Living With Social Anxiety

“Back in secondary school, there were a lot of instances where I would be called in front of the class to answer a question on the white board, and even if I knew the answer, I would still have that irrational fear that I would mess things up somehow, and that the entire class would laugh at me because of it.

I always thought it was because I was shy. That’s what my classmates would tell me, that’s what my parents would tell me, that’s what my teacher would tell me without fail every year in my report book, and because of that, I convinced myself that I was just shy and that there was nothing more to it.”

Thank you for that I really needed this. To spread awareness that Social Anxiety is a real and BIG Issue! I have been struggling with this my whole life and thought I was just very shy like her in the video. It has prevented me from having relationships with whoever I meet even my family members.

I'm self-disagnosed with SAD and this story has really helped me a lot to see that i do need help or else I won't survive in life. Before this, I thought of a plan to go to workshops for life experiences etc to be more social in the summer and stuff like that but ik now it may not be enough. I need to take action. Thank you Anmol

from my experience, social anxiety is a lack of energy. I have the disorder, and I can see 90 % of people living with it are skinny. If you really eat and work out and you'll feel energetic and social anxiety will go by itself. This is true.
