Coping With Social Anxiety in the Entertainment Industry 

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Romee for the inspiring interview.this was one of the most special guests I've had so far

Nothing makes me happier than seeing you flick your hair so naturally, and checking yourself out. That wig was MADE for you girl. Thank you for talking about the private thoughts of social anxiety that nobody ever talks about. You said yes, and we’re so proud of you.

You never cease to amaze me. You push boundaries that most people wouldn’t. You are so brave and bold and brilliant. I am surprised you have social anxiety. I’m not glad you do but it makes someone like me feel more normal knowing someone like you, who seems so very social and has so many friends, has anxiety like myself. I watch ALL of your videos. I’m not one to comment but you are inspiring me. It’s 5:20am where I live in New York. I’m lying here with my mind going in a million directions. Watching you is such a light in my life. I want to say Thank you Romee for being you. You are amazing ‼️♥️‼️

Sweetie I'm so proud of you, I'm a grandmother of 14 grandchildren and I would love for them to go through life with your outlook, so with that said my dear friend, keep up the good work and I know God is right there with you.

Never seen you look prettier and healthier--especially when you had on that cute hat at the end. ADORABLE!!!

'Feel the fear and do it anyway.' I think that's a quote from somewhere, and you certainly did that, Romee! Well done! Social anxiety is pants 👖 I'm glad you overcame those obstacles that seem tiny, but they're such a big deal when you're suffering. Well done 👏

When I was socially awkward in front of a friend once, I asked him if he noticed and he said “I think it’s interesting that you think I’m thinking of anything other than myself at any given time!” 😅 That helps me keep things in perspective 😂

Hallo! I am French and I can tell you pronunce Liège exactly the way you should!! I love each of your video!!! Netherlands and Belgium are two beautiful countries, and people (like you) are very very nice there!! You are so inspiring, so strong and beautiful (with or without wigs), you are the best Romee 😘😘😘

Romee, you have to be the most delightful young woman to vlog your experiences for us! I look forward to each one as you post it! Thanks for just being you.....a breath of fresh air!

I love you, Romee! You say you have social anxiety But yet I am In New Jersey USA, (50-ish cancered woman) I am watching your videos. You are doing fine with your social anxiety. You are going to a lot, you are fantastic. I am proud of you. Romee!

Interviews are REALLY scary, regardless of what they're for. So I'm really proud of you, because I have such anxiety during interviews for school/work that I physically start shaking and brain-blanking, so seriously, amazing job. ALSO - my Dutch bf loves old cheeses, his dad loves blue French cheeses, and I can only handle the young cheeses (they're trying to indoctrinate me, first with olives, then with stroopwafels, now with cheeses but I don't think I can handle it). What's your favorite kind of cheese?

Good for you!! When I push myself I can usually get through it fine but the next day is always full of anxiety or I sleep all day.

If you have the ability to physically say yes and do things even if you’re nervous or scared, the relief that you will likely feel after doing so is such a release of motivation and self gratitude.

So happy you said yes to be interviewed. Look at all the other things you got to do. It's nice seeing you smile. Looking forward to seeing your next post. Take care❤

Congratulations on addressing your social anxiety! And thanks for sharing some scenes from Liege. I only visited Liege at night during a crazy football match where a riot broke out and the police and dogs were everywhere! So now I have some pretty images to replace the scary ones.

You did well❣️ I feel the same way you do. It is embarrassing for me to order lobster or crab legs. No one is really watching me , but I feel self conscious. I feel like I am making a big mess and people are saying to themselves,” oh look at that woman. She is making such a big mess.” I get social anxiety still. I had a job where I had to talk to a lot of people everyday. I haven’t had that job in 5years and I think I am reverting back to my old self and back to having social anxiety. Congratulations on your interview! You did really well!

Congratulations on your interview! I live in the states and an hour drive is too much for me, let alone two, lol. I don’t know how people do it.

Looks like you had an amazing time! It’s great to see what opportunities open up when you just say “Yes” 🥰

Your pronounciation of "Liège" was perfect! I thouht for a second you were maybe trilingual bc of that! 😂 I am french Canadian (from Québec) and let me tell you, you peonounced it even better than some people I personally know. 😂❤

So happy you are living life to the fullest. Especially outside your comfort zone. Such an amazing woman.

Hi Romee, i am so proud of you! Facing your anxiety and pushing forward is a huge step. Someone who hasn’t experienced this type of anxiety probably doesn’t realize just how difficult it is. You did it. Moving forward. Stay strong, stay safe and have lots of fun. Sending big hugs.❤️

Oh Romee I too have social anxiety 🙃! We are all there with you!

I love watching you Romee. You are such a positive person. I am a senior citizen but still enjoy your videos. Have a great week. Love that wig!

You are glowing Romee! I also have social anxiety and watching you today has given me strength and inspiration to try harder to overcome it. You are most amazing 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

Thats awesome what the radio show does! So glad u were able to be on there and cant wait to see if u do record at one of their events! That room is beautiful oh my goodness!!

Congratulations on your interview and all the positive attention, which you deserve. I also really enjoyed getting to listen to you speak in your own language. I've been watching since the travel vlogs and as your interviewer said, I admire and respect you.

You are inspiring getting out there in spite of your feelings. Glad the interview was a positive experience. The food looked amazing. I have never had lobster.

You don’t give yourself enough credit, you are amazing on your videos. Thank you for letting us see the countryside where you live. Blessings to you always from America 🇺🇸🙏

Firstly let me say how amazing the new hair looks. Secondly look at you girl stomping your way through all those anxieties, you should be so proud of yourself. Thirdly, that hotel was awesome and your meal looked scrumptious. Brill start to the first month of the year. 👌🧡💚👌

My first job out of college was as a forensic chemist and I had to testify in various criminal cases 3 to 9 x a month, in courts as far away as a 2 hour drive. For the first two years my anxiety was so bad that by the time I reached the courthouse I would immediately go to the ladies room to be sick.

Well done, Romee! It’s so much fun to go on your adventures with you while sitting on my sofa in Tennessee!

I really understand your anxiety! When I was young like you, I was afraid to call room service, was unsure of eating at a fancy restaurant, and was scared to try new things. You know what? I still struggle but do like you and go right ahead. I am so glad that you know yourself and know that it is better to go ahead even when we are unsure because of all that we would miss out on if we stay in our bubble. You got this.

Well this was a great video. I loved how you took us along on the drive so we could see your beautiful country. Loved seeing the hotel, the food. Really so much fun. And I never tire of hearing you speak Dutch(?) because it never fails to amaze me how perfect your English is. Thanks for this Romee.

I think you are blessed and convey that to all of us. Your strength says it all.

So proud of you for sharing your journey with social anxiety. It really helps to hear your story. Lots of love x

Congratulations Romee on pushing your self to do the things that give you social anxiety. That is never easy and is for sure something to be proud of. As usual I loved this video. You make me smile. I love coming along on your adventures. Take care and have a great day. I look forward to the next video. Love your hair by the way but iam a fan of your own hair to so cute. Peace and love from Kris in Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ 🙏

I'm just so glad to see you getting out and doing things and have a peaceful weekend

What a great video! Good job stepping out if your comfort zone.

You r a love!!!! Glad u r doing therapy! You’ve been through so much. You deserve time focused on all you’ve been through.

Congratulations to your first radio 📻 interview 🎙🎚👍👩🏽! I hope you feel better ☺💛!

Thank you again Romee for showing us all ......you can take control and succeed xxxx 💪💪💪💪❤️ it's the little things that make the biggest impact just love you!!!! X

Great to see that gorgeous joyful smile!💕

Wow Europe is so beautiful to see you drive through! 😍 I'm waiting until I'm NEC and then I'm booking the very next flight there!

Great to see that you are having the best time! Sure was nice watching your video of your travels and wonderful experiences. Keep blossoming!

Congratulations Romee hope you have an awesome interview 😎, and you have motivated me to also focus on my mental health this 2022 ❤️

Hi Romee. 'Thanks again for a wonderful video. You're looking great. I too have anxiety, but I just make myself do things that are uncomfortable. Congratulations on the interview. You are becoming more and more the girl you were before the health issues, and thats wonderful to see. I also saw someone special with you, and glad to see him back in your life. Its almost always much more fun to have someone with you to enjoy special moments with. Hope you have a great weekend.

Never knew you had anxiety problems, l have only been watching your post for maybe six months, you always seemed so sure of yourself. You are funny and interesting to watch. Will we get to hear the radio interview?

I have some online friends who live Liege! My husband got to meet them when he was working in Germany! Loved this video and I want you to know you are MUCH braver than me in going places by myself! I, too, hate to eat in front of people when I'm by myself.

You are a very inspirational young lady , Your always in my prayers x

Your native language is so beautiful, love hearing you speak it ❤

Nice to see you Romee. Glad you had such a nice time in Belgie. See you, take care

Romee you did just great at the interview and it sounds exciting the things you are getting involved with so well done you.we all have our own anxieties but i think its how we deal with them makes a difference to our cinfidence.the hotel room was lovley i love Belgium had some very happy times there.take care sweet girl .love from England.

Good for you for taking so many bold steps in one week! Brava!

Romee, it's so inspiring to see you get out of your comfort zone like you did in this video; I hope you're as proud of yourself as all of us watching are proud of you!! I know people can say don't be afraid in social situations, but social anxiety is something that has to be worked through, and you're starting to do just that. Plus, the online therapy is an excellent solution to talk things out when you feel the need. I'm happy to hear that the interview went well!!! You looked radiant! I love vicariously traveling along with you on your adventures. I'm in the U.S. and have never been to The Netherlands, or Belgium, so it's delightful looking at the cities through your eyes.

Glad you had fun Romee :) ❤️you deserve it !

Beautiful soul. Keep trying new things, the regret is always worse than not trying ♥️

You looked amazing. It was lovely that you were enjoying yourself. Loved the hotel xx

I love how much your eyes are sparkling! You seem so happy, which makes me so happy. Oh, and the way you're talking, I feel like you're my friend by now (which sounds way creepier than it was intended), because you get so personal and real. So it makes me so happy to see you happy!

I love how happy you are! Hopefully it has something to do with your secret companion.💖 You deserve only the best life Romee! ✨

Brave girl! That DJ is really cute! I'm glad you had such a nice time.

Very happy for your interview. You deserve it. Much love

Romee, your video was so inspiring. You were great.

Looks like you had a blast! Good for you for all you did! Love you!

Romee! Say yes to life in as many ways that you can. Enjoy.

Congratulations on the interview! I really like your videos, you seemed like very nice and genuine Person 😊 and Liege is one of my favourite city :D Greatings from Poland ❤️

First I'm so glad for dealing with your social anxiety! Never worrie about what others think! Love your life for you! After all you nd been through you deserve it! I'm 53 and there is so much I've done and seen. I'm thankful everyday. I don't want to st back in my rocker and think about what I should have done, I want to remember what I did! By the way your wig looks great! You don't need to word about your reappearance you are beautiful inside and out!

I have social anxiety too. It's makes everything harder, but I still try most days. You are so brave!! When you are doing your ebrows, go in the direction that your hair grows in little strokes. It makes it easier and more natural looking. I know it's hard to get it right!

Absolutely wonderful experience with this day!

Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone, you should be very proud of yourself 👍👏👏💕💕

Such a fun video! Thank you for the enjoyment of watching it.

Congratulations on your first radio interview ❤❤

Lol. I once drove my sister and her husband 4.5 hours each way to visit a national park in one day. Living in the US seriously warps your idea of distances.

Loved this video! Way to conquer your fears ☺️

You are a lot braver then I am. I do not like going anywhere alone and so far away. Also staying in a hotel alone is scary to me. Glad you were able to enjoy the experience..

Congratulations! ❤️🙏🏻

What an amazing video, the hotel and food looked amazing 👍

Always good to do something different n impromptu kind of thing. Happy to watch your video n to see how well u are. Stay healthy n safe. Cheers

You are a beautiful person and can and I believe will go a long way in this life.

Congratulations Romee! I wish you the best in your interview and I really hope subsequent employment. I ♥️

Hi Romee, I've been watching you forever and I know how much you love your longer hair... but I need to tell you how stunning and classy you look with your short hair. 😍😍 🤗 Thanks for sharing! And congratulations on your interview 🙌🏾

I am BetterHelp Therapist! I’m so glad you found it helpful!

I’m from South Africa, and there’s a dialect language of Dutch called Afrikaans. So there are a lot of words you’re saying that I can understand, it’s kinda cool. I commend your bilingualism

Thanks for taking us on your road trip!! 🌺🌺🌺

Love your hair!! Both short and long 😍

Your “hair” looks FABULOUS

Super gedaan, elke keer een stapje verder. 👍❤️❤️❤️

Your new wig and your own hair are both looking awesome. I think I am going to try a wig from that resource you gave in a previous video. Thanks!

Great video Romee!! 👌👌

New experiences is always a great thing and just helps u do those things with a little more ease again i think thats awesome good for u!! By the way lobster is like a common thing where i live but i have never eaten it either and also do not know how lol

Loved the tour. Thank you! It’s beautiful

I like you with the light no makeup brow!

Ur a positive role model in anyrhing u do i have following u from day one ur amazing person

Well done on doing those interviews Romee! It's a big achievement. As someone who suffers from social anxiety, I totally understand how limiting it can be. (I used to perform in public, but now I rarely go anywhere.) I might try to follow your brave lead and push myself a bit more this year too. ❤

It does sound a little funny when you say two hour drive is a long way. I drive two hours to the city just to shop and then come home. Very cool you’re doing a talk on the radio. 👍🌸

Praying for you 🙏🏻❤️

Most people ,i would think ,have social anxiety, when it causes you to shake, that does not help, as you think people must notice, people with out a stammer, or speech block, as i used to have, still can have some , they should be very pleased ,not to suffer, or have suffered this. P.S my favourite bit,of your trip Rommee,, would have been the bath, even on my own.

I am.so proud of you and you look so happy . frim Florida

❤︎ Great job Romee!

Sooooproud of you! In your corner cheering for you!!

love seeing you
