Its sad how much of this is dependent on the way we were raised by our parents... If we developed socially in an environment where we feel unsafe, then its likely that will persist into adulthood and throughout our lifespan. This leads to social anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, etc. all due to factors that are out of our control

As an introvert, it is hard to express myself. I got bullied a lot back in high school, and it took a toll on me. I have self-doubt, I blame myself, I don't know who I can trust. I feel like I'm being judged, and it's hard to be myself around people, I don't know if they will except me for who I am and who I want to be.

“Do you feel anxious around certain prople?” I feel anxious around almost everyone.

im 22 and i can relate with this, all because of my mom's actions towards me..

[haileywardle]

Wow. I really needed to see this. I feel unsafe around my roommate. I have become a target of all of her frustration and emotional baggage. And most of the stuff she gets bothered by isn't even remotely my fault. Thank you for this. I think it's amazing that you make mental health accessible to everyone.

This video summarises my entire life and existence to this current moment. Anxiety riddled to the point my stomach knots up, feel like I am absolute failure at life cause I am nowhere near where I want to be in life, never was able to express myself and the emotions I felt and had to fit the societal mold, which lead to me being unable to speak on anything relating to how I felt about things in my life as my parents woud just reguard my emotions and now I isolate myself from the world due to the trauma of failure and loss currently struggling to gain back that strength but depressive episodes are rather draining

Hi everybody! I know there're people who have a lot of pain and suffering on this channel. I want to say that YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR REALITY. You have the power to control your life and yourself. And it's normal and natural to feel all this pain on this insane world. But you, hear me up, only YOU can decide for yourself. Don't let others control you or define who you are. And the most important thing that we often miss when we are into an abusive relationship: we are valuable and deserve absolute love for who we are, for the mere fact of existing, we don't need to prove or show ANYTHING to others!!!! Please remember that. You DON'T have to be forced to do anything. Put boundaries and respect yourself. We are not guility and have to feel also compassionate for ourselves. Please don't judge yourself. Be accepting of all your emotions, ALL your emotions. And if others don't understand, you will feel the beat of your own warm heart, only for you, take that as a gift <3

[alexistourand]

Is it weird that I've been feeling this way my whole life? Then again, I couldn't really say anything as a child without my words being twisted to be used as an attack against me, and/or to humiliate me in front if others....

[xTrandon]

Wow, this video couldn't have shown up in my life at a better time. This is very relatable to me at work right now.

Here's how I overcame my social awkwardness and being miserable, lonely and sad.
First of all, I always have something to look forward to in my week. Usually, something I plan on doing with other people.

Second of all, I try to do things for sake of enjoyment and nothing else. Especially what other people think.

Lastly, I gave up on my bad habits. Mainly, binging bad anime I don't even like and scrolling social media for no apparent reason. Even if you don't have a major addiction you should at least limit your bad habits, In my opinion. I mean I something is doing you more harm than good why continue?

[runplatypus]

Very reason i just want to stay in my room and avoid people.

This is what I’m kinda experiencing ever since the first day of high school as a senior currently. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells and anxious 24/7. Yesterday, I had a full-blown mental breakdown due to stress and fear of failing consumer math and I couldn’t stop bawling until midnight. I’m trying my best to take breaks (I’m a major workaholic and perfectionist which isn’t good for my mental health) during class, at home or heck, take a day off from school to work on my mental health

[sunshinesunflowerz]

I've always felt emotionally safe around my parents and romantic partnerships; even if I want to open up or have opened up but was ridiculed for emoting. God has been telling me to move forward and lean on him.

Thank you!
