Social anxiety is the pervasive intense fear of being judged, humiliated, rejected, or embarrassed in a social setting that leads to anxiety or avoidance. What to learn more about the difference between shyness vs social anxiety? Watch along.

Social anxiety disorder usually comes on at around 13 years of age. It can be linked to a history of abuse, bullying, or teasing. Shy kids are also more likely to become socially anxious adults, as are children with overbearing or controlling parents.👍

I had social anxiety for 15 years of my life. It got to the point where I had no friends. I never left my house and I would throw up when I felt too anxious, which was often. But today, I see the other side and there is a way to overcome it! Nothing I tried was helping me until I looked for my own answers. I created a RU-vid channel to share my story, hoping it could help you too. Please watch, I know how bad it feels and I wanna help, you are not alone💞

@pawtaytoe6247 3 года назад

This is absolutely relatable. I'm the only introvert (and socially anxious) in our family and my mom never tells me anything if they plan on going outside, they just drag me with them knowing I hate it. I always cry and most of the times I have difficulty breathing every time I'm in a crowd. I think I can handle it, I just need like a very long time to prepare myself that's why I really hate it if someone tells me (especially my family), "you're a killjoy" or "don't be like that, all you do is stay inside the house" I told them about this but I'm always misunderstood, it's distressing.

It’s so much harder to deal with when you are a kid or teenager. You can’t get diagnosed professionally because your parents thing you are overreacting or as mine put, “just need to pray to god more”.

@@inspxre_amiyah that is what I really hate about them. They always connect it with God. Every miserable thing that happens to us they blame us telling we should pray more and heck, I don't have the money to see a professional.

@jacobmiller6341 3 года назад

I'm a 33 year old man. I've had horrible bouts with social anxiety for a few periods of my life. It started around age 20 in college.....It would get so bad at times, it'd be extremely difficult for me to even do simple things like go to the grocery store....The thing that has helped me the most, by far, is exercise. Specifically running outdoors. When I run in the fresh air/sunshine on a routine basis, my social anxiety pretty much goes away completely.....I know it's tough, and maybe it's embarrassing for some people, but I promise running outdoors is like a magic pill for social anxiety. It saved my life, without a doubt

@marioskapetanakis 3 года назад

@@sophiescribbles8504 I think that if we are sad we should keep everything inside and not tell anything. Me for example don't say a single word to my parents about what I feel beacause I fear their reactions. I have this fear from one time when things didn't went well. My sister had to go to the hospital to get some treatment. My grandparents came there for emotional support. We got it over way sooner than expected. And left the hospital. But I wanted to go to stay at my grandparents house. My parents did not. So they let my brother instead. Fast forward a week. I go to my grandparents house but my brother was a buzz kill and came with me. Then I did the mistake to talk in front of him. He was only 5 at this time so he broke down in tears. My dad came to take him home (served him right) my dad said to me :we will talk tomorrow. So I said to myself :never talk again in front of family members. And I feel fine doing it

I am so thankful for all your videos because I always learn something from them. I was extremely shy throughout my childhood and stuttered. As an adult I literally stuttered uncontrollably in public situations like at job-related meetings, therefore, I avoided providing any input. As a result I missed promotions though I was a wiz at number calculations and in computer work. Now I am retired and don’t have a single friend. I fear that due to the pandemic if it stays as an endemic, there will be many more people suffering from social anxiety. My trouble stemmed from not being allowed to voice my opinions about anything at home by my parents nor by any of my elder siblings. They made me feel devalued and invisible. I was the last born, born much later.

@munkeefinkelbeen5395 3 года назад

I can't say I've been diagnosed with social anxiety (never bothered getting analyzed for any potential mental health disorders), but I've definitely shown symptoms. What helped me most (I still struggle sometimes) is hard wiring into my mind to not take anyone's criticisms to heart, and letting myself feel worthy of the spotlight when I feel like everyone's looking at me. I don't really take myself too seriously, so most of what I do in public is for laughs anyway. That's what works for me, but I know it won't help everyone. Best of luck, and thanks for the video, Psych2Go! :)

@annah6778 3 года назад

When I was younger, maybe twelve or thirteen, we were fling a musical showcase for school, and I was going to sing a song with a few other kids. I was nervous, as I’d always been shy anyways, but I was determined to push through. My part in the song came, I opened my mouth, and nothing. I just stood there frozen, my mind completely blank as the entire school watched. And then there was laughter. It seemed to last forever until I remembered that I had legs and ran off stage. That’s where my social anxiety began. I can’t even talk to those people anymore, since I’m sure they will still hate me (they probably don’t, but my anxiety won let me get near them). And I promised myself that I would never put myself in a situation where I have to DO anything again with anyone, feeling so guilty for ruining everything and am constantly berating myself for it, and every bad thing I’ve done since.

I've had family members say I'm shy, every time I feel like saying and do say "It's anxiety!!". I watched this to see if this is the case, I'm still unsure though I do remember struggling with new settings for fear of embarrassment, humiliation, etc. the first day of school after homeschooling is an example of this, I still had anxiety going to school though the first day was the worst. Any social event I went to, I always have anxiety. I refuse to say I'm shy because I really don't think I am. I am an introvert and a little bit of an extrovert, I prefer to keep to myself. I've noticed that talking to people I trust about what I've said and done has helped me improve socially, and not panic so much about the other person. Also discovering who I am and embracing that has really helped as well. I hope this all made sense, there was some emotion put into this because I really don't like being identified as shy when I'm not.

I just recently started posting comments on yt videos. I used to be this anxious that I couldn't even write a comment, fearing the judgment of unknown people through a screen whom I will never ever meet in real life. But it's getting better.

I have this best friend, and i know she wouldn’t judge me, so I’m confident around her, but with everyone else I don’t talk at all, and in public places it’s so scary, and sometimes I sweat or my heart beats so fast. I overthink so much, I can’t even explain how much I overthink. I feel like people will judge me in their heads that I don’t speak, unlike everyone else. I can’t even work in a group, and school is so hard for me.

I hate going out by myself. I have to be with someone I know or be in familiar surroundings in order to feel comfortable in public

For a few years now I’ve always thought I had social anxiety and I just told my mom about it and how I want a therapist to diagnose me. I felt ridiculous saying it out loud and I’m now in my room crying because I’m afraid I’m being overdramatic.

I remind myself it's a myers briggs thing, anxious avoidant matters to just being allowed to 'be' ... In letting go of pieces of panic it's the first April in eight to nine years away from sedatives. Managing anxiety sometimes does marinating or ruminating on things. Panic is such a task driving overthinker. To even nervous system changes, the body will recover from and manage anxiety better. Apprehensive, anxious avoidant loved ones need support, treat them like normal pple, just love them.🙋🍉🥦🥝💐🧠🌈🕯️🍵☕

I can relate, my mom is currently talking me to therapy because she thinks there's something wrong with me since I have most of these and that's where I got diagnosed with social anxiety. the only place I'll ever feel comfortable in is the internet since I feel that no one can judge me and if they it's easier to ignore them rather than in real life. but I have no one around me that helps since most of them thinks it's normal and the therapy will help me but just the thought of going to therapy made my anxiety a billion times worse cause they expect me to tell everything to someone I never met and I can't even tell my own mom what I'm feeling, and I have a really hard time expressing my emotions which also sucks

social anxiety is when u shut your mouth up and sometimes close your eyes too when you are right infront of your class and teacher to speak a simple poem written on the textbook

I do have these symptoms but only for some circumstances so I'm not diagnosable with social anxiety. If anyone in this same situation is reading this: you're valid and you'll get through it, I believe in you

@cgonz14 3 года назад

This really explains so much. For the longest time a lot of people thought I was shy, I did as well, until years later when I got an official diagnosis that I was not shy, but very socially anxious. I'm always thinking about conversations in Middle School and High School that I feel I made a fool of myself and think of better responses despite the conversation ending a long time ago. I want to stop thinking about those things but I can't unfortunately 😔 Great video as always Psych2Go!

i'm really not sure if i'm just shy or have social anxiety, because this video makes me feel like what i experience is worse than shyness, but also not as bad as social anxiety?

@aoi7104 Год назад

There was a big question in my head. I knew im not shy at the same time i didn't so afraid of social events thou i coud'nt get connect to others. Like i didn't have anything to tell and couldn't hold a conversation as well. that it lead me to avoid social places. then I figured out it's low social skills and like i read somewhere i didn't give my mind enough time to learn interaction with others. So here's what i did. I just participate in easy social events and simply i just fucosed on how other people talk. And after times i got better and better. Also i began to learn and use body language which is really helpful and important. But to be true I don't care about socializing yet but anyway i know I'll need it at least in future. (Hope you find your way too. Keep going

@ABANDONED23456 3 года назад

I've always known I have anxiety, and I finally got it diagnosed last year. Anxiety absolutely sucks, and for my severity, it can cause panic attacks because of public embarrassment. When that happens, Ive found the best way to battle that is to step away from all people and take deep breaths, splash water on my face, and try to listen to calming music or nature sounds if that helps. That's probably the best option when you're having a _very_ bad panic attack.

Honestly the pandemic gave me social anxiety because I had so little social interaction that I forgot how to talk to people and now I'm scared too incase I say something dumb

@shivamkumarchoudhary12 3 года назад

The best way to overcome social anxiety is to feel happy always but if your mind is not feeling happy then always tell in your brain, I've to be always happy, I've to be always happy, I've to be always happy, keep reminding this sentence in your head it`ll help you 100% if this doesn`t help you then you can scold me in the reply section, the main point of using this sentence is to feel happy, if you feel happy you don`t create brain made little little things which arise because of social anxiety now naturally you`ll ask me a question, doesn`t remind this sentence again and again will turn my brain into the dustbin, my answer is big no because you have to use this sentence until your social anxiety disappear if your social anxiety once goes away, feeling happy outside your house or comfort zone will come completely natural, so you don`t have to use this sentence for further of your life.

@strawberrymushie7438 3 года назад

I find it extremely difficult to open up (?) to people, as soon as the day ends its like a reset, I need to work hard again the next day to be able to talk to people and hopefully spend time with someone. Weekends are even worse, it feels like as soon as Monday comes it doesn't matter if I had a good week socially the week before, lots of nerves get inside me and people around me don't approach me so I have to try really hard to try get out my shell again. Haven't been able to make any friends becuase of this T^T I can talk to people but I get so much nerves talking and trying to hang out with other people to the point I'm constantly sweating and feeling tired. I wish it wasn't just me having to put all the effort in... aa sorry for the rant! I should get a therapist haha🌸

I've related to most of these all my life, but they all became extremely amplified after my divorce 3 years ago. No amount of antidepressants and counseling has helped so far.

@alilexa7879 3 года назад

At my cousin's wedding, I was supposed to sing. I was nervous at first and just brushed it off. But then when the day came, I was having a hard time breathing, sweating, nervous, shaking and even felt like crying. I beg my mother to cancel it, I was in tears before she agreed. After that I was crying and the other symptoms that I felt was still there. Then my grandma ask why I didn't sing, I felt the disappointment that they had in me. They compared me to my younger cousin that also sang with confidence. I was so confused. I felt terrible. Now, I just feel that they are judging me for everything that I do. When I said to my mom that I may be have a social anxiety and I should consult to a therapist so I can help myself, she said that I was just shy and just ignore it. Now, in march my aunt is gonna get married, and she said I will sing in her wedding. Just great 😐 now I'm scared ahhhhhh

@bakugokatsuki991 3 года назад

I can talk to people if I'm supposed to, smile at them and try to act fine, but I stress over stuff that I did and that I said after I'm finally home and "relaxing" I usually have to distract myself from thinking so I do stuff until I finally fall asleep (with an inconsistent sleep schedule so 1 and 7 just there...). I've also had panic attacks that were unnoticeable to others because I kept them mostly internal (other then being quieter and breathing a bit heavier). I also avoid going outside much unless I'm only with say my family (mother or father only) but even then only to get food from a drive through or to drive and where I don't have to talk to anyone other then family. I've said that I have social anxiety before even if I haven't gotten it "professionally diagnosed" because I don't think I could classify my actions and feelings with "shyness"

@sarahkilani8996 3 года назад

my family forces me to talk to my relatives every year and after i finish they start laughing and making fun of how i was talking and why i didnt talk much and how i was being too "shy" so now i try my best to avoid talking to people by going into the bathroom or locking the door and pretending that im changing

@ceciliamesina6259 2 года назад

Didnt even know I had this. Cant believe Im just a 4th grader having this. How can I tell this to my mom. My brither will just say Im an emo. It all started om the first day of school. My best friend, Caitlyn, wasnt there so I decided to read. A few days later she came back so we played with eachother and ate lunch together. But then her other friend, Harshita introduced us to Risa. Caitlyn and Risa quickly became close, like best friends. I was jealous, but I knew I was being dramatic. I mostly read since I was to shy to even speak or play with em. Whenever they ask me to play I accept. but my legs start to tremble with so much people. I dont talk to them since I feel like Id interrupt them,so I sit im the bench until they forget about me. Im actually close friends with someone in their group, her name is Pauline. We mostly talk during the morning but we did our own things after. When my mom told me Im not okay if Im isolating myself, It hurts but she wzs right.

@Yk-qe8dz Год назад

Well, 2-5-7 hit really on the spot for me, it seems Being self-conscious happens whenever I have to speak my mind to someone and/or to a group as my brain and my words just go in a completely different way as I just overthink everything what could happen and what I want to avoid for being understood. Searching my word in the process :( Anticipating works pretty much the same way, but with the feeling of an instant "shock" added to it, that makes me nervous the moment I know that I will have or need to speak. Heart beating in my ear, feeling "weak" in my limbs, and when the spotlight is on me for real, it's back to being self-conscions and overthinking it. Even if everything of my speech, down to the last bit, was clear, fluid, and totally fine in my head. After that, it's the welcome of the "aftermath overthinking" where I smooth everything that happened with countless scenarios of what would have been ideal to get over it eventually. But, man, this is a pain to deal with on the spot, especially when you think that what you want to bring to the table could be valuable to someone or a group...

When you have all these and the comments are relatable but you've never had a panic attack or anything like one so you just decide you're shy

@alexissalazar3128 Год назад

Well this is how I feel with social anxiety so even time I walk by I feel like I’m getting judge like what if I look dumb with the clothes that I’m wearing or does my hair look weird and most of the time I feel like people in my school are saying why do I look like that? It is darker weird or something and I have friends but I feel like they’re fake because I can see that they have more fun with other people then me I don’t know I mean I’m happy that they’re having fun but it hurts and also every time i walk to school or go home I feel like I’m being Watch or something I don’t know but that what I feel and there this one time I want to participate so I put my hand up but then I felt self-conscious or something and I didn’t know why I felt like that I mean no one was forcing me.
