  • mpa324 said:

    @RB902050 yeah i think it is caused by how you grew up or grew up with,,if you grew up with cool parents then you would tend to be like them,,if you grew up with strict boring dumb parents then you would tend to be like them..if you grew up with noone around no friends then quite possibly you will develop SP..thats how I developed it i think

  • mpa324 said:

    @hjbit i feel for ya dude…You always think that theres no hope or cure..I have anxietys all the time,i cry when im alone..people are at the bars on their night off and youre in your room thinking.I have thoughts of suicide and or end of the world thing..I don’t wish noone else death but sometimes people would put you down and make your problem worst and you tend to wish them dead,and you asks why the good people suffer and the assholes get the girls or have fun.World is BS

    I’ve had social anxiety for over 10 years (I’m 21). I work, but I have no social life. I want to go to university, but I’m afraid it’ll be more of the same (avoidance of people I recognize, sitting alone longing for relationships, etc). I almost feel embarrassed thinking about wanting friends.

    i used to be terribly afraid of speaking in class. i remember in 7th grade i was reading something out loud and i accidentally pronounced steak “steek” and the whole class laughed at me and i became so so so nervous and afriad of speaking after that. im a lot better now because i had a class in which the only way to do well was to speak so i forced myself to even if ppl would laugh.

  • rangebarron said:

    You surely aren’t alone in this.. I too have social anxiety. Many things you describe are familiar to me. People are constantly telling me that it’s important to put yourself into social situations, situations that you would normally avoid. This may help you to over come… The problem maybe that I am too weak to do that, but I do try as often as I can. Good luck to you.

    You are so cute. So brave. Hang in there. Just be you and stop caring what other people think.

    I have overcome my choking in my foodphobia by this , still have SA but need to find a hobby just read the website and give your opion about it

  • pite9 said:

    Hey, how are you doing nowadays? The social avoidance pattern is a beast. When I was 20, I had had enough, and during this crisis I realised that a lot of my anxiety was related to my lack of identity. When you express your thoughts, opinions and wants, you express your identity. Most ppl with social anxiety have been bullied, which is a invasion on your identity, that’s why I think it’s important to find your identity. This is a progress, and I still have SAD, but it feels less extreme today.

  • giliotine said:

    I’ve had this condition for thirteen yrs and it’s been a major block in my life. depression is gone but the anxiety is still there. i think i’ll try cbt, i hope it helps

  • dudett4 said:

    I know the whole deal: the night before performance is like hell, stomach pains, heart racing, diarrhea, can’t keep things down, feeling of dread… And you want to have just ‘the butterflies’.. it’s so much more than that..

  • dudett4 said:

    Mine started at 14. I am 17 now hoping it will go away soon. Mine is the same: fear of public speaking, performing, doing something embarrassing in public. I had my first panic attack while doing a presentation. I felt like I was going to die. I wanted to run away so badly, but I stood there and fought it (fight or flight response). I have gotten a little better now… I really want to be a teacher and this damn anxiety aint going to stop me. I wish you the best of luck!

  • Be1stkYourself said:

    I feel just like you do (or did) and it’s a hell. I don’t even know where I can get help, or what to do. I’m almost sure I can’t get drugs, because I’m only 13, but it’s gotten worse the last year. It really sucks. Thanks for publishing this video, you help people a lot!

  • RB902050 said:

    I agree with hjbit, people always assume we chosse to be afraid, lonely, etc. What people fail to recongnize is not everyone comes from happy upbringings and some people have suffered trauma at an early age. Maybe if people got to know one another instead of sticking to their own cliques then maybe this world would be a slightly happier place. I hate when people always complain about someone being so quiet. Just like some people are afraid of heights others are afraid of social settings.

  • 121Guns said:

    Watching these videos really makes me wanna cry, seeing all these handsome boys and beautiful girls at their loveliest age feeling like this… Modern society…

  • hjbit said:

    it makes me so fucking mad when people tell us we choose to feel this way. it is so invalidating. NO ONE CHOOSES TO BE TERRIFIED!! and they act like you can just decide not to feel this way which is the same as denying my life happened and denying the severity of what i went through HOW THE FUCK DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW HOW I FEEL?? basically at this point all i want is validation.

  • chrisbartley88 said:

    wrong.. iv had it 18 years im 21 now and just starting to get over this, this anxiety is sumthing we have to let go off…. to me its like a feeling off bein scared of letting go… but u have to

  • chrisbartley88 said:

    i went threw this, now ive had an amazing breakthru tho i still have the odd off dayy

  • royalsteven said:

    can choose not to pollute it. We choose how much bad influences we let inside our mind. We have a lot more influence over ourselves and our state of mind then we think. So, take it easy and stay positive. You don’t have any choice. If you really wanted to be cured you would take any cure including God. He has pulled a lot of people through hard times and cured them. I know if didn’t believe in him I wouldn’t been here anymore. So grab the chances and make that mind change if you want. Peace.

  • royalsteven said:

    your own tempo. You have to be satisfied first before you can please the other. Don’t need to do what others do, or to belong. Do what you feel comfortable with. Social fobia people at least don’t hide their true feelings, they don’t wear a mask. They are real people. So think about YOUR expectations not OTHERS. Don’t run past yourself to please others. And also who creates deceases? People. By bad hygiene, bad eating habits, influence of others. Not God. We received a healthy body so we

  • royalsteven said:

    Listen, I think this is more of a case of being too fragile, hyper sensitive and emotional combined with unrealistic fears. Just because you are openly honest about your feelings/emotions and a kind/unique/creative person doesn’t mean you are ill. The world is a tough place for emotional people because they open their heart/soul a lot more for other’s peoples emotions. They are like a drain. They suffer because of that. You have to learn to have less expectations, do what you want first, choose

  • pam1986ful said:

    I have had this disorder since a sophmore in highschool. i am now 23 and have never felt more alone in my life.. i want you to know, ur not alone… its nice to see and hear someone with the same fear. very comforting in a weird way lol:)

  • GraphicAbility said:

    Sorry but faith is a pathetic virtue in itself. Maybe you are able to live by an imaginary figure, and good for you, but for the general inteligent people who suffer from mental disorders, faith is impossible to embrace. Religion is far to flawed to live by. But, I do wish at times that my intelect was low enough to have faith – then I realize the happy religouse man is no different then the meth addict down the street.

  • Chriomuz said:

    Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.

    In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
    Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
    God’s healing power is ETERNAL!

    Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
    The cure for fear is FAITH!
    Fear limits you.
    FAITH ENABLES YOU!

    People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
    READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!

    God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM…
