Do you struggle with social anxiety? What's your best advice?

[NateOBrien]

I’m the type of person to hide when I see someone that I know in the grocery store

[Salam.-]

Ugh. Social anxiety is hell, sis.
The thoughts never stop.

[emanessa]

I wonder how does these people who talk to everyone without having their heart explode feel like.

[lewiscpowell]

I would say to someone with social anxiety, that it becomes easier once you accept that everyone's not gonna like you. Also being secure with yourself and who you are helps a lot to. I have become so much more confident the last 6 months bc I know who I am and what I stand for. Confidence is a skill and comes from the inside and can be improved upon when you become comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Wow you've represented exactly what I feel like, I go through most of these questions. You won't believe it but when I know I will meet someone, I prepare in my phone this list of things to talk about, to avoid being boring and to avoid the awkward silence..

I wanna be alone because I don't wanna be in these situations, but at the same time I can't be alone because as a human being I need these social interactions, exactly the same way I need to eat and sleep.. so hard

Social anxiety at school it’s the worst!you feel like the error between all the other extroverted, happy, always talking, kids.

[jennielc]

Social anxiety makes school a nightmare, job interviews set my heart rate going hours before I'm even due in, dating with social anxiety also feels like I'm being judged and instantly expect rejection.
It can be a living hell having social anxiety but what I've found is to be in nature, go for a daily walk alone and always try and be positive. Dont even think you're weird or a misfit....

Your channel is amazing btw!

I'm a man of 50 now. I've not heard anyone until now more accurately describe the hell that it is to experience social anxiety. When I was a kid, I was extremely bashful, painfully shy. But, it's accepted by others when you're a child. When you grow up, it makes others worry about you. I have to go to work meetings once a month where we all sit at a round table, meaning there's no where to hide no matter what seat I choose. While everyone is talking, I'm often reading whatever was handed out to the attendees, for the 10th time or taking notes of what's being said in order to attempt to look like I'm doing something normal. But, it's excruciating when I can see that others really see that I'm not making eye contact with anyone and technically, my head is down in order to write or read while others hold their's up to listen and to engage in the conversation. Today, I wanted to just get up and run out of the room, exit the building and go home where I live alone and never have guests. Thank you for posting this. You have demonstrated exactly how I feel everyday. I especially dislike seeing an old friend who I've not seen for a long time. The anxiety level gets to be too much in those situations. Thanks again.

Being an introvert is not the same as having social anxiety

[hellojennie_english]

[tylerwaddell]

I feel social anxiety when I'm interacting with people I know !!! I can't talk to them properly, my heart starts racing, i feel insecure about myself, I fear of them judging me!
But it doesn't happen when I'm talking to people I don't know more like people who don't know me! Yeah, people who don't know me! I feel more confident about myself I don't feel insecure about myself when I'm with anyone who doesn't know me!

[ErikaK]

If you're going through social anxiety, just know that you are powerful, string, beautiful and there's nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to fear... remember that whoever you are speaking to, whoever is judging you is also a human being. You are worthy, you are enough, you are wonderful ♡

[mays.]

There is no better community than a bunch of introverts and people with social anxiety understanding and helping each other. We don't need to explain anything when we are by ourselves. Even the smallest amount of support can make us feel better. I love you all & you are doing great! 💗

And always remember: even the worst day has only 24 hours! :)

[ddjgaray]

The best way to deal with social anxiety is to think of the most uncomfortable thing you can imagine, in that social setting, then you'll realize what you're doing is OK and normal compared to the thought.

One of the most unique youtube channel that provides great content on issues that are merely talked about!! :)

[Shamonsnipes]

I've dealt with social anxiety for years, elementary and middle school I was bullied for my looks. It made me super insecure. One day I was bullied outside where we would meet for the busses. And it was so terrible because I was humiliated in front of literally everyone. I wasn't really the same ever since, it was a traumatic experience that still has life long effects on me. Especially now that I'm in high school, I use to be social but now I'm an introvert.
