Agoraphobia/Social Anxiety

That's a very brave video. I hope things have looked up since you made this video. I know what it's like to lose out on everything.

@ojeco jesus, you just described me..

i have this also hunny .. it sucks i just take baby steps and try to get farther each day i can only drive a mile now but it's a step in the right direction.. i'll pray for you

thanks for making this video. it's really hard for others to understand what its like for people like us and this really helped me not feel so alone.

U GOT TO BE SHAME OF HAVING THAT ILLNESS, THATS REALLY ROUGH, WELL I TRAVEL ALOT AND GO TO MANY NITECLUBS AND HANG AROUND ON DARK ALLEYS AND IVE NEVER BEEN SCARED, ACTUALLY IM A HEROINE USER BUT I DO HAVE A FAMILY SO FOR ME ITS NORMAL

I'm happy you beat it… I still suffer from this shit! I fucking hate it!

hi my name is bernard…id really like to talk to u..ive similar problems with anxiety…..

i wish SA didn't exist. I hadnt had a panic attack in over 6 weeks. i thought i was getting better, but i was still having the same panic/stomach/endless feeling before any social function of course even before my parents which was a first so it started creeping back. the only thing wrong with my socializing was i can't control my voice. but then it all hit me at once the other night. so thanks for sharing. i keep forgetting i'm not alone in this situation.

@treon123456 I hate being a hermit, yet, I love the peace and tranquility solitude within these 4 walls gives me. I leave the house maybe… 2-3 times a week. I'm trying to get out as you are, but, MAN does it take alot of ENERGY out of me. I literally have tunnel vision when I leave the house, and I walk fast to my destination. I hate this stupid disorder, medication never worked, therapy worked somewhat… I hate social anxiety… Everyone I meet is an extrovert. Why can't I meet shy loners?

Great video, thanks for sharing!!

I know how you feel…..i have to force myself to go out because i have children to take places……i have OCD, my kids and computer are my friends.

There are People out there judging people believe me 1 person got PISSED OFF AT ME b/c the way I was sitting so its not all in your head Most people do judge people Especially the Police They judge everyone they see poor from rich JUDGEMENT is going on You just have to ignore it

If you dont look like a MODEL then your considered a outcast This is whats going on this day & age Everyone is TRYING TO BE TOO PERFECT

i feel this too… its a curse

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have agoraphobia and have been home bound for over a year now. I know that this is hard and if anyone ever needs someone to relate to them or to talk to then you can contact me on here and I will gladly been there to talk or discuss this with you and what I know about it. you are not alone.

The way I see it now is that this is a blessing in disguise. Now I am open and understanding to people like yourself. I heard once of this condition, and I was like

"GTFO how can someone be afraid of leaving their house?"

Now I am that someone LOL. I still have my sense of humor, but I also get terribly confused, and the range of emotions is what is frightening yet also fascinating. Beautiful minds we have.

You seems very charismatic.

But what are You doing to fight against agoraphobia?

im social phobic too and bi polar pretty much so I get ya

I feel the exact same way.
I don't like being around people.

thanks

I don't notice overwhelming anxiety; so that's good. Did you have bossy people around you? Were you timid with people around you (Family, guardians, or so)? Any truncated desires, including emotional ones?

I sympathise I have been where you are – guess what you WILL beat this. It takes time, courage, patience and understanding. One day soon you will be sooooo fed up with this you will face your fears. ONLY until that day the healing process will begin. Inch by inch, step by step you will be YOU again. You must realise that your fears and the feelings you are getting are just sensations from nervic repsonse sent from you brain – these are harmless and safe.

Im not agoraphobic BUT i am suferring from social anxiety…when i leave my house..im okay.. i just feel like people are staring at me, judging me and reading me up and down..in classes im sooo self conscious to speak up because im soooo afraid that i am judged. I live in college dorm but I never leave..i have no friends because of it..i reallly feel u

this guy is seriously giving advice? he looks like he hasn't seen daylight in years, possibly spending too much time in the basement with his kids, he has truly crushed his approach anxiety. As for the people taking this seriously and listening to him..slippin.

You should realize before you approach women that most attractive women are BORED OUT OF THEIR MINDS by most men approaching them in a lame way.
I just made a quick vid on how not to be one of those bored men. Check out my channel.

Does it matter when you say "same" or "changing" or do you just randomly switch between the words?

is his face really nessasary?

Dude, hes the Buddah. THis is totally gonna work, i felt it already.
AMAZING!

Where are the other parts? Plz help!

Hehe, gotta love that RJ is now preaching zen!

@irkman123 BTW, I'm Leonardo, a Scorpio (11/02) NICE talking to you.

@irkman123 (cont.) But like I was saying, I DO have experience in leaning in to TRY to kiss a girl and I would do it, because I'm used to the rejection, and it's based on a psychologically proven principle of "classical conditioning". But this nasty 4 day old memory holds me back. I guess I just have "Fear Of Getting Arrested".

@irkman123 I have also experienced leaning in to try to kiss girls to practice manifesting the behavior in an effort to weaken the conditioned response to feel that icky sensation, BUT and it's a VERY BIG "BUT" the problem is, I NEARLY got arrested last week for going around the Flea Market USA in Miami, FL talking to 5 different black girls and leaning in to try to kiss them.

@irkman123 We're on the VERY SAME boat.
For the most part, I am able to feel approach anxiety a lot less (but not completely gotten rid of) and I am able to approach them and talk to them. But I am ready to take my skills to the next dimension. I'm thinking about buying Swinggcat's "Foundations For Generating Attraction" as it provides a wonderful education, but there is SO much misinformation out there that's hard to pick.

So actually, what you are saying, is: "don't think, just act"?

@ezname1234 Yea, true that. By the way i like snakes too, i got a milk snake and my brother got a python

@POZDRAW find an unattractive thing about them or make them up, it can help

It's one thing to research and talk about approach anxiety, but all that disappears when you actually try to approach. It's a crippling fear that takes your whole body.

Instead, go out there initially with the INTENTION TO FAIL. Your caveman-fear of being kicked out of the tribe will go away once you realize that there isn't a 1000ft fall if you screw up.

You must learn to take a hit and recover to realize that it truly is all in your head. Then you will be unstoppable.

can't we just get drunk? =[

@POZDRAW I get that a lot but the best thing to do is remind yourself that you want to talk to the person. It's a matter of sticking that message to your head saying you want to talk to this girl. Another useful thing is when you break this barrier and get a conversation going, make it revolve around her (it's ok to talk about a topic you might like but don't get over-excited, that is a bad habit to pick up). e.g. Ask her how she is going, what she did last weekend, what she does as a hobby.

Approaching women is like playing at a casino with free credit. The odds can even be heavily stacked against you and you can end up losing most of the time… but all it takes is for one jackpot to turn your life around.
…and besides…. women like attention – ANY attention. Doesn't matter what you say to them… they know you're interested. That makes them happy. At the very least they may not want to sleep with you, but they won't hate you for it.

I have anxiety problems, not just when it comes to girls, but just in general. Could these techniques work to rid me of my anxiety alltogether?
