Social anxiety can be hard sometimes, can be even worse. I have it too and it's not easy to start a conversation, do activities with others, speak up a little, have enough selfconfidence, get all the wrong thoughts out of my mind. I can tell that I really hate myself and can't forgive me most of the time but this is one of the main reasons why I'm having social anxiety. I panic when I write to someone, talk to someone or did something to someone. A big mistake was when I hid all my problems from my family, friends and relatives. I regret doing that because it caused me more physical and mental issues (ex. : shaking, dizziness, overthinking. I'm still 15 years old but maybe these tips could help you:
- find someone who you trust and talk to him/her/them
- if you can't explain this to your parents then explain it to that someone or get an adult who can help with this
- don't hide your problems (I don't mean to spread it out to everyone but talk about them to that someone)
- get peace with yourself, get time to relax, study, etc. alone, focus, forgive and love yourself
- find a hobby that can reduce the anxiety (ex. : I write poems)
- don't imagine conversations before it happens or what others could think
- try not to overthink
- do nice things to anyone because it can make you feel better too
If you can't handle it anymore get help immadietly!
Love you guys, be safe!

Social anxiety is way more than shyness or being an introvert. I feel like a lot of people mistake social anxiety for being just that, but its classified as a disorder and debilitating for a solid reason. Me, personally, struggling with social anxiety, it creates such an intense feeling of panic, most of the timethese episodes result in panic or anxiety attacks. In school, hearing the word pairing up or group work/group project sets me into a panic attack, and it feels as though all air slowly left my body. It is horrible when every social situation or event creates you to have a melt down or go straight into flight/panic mode. And so many things such as, you can do it or you got this, just try is way easier to be said than to be done. Social anxiety and social phobia is so misconceived, and misunderstood.

Im sick and tired of my anxiety. Its much better than it was a few years ago, but it still shows up when Im in new situations and meeting new people especially when I want to be friends with someone. I think my biggest problem is that my mind blanks and I feel like my chance to grow a friendship has been ruined. Today, it was really bad. I felt so heavy with the anxiety and my mind was ridden. Ive decided Ive had enough and am going to do these exercises. I usually do the breathing one but its kinda hard to do it to the level where I actually feel a little better when taking lol. I think the visualization and actually challenging my thoughts will help me a lot. Im so ready to be done with this.

Im in college right now and Ive been experiencing this crippling anxiousness every time I step outside. I dread it and it makes me dread everyday. Its a terrible feeling. I basically have no social life and it makes me feel incredibly lonely. On top of that it my makes my anxiety worse. I feel like Im being watched and judged at every moment. Its exhausting and I hope this video helps. Its nice to know that not Im alone in experiencing this and I hope it gets better for all of us.

I know its not just me being shy. When it always makes me feel cold and my hands get sweaty when it comes to people. Im gonna have new classmates this year. I keep thinking if Im going to be lowkey like always or actually start interacting with others. I have always been quiet in group chat, and I decided to say hi after reading their conversation it feel scary to talk to them. And once I felt relieved. But my anxiety is still there when it comes to thinking about this school year.

I didn't feel shy and afraid in public when i was little but now i even hate myself when i step my foot outside
And i think people are starting at me and i hate it so i always wear my mask
I can't even talk with my friends at school and i seem so different when i am with people. I cant even eat in public so i go and hide myself somewhere
I just hate myself and i feel like i should have never been in this world and because of social anxiety i feel so lonely and useless

This kind of helped out at the deep muscle rest and the visualization, I have social anxiety and I'm struggling, for example I want to talk to somebody or ask them for smth but I run out of things to start a conversation.
Public appearances:
plus my hair isn't long, it's curly, not straight, not long, has a whole sea of dandruff.
If you have a solution for making the hair straight, long, not having dandruff, the please reply!

Im an extrovert that has a really hard time talking to new people and authority figures and its so annoying. I get scared to even speak to people because I think Ill mess up my words and whenever I try to tell my parents that I have trouble talking to people they just say no you dont and thats not true because you werent like that when you talked to __ its as if they dont believe that people can actually change.

im going into high school in a few days, none of my friends are going to the same school. Im so scared because the school is big and im scared if i ask someone something i may get laughed at or something. One of my history teachers told me some time ago that no one really cares about you and that may sound wrong but it has helped me. I still cry before some big social events because im scared.

I came here immediately after my mom was embarrassing me. She dosen't understand I have social anxiety, I tried harming myself three times last week, I purposely stay away from any sharp object because i can't control my nerves and there's a bad urge to harm myself. It's also because I have depression and I don't know what else, I just don't feel good.

i have fast heart beat, and i stutter a lot. I never really talk because i know people don't listen and/or don't care on what i say
so i tend to stay quiet. this however makes me worse at talking, and i speak quiter.
also when i do talk to someone i dont normally talk with, my jaw starts to shiver, as well as my legs.

Ive been in isolation for two years now. I thought It'd get better but even after 4 years of therapy, things haven't changed.
Im terrified of people.
I wish I could just be normal.
I really hope the best for all of those watching this video, hoping to find a way out.
You don't deserve to go through such thing. Nobody does.

This video is recommended for Asians
Good thing for me, I can now finally talk to strangers normally without dying of anxiety: D
I have pretty big improvement after moving to Australia and talking with English instead of my mother language, took me almost a year to overcome that people wont judge my goofy spelling or accent

This might be a pathetic reason but I want to be better at multiplayer games but can't bear having to go against or cooperate being with other people. So I can only play them with my friends but obviously I won't be good at them. I can't handle solo queing to get better because of social anxiety.

I don't agree with the statement that people don't judge you as harshly as you think. I more often find the opposite. My personality type is not common, so I think people misread me a lot, especially females. That is pretty tiring. Thank you for the video.

I get nervous when talking to people even my closest friends and this is keeping me away from them I hate it. I am confused cause I even get more nervous when not around people because I keep overthinking my actions about when I was around people.

I'm moving back to my local school and it's just scary. I met a few of my new classmates during virtual classes and everything was going well. Except, I'm scared of approaching and I don't want to socialize as well but at the same time, I do.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
