Social Anxiety : My Story Pt. 1
When did I first find out I had social anxiety disorder?
What were some personal experiences?
It might be confusing that I found out when I was a junior in high school, yet I had it for more than eight years. The thing is, for the longest time I just flooded myself and faced my fears - socializing with immense anxiety - and then it came to the point where I couldn’t fake it anymore. Hope that clears it up. 
Please ask questions, or comment so that I know to add you and watch your own videos!!

i was diagnosed …
i was diagnosed with social anxiety as a kid because i used to rebel against the teachers when they told me to do something i didnt do it then they would send me to the principal and she would ask me questions and i would shake my head or dont answer to the principal ,so they sent me to go see somebody. i just heard of something called asperger syndrome i think i match up with that more than social anxiety.
When i had SA i had …
When i had SA i had real bad shakes.The most shameful part of it was i thought they measured 10 on the Richter scale and that every one could see them.Which only made it worse in my eyes.

Sucks big time because i never got to experience love with someone or even a true friendship. I have no friends or a girlfriend, which makes highschool really hard. Hoping one day I’ll be free from this .

i really don’t think that’s the explanation to social anxiety, everyone gets nervous delivering a speech in front of a class of 30+ students…social anxiety’s a serious problem.
Understand that A) …
Understand that A)everyone has different tastes and B)not all girls like holes. There are LOTS of girls that like shy guys. Myself, I don’t care either way so long as the guy is passionate about something, that he has interests. Don’t worry about being too shy, cultivate your INTERESTS( it doesn’t matter if they seem “lame”, so long as you are truly into them). Cultivate these interests and your confidence will grow. You can be shy AND confident at once, but we often forget this.
Can anyone answer …
Can anyone answer my question especially if your female?,do females go for shy guys especially if their cute or do they perfer arrogant,assertive,outgoing guys?.
Gosh, my story is a …
Gosh, my story is a lot like yours! I wasn’t always suffering from SAD; up until a year and a half ago I was WAY more outgoing, I was always going out dancing, I was not afraid of social interaction, I was comfortable in my own skin…I started cutting myself off from everything. I’m either very quiet now or very outgoing(overly). I can’t even hold a conversation w/ people anymore, can’t look people in the eye.
Anyone could feel …
Anyone could feel this way. I remember in High School, my voice would be shaky when I had to give speeches. I thought I was crazy. Finally I got over it. It turns out I was allergic to food with gluten! It was giving me respiratory problems which were causing my voice to shake even if I wasn’t nervous. I’m over it today, but if I eat wheat products I get this way. No one knows what I went through, just God.
Wow i have been to …
Wow i have been to the doctor about 15 times because i thought something was wrong with me and i didnt know what it was but listening to you just explained what is happening with me. Whenever i walk by alot of ppl i always feel like there talking about me i also have a hard time making eye contact with ppl just walking down the street. Thank you very much your video helped me alot with understanding what is going on with me.
omg! its rlly nice …
omg! its rlly nice to know that someone else was rlly quiet, but you know sometimes i think ok well maybe people will think im a “better” “cooler” person if i talk to all these people im not comfortable around, i guess you could say, lol. and i could totally relate to the group thing, and i can really relate to this video =] thanks so much for posting this :]

i think i have …
i think i have social anxiety.. when I am around my friends I am fine but if I see them in public or anybody I know I get so nervous! and when someone popular or someone that isn’t my friend talks to me, i just want to cry there on the spot. I don’t know what’s wrong or what I can do… and when I walk up to do something and if there are a lot of people I would get really nervous.
