How tf did you make friends if you have social anxiety?

[@whiskeygaming7142]

Atleast you actually have friends. I have Social Anxiety and I have no friends in High School. I'm always alone, nobody every wants to be my partner when we do group work. It makes me feel like there is something wrong with me, like I have a disease or something. The only time I ever really speak is for roll call and it's sooo hard to even say "Here".

[@SuperMarioSignature]

@@whiskeygaming7142 omg same!!! I'm in highschool too and don't have a single friend. I never hang out with anyone at lunch and hate when we have to pick a partner. I literally only speak up when I get called on too, and those rare times when someone asks me a question. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone that has it as bad as me, but it's great to see I'm not alone.

[@KhmerL0VEKhmer]

I'm shy with social anxiety. It's true, I tend to divert & do something when it comes to social situations.

[@ZakH644]

As somebody who is both shy and has clinical social anxiety I describe it like this. Shyness gets better as you get to know people while social anxiety gets worse. For example when I’m hanging out with my childhood best friend who I see maybe once a year, at first I’m shy, I have a hard time making conversation. But after an hour I warm up to him and a we’re having a great time. Now with social anxiety, I went to my brother in laws bachelor party for 4 days. The first night I was actually surprised, I was really relaxed, we played some cards, I was making everyone laugh. Slowly through the next 3 days my brain started convincing me, none of these guys like me, they all have higher paying jobs and better lives than I do, their all so much more interesting and better people. By the final day I couldn’t hold a conversation, I barely talked to anybody and I had nonstop racing thoughts like those. I was just completely trapped in my own head.

[@katrinajung7033]

these past few months (until now) i just realizing that i have a symptoms of Social Anxiety. before i thought it was a normal condition as a teenager. But as soon i found out, isnt it bcs i can't go with my friends and doesnt want in crowded places. I totally avoid to talk to them bcs i'm not comfortable, even in reciting. Only our house and my room where i used to spend my time every weekend. My life is kinda boring if they know what routine i have. House and School the only places that i used to go. This is so kinda sad and hard for me at the same time😢

[@staytars]

same, my mom wants me to do something else (like play a sport) but i dont want to cause it implies social situations and human contact and i really dont feel comfortable with it lol you're not alone in this situation, i realized a few days ago that i probably have social anxiety

[@linzieardoin358]

Same, I thought this was just me good to know I'm not alone in this situation

[@xxsmxx3117]

I am shy and always think that what i do will turn out bad. I always think too much. I can't even buy alone at a store. In family gatherings I'm always awkward it leaves bad impressions my shyness. And I end up slowly hating myself. I cried every night comparing myself to others. "I wish i was born with that confidence." That is that. I think negatively. Most people get angry because of it. Even when someones trying to talk to me. I always got so nervous. Thinking "please leave me alone." Cause Ill act stupid and awkward again. They will judge me again. I tried to think positively but my minds whispering negative things. I almost hide in a corner not wanting to make eye contact or socialize or even let people see me. Its like im afraid of people. And I hate it about myself.

[@perseusofmacedon6918]

[@erinsuzy613]

Im this exact same way. I have to be around judgy family members who love ti gossip at 4th july and I can't get out of it Im so scared. I need to fix myself.

[@unawe2051]

I am also having social anxiety, I do care a lot about what others think of me and that's why I can't be even myself in front of others. This stops me from what I want to do in life and I think that the major cause of it, is my stammering problem. And I'm just so sad about it.

[@chahinezben6075]

[@prettysavagerose8020]

To be honest, it's happening with me maybe this will sound dumb but I always create an imaginary world and I am really intrested in a carrer but in my imaginary world there are some of important people to me who does the same and I am thinking what they will think that I am copying there job intrest even though they doesn't exist. This is stopping me to achieve my dreams so I am scared also I have been a little discourage by a person who don't even know me it was actually a youtuber and I am trying to fix this

[@destany9591]

I'm shy but also social. What traumatized me is when I was younger I was almost abducted by a man when I was riding my bike. Luckily I didn't get into his vehicle. He did step out and I ran. After that I'm always aware of what's around me. The situation could have turned out worse than it was.

[@petparadise6955]

Omg I feel you. In my case men were stalking me to my house.. I've become so paranoid after this happened

[@abcabcq313]

For me I was bullied through kinder-3rd grade and I haven’t talked in school since that 😔

[@SuperMarioSignature]

@@abcabcq313same. I was bullied in like 4th grade after I moved schools. For some reason that really got to me.

[@abcabcq313]

Super Mario Signature mine is probably worse cuz I’m too scared to talk in my youtube videos cuz I feel like everyone will dislike and unsub if they don’t like me

[@SuperMarioSignature]

@@abcabcq313 nah bruh. If we're comparing than mine definitely is worse. I haven't been able to make any friends whatsoever in 4 years. The last time I has a friend was in 6th grade and now I'm in 10th. I usually don't say a single word on a regular school day, though once in a while I might have the courage. I have anxiety attacks multiple times per day especially before school. Sure I can talk to a piece of plastic, but not to actual living human beings. Pretty much everyone with social anxiety would agree.

[@evren308]

Watching this actually makes me cry. Idk if it’s about someone understanding my situation or about thinking that It’s not only me who suffers. I’m on 11th Grade and ofc there will be performances and since it’s online, sometimes I don’t attend classes anymore and would leave if the teacher is asking questions. I built up my courage and told everything to my teacher about my situation after asking me why I have many absences. She just told me to endure since the term will last for 3 months. But I want to perform and have better grades. Thank you for uploading this. I’ve been researching about this.

[@evren308]

My teacher just told me that I need to mind my attendance and that she’ll be monitoring me.

[@bobbyjackson5172]

During all my childhood people called me shy and I couldnt have fun like other kids sometimes at parties. Today, I dont give a damn about how people view me. Im wondering how did I fixed this? Maybe It started when I wanted to become a "bad boy" and started fighting and becoming reckless. Today I live a positive normal life but questioning myself about how I would have turned out if it wasnt for my "forced" rebel outgoing behaviors during my late teen years, as destructive as it was.

[@prettysavagerose8020]

Glad you recovered, sometimes we need to be bad to recover. I actually discovered my anxiety with the help of my parents I am grateful to have them

Same- just figured out I have all the symptoms. I grew up wondering why I acted so shy to even my friends, or family. I only have one friend right now, and I’m officially in middle school wich is a big thing. I am also part of the lgbtq+ community. I’m not fully sure what part, but i like the same gender that’s what I know. All these things make me dread the world more and more as I learn more horrible things about it. I wish I could say I’m better now, but I’m getting worse and am to scared to tell my parents. I love u all. Peace! I’m in 5th grade btw-

When anxiety causes you to not talk they call it selective mutism now. My son has it.

[@breehardison346]

I have not been diagnosed with social anxiety but my parents have always said I’m just shy but I believe differently than them for example I get really stressed when I have to answer a phone or door , I cannot give direct eye contact , I don’t get up in public places because of fear of being laughed or looked at, I try to tell my parents but they won’t believe me and when I don’t talk or give eyecontact they believe I am being disrespectful

Look up scriptures in the Bible. It tells us to "fear not" many times. It has helped me when I read scriptures in the new testament that I am a child of God, and that fear is from satan. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power ( in His Word) and of love ( the love of God) and of a sound mind. We have been given the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:14-16

society is cruel. social anxiety does not develop on it's own. Society and it's cruelness towards shy or mild mannered people progresses this disorder. People who laugh at you as a child or call you ugly. It leaves life long wounds. Social anxiety is only a defense mechanism. Humans always find a away to survive. Things that hurt will prompt one to avoid

[@ironguardian1970]

So what if the issues raised itself on a one to one basis. For example I can be out with large groups and speak in front of hundreds of people, play music on stage and have zero issues with crowds. But the anxiety of one on one situations sometimes becomes so overwhelming I avoid them all together or am so overcome with stress in those situations that i physically shut down.

イレ your words sound almost like the ones my dad just told me a couple mins ago it’s hard for me to love my self even tho I try I wish I could just not be afraid and just scream to the world am here! And am alive but instead I close my self up and yes i wasn’t asking for u to tell me if I had it or not I just wanted to know if there’s posibilite I honestly hop i don’t have it bc if it’s only shines it’s probably gonna be more easy i will try my best if I do end up having it and i will try to practice to live my self how I am and not let al, the sharp words that people throw at me hurt and try not to feel like everyone is judging me and stairing at me and making fun of me when they might not even be or maybe they are I honestly don’t know bc it’s might me my brain confusing me but he thank u for everything even tho idk u in real life u seem like an amazing person so thank u so much I will try to get out of my comfort zone even tho getting judged is one of my biggest fears and I will try to have a talk with my parents and try to go see a doctor that can actually tell me if I have it or not and help me thanks u for everything 🙏

@@melaniearwen I wanted to check something and I think it deleted all of my comments and replies across everywhere. lol. Anyways, I will be changing accounts, though I may check this from time to time. I had commented in too many videos, and people on youtube are brutal, easy to insult you or assume things about you out of nowhere. I had noticed that everytime I got a notification, I didn't really wanna open it in fear that it'd be another one of those hatred-filled replies. So, I'm gonna be changing account and avoid commenting anywhere. I was about to delete this account but I remembered that I told you I'd be here if you ever needed, even after years. so, I'm not gonna delete this account just in case you ever do return. I may be overthinking things, but I don't like having empty promises. Eitherway, just wanted to let you know. Take care.

Is there a difference between Social Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia, or is that another term used for the same thing as well?

[@mikecimerian6913]

Agoraphobia is impersonal.

[@TheCakeIsNotaVlog]

It's fucking shit as well

[@TheCakeIsNotaVlog]

Indeed. It is not something I recommend

[@Pond6]

The Cake is not a Vlog I barely leave the house, but I do go out. If I never left that would be Agoraphobia. I have really bad anxiety around people I don't know and that's social anxiety disorder the two are almost the same in a way though
