In reality we just love watching genuine people because we lack those these days. Stay real!
Just don’t change anything! Stick with the iphone, stick with the ‘bad editing’ just be yourself, keep it simple. Talk about your problems it comforts me🙂
Myra just be yourself that is why we are all here.. your a very likable person....your interesting and down to earth
You have no obligations to this channel. Lol. Don’t be anxious about it.
I hate awkward situations but also feel like I’m the one making it awkward
Here's a simple tip: Just do what you were doing before you went "viral".
Don't worry about disappointing your subscribers, you won't. Just talk about what you want to talk about, and be yourself. People like you.
I’m 20 and still can’t always bring myself to answer the phone even when my friends call me.
I tried drinking my way out of these things when I was your age. I partied a lot and guess what? It doesn't go away trying to hide from it. I just turned 40 this year and have not drank in 10 years now. These issues are real and it is nice to see youtubers just simply being real with how they feel. I still hide it. I take out my anxiety by practicing/composing music 24/7 and keeping extremely busy. I still work out like a mad man thinking that this will help me. None of it works. Drinking, business, changing your image, etc. At least you are up front and admitting it in front of everyone. I guess that is my next step instead of immersion into activities that create extreme avoidance or fake confidence. I ran across this by accident. The good thing about the net is that we start seeing how many people there are just like ourselves who struggle with these very things.
“Jello” , just be yourself. You’re not disappointing anyone.
Hi.
As a 62 year old with many of the same issues you face, I sympathize.
Girl, if you can have a channel on KZread with anxiety then you're doing amazing! Total respect for you!
You're incredibly sincere, that's honestly very rare to find these days. Everyone's so afraid to be honest or reveal how they really feel without covering with a shade of cool/humour
Let us down? What?
I've always felt different, since I was a preschool, and always felt completely alone in that feeling of being always too terrified of anything involving social or extrovert situations. Just like you, I managed somehow to survive alone. I'm 31, no friends, and hopeless. I assume that it's just the way my life will always be. It's sad, and depressing, yes, but I've always enjoyed my self company. Just like you, I just don't know what's going on with me, than no one want me as a friend. I may be too awkward, or too shy, or too weird. I just stopped trying. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience, I think you are a brilliant personality. ♥
My worst anxiety was also the dumbest, I was scared of swallowing in a quiet room because I didn’t want people to hear it. That was at my most anxious point, I like to think it got so bad that I just got tired of dealing with it and gave up but the truth is I just beat it. When you feel your face get red you gotta tell yourself you want it to happen and it actually goes away. To get over your anxiety you have to go through it by purposely putting yourself in those situations and try to think of what you would think if you were on the other end of it. For example when you see someone fall and their face gets red you think it’s weird that their face would get red over that because it’s not that big of a deal then you forget about it 10 minutes later.
Oh...you are so precious....so candid...,so REAL. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO BE.
JELLO is how people feel sometimes when in shock or in awkward situations... You are a very strong minded person. Amazing how you are working through your struggles
