Social Anxiety #2: School

I Love that they Ingnitials for Social anxitety Disorder are SAD…Lol your Sad when you have S.A.D

I also and terrified by the moment comes when I have to eat alone!! I'm gonna look so akward not making eye contact with anyone and feel like everyone is staring at me!

..You look like Robert Pattinson

You got to leave school at 15?Youre so lucky man,we have to wait till were 18 to graduate from high school so I have 4 more years of sitting by myself with upper class-men and classmates just saying" Why is that guy all alone?He probably doesnt have any friends. That's sad. Hes a loser"8th grade was bad enough,sitting only with 8th graders still wasnt any better,the only way I got past all that was my 1st semester I had one friend I had lunch with my 2nd semester I would sit with a full table

@bigb771 damn i can NOT spell.. i mean't "they WEREN'T Paris Hilton"

@bigb771 or ever even had it*

I don't even think I have SAD anymore of every had it, because i'm not the nicest looking flowing in the garden if you catch my drift…and frankly i dont give a damn what a female or male thinks of me in looks lol i've been called "big head" "big lips" "ugly" blahhh i dont care, i've had GF'S and they weren't ugly and they were the Parish Hilton, but they were pretty. So i've dated many girls…i guess i have nothing to really complain about..

and will make you more social. it want be easy, in theater you have to REALLY leave that comfort OF the comfort zone in your mind and do what the teacher tells you even if you feel completely stupid and look stupid doing it, it makes you more comfortable around your class mates, and i looked at them do it as well and they seem nervous and shy i can tell by the body language and movement, we're not the only one

just started my junior year…not so bad to me, i have Social anxiety, but it really doesn't feel like it anymore. I wasn't diagnosed with it but i figured i had it because of my symptoms. It's only when I have to do certain things or in a certain class with certain people. I am in theatre and i got up and had to impersonate someone in a movie, and i did it with like 11 eyes looking at me, just express yourself no matter how nervous you are because it'll break down walls and boundaries

in school i was labled a nerd/emo but im not that im just a person if i was labeld i would label myself as metalhead or punk

@nocjosh i can help you with that DONT BE NICE GIRLS HATE NICE GUYS NUFF SAID

At least you have good looks. People with SAD are super self conscious.

@peaches4218 I had the same problem man. Don't smoke weed ever again. I go to the gym every week to work off the stress of anxiety and it really helps. try it

@raccuia1 I second that. CBT has helped my social anxiety and I also joined a support group. My SAD isn't that bad anymore.

My advice is:
1) go to a university library and read and learn material in 2 or 3 books on this subject;
2) go to a psychologist and have a few sessions;
3) attend to this issue as your number 1 priority ( dont put it off);
4) the library books and psychologist will teach the steps in cognitive/behavioural
therapy ( those techniques do help);
5) everyday you do at least 1 hour of study or practice ( forget about other unimportant stuff, this is number 1)

thanks for making these vids i have social anxiety also

Hi, i had been diagnosed with social anxiety too and i managed take control of it…So speaking of experience i will try and help you…

1. Dont take meds…it acts as a depressant, its also the same as drinking alchool to numb the anxiouse feeling…you have to go natural with this…

2. No mater what anybody says, youcan get over it, the prblem is that a very big part of your recovery can only be aquired by exposer….and this is the hard part…simple, but not esy…

I seen something like this once before but cant remember where, thats right, in my dreams LOL no but seriously great video.

@Youngroe1 → You are right on so many levels.

atleast u look god dude, people with ur problem who are ugly have it ten times worse because they are exetremely self conciouss

i'm going through the same exact thing right now. i have a low self esteem, i'm so quiet and shy. can't stand for guys to even look at me because i get too excited about it. but i keep telling myself that i'll eventually change and break out of my "shell". people tell me that i'm such a pretty girl and i just need to loosen up. i picture myself doing it but can't get myself to actually be social enough. its like i'm blocking myself. it is difficult.

amg i love his voice reminds me of harry potter and he looks kind of like Robert Pattinson (:

dude I can totally relate to eating at lunch alone. I remember it perfectly. got my food, looked around the caf, no one I was friends with so I had to sit at a table by myself. I felt like a fucking loser.

@SAIDYOMAMA Stay away from meds. I've heard many times meds can make the situation worst and not to mention side affects.

hey thanx alot for coming out with this video
im 16 and i feel the same way
its like i started out very socialable and now im slowing starting to feel more and more alone
if u ever want to talk or something jsut message me or something
it would feel good to have a friend that feels the same as i do
