Vlog ♡ overcoming my social anxiety, facing my fears, getting more plastic surgery | Part 1 

I have to mentally prepare myself to go out and talk to people... people dont know that I have social anxiety because of my personality but I totally understand

You aren’t being lazy. Save your mental and emotional energy as needed ❤️ Never ever feel badly for putting you first

Having social anxiety and then being able to socialize is a superpower! The whole time I'm there I'm "on". When I get home I'm exhausted from all the peopling... you're so beautiful and transparent.. seeing you work through this helps others

2 main things that reduced my anxiety especially in the mornings: one NO more caffeine, esp coffee (makes my heart race and when I don’t have it I have withdrawals… like headaches and fatigue) two, I wake up and I meditate!! Has 👏🏾 changed 👏🏾 my 👏🏾 life. I also just don’t sleep with my phone in my room and don’t use social media which is rare I know but HUGE. It allows me to be present. Anxiety has a lot to do with feeling unprepared for the unknown and the uncertainty of life. ALL of life is uncertain - that’s for certain 😂 so if we can accept that, learn to be at peace in the present, it’s so goodddd 🧘🏾‍♀️. I spend a lot of my free time doing shit that nourishes me instead of scrolling, and online shopping, etc. Im like reading books again and rebuilding my library it sounds corny but it brings me joy! wishing you all the best on your journey and lots of peace on the way. 💖💖💖💖💖💖

“I really don’t leave the house” so meee! I do all of my beauty & body care myself, it’s giving very much self-taught & self-made 💁🏽‍♀️ It’s honestly been the one thing that’s really help me embrace my beauty & body..

I would’ve never known you have anxiety. These are the things people don’t talk about which makes everything seem so perfect. Thanks for being brave enough to share this side of you. We enjoy all the fun and games but as a supporter, we enjoy vulnerability too. I’m all about being true to self and you couldn’t be more of your self than in this video right here so thank you. I too suffer from anxiety and my biggest anxiety is from public speaking but it’s a slow working process. My husband also helps me a lot because he puts me in uncomfortable situations to get me out of my shell which actually helps. And I do things also on my own time as far as putting myself out there. A lot of people ask me how do I wanna become a RU-vidr if I’m afraid of public speaking…… although it’s speaking in front of a camera, I know with RU-vid there’s a lot more that comes with just speaking in front of a camera so this is my way of trying to overcome my fear of public speaking.

That's how the enemy attack, through emotions and the mind. I'm proud that you push to go, it reveals how strong and powerful you are . Always keep in mind that you can meet others that can help catapult you further into your career. Pray over your spirit always. XOXO you so DOPE by the way.

Yes girl we been watching you since kiddie days now I have my own kid and still watches ✨

I’ve been working on getting over my fear of getting out, making conversation with people, promoting my business more etc. you are not alone boo!

This video was so real and relatable. I suffer with social anxiety at times too. Either I’m on a roll and a social butterfly or I’m like a hermit in the house for weeks. I’m so glad you went out. You looked beautiful. Sometimes we just have to step out. I think that’s when we end up having the best times.

We love how humble you are to still be shocked about your own impact. You are iconic, and patting yourself on the back should happen more often. 'Cause who don't know and love AaliyahJayy? Period

Thanx for using your voice to speak about anxiety because ppl don’t talk about it enough! Anxiety is real and I’ve had it the WORSTTT since 2021. I’m slowly overcoming my fears because it is ALL in our HEAD! But that’s definitely a 2023 goal, to stop letting anxiety win!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕 loved this vlog & consistency😘

“Why is it such a hard thing to decide if I want to go out tonight?” Because when you have anxiety it will always be a tough decision. And that’s okay. Give yourself patience and sit with yourself. Always give your self kindness and extra extra room to grow. Instead of asking anxiety “why?” Ask “how can I make this more comfortable for me right now. What can I do in this moment to give myself grace and patience?” That’s what helps me on my journey. Anyhow great vid hun new subbie ❤

Whenever you have those moments where you’re discouraged by anxiety, give yourself a reality check. You prayed for these moments and opportunities, you don’t want to allow these opportunities to pass you by ❤

Loving the grown, mature laid back Aaliyah! And so glad you went! Don’t let the devil hold you back!

really like how you mentioned that you want to make the event but if you don't its okay! m still learning that because I literally stress myself out and can be so mean to myself when I running late or being rushed

Anxiety is you being anxious about something. Like knowing you going and preparing for outcomes. Weighing pros and cons. Overwhelming the mind for absolutely what you gone successfully conquer

The public/social anxiety is so relatable it’s like I was literally just watching myself. it really is scary. and i noticed that the tiredness started after you ate. which is so interesting because I noticed that when I stop eating heavy in the morning with too much breads, more than 1 egg, and heavy meats, not too much dairy and stuck to fruits, 1 egg, a smoothie and turkey bacon it made a HUGE difference in my energy for the day. Girl you eat like them gym men that be wanting mad protein and carbs so they can lift 😂❤you might need a lighter breakfast with more vitamins so your body and mind don’t get tired and groggy idk if that’ll work for you but just wanted to mention since it worked for me lol. 🫶🏾🫶🏾❤❤

Girl you look GOODT ❤❤❤ Shadow WAS EVERYTHING & that hatttttt omg ❤ I also struggle with anxiety but as soon as I’m out and start talking I be ok😊

Fear is a liar! You fully know and love yourself so well and that in of itself is so commendable! Rooting for you girl! 💫

You've literally an OG!!! I was gone for years and to see you STILL shining bright.... I'm elated! Congratulations on all the wins, keep winning 😊

Omg 2 videos in a week 💗🤌🏽🥰 I really missed you vids

I've been a "silent" watcher/supporter since middle school. We appreciate you! Keep going.

Aaliyah is such a cancer ♋️ and so me. I do all my own self care maintenance as well cause if something doesn’t look right or come out a certain way I feel way better blaming myself and knowing I didn’t have to spend as much money to be slightly disappointed 😅. Been subscribed for YEARS, take ur time but definitely need to see you more often on RU-vid 🥲💗🙌🏽

Ok we missed miss Aaliyah Jay 🥹

I love you so much Aaliyah! I’ve been watching your journey since I was in middle school and I love to see how far you’ve come, I hope you continue to grow and be successful 🩷

I feel u on being cautious about wearing designer out of the country. I did once and never again after that. It puts a target on u to get robbed by locals and extorted by crooked police. Cute and simple is the way to go 💜

Procrastination is so hard…i get it girl. I’m glad you pushed yourself and ended up having a positive experience. ❤️

Wow I’m only two videos in on your channel and I’m hooked! Love your vibe!! I definitely struggle with social anxiety and I’m trying to get out of it.

Just want to mention that I watched a video of yours around 2013 and it saved me. That is all I am going to say. I cherish you❤

The naps, anxiety and wanting to be home is me recently, since I been home from my vacation I don't want to step out, and working from home hasn't helped. Love that your so transparent and honest. Love from the UK

Thank you for your transparency! You are not alone in your struggle with anxiety. Praying for you to experience Gods peace which surpasses all understanding ❤

Im colombiana! I’ve been watching you FOREVER! Actually learn some English language watching you as a teen 😍 🇨🇴

Listen to your body if you need a quick nap, take a nap or take vitamins and get your blood checked to make sure you arent lacking anything. But I defitenly understand. I get in a ways when I don't leave th house for DAYS but when I finally do I'm so happy I went because we are social beings and need community. Its good for you to go out and socialize.

9:17 I love your energy in this vlog so much. You sound like a confident woman that knows what she wants tbh. Even though you have anxiety. You definitely know what you want and you have to mentally tell yourself that to get things done like you did. It’s what i do tbh.

Your skin is glowing Joy 😍😍😍🔥🔥

I’m loving these short videos. ❤❤

Gotta remind yourself to not let anxiety steal your joy

It's your humility for me

The makeup look is GIVING 😍😍😍😍😍

And she’s backkkkkkkkk❤❤❤😍😍😍😍

My NAILS are like that too! Either get CURVED acrylics or GEL X. Works like a charm ❤

You are doing amazing Aaliyah keep pushing through those hard days God is your strength. ❤

I struggle with anxiety too, and the struggle is real. Thank you for opening up about that. Great job on this video; excellent content. You're a great vlogger & inspiring. You're awesome!

Hearing your NY Accent ACCENT !! I love itttt!! SO Glad you are HOME!! 🥹🫶🏿 WE MISSSSSEDDDD YOU!

definitely one of the OG it girls 💕 you inspired me to start my RU-vid! been watching since 2015 and I loooove your growth!!

I would love to see a tutorial on your press on nails!! ❤

Fight through the tiredness girl. Go to the event you already did your makeup. Go girl!!

Yes that black & white skirt fit was super cute , but literally everything was perfect lol

I totally understand. I just recently started having social anxiety especially now that my socials been blowing up. I dead have to fight myself to go out to important places and events. Luckily its been fading & getting better. Keep pushing, You’re strong.

I can never keep my press ons to stay on. You look so good sis and growth is so beautiful on you.

loving the vlogs lately, streets is saying we need a brow tututorial tho I'll even take a tiktok sis.

I need those pants from Urban Outfitters. Sooo cute 🥰

You’re absolutely impactful girl!

7:16 the look came together so good!

Only 2 mins in and I just wanna say I’m so proud of your growth ! That girl fr ❤

I’ve been watching your videos for so long, I remember when you use to use A&D to moisturize because of how dry your skin gets lol

Hey I never made a comment on your channel but you are amazing much love girl. Your beautiful

I love how you support Jackie and vice versa

I'm a cancer and I go through the "not wanting to be social" phase at times also. It's comforting to stay at home and enjoy your peace and pampering, but to reach our goals we will have to be social. I have no problem when I want to, Im great! but when im in my lounging, introvert mode it takes a lot to get ready and go!! Once I go & mingle im always thankful I went and pushed through, so im not sure if this is anxiety or if this is just "not wanting to be bothered" lol ...Cancers are moody and sometimes we just want to be away from the small talk, fake love & drama.

Yes you have to fight back against the anxiety, you aren't really tired! Also if your kitchen sink has a garbage disposal you can put your eggshells in it.

Glad to still see you posting & doing well, love ya! 💕🫶🏼

You should definitely go for a mani & pedi. It feels like a step in the self care routine!

I didn’t know u even still did yt because I unsubscribed a few years ago, when the content was giving “I’m abt to quit this”. I’ve been just living the ig content. Now I’m here binge watching all your new videos like “yessss, this is the Aaliyah jay that I’ve been watching since high school. She’s backkkkk, but better.” Anyways happy to be back a part of the army 😊

Loved the realness in this vlog 🤍

Whew, same sister! Anxiety be kicking my butt! Just gotta know that God is stronger than that feeling/ emotions! Moment, by moment, one day at a time! 🤞🏾💕

You are really looking more and more like your mother 😍

I hope you’re doing well queen ❤️❤️❤️ You deserve all your fruits, you work so hard! You’ve been an inspo to me since I was younger and your vids are always so relatable and helpful. Keep slaying xo

First things first, I want to absolutely commend you on always, ALWAYS maintaining being authentic & VULNERABLE; you’ve will remain being my fav. Your transparency & talent will always reign supreme Beauty. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being who you truly are; as Empaths & Introverts we go through so much especially whenever it comes to leaving our safe place. We’re always being projected upon & we never know how our experience will play out, it’s kind of a hit or Miss thing; People could be really nice to us or undeniably mean. We pick up on everything & everyone’s energy & that alone is a lot to deal with, always follow your first mind & if you’re conflicted lean more towards whatever feels natural. Regardless, your mental health matters more than an “opportunity” because what’s destined for you will always be for you. I relate exceptionally well, us June 23rd babies go through so much, much more than people will ever truly know, it’s always a battle spiritually & mentally. I love you girl & always know, you got this mama! 🤍

you’re a classic!! love watching you girl ❤️❤️
