Social Anxiety #2: School
by Tony on Sunday, April 10th, 2011 | 43 Comments
My life story! I talk about going to school with social phobia and how the social anxiety stopped me from making new friends. I also mention my fear of the cafeteria and the embarrassment of eating alone.

Agoraphobia is a fear of being in any place or situation where it would be difficult to escape or get help if needed. Learn more: mental.healthguru.com
Hi, i had been diagnosed with social anxiety too and i managed take control of it…So speaking of experience i will try and help you…
1. Dont take meds…it acts as a depressant, its also the same as drinking alchool to numb the anxiouse feeling…you have to go natural with this…
2. No mater what anybody says, youcan get over it, the prblem is that a very big part of your recovery can only be aquired by exposer….and this is the hard part…simple, but not esy…
I seen something like this once before but cant remember where, thats right, in my dreams LOL no but seriously great video.
@Youngroe1 → You are right on so many levels.
atleast u look god dude, people with ur problem who are ugly have it ten times worse because they are exetremely self conciouss
i’m going through the same exact thing right now. i have a low self esteem, i’m so quiet and shy. can’t stand for guys to even look at me because i get too excited about it. but i keep telling myself that i’ll eventually change and break out of my “shell”. people tell me that i’m such a pretty girl and i just need to loosen up. i picture myself doing it but can’t get myself to actually be social enough. its like i’m blocking myself. it is difficult.

i love his voice reminds me of harry potter and he looks kind of like Robert Pattinson (:
dude I can totally relate to eating at lunch alone. I remember it perfectly. got my food, looked around the caf, no one I was friends with so I had to sit at a table by myself. I felt like a fucking loser.
@SAIDYOMAMA Stay away from meds. I’ve heard many times meds can make the situation worst and not to mention side affects.
hey thanx alot for coming out with this video
im 16 and i feel the same way
its like i started out very socialable and now im slowing starting to feel more and more alone
if u ever want to talk or something jsut message me or something
it would feel good to have a friend that feels the same as i do
Hey! some advice please do you blush when in social situations i do? :/
@BulletProofMonkeon You seem like a fairly smooth talker dude. You got it in ya.
Anyone know good meds I can take for social anxiety disorder? I am desperate at this point to try anything for it to go away.
I am so angry on the fact what have happened to me .I used to be quite confident and not so anxious. I started to smoke weed even though I have heard that it makes your anxiety worse but for somebody it is helpful,Now I am so fearful,anxious and ashamed of quite everything.IS SOMEBODY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM?
@TheScreamingRetard I think it is because your anxiety is mild.
I HATE LUNCH TIME, I CANT EAT BC OF MY ANXIETY, ANS PPL STAREING HOW U EAT
God, you’re gorgeous!
I know what u mean.. break and lunch were meant to be the best parts of school. And when my friends were off school seeing people hanging out in groups when i’m just alone walking by myself isn’t cool :/ I’m just finishing school and thank god!
@BulletProofMonkeon nice response man lol
it good you finally found out what you were suffering from,,, it’s a great burden!
Hi Mark….I understand 100% where you’re coming from with the one school friend and when he was off sick. I used to dread those days with a worry that I don’t think I’ve felt since. The feeling of paranoia at break times was unbelieveable, knowing that everyone could SEE how alone you were and the comments and attacks you got. Whoever said that kids do not endure stress…is a liar…I personally feel that for many people, childhood is a more stressful time than their later working life.
first. So I fully understand how you felt when you were in school, I felt the same way. And I think it’s really good that people can have the confidence to come on to youtube and speak about their problems – it helps the others who aren’t as confident.
I used to worry so much about having friends and I still do some times. Now i’m in college and I still have the friends I had in high school (I never had any friends before then) and they just seem to be evaporating slowly, drifting away. One of them has left for another college so now there’s just three of us. And i worry some times if I’ll ever make new friends because I remember how i made those friends – they came to me, I probably never would have been friends with them if the hadnt spoken
haha can i just say..you’re really handsome
I only ever had one friend at school too, I know exactly how that feels. Sucks!
watch?v=4V6y0kMjr04 end you anxiety in 6-12 weeks. youre welcome
the title should be agoraphobia , I guess you could have both but they never mention anything about feeling uncomfortable around people in this video? I think avoidant personality disorder would fit better for severe social anxiety! thumbs up if you agree!
Wow lmao that sucks
wow that sucks
@HowToChangeTheWorld ohh hahaha i didn’t even notice because i made that video a few years ago and the connection didn’t register in my head. lol no i like you, you’re trying to change the world through making witting comments
@geico1212 I seen your comment and then the ASL video ‘set your friends on fire’ on your channel, so I thought I’d make a witty comment to try and make you smile. If you hate people, does that include me?
@HowToChangeTheWorld no.. i avoid people if they try to approach me.
gahh i hate people.
@geico1212 That’s because you set them all on fire..lol
hm. i had this symptoms and i was diagnosed with “generalised anxiety disorder”. but now THIS sounds much more familiar to me and my symptoms! thanks
im agorophobic.
i have no friends
Hey you guys you should really watch “Welcome to the N-H-K”. It’s a good anime show, it about social Anxiety.
@barngirlXx3 true.
that’s not the same thing as social anxiety you ass.
I have agoraphobia and have since I was little…
also i recommend adderall for people who have this, along with social anxiety and avoidant personality… I have all 3 but I can be a social when im twacking on some good old amphetamines
makes me confident and reduces the constant negative thoughts that cause the anxiety
incorrect title… I have severe social anxiety but I’m only afraid of being in class
1st
I adore you stories and i hope it is possible to maintain them coming. Honestly it is challenging to locate an fascinating blog nowadays.
