How To Overcome Shyness And Social Anxiety

[@acshow3491]

I’m not shy. I’m confident. I can do this

[@libbyritchie1195]

Yess! Im so proud of you

[@shiva-mx4gg]

gave me a lot of motivation but when i go in public..

[@agostinamazzitelli9578]

Yes! You can💕

[@amymartinez6477]

That’s the spirit, you got this! We got this!

[@RandomHockeyFan123]

Same here brother same here

[@H76Pro]

OMG I was exactly like you in school. i told the teacher its ok to give me a zero as long as i didnt have to give a presentation

[@dajiahshai]

I’m tired of being shy, wondering what others think, constantly stuttering, not making eye contact. I am able to overcome my shyness, and I will start today.

[@fredblair8230]

this guy gives me hope

[@AleksanderVitkin]

Shyness is related to our fears of the results. If we want to overcome shyness that means we have to overcome our fears. I believe that everything is in our mindset. If we manage to change our mindset we will be able to overcome shyness and fears.

[@kc0967]

Very true! Great point.

[@yeonlaed]

After so many people telling me that I'm strange and weird for not talking much this is exactly what I needed to hear

[@firstyearstes5833]

someone i can finally relate to

[@MJ-dz8dp]

Just remember you’re not weird for not speaking a lot if thats your personality. People will always have something negative to say.

[@Angelika0325]

OMG! I thought I was the only one who skipped class to avoid giving a presentation due to shyness. Thank you so much for sharing this I now feel less alone

[@unapologeticmoi]

I have different degrees of shyness and social anxiety but only in certain situations. Thank you for the tips

[@e-mune2145]

Dude i thought no one else was as shy as me until you brought up the family part. Such a big help this video

[@mr_tash3431]

I'm not shy, I'm gonna do it. Hope you guys have a great day 😊

[@ProjectLifeMastery]

Wishing you the same!

[@deerhat7875]

why do I feel like Im learning how to become human?

[@leelongpre3044]

Love this video. For me, I make it a game - see how many people I can talk to in a day and then try to beat my record.

[@ProjectLifeMastery]

Great way to do it!

[@jason.hayles]

Fitness helped me get over mine, I took up a sport which made me feel better myself physically and mentally, then I started getting compliments from everyone which build my confidence, it worked for me and if you follow your passion I expect it will work for you

[@Viv8ldi]

I love the term "analysis paralysis", that basically describes my whole life

[@abubakarelahi8511]

From now on I will face my all fears, kill the negative thoughts and keep taking steps to socialize

[@johngrinthal2902]

I'm 19 and I've put off this fear for my whole life and it's really affected me. This video really described me haha but it's time to change it! Wish me luck!!

[@hdberry1080p]

if your reading this, all I have to say is that i feel blessed to have come across this video!!!! my anxiety is so bad that i have trouble with holding conversation and engaging in eye contact. This video really opened my eyes and got me excited to finally make a big change in my life. thank you Stephen.

[@anthonykaps9174]

Yes!! Great job and now is the time to take action and do something about it !!

[@anjolaxo3875]

Who ever bullied you must feel pretty terrible about themselves because look at you now, an attractive man who has not only improved his life but has gone out of his way to improve others lives too. I have really bad social anxiety and cannot thank you enough for this video. God bless you❤

[@lendcynorman50]

My 13 year old son is extremely shy and definitely battles with social anxiety (can’t even order himself food without shutting down and getting triggered into a hostel mood because of it). People always thinks he madd in general or madd towards them because of his lack to be able to emotionally be open. By watching this content I can say my son has all these symptoms and defense mechanisms and it makes me feel very hopeful that there is guidance to help me help him ! Thank you so much.

[@JonBeDoinThings]

I honestly thought i was the only one who felt that way in high school, i'm still in high school but that's how i've been all my life and i'm trying to get over this

[@drloriTV]

Becoming comfortable with discomfort and stepping into the thing that you fear is a key step! Thanks for sharing this!

[@Blossom44100]

I was a timid kid myself... still am...my overactive imagination was sorta my escape...

[@DJDavis844]

This man just spoke straight to my childhood. This is definitely in my top 10 videos on youtube. Great job man!!

[@Lalitamm]

Just watching you explaining this process is making my heart racing like crazy. Yet feeling the excitement for hope and knowing you can overcome it.

[@lillian7947]

Don’t comment much due to shyness, this is my first step! I got this! Woot woot!

[@ronevlogstv]

Man, I'm almost 26 and struggled with this. I wish i forced myself into situations like you did. All i do is sit in my room and game on my days off. I wanna become a better person and connect with others.

[@manoranjanregmi6606]

Hey, I have taken a step against social anxiety by commenting here. Feels so good to hear how you did overcomed it.

[@ok-kf3qk]

Same 😅 good luck with the process 💪❣️

[@Spiritual_Hypnosis]

Wow, I had/have the same thing verbatim. Grew up with the exact same issues. I even dropped out of college because of required presentations... Great video...

[@ProjectLifeMastery]

Thanks, hope it helped!

[@zachcostenbader7641]

I never thought someone else experienced social anxiety as bad as me. This is my first comment ever on youtube btw. I have a lot of social conditioning ahead of me and I trust it'll be worth it. Thanks for the valuable insight man!!!

[@emiliacurtis8640]

This is the first video that actually helped, and didn't just say things like "believe in yourself". It's a long and painful process, there was no sugarcoating it, and no false beliefs or expectations were created.

[@younessofri5920]

What about this feeling that people are looking at you when you walk in the street? I get it most of the times :/

[@ProjectLifeMastery]

Awesome, they are probably admiring you and thinking "Wow, that person is good looking!" At least that's what I would believe :-)

[@younessofri5920]

+Project Life Mastery Yeah, maybe. xd! And thanks alot for this video, it have really made me feel better after watching it. And i'm surely going to try the steps you've mentioned. Thanks again! ^_^

[@ShotRyder]

You literally described your younger self like you were in my shoes! Thank you for being real, dude!

[@vernon121]

PLEASE do more of these. I'm 20 and I have been facing social anxiety since middle school. I've come a long way since then, but I still have more social anxiety and shyness than the average person. I don't want to waste any more years being a recluse. I'm going to take your advice and start going out and put myself in these situations. Thank you Stefan.

[@BjGodfrey]

The most genuine presentation I've heard so far in the 2 hours of listening to these various topics. Thank you.

[@ProjectLifeMastery]

Wow, thank you for the support!

[@brookeandjustus4962]

Wow, thank you so much for this video. My whole life I've been shy, and had anxiety, so I don't really talk to people. I have been homeschooled my entire life, and the thought of going to school has always frightened me, so I have never gone. But after what you said, I think I might face my fear, and go. I'm tired of never having any friends, and being afraid. To post this comment is even scaring me, but I wanted to say thank you.

[@benj344]

Shyness my great weakness in my whole life..

[@rebbeccapaton84]

You have a super friendly and welcoming face, I find that really helps in these videos, thank you!

[@ProjectLifeMastery]

Thank you Rebbecca! Here is a great video you will love: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4ewf2eAfp2raa8

[@jessicasteel696]

This was actually very helpful. I have to admit I didn’t think i was gonna learn anything but I was hooked on the very first thing you said. My shyness is not my identity!! I’ve been identified as that my whole life and I always hated it. It has tricked me to think this is who I actually am because this is how people perceive me all the time. I realize it’s froze me from being anything other than that, and I don’t want to be accused of “being something that I’m not.” (Micro managing at its finest) Theres a lot of great information here, thanks!

[@denverm3393]

Great video. It's been my struggles aswell. I realize that being an introvert, I always wanna be the best at everything I do because i care so much about what other people think.

[@mohamedbarre4433]

I've never commented on a video before, but I will try it out and I hope I see a change in myself.Thank you

[@Sayonararuiz]

Not too far in. This video has already helped me feel relief after overthinking about a conversation I had earlier today. The overthinking was so draining, I wanted to take a nap. Even that was made difficult & woke up still overthinking.

[@shion3948]

This video inspired me a lot. I'm only 15, but I've had social anxiety for almost four years now. I had missed so much of school social life. I want to change. I still have time, it's not too late. It's going to be hard, but I've already made some steps. If you're reading this, good luck, I believe in you, you can overcome this state.

[@Account-yj8ez]

My problem is I will talk and take control if I know I am cooler/better higher up the leaderboards But when it comes to new people or cooler people then I am so quiet for example I could be playing football with the hardest kid in the year but if he is trash then I would call for the ball shout etc but if I'm sat next to him I wouldn't say a word so annoying

[@kliippp1478]

I hate that

[@ziggyza5070]

I'm only 1 minute into this video and I can relate so much. I'm definitely gonna watch this whole video and hopefully it'll help me overcome that (especially since I'm 19 now.)

[@DukeSaragono]

Wow out of all the overcoming shyness videos I saw, this is absolutely the best one!!!!

[@A-Pro100]

Great video! I have social anxiety. I can't even walk up to female receptionists. Random people on the street. My goal for this year to get rid of social anxiety. It'll be tough, but I'm gonna do it!!!! Thanks Stephan.

[@jenniferlafferty9706]

I have always been shy for as long as I’ve known, then transferred before entering high school. I loved high school and did really well with my social skills. I talked to everyone and anyone. Now I am 22, a senior in college and I am at the worst part of social anxiety yet. In the beginning of the year, I was always excited to present and to talk in front of the class. But now I dread it each time, get hot and shaky and then when I actually present, I start with a shortness in breath and keep it until I’m finished. I struggle immediately, as I give one or two word responses when I meet someone new. I struggle keeping eye contact and keeping the conversation. I for some reason always think the worst and think everyone is out to get me or doesn’t like me already. On top of that, I am also told I have a resting b face and in all seriousness, I do not mean to nor want to give off that thought. Thank you for this video, as I can relate and learn so much from it.

[@damonbervoets1435]

Nice video. I thought I was going crazy at first, then learned that it was anxiety. Having a panic attack in a social situation is VERY unpleasant! It's cool to listen to other people who have anxiety and get some advice!

[@qawsedrftgzhujik3460]

I am very shy and having problem with social anxiety but i am trying to get out of that state and start living my life. Thank you, great video! (Leaving a comment was also my practice for today😄)

[@lilyk1665]

Hearing your past, made me 100% sure I had social anxiety. I will tell my mom why I am always so serious and quiet, with the help of this video... thank you

[@ile8635]

This video really helped me realize that I was in a state and that how i am right now is not who I am. It made me realize how social and anxiety free I was when I was younger. Thank you so much for this video , i am definitely going to change my state of mind positively.

[@AITech185]

I'm really shy and socially anxious and I decide today that I'm going to change that and put myself out there

If you struggle with fear, anxiety and worry, you're not alone. I suffered with anxiety and shyness for years, but I was able to overcome it and so can you. Watch this video to learn how you can shift away from fear and anxiety in 30 seconds or less - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6nPY59jhqd3ZtU

omg thank you. i havent even gotten to the half of the vid but finally someone relates to my experience in school. made me feel much better

[@rubin-healmysocialanxiety702]

Wow Stefan very moving story. People used to say the exact same thing to me 'do you even talk?'. That really hit me when you mentioned that. Thanks for sharing!

[@pksy1967]

Thank you for the presentation! I wish I had seen this 30+ years ago! It was almost as if you were describing me. One of the things you said which blew me away was that being shy is not who I am.... That is a profound statement and got my full undivided attention.

[@necapeste1984]

This guy is the best coach i've ever seen. I'm sure that i will overcome social anxiety as long as i follow his steps!

i have been living with shyness my whole life but now after watching this video i'll start working on it . The most difficult situation that happened to me was loosing my jobs on an interview eventhough having the experience and skills requiered for the job . shyness has been killing me but i will work on it.

[@iyanar4819]

This video is amazing ! So glad I found it.. I love how he’s not giving quick fixes like some of the other videos out there which suggests we take pills for anxiety which doesn’t even help with the actual problem.
