[@randomhuman_1999]

It really is sort of sad that Phil is comparatively much more socially anxious and afraid of human interaction than Dan, but Dan is usually the one with that exact branding. Phil is just so much quieter about his personal problems that I'm glad he has a loud best friend to stand up for him when he can't gather up the courage to.

[@lilliematthews7922]

Random Human "Can Phil express an opinion?"

[@hollybramhall1351]

Lillie Matthews yes I love that - when Dan's standing up for and helping out Phil like that 😍

[@karenalejandra3580]

Random Human awwww yess

[@antijess1121]

"loud best friend"

[@annrodriguez7391]

Random Human preach

[@ARGhostie]

Isn't it kind of strange how Dan's super known for hating and being awful at people stuff, yet it actually very much seems like he is the more confidant one at it out of the two of them.

[@milohehim4742]

it's probably because of their brandings, people take them way too seriously as if they're their entire personalities

[@annashaw2156]

this is exactly what I thought but I feel like Dan is a more extrovert person as a whole, and so situations he feels socially awkward in are generally more extreme/bizarre (like selling an axe to a ten year old) whereas Phil is more introvert and so his socially awkward situations are much more relatable for us, as I'm presuming most of their audience are introverts. Basically they both have awkward moments but because of his personality, Dan's are more comical and less relatable. Also I agree with the comment about branding^

[@ARGhostie]

+Nico di Angelo Y'know, that's a very good point. It has never occurred to me before that that could happen. That being said - I've always identified as an introvert because I feel drained from being around people and always need time to myself afterwards, but I also do crave the interaction when I'm back to feeling good in myself. I've heard before that the supposed definition of being an introvert is to recover energy while alone, while being an extrovert is to gain energy from being with people. Using that definition, I would have guessed that they would both fall into category of being introverts. That might not be true though.

[@tophermkr2159]

I know it sounds weird but I have social anxiety and do a lot of social things. I don't know why I do this to myself but I feel like Dan could be the same that he does feel anxious in social interactions but deals differently than Phil. It seems like he still pushes himself because he likes being social anyways but does feel anxious.

[@karenalejandra3580]

Arkie Ray but Dan is not bad at people. Who said that? He's totally not an awful person

[@EmmasAveragelife]

Who else has to just sike them selves up for saying that you're present in class

[@hollybramhall1351]

Emma's Average life same

[@tharin8635]

Emma's Average life still to this day

[@nyiah2079]

Emma's Average life I thought I was the only one that did that lol

[@EmmasAveragelife]

sarcastic smile I'm glad I'm not the only one because each class I constantly cry in my head😂

[@hollybramhall1351]

I'm always thinking like what if I say something wrong and it's really awkward or what if I need to cough so my voice is all like rough or not there when I try to answer or something else... 😂

[@chaebugi9778]

[@chaebugi9778]

omg thanks for all the likes o-o

[@redorangeyellow2107]

this is so interesting bc everyone talks about dan hating human interaction and being anxious but noone talks about phil. i havent even really noticed this about phil until watching this vid

[@milohehim4742]

ikr !! phil is generally very ignored tbh.

[@saffysaffyrocks]

simon the hedgefrog i don't think phil's ignored, it's just that loathing human interaction is a part of dan's "danisnotonfire" brand

[@Avellania]

redorangeyellow There is a difference between disliking/not needing social interactions (introverted) and being afraid of it (shy or anxious).

[@scarecrow_irl]

Avellania I feel like sometimes they go hand in hand though. I dislike social interactions _because_ I have social anxiety. but idk, maybe i'm just introverted and i have social anxiety?

[@faicotone]

I feel like Dan can talk to people but he hates it and it exhausts him emotionally. And of course, he has his occasional malfunctions. Phil, on the other hand, is shy and socially awkward whenever he's not with someone he's completely comfortable with (eg. Pj, Hazel, Cat, Dan, etc)

[@livzara429]

Dan is a good friend if he's willing to pretend to be you on the phone

[@jade6052]

Liv & Zara boyfriend*

[@Ray-yu2mc]

philsshrimpprince Lol i love when people do that

[@isabelallen1005]

Liv & Zara I know right? I know that if I had to pretend to be my friend on the phone, I would get overly nervous. 😂

[@emma-mz6bv]

Liv & Zara i want a dan in my life:(

[@keishataylor]

Where do I get a dan

[@teamjacob4eva]

i once said 'bye, love you' to the pizza delivery guy over the phone i havent called that place since im so scared and awkward

[@bridget8677]

That sounds like something i would do tbh. I'm an awkward mess in social situations, especially talking on the phone.

[@MitakachkaSan]

i went to this shop and told the woman to have "a nice weekend" ON A TUESDAY

[@EllaIngram]

When people say thank you to me, I always say thank you back?? I mean, ok, it's not that weird, but normally when someone thanks you you say "you're welcome" xD sometimes my mouth just fails me when I'm spoken to and I just blurt out the first thing that comes into my head

[@todtriste]

i sometimes want to say something to one family member or friend and i call their name and say "what" after it, like i think a lot that they will say "what" so i say it before their name. for example: Sebb what?

[@teamjacob4eva]

i feel ya??? i lend my things to many people and i'm the one saying thank you when the return it. and on my birthday instead of thanking people when they wish me, i say happy birthday

[@Ghostkid-777]

I understand exactly how he feels as I have terrible social anxiety and just anxiety in general. Ringing people is so difficult, audience participation is terrifying and confrontation is literal hell!

[@thesupremegentlemantm4442]

Gh0stgirl 777 *Pheels

[@l4515]

Gh0stgirl 777 i can't even order pizza, if i can't order online then i'll not eat at all.

[@danbugman2393]

Gh0stgirl 777 yeeess i feel you, but i'm going to therapy and that's helping me a bit to control my social anxiety because before it was literally impossible to make me interact with people

[@badluck889]

I've gotten to the point were if teachers are calling on kids with their hands up even though mine isn't I will have a small panic attack

[@Ghostkid-777]

dafne I'm currently going to therapy too. It's helping a little, I only started going this year (I'm 17 btw). I wish I got into therapy sooner tbh.

[@saffysaffyrocks]

i always think about this because i think a lot of people assume dan is the socially awkward one because of his danisnotonfire content, but phil just doesn't have it as a part of his branding. also, i feel like although dan has his awkward moments with certain people, he's proven that he's not afraid to be assertive, whilst phil seems to be more a silent observer and judger

[@saffysaffyrocks]

Nico di Angelo that's a great analysis! i totally agree with you

[@biancakatalinic9717]

Nico di Angelo Most introverts actually enjoy human interaction. I believe Phil is a socially anxious introvert that likes to interact with people but some situations may make him feel awkward.

[@ThaleiaFantasy]

I believe I recognise Dan's way of handling social interactions from myself, which is basically based in a really good "acting" ability/mentality. To deal with all the shit life throws at you, you have to be able to act confident and "normal" in social situations, and although it is a fact that Dan isn't "normal", he is better at pretending than Phil. My sister and I have the same dynamic; We both hate social interactions, but while she legit has more social skills than I do around people she knows well, she can't ever assert herself or do stuff like calling up strangers or ask for customer service, that kind of stuff, which she gets me to do. And she can't go back to a place if she has embarrassed herself, whereas I just pretend that everybody are - to use a Dan expression - peasants, and I have every right to ask for their services or whatever it is. And this approach requires being aware of what you are doing, which I believe Dan is. Extremely self-aware at all times, throwing up that mental shield, as opposed to Phil's having his head in the clouds.

[@saffysaffyrocks]

Mille Hafnar Yeah I'm quite similar in some ways. If my friends are too awkward to do something, I always take it upon myself to do it for them, and just fake a role of assertiveness and confidence.

[@biancakatalinic9717]

Nico di Angelo I already know the description of introversion. Why do you believe Phil is more extroverted overall? His job is literally talking to a camera (I've read that most youtubers are introverts, but some try to fake it and appear extroverts), his hobby is gaming, he has a small group of close friends and he seems happy with his life, which directly proves that I am probably right, because: if he would have been an extrovert, the lack of regular human interaction and social activities would have depressed him. He isn't depressed, isn't he? (Please reply, I really enjoy arguing)

[@Anasvet28]

this explains why Dan makes pannels by himself and Phil doesn't, and that one pannel when they made Charlie to change seats with Dan so he could be next to Phil, and why Dan always talks more in interviews and is always checking up on Phil during these interviews. He's aware of Phil's problem and tries to make it better for him. so cute.

[@LucyGhosts]

i have social anxiety (I'm going to therapy it's fine) and I didn't notice phil has social anxiety too??? I feel bad now

[@georgiareyn]

Lucy Ghost I think Phil has kind of overgrown it since he's hosted the Brits and more shows, but I think he's just socially awkward now I think it'll just stay tbh

[@milohehim4742]

dan mentions him getting anxiety pretty often so i think it's still the same

[@lpodverde]

some of these stories are from this year so he probably still has it.

[@hilde1493]

you can be socially awkward and be nervous in social situations without having the actual disorder anxiety tho

[@ikz8439]

AntiSocialMe you can't overgrow social anxiety maybe he's just socially awkward because being socially awkward and having social anxiety are different things

[@comicphans2440]

The comments on this are so comforting, i'm realizing i'm not the only one with a fear of calling someone, answering the door, putting my hand up in class ect. And just look at what Phils achieved! He is honestly one of the main reasons that keep me going, he has done so mcuh and I am so so proud of him

[@Mad-ik4fq]

Comicphans it you! I love your videos

[@femaleexit6050]

Yeah..

[@splynndid]

My parents always call me a pussy because I hate doing those things and I'm like "well sorry I'm a failure of life"

[@mattbowers4154]

Comicphans same here

[@star3674]

Comicphans yeah, I literally have to practice the things I will say to a server, also I hate being wrong it is super awkward and horrible and I am like Phil where I don't like going to the doctors and wasting people's time

[@ididitb]

Social meerkat mode.

[@espresshoe9253]

sNart Noodle I mean same

[@marissa1138]

Relatable

[@Kayla-pd1sk]

is anyone else scared to get up and ask the teacher to go to bathroom because you think everyone will stare?? just me?...Oh...Okay

[@anniepennie5976]

Helena Smith i relate so much. Also, it always feels like the teacher is going to say no and all the other kids will see you get rejected. It rarely happens though, so just go for it! 😅

[@fedrat.2118]

Dan and Phil are my senpais everytime I need to go to the bathroom I tell my friend and then not get up for like 5 mins and my friend is always like just do it but I always feel like yhre's people staring

[@josiekaret6492]

Mee

[@jkhrissa]

Helena IsAPancake omg yes

[@courtneyramirez8690]

Helena IsAPancake Yes but if I gotta go I gotta go. Even if I feel as if they're staring. Once it was cold in the classroom (if it's really cold my stomach hurts so bad) so I literally ran to the teacher and everyone stared. so when I got back I stood outside the door for a few minutes 😂😂

[@saffysaffyrocks]

Fun anecdote: When I was younger I was so socially awkward in phone calls, that I accidentally bought £50's worth of pasta from this sales guy in Italy

[@Victoria-hp6sf]

saffysaffyrocks once my best friend told me that when she was 15 her mom gave her a $20 to go buy a five dollar figurine or something and she went up to the register and bought the figure and came back to her mom and gave her 10c in change because the lady at the register was pushing her to buy a $14 book to donate to the childrens hospital and she couldnt figure out how to say no and then her mom kept the figurine for a whole year or something because she was in so much trouble

[@mylouhedwig678]

That remembers me of the time that Phil went to a shop but they didn’t have what he needed but he felt too akward leaving without anything so he bought a kinder egg

[@andreag.c.1156]

Okay, now we need the whole story.

[@maxa8576]

Dan is the concerned boyfriend

[@richardganseythelll750]

nah, he's a good friend, that's all

[@miriamvelazquez8327]

RichardGanseythelll good friend? nah they're more like best friends

[@ramblchat55]

Best friends is an understatement

[@Emma-gn3vg]

[@Bruh-mg5ff]

RichardGanseythelll this aged well

[@bridget4139]

If I'm forced to make a phone call, I gotta prepare my speech. Bruh I ain't gonna wing it, I need to know exactly what to say incase I fuck it up and think about it for ages lmao

[@finley2166]

Bridget i do this! like if im ordering takeout then i write down my whole order, my address, my phone number or anything else i need so i dont forget and then i have to tick it off as i go

[@saral797]

Before I answer the phone if someone's calling me, I always have to think if an excuse to hang up in case things get akward

[@rianlewis1066]

i literally cant wing things lol

[@emeraldbutterfly8876]

s I do that too, and I have to mentally prepare myself to talk to anybody.

[@olivetree2187]

s I have to chant in my head what I’m going to say to the lunch lady at school. It’s literally just “thanks, have a good day.” That’s it. And I have to mentally prepare myself.

[@benji2339]

I'm more scared of talking to someone through the phone, than answering the door.... how.... h-o-w

[@minkinface]

I literally wrote a whole essay on it for my blog, so yeah, I know how awkward talking on the phone can get.

[@elliesennhenn9193]

holo phantasia how......ell Howell :3

[@Emma-ul3gz]

The thing is, with phone calls there's no visual cues, as well as the fact that you're basically just sitting there talking to a machine. I just feel like it's worse for me when I can't tell how the other person is reacting.....and that's most of the time......

[@rosielagan]

I MET DAN AND PHIL TWO DAYS AGO AND PHIL WAS SO SHY AND CUTE but he was so sweet and it was sad to see that he was nervous to meet people that literally worship him and his best friend. Dan was so kind and did most of the talking for phil i love them so much

[@vrishas7499]

I resonate with phil sm bc I hate basically any social situation. I'm so awkward and I feel bad sometimes or I want to help someone but I never can bc I'm too scared to approach them

[@PaolaMartinez-wx4vb]

Vrisha S yes same. I even sometimes delete some comments I write on KZbin because I feel like somebody is going to hate on me or I something and i just feel so insecure

[@pejays1248]

Same, I can’t even ask a subway man for a sandwich ;-; I’m nearly 13 years old...

[@natalyavillegas5495]

honestly don’t know how I’m going to make it through life

[@rosericorico4980]

SAME! My best friend was telling him about some personal stuff and I REALLY wanted to help but I just sat their sighlenty like an idiot 😭

[@TheApopolypse1]

ive never actually realised how socially anxious phil actually is until now from this and now i can easily relate to him and feel bad for not acknowledging it to be that serious

[@prettyfunny7616]

This reminds me of a book signing they did where Dan and Phil had to leave and there were still people in line. A mad dad screamed across the room at Dan and Phil, and Phil was so scared in that video.

[@jamaicawolf8349]

What video ?

[@rianlewis1066]

Jamaica Wolf It's on KZbin, just search "Dad yells at Dan and Phil" except he was actually yelling at the publisher, not Dan and Phil

[@jazzyspork8745]

Yea he just kind of walks away and Dan talked to the dad which is honestly relatable

[@avelynsoto3817]

am i weird for not liking talking on the phone like i can text but talking on the phone is the worst

[@minkinface]

Same.

[@lynchsaran]

No you aren't i hate to I get anxious

[@frogsrfriends]

im exactly the same idk what it is but its something about talking to someone and not being able to see them it makes me all nervous but texting is completely fine

[@hollybramhall1351]

abby Soto same

[@karenalejandra3580]

abby Soto omg same, ugh, i make so many awkward silences

[@illbreakyourprettyface6024]

i can't even order food. i always get my parents or my friends to do it for me

[@mads4763]

tiff Same. It's so easy for them and they just think I'm being lazy. They don't get that I really just can't do it.

[@plutoandpolaris]

tiff I have a bad stutter to the point where it gets almost painful if my jaw locks, so in ANY situation where I have to talk to strangers is just NO. Ordering food, talking to cashiers, presenting in class, making phone calls, asking to go to the bathroom, answering questions in class, EVERYTHING. I fucking hate it.

[@gnarlybun]

tiff Me too because I have it all planned out but when I say it doesn't make sense. one time my mom made me order by myself and I started to cry lmao

[@Victoria-hp6sf]

me too. when i was 13 i had this horrible friend who did lots of awful things but she made me do these social things for myself to the point where i was actually crying and it made me cry more that i was crying and i just thought i was a defective human for not being able to do things? but then i lost her as a friend and my new friends are much nicer and they will always either do things for me or they will stand by my side and be supportive or like hold my hand or something so i dont freak out and just start crying and becoming hysterical when im just trying to order a soda pop lol

[@rachelavocadotoast_3311]

I just order online even if that's still awkward

[@itsisha9762]

YEAH BOII Phil being relatable

[@bella-ls2hh]

•The Cupcake Puppy• anxiety isn't relatable wtf

[@strawberrylb]

bella b if most of the comments have social anxiety then it's relatable anything can be relatable really

[@bella-ls2hh]

Hi ImLisa i understand that but the whole "mental illness is so relatable omg i get nervous too!!1!1!1" tends to downplay anxiety and make people think it's only people being nervous sometimes, when it's actually a lot more. when you call a mental illness relatable, it makes neurotypical people feel like they can relate to anxiety, when in fact they don understand how bad it really is.

[@ellafaie]

I relate to phil so much tbh

[@phantrash2938]

i love phil so much he is too precious

[@mayagarcia2700]

I'm really socially anxious but more at the cinemas and MORE when someone making noise so yeah I can relate to Philly

[@kaydineg3686]

angelus terrae today these people in the back were being so obnoxious and I just didn’t say anything :/

[@isabellamacy7316]

i feel like dan is the only person phil is comfortable around without getting some kind of anxiety. it's really too cute :)

[@arabellas70s]

I don't think so. I think he has other good friends

[@richardganseythelll750]

nope. Phil has good friends besides Dan and there's nothing cute in being anxious. it clearly causes him distress, how could that be cute?

[@darkenedstrive1394]

Well, Dan and Louise, PJ, Chris, Cat, etc. He has friends, he's just around Dan the most. Dan might contribute to keeping each other calm, however.

[@jaelyn8881]

Dumb ass phannies

[@pastelphanismyaesthetic7781]

I HATE presenting projects in class because I always get so nervous and then I usually end up flubbing up my words and it's horrible. Ugh I hate being socially awkward

[@phanictwentynekilljysatthe162]

pastel phan is my aesthetic same lmao

[@fedrat.2118]

Katie X same I had one a couple of weeks ago and my friend was telling me I ws doing good and giving me thumbs up and making me laugh but it wasnt much better (noone was listening anyways....)

[@itsjustme1574]

Fedra T. I have a friend who will use sign language to tell me what to do, and someone caught on, and now they sign worst things, so I blush more and stop talking. I already stutter, talk fast, quiet and turn red.

[@courtneyramirez8690]

pastel phan is my aesthetic Same. I had a 4-h presentation and you're supposed to be able to present in 6 minutes, no less. I read so fast my presentation was 3 minutes 😐 lets just say the next year I didnt even do a presentation and the teacher was mad

[@Isak-H]

WHY IS PHIL ME

[@k8ieg]

1 2 3 YEAH YEAH YEAH ಥ_ಥ |-/

[@unfortunatedisgrace246]

as someone who got diagnosed with social anxiety I can relate to Phil on such a deep level with this! wow!

[@mercy8601]

I used to get my friend to order everything for me because I was TERRIFIED of speaking to people

[@marzbarz7021]

ShippingIsPhun My friends just laugh and call me lazy for not doing it myself

[@fedrat.2118]

ShippingIsPhun yeah me too I get my brother to do it. I also do a girl scouts thing and I have to like call to tell people when they need to be there and if they need to bring something and its the worst fucking thing becaise I always try and get my ftiend to do it but she doesnt have time and I'm always so awkward and sometimes theres this woman who thinks I'm a boy and Im too awkward to correct her....

[@OupaviSealight]

I feel as if dan has just grown accustom to talking about his depression/anxiety stuff and Phil tends to just support others with his own understanding due to his own emotions. Like, branding aside or not, they are both human.

[@Bucherviews]

I love your work, but there's an extra one that wasn't in here! It's another cinema one where Dan was talking about booking some premium seats in the cinema for him and Phil and there were some people sat in their seats - Phil was like "no, we can't confront them, let's just sit somewhere else" but Dan went in there and got them to move (it's maybe from 'What Not To Do At The Cinema'?) Edit: Yes, it's from 'What Not To Do At The Cinema', I just checked. (:

[@oqua12]

Oh that's a really good example! Thanks! Maybe I'll upload it separately. I don't think I've ever made a compilation without accidentally leaving out a clip or two haha

[@mariaangelagalvez739]

I'm a combination of Dan and Phil in terms of being socially awkward. I kind of understand them this way: Phil can talk to anyone because he is friendly in general, but he can't handle "adult" situations. He is more on informal interaction (making people laugh, small talk, etc) then when he gets to adult situations, he panicks, overthinks, (like me lol) and gets anxious. Ex: answering the phone, when there is someone who bells the door, etc. While Dan here doesn't like "shallow" interactions that much. He prefers to talk to someone who he has seen for a couple of times and has had little social interaction. He isn't really that socially awkward because he picks at which situation does he want to use his energy on. Of course he can be chatty on any time it's just that he knows when some conversations aren't gonna take long because it's shallow. Though he wishes he could do a little better in those so as not to make things awkward. (like me again lol) this is a hard life for me living in this type of personality tbh. Hope i explained things well! (if someone bothers to read this long ass comment)

[@fade2blackness837]

I've noticed that Dan is socially awkward usually due to bad luck, and keeps quiet rather than talking back most of the time, but when he wants to, he'll completely take up confrontational mode while Phil is more socially awkward when it comes to confrontation and tends to feel responsible for social things that are even out of his control.

[@frogsrfriends]

i understand how phil feels i have horrible social anxiety to the point where i cant even talk on the phone with my family let alone a stranger and ordering food from a restaurant or room service is so scary i just cant

[@catokella9209]

Phil is a precious bean and he needs to be protected

[@livzara429]

I feel so relatable to Phil that it almost scares me

[@mercy8601]

"Pizza can be hot." gee thanks really

[@a_bear]

I can relate. Doorbell is the worst thing for me. I don't know what it is about it but when my doorbell rings, I start shaking and I feel like I need to hide (lol) and there is no way I'm gonna open thw door. If someone else opens it, I still shake after 10 minutes. I'm not sure if that's normal. Idk what to do

[@brookeagbai4453]

I am like that when my phone rings or any phone rings I hate talk on the phone to anyone unless I am really close to them. I hate going out to dinner with my family because I have to say my order so I make my mum say it for me.

[@a_bear]

Nico di Angelo Thank you for the advice. I never really thought about it being a phobia but now when you mentioned it, i think it is for sure. It hasn't been like this always tho. it started a couple of years ago. Nothing bad has happened to me with doorbells. Thanks again and I'm really considering talking to someone about it.

[@moanilsson3448]

a Bear I'm so happy you got help from a youtube comment 😊 I'm sure you will get over your phobia if you work with it. I used to be absolutely terrified of being home alone, going by bike and flying but now I can do all of those things without being scared at all. I believe you can get over it 👊🏼

[@imaloserr7352]

I relate to this on a spiritual level

[@rey2862]

Okay I feel him so much. My mom just tells me that I'm faking it and "stop acting like that" like sorry I'm so anxious around people ?

[@tealkerberus748]

appreciate me this is a while ago - are things better now?

[@septihowelter4439]

Omg I could relate to Phil so much

[@hatsunemiku7372]

CAN PHIL EXPRESS AN OPINION

[@esmevuti]

not that having social anxiety is a good thing, but i kind of love that i can relate so much to this. knowing that phil experiences this too, along with many others in the phandom makes me feel like maybe I'm not such a weirdo who should just suck it up and talk, and be "normal" like the rest of people.

[@ukiyo12117]

i relate to this so much... my phone had a problem like 6 months ago and now I don't get any phone calls or texts, unless it's through WhatsApp (i know this will probably get me killed in an emergency when I have no wifi), but I love it so much 'cause now I don't need to answer calls. i am also terrified of presentations in front of the class and I actually managed to dodge all the college classes I knew would have this kind of activity, just to think about the possibility of it makes me start shaking and breathing really fast and my heart races :/

[@kaci7129]

I hate it when people don't take social anxiety seriously. Don't laugh or make fun of them because they can't make a phone call or order their own food, help them out. They can't help it.

[@vrishas7499]

I have an immense fear of calling sticks

[@emilyhawthorne6786]

Everyone's being so nice and supportive but I just read the title as sexually anxious

[@Jazzlyn_]

Lmao I'm dying

[@neeenssss]

Hon *best friend

[@jaelyn8881]

Just cause they bff don't mean they lovers

[@sarahsun7468]

I'm scared of everything in the fricking world. People ringing the door and house phone, people handing me flyers and testers, ordering food, talking in front of class, talking to the guys in my class, asking question n answering them... Seriously, I don't even look people in the eyes when I'm talking to them...!!!

[@sope4723]

sarah sun THIS IS LITERALLY ME, I HATE IT

[@melonpie33]

It's kinda sad that Phil is more socially anxious than Dan, yet Dan is known for being socially anxious

[@veravollebregt8484]

I have to mentally prepare if I’m in a line to buy something or raise my hand in class

[@savannahjudd6491]

THE DOCTOR THING IS SO TRUE. Also I relate soooo much, when I get nervous or anxious I start tripping over words and my friend says I’m like a lost puppy when I get freaked out lol

[@theresat1776]

I'm really conflicted with whether hes an infp or enfp. He's always screamed enfp to me, so I don't know if this video really makes him an introvert. I think he enjoys being around people but is really awkward and sometimes clueless, and I relate to way too much as an enfp myself.

[@nanamoeldrup2823]

Theresa Tenn I'm personally a infp and I feel like Phil is the same. He seems like an introvert who like being with people and talking, but needs his personal space afterwards. Idk he just seems more like an introvert to me..

[@beephee7608]

Well im basically a mix of infp and enfp so maybe he is like me?

[@TheStrawberryMads]

Theresa Tenn i’m an enfp with infp tendencies, and i feel like phil’s the opposite (infp with enfp tendencies)

[@user-gc6xo1te2x]

I actually love how phil says "cinema"

[@azalymin]

I know how phil feels and it make me so sad, he deserve all the love in the world

[@meganshindelus7415]

aw this makes me realize how youtube is like the only place he's comfortable and not super anxious.

[@elizlyrics5080]

3:19 actually me omg

[@sarahschell4936]

I feel so bad for Phil, he's usually so quiet about these things and I feel he's really underrated. Does anyone else feel almost like sick when they have to present in class?

[@ellanova9974]

I never knew I needed this compilation until I watched this. Thank you for making it~

[@acesquare30]

I've suddenly realized every single one of these things is something I face on a daily basis..... including the doctor's thing too...

[@jade6052]

I can relate to Phil, once I was in lush with my best friend and we were shopping before and the worker is like "oh what did you get from pink?" And I replied with "yeah!".....

[@thephandmphamilywithalvefo3307]

lukie I do that when I can't hear people (that I don't know very well) and I've already asked them to repeat themselves and I don't want to ask again

[@castheangel9867]

Phil is so caring and sweet person

[@patricia1104]

I have social anxiety and it's horrible

[@s.quinery3389]

Aww Dan pretended to be Phil on the phone 😭 friendship goals

[@user-qv9me9gb7z]

I don't need notifications

[@jazzyspork8745]

I'm incredibly socialy awkward to the point were I cant even go outside at times because I start freaking out so i can relate to Phil

[@kosmicx]

i'm literally crying i relate to Phil so much

[@xx_midnight_xx7784]

poor phil 😔

[@lunamoonlight2479]

I know how Phil feels....... Funny/Awkward story down below: I once was at a cinema with one of my friends and all and accidentally smacked my friends popcorn out of her hand. I just felt bad, so I went back and bought some more popcorn! When I came back with the popcorn I said "Here's the cocporn" My friend, thinking dirty minded then started laughing so loud that almost everyone was turning their head in our direction. I, obviously embarrassed, turned red and was pretty much sinking into the floor. And that's the awkward story!

[@grilche6116]

Before I *really* got into dnp I used to think Phil was the one who was self deprecating & really had a special outlook on life. Now I know he’s more quiet & not as pretentious nor outspoken unless comfortable in any situation. Dan works well under pressure. He’s great at speaking when needed and is there for Phil without having to tell him anything because they just have a connection and such a well fitted friendship

[@bi-nonna4299]

I hate talking in class, talking on the phone, and answering the door so much, I get so nervous and I'd rather do anything else to avoid these situations

[@skytterd9491]

Omg I HATE making phone calls and I feel weird even if I'm texting someone. I relate to Phil so much in this video, wowza

[@thephandmphamilywithalvefo3307]

Panic! At The Twenty One Falling Phandom I love your name! 😊

[@anastaciyaknoll]

i have mild social anxiety and same

[@bookishbrooke110]

I respect this because no one thinks I have anxiety because I seem outgoing like phill as well and it’s really nice to see this

[@ambercat993]

This is me 100% of the time, especially with the talking on the phone. Like I can't even order food when I'm eating out. I have whoever I'm with order for me while I pretend to be drinking the entire time.

[@jessica-mh3os]

I didn't want to ask my teacher how to spell something because I'm pretty socially awkward so I used my phone and she caught me and confiscated it. I cringe to this day.

[@mollybryant6777]

I relate to *all* of these

[@exiledsonofhawaii3934]

I am getting a call from my teacher at a certain time tomorrow and I felt really bad but then I saw this video and realized that Phil literally shakes whenever he has to do something like that. I don't feel so bad anymore. Poor Phil, I wish I could help him when he says he gets nervous while answering the phone.

[@lilacsandviolets6919]

I think I might have social anxiety.. I’m always terrified to put my hand up in class in case I get laughed at and I always blush over everything because I feel like whatever I do everybody’s staring. I hate calling people other than my dad and it’s soften so bad that I can’t hear much anymore because I’m so terrified. It doesn’t help that this girl in my class refuses to talk to me and I sit next to her. Whenever she wants to ask me something she gets another girl to do it for her. I feel like I’ve done something wrong/I’m being punished so this is why I’m like this..

[@lolarose5857]

I'm just like this, then I ask my friend to help me and I keep thinking she doesn't like me and I'm treating her like a slave but that's not my intention ahhhh

[@seekercosfur]

so hes a deer always about to get ran over o.o but looks cute and terrefied? okay phil maybe need to overlook that XD we dont want you to be social interaction roadkilled by the end of 2017

[@ellasmyth7531]

this is so comforting

[@paranoid_virgo1738]

Dan has that wonderful super power where whenever his friends are socially anxious and can’t do stuff he is magically able to do the thing no matter how anxious he himself is

[@femaleexit6050]

Oh the feelss!!! Same thing with me. One time, in class, a teacher picked me to answer a question in science. I was terrified and she was getting angry. I didn't say anything. Then I started bawling my eyes out. She shouted at me *"I don't want you in my class if you're not going to contribute with anything! Get a grip!!"* She knew I had anxiety and stuff like that. A few minutes later she went *"get out of my classroom! I don't want you in here like that. Go on. sort yourself out!"* And she literally always picked me to answer a question to ruin my bloody day. Luckily, she's quit! Yay. I also struggle with a lot more things but naaah I can't be bothered to write anymore

[@pancakeguts5240]

Oh damn I hope this never happens to me. If it does then I’d get worse and be nervous around people with the same combination of sex, race, hair color, and eye color of the yelling person

[@svidemic]

this is what i signed up for

[@ally-cat371]

I think part of the reason Dan and Phil are best friends is because Dan helps Phil with his social anxiety

[@Oleeh-oleeh]

Phil is so precious omg

[@hannahvmh]

Phil is me

[@lauraway9400]

i feel bad for phil :/ my poor baby

[@hourtohour1989]

This is just art

[@aaliya4670]

My anxiety has gotten to the point where I Barley go out anymore

[@catygrey838]

Phil is so cute 💕🌸 you're so lucky Dan ;)

[@Kayla-fc2gz]

A lady asked what school i went to and I said 8th grade

[@haylee7951]

Phil is so precious. I can't. I love him so much.

[@fellowhuffelpuffphandommem9522]

I get so terrified of social interaction that I never leave the house without someone, so when I have to talk to someone (ordering food or talking to an employee of a shop. Asking for directions, something like that.) they can do it for me and I can hide in the corner. Now it’s the summer holidays, I haven’t left the house in 3 weeks and I plan to keep it that way. I’m so socially awkward to the point where I’m not even comfortable around my own family. I just hate it when people talk to me. I get really terrified and sometimes frustrated or mad.
