The Key To Dealing With Social Anxiety

10% of the students recall the event and what if my crush was in that 10%😭😅

There was a period in my life where i had gotten rid of my social anxiety, it was in 4th grade. I remember the moment, where the teacher asked us to write what we wanted to do in the future, and that we had to say it Infront of the class. At first, i was nervous as usual, and i waited until only a few people and me were left to read in front of the class. My friends pressured me to go first, and i also pressured myself to go first. I went inti deep focus inside my mind, and took a deep breath. I kept repeating in my mind that "I'm confident, I'm going to do this." I repeated those words inside my head, and then i got up. I spoke loudly and clearly for the first time, and it was honestly refreshing. After that, i was able to speak clearly Infront of the class without shaking or getting nervous.

Honestly, my biggest tip to overcome the fear of public speaking is: to not think so much about it. Just focus on what you're reading or saying Infront of the crowd, just put your mind at blank. For me, i just sorta "blurred" the people who were paying attention to me whilst talking Infront of the class., and if you can't do that, then I suggest focusing on something else, or imagining the crowd as a bunch of objects.

isn"t it about low self-esteem? introvert - isn't shy, he is super sure in himself, and can talk to the people when situation need this. When person is shy, he thinks he is worse then other, he is not sure in himself, and that's why he get anxious and doesn't know what to say and how to behave, to make it look natural, because he is under great pressure of his bad thoughts about himself.

Hey someone from 2024?

I have experienced anxiety from 2021 until now, the most severe period is 2022-2023😢

I feel like the main reason people even have social anxiety is because of social media and short form content; I just made a video on how you can avoid short form content.

You just put my thoughts into words. I already feel uncomfortable when I leave my house, because somebody could be able to see me. Everywhere I go I feel like I'm being watched. And I really feel how it stresses me and my body. I hope to overcome it at some time... The problem is that I've always been a bit 'strange'. I noticed it when I got in school for the first time. But I've already felt uncomfortable being watched way before that. My parents think this is why at some point in time I stopped eating properly. (It doesn't mean I'm physically ill, but I just hate eating and trying new things.) However what still makes me feel stressed is the fact that I was bullied for almost my whole life. Since I finished my apprenticeship I don't see too many people so that helps me to find some peace. But going anywhere with people around just stresses me. Everytime I hear someone laughing or whispering my heart starts beating faster and I can't focus on what I'm doing anymore. I want to get rid of this. Getting tired...

Why am i shy but not shy at the same time.

This is complex. There are times where people notice due to reasons. Those reasons are personal.

Im in a space were i feel like i have to participate and I just don't want to so when that happens it feels like i don't want to involve myself with people and it makes me unapproachable

As an introvert by myself and by a little experience I can say that if You want youself to get included in something or just feel like you belong just talk without thinking what other people think of you just talk because nobody will gonna think of You bcoz they have their own shits to think of they don't even spend a single sec ond thinking of you so just do it......and one line I remember "if it doesn't matter in five years don't waste even 5 minutes thinking of that".......I don't know who will gonna read it 😂but if it really helps someone i'll be really happy

Your video, I believe, portrayed this concern succinctly and clearly, with graspable and plausable interventions. Bravo and thank you to all involved.

What about if the idea of not being noticed is the anxiety?

I started thinking like Geto. I’m in a room full of chimps

Bro ive been using swapping shoes exercise this whole time without even relizing that this was actually a thing

I look nervous to people while im really doing my best 😂

I feel like people avoid me 😓🙃

Thank you for this

Nah if they don't care about ne i will go with social anxiety

This video was funny in the beginning.

I can’t even talk to people online anymore i be getting bullied on everything everywhere bro💀

I noticed this when i was grade 7, introverted and nobody really cared bout me, grade 8 now.

Great video! Here's a curveball. I'm going to my 40th high school reunion. I had never been to any of the reunions prior. I was known to be a loner in HS. I was picked on during my middle school and elementary years and most people knew about this about me. I will experience the "Spotlight" syndrome since I didn't attend any of the reunions before. 40 years is a long time. I acknowledge that the people I will meet again may not care or will they? I'm sure the people may be thinking, "That's Terry. I know him but what can I say to him other than 'hi'?" I'm generally comfortable talking with people. I didn't make any enemies or have any conflicts. This scenario is triggering my anxiety.

My motivation is to confront my social anxiety in the most anxiety-driven situation -- a situation that most people know me by name. It's actually easier when I'm among strangers at a party. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this event a pleasant one?

I am a INFJ personality type so I can’t seem to completely agree with everything about this and I already do most of these things. Do you know how I could help my social anxiety with this personality??

me walks up to a girl brain forgots everything what i was supposed to say

I had so shy when I was younger I would only talk to my sister it was so bad my mom took me to a phycologist and therapist. Now I am not as afraid to talk i’m just not outgoing usually people approach me first 😅

What if someone have social anxiety due to emotional trauma?

I've been coming back to this video every time I've been in a situation similar to Luther King boy
well Its been three years and my subconscious mind still refuses to stop thinking

If u do great then they don’t care. Once u do something stupid or dumb or make a mistake or draw attention to yourself they laugh and judge. I feel embarrassed and my face gets red I feel like they r looking at me and judging how i look.

The best way I overcame it is as Improvement pill said is think more about other people and less about yourself, be less selfish. and acknowledge and accept the fact that you are mortal and will not be around one day and to live with no regrets.

I always be scared to try and make friends because people can be mean and I've always been afraid of rejection but this has helped me in some way it's just that school air hits different

How to be a very social person

Actually, the post-USSR community is not thinking about (myself) (myself) (myself)
They talk about others, others, others, with judge and hate.

I once had a terrible experience where I embarrassed myself in a stage to a group of new people, it was terrible and later that night I couldn't sleep and would often go outside to get some fresh air because I always feels like I'm gonna vomit everytime the memory of me getting embarrassed infront of everyone occur in my head. It was a terrible experience and now I still think about it a lot but Im trying mybest to heal myself and not overthink a lot.

binge watching this cause school starts soon and I don’t have any friends 😐

Just say a big f*** and start speaking

Don't watch this stick to not talking to people. Most of people's standards are so high you never meet them. Plus more than half the people don't know your mental issues.

The problem is I still care about those 10% who remember, what do I do then?

thank you

It's not about what people think about you. It's what you think they are thinking about you. Tell yourself people really want to get to know you. Anyone who acts like a clown is envious of you. It works😊

Am i normal?

I'd rather not be more aware of my thoughts, because it is distracting enough as it is.

Thank A POWERFUL lot❤❤❤❤❤

I grew up in foster care one of my recent jobs the people there would judge me .
Like how i walked etc smh
Im not racist by any means but they were korean owners but hired mexicans .
My own kind even went against me at that job .
Being I worked there for 3 years it took a toll on my mental mane .
Everything ive been thru growing up now this happening to me at my first job ever since i had just had a baby had to work.
Long story short nobody cares but they will pick on you when you are shining without even trying to shine on them .
From experience i know i have trust issues and i have alot more healing to do within .

I hade this problem and now it’s almost none existent. Though stress those come when the spot light is on me for example I’m class or what ever. My problem now is talking with people. I can’t be the first one to start talking to strangers or class mates so if I’m gonna have a conversation the other person needs to start. I hate it so much that I am like this and I wish it was different but when I try I panic and escape the situation.
That’s why I don’t have any friends sadly…
