As a person who's been struggling with this for years, I can confirm that doing anything besides focusing on yourself can really help diminish your fears. By “anything“ I mean facing your fears, most importantly. The feeling you get when you break the ice is DIVINE. This encourages you to do it more, because it felt good. It's just like exercise; you start small with lighter weights and when you break your personal bounds of endurance, you can move onto heavier weights.

This is just a method to cope with social anxiety, but the ROOT of ALL social anxiety is low self-esteem. When was the last time you saw someone with high self-esteem who had social anxiety? They don't exist. If you want to truly get rid of social anxiety, you have to find out why you have low self-esteem, and work to improve it. That is how you TRULY get rid of it.

It's not crowds of strangers that make me anxious it is smaller groups or 1 on 1 with people I know...

As a person with social anxiety i can say this is the very thing that actually made me even more socially anxious. Understanding people and their body language made me 1. think even more about myself when talking to someone with regards to my own body language and my own expressions and 2. made me WAY more sensitive to their reactions during a conversation with me. Although i get where he's coming from, its a bit counter-intuitive and can make it even worse with people who have very neurotic forms of social anxiety - they can easily twist it to be about them again and add to even more isolation around people.

I don't care about people watching me, what makes me anxious is thinking about conversations and how to talk to people I don't know very well in class to make friends

[renodelray]

I have no social skills. The minute you put me in a room with a bunch of people I don't know I'll freak out and show tons of signs of discomfort. I have struggled with social anxiety for as long as I can remember and I am extremely asocial. (Asocial is when you hate to socialize and would rather be alone, oftenly shown in people with social anxiety)

I hate this curse.. Like I want to go out and have fun but my social anxiety is so damn bad that it keeps me from doing so because I'm always too scared that I'm going to make fool of myself or do something embarrasing.. all I do is go to work, make up excuses as to why I can't hang out when I'm asked, and go home and be bored and sad that I go through this living hell. I hope I overcome this one day.. I'm only 21 and I'm already not pleased with how I'm living.

I don't think this is a cure for social anxiety but peoples bodylanguage is very interesting when you learn to see it.

*"You realize that no one's actually thinking about you"*

This really helps me with my depression, i'm literally *SCREAMING*

[SvenInMotion]

*I wish I could animate hands like that, you got crazy skills!*
Jokes aside, love this video, good job :D

I have social anxiety. It started when my parents separated and I got bullied when I was in grade school. Until now I'm scared of too much attention, I'm always anxious with how other people see me so I choose to hide my emotions and feelings. I'm tired of being like this 😢😢😢

[ChristieBrenner]

What if only the people that i know give me anxiety

[ChronicleLiving]

The ability to understand the outside picture of any social situations is a huge advantage. No one is born with that ability. You have to build it. Awesome video!

[James-snyy]

I truelly believe no one know what anxiety disorder is like unless they have exprienced it for them self. I am always thinging people are judging me as arrogant because i don't talk to them but in actual fact I'm shy and introverted.

[TheClearconfusion]

i can't even raise my eyes to analyze people in fear of eye contact. sometimes it gets so hard in a group of relatives. like where do i place my eyes and still manage to look smooth.

Great job man, I've been living with this for about 5 years now. I realized that it's my body language that pushes people away from me and yes, In my head it's always 'me, me, me' and it drives me insane. I usually put my head down when I speak, fiddle with my hands etc. I just can't stay calm, thank you for this video.

[dustydavehungergames]

Being anxious is just fear of the future, like you were saying. Just live in the now and your thoughts will calm themselves and you will be at peace anywhere.

Improvement Pill: Thank you for posting this excellent information. I suffered from social anxiety badly for many years, even to the point where it was life threatening - but luckily found my own way out through self-knowledge. What you say about focusing our attention on the other person is, I would agree, with the key.

This is because the human mind can only think one thought at a time. And if our attention is focused inward thinking "attack thoughts" and "judgemental thoughts" about ourselves - then we are not picking up on the clues, both verbal and non-verbal, that others are giving out.

That I would say is the principle difference between those who are socially really good - and those who are not as good as they could be. So it's really about communication skills. It's about tuning into them instead of attacking ourselves

But the one indispensable thing I would recommend anyone suffering from social anxiety to focus on is "listening skills."

Listening to people is NOT the same as merely hearing them - and listening can be done on several levels. It could well be if you are reading this that your listening skills are not as good as they could be. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BOTH THE STUDY OF NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION AND LISTENING ARE SKILLS.

AND SKILLS ARE THINGS THAT WE LEARN - JUST LIKE DRIVING A CAR. If you are capable of learning to drive a car you can do this.

A few years ago I invested some time and money in studying counseling skills - which in reality are advanced communication skills. Absolutely best decision I ever made.

Today social interaction may be a source of stress for you - but another way of looking at this is that its life showing you where you need to focus attention upon. What would it mean to you to not only to be socially popular - but also able to help others to lift themselves up as well?

Body language and listening or counseling skills.

Tips

Get a piece of card and cut it to credit card side.

On one side write:

There is no such thing as failure - there is only feedback that what I'm doing is not working yet.

On the other side write:

Mistakes are an inevitable part of the learning process.

If you put that piece of card in your wallet with your credit cards you will see and review that often. Those beliefs for me played a critical part in changing my life around.

Because while learning and practicing those skills nobody gets it right 100% perfect from the start. Anymore than someone can get behind the wheel of a car and drive well first time. So if is not perfect you just take a step back and say to yourself "hmmm that didn't go so well - so what can I do to make it better next time.

It's okay to be kind to yourself.

I wish you well

One day, I smoked weed and had zero social anxiety. I swear of god that my productivity was 100% that day.
