I agree with Michael. It takes a lot of guts to share. Great video :)

I don't know whether you read any of my comments, but i've watched your videos and what i can see is this: you think too much. Mostly of unnecessary things. Do this as a home work before you do the next video. Everyday write 5 things you are grateful for everyday. For example you are in america instead of africa perhaps. For a month do this and tell us what you think.

You worry if it would sound and feel fake? Fake it till you make it!

It's true I don't know you. But i can empathize with you in your struggle with self esteem. Cause i had struggled and at time I still do. I am way better than what i was 3 years ago. Since you know what you need to do to improve your views of yourself... adopt the nike motto... "just do it!". Affirmations, affirmations,affirmations. To reprogram yourself. Instead of saying i procrastinate, tell yourself i always do what i've planned. Have you done this already?

I had social anxiety. Still have at times. Didnt go out of the house for a month once. If i could perhaps i would stay on if i could. 2 years ago i decided to make a change. I had a journal. Affirmations. Hypnosis (youtube videos). Etc. I feel that i like myself better now. I promised myself to love myself first (not in a narcissistic way :) )

Stick positive affirmations in all the places you look at everyday. Just to bombard your mind with positive thoughts. Believe me we are the worst judges of ourselves. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself. The hardest thing... but it will sink in.

Congratulations on your first few steps of making a change for the better in your life. Also I understood what you said perfectly!

You rock dude. Huge inspiration. (Yes, I am spamming your videos...)

Yesss. I tried anti-depressants. They DID help me to make the changes... but only because I realized that it was UP TO ME to make them, and not some drug that makes me feel high all day... I say, if somebody tells you "You can't do that" or "People Never Change!"; Kindly smack them upside the head with a book on positive thinking, and send them on their way. They will thank you. "Those who say they can, and those who say they cannot, are equally correct" - Dalai Lama

You aren't just a decent guy, you seem like a great guy. I know that you can and will get over your anxieties... I know it's not easy, it never is. I only hope that it WON'T be a long process for you... I know for a fact that making these videos takes a LOT of guts my friend. Keep up the good work. Who cares how many people, or who watches this for that matter, this is for YOU. Keep it up!

if anybody wants to be mean or harsh to you with their comments they have to answer to me
