on your journey.

    Keep going! :)
    I am my worse enemy too at times. I’ve had so many other enemies in my past and childhood hurt me that it made me tough but it also made me fearful and i learned that i was worth nothing. I’m learning to be my best friend now. sounds like you are learning to like yourself as well. its hard …but you can do it!!! you are doing it. you wil do it. im doing it too. lol
    do do do. hehe.
    great video. =)

    I make it a point to talk to someone everyday. I know how stupid that sounds to some but it’s difficult for me.

    Hi, why don’t you do a google search for social anxiety groups in your area and hang out with people who have had a similar experience?

  • jmeb17 said:

    I’ve came to the same realization as you..I want to get better, but i also know i will get better. Baby steps are the most important thing i think..not putting to much pressure because then you will have a setback. I’ve made improvements that im happy about, but still have a long ways to go..My meds are starting to work..I’m on celexa, atenolol (beta blocker), and trileptal which is for bipolar disorder. Are you on any meds right now?

  • SeliendaSmiles said:

    I LOVE THIS

  • melancholymood said:

    Never surrender…

  • littleazn17 said:

    i ‘use’ to have sad too but with lots of exposure things became sooo much better and thinking positive and exercising, eating right etc’ gaining self-esteem helps, and exposure to what ur scared of, try to be positive

  • MonieDaNam3 said:

    i feel like you do everyday…how are you able 2 drive then?

  • theboombody said:

    I found out today that I definitely don’t have social anxiety. I can speak to pretty much anybody on the street, and that’s exactly what I did. Asking girls out though, man. I have a whole heck of a lot of anxiety there. I wonder if I’d accept being afraid of every social situation if in exchange I wasn’t afraid to ask girls out.

  • Mattyc said:

    Your determination inspires me. I know from experience how hard it can be on the worst days but having that determination and desire for a better future is what Ive found to be the most important step to fighting social anxiety. Thank you for your videos and I wish you all the best.
