You are the hero that we all needed. It's crazy to see that this information isn't talked about enough and how deep it can get. Keep up the good work!

Wow, great video I'm going to check out your ebook. Considered doing a video of your top 10 to 20 books on psychology and social anxiety. You nailed it with an overly critical dad who was hidden Lee competing with us and sabotaging what we were trying to do .

[@johnCjr4671]

Great points , once you have been disappointed by people over decades it only makes sense to isolate, Especially if you are on the introverted side of the spectrum . Right ?

[@rawfoodphilosophy7061]

Just keep your eyes open for that small percentage of people who are still kind .....but I'm with you regarding staying mostly isolated.

That is a very insightful video ive got to say. But one thing I wonder is that in my case at 30 and still struggling with social anxiety I am dealing with the same issues as I was as a child. Looking at my siblings the ones who were socially confident when children are still to this day while the ones who were shy are still dealing with that as adults. And the same pattern presents looking at people I know from growing up. So is this maybe inherint in our personalities as I don't see people change that over time and maybe its fixed in genes?

[@EdTheAnxietyCoach]

@@dwaters7174 The question I would ask is: How much work have those people done on themselves? I don’t deny the role genetics can play. But more often than not, I see people looking to use the “genetic card” as a self-defeatist excuse for copping out before even starting the work. Or as a way of getting themselves off the hook.

[@dwaters7174]

I think its difficult as naturally confident people don't have that work to do as they're probably guided instinctually. Whereas shy to anxious types always have all this work to do to change themselves so they can operate in this world. I know that is a woe is me way of looking at it so probably healthier to view it as we're not all born on the same level. However I can't say I have seen someone changing from the anxious group to the other one especially so if that is a family dynamic so it can make it hard for me to believe we're not just banging our head against a wall what do you think?

[@EdTheAnxietyCoach]

@@dwaters7174 I think you should commit to radical personal change if that's what you want. Otherwise just accept the life you have keep doing what you're doing. What other options are there?

[@johnCjr4671]

I just can’t handle the overly polite mundane small talk that is common in todays culture. Grew up in the 60’s and 70’s America when people were brought up to be individuals and to express themselves freely weather it was popular or not ? Also agree with the link of lack of self esteem with the single parent households that are way to common these days ! 😢

[@EdTheAnxietyCoach]

Don't buy into it. You can set a new standard of more authentic conversation. I take your point though. I always looked up to my dad's generation in the 60s, dropping acid and listening to Hendrix. Today's kids have...cat videos on Tik Tok.

[@EdTheAnxietyCoach]

I think single parent families are also creating a lot of young men raised by women, who don't feel they know what it means to be a man and / or are uncomfortable and anxious relating to other to men. Hence lots of social anxiety in male-male relationships and the rise of Andrew Tate. That's what I'm hearing from younger clients anyway and can relate to in my own experience.
