She agreed with going to the doctor. I'm going tomorrow (I'm really scared.) I hope this helps if not I'm sorry :$

i also cant help comparing myself with everyone else because they are so confident and pretty and popular but i cant be like that. i feel so self conscious and i dont know what to do.

I love you so much mo, these are way too relatable oh dear

you have no idea how much your videos help!! Thankyou so much mo

Nobody believes me about my anxiety. My mom took me to the doctor, but even he didn't believe be and said it was "normal". :(

it's so good how your brave enough to post this :) love you lots x

I think I never developed strong social anxiety, because my mum pushed me nicely to go to choir practise, which is the only hobby that I could keep up. and at choir, whenever you sing, someone else is singing, so you are doing stuff and still can do it very quietly or just stop or skip and noone notices it ^^ and you don't have to chat, because there was no break and afterwards you can just leave. but still, you can participate but very passively.

thank you so much Mo, these videos really help me :) I haven't got the courage to share with my family yet, and I don't know if I will, but im trying to make it though each day and you really help me with that so thanks again! Love you!

im so happy i found your channel, i seriously love your videos. :-))

Your videos help so much, Everytime i'm out now i have a panic attack and I didn't know what was happeneing! Its so hard to explain to people aswell, i love u

Social anxiety is something I've dealt with my entire life. It's hard to talk about. But you're absolutely right - these horrible feelings we make ourselves experience are created from within...and have little to do with the reality of how others - friends, relatives, the world, see you. LOVE YOU, GIRL! You're passing along your courage and truth to a whole lot of people who need it right now!

that's crazy for you to have so many subscribers, be so confident and pretty, and yet do a vlog on social anxiety. god, you have it so good. it's like you have no idea what pain of social anxiety is like, and yet you do a vlog about it. (I've never had a girlfriend my entire life because of my social anxiety). i wish you all the best though.

This helped so much thank you! Love you Mo x

i hope you feel better Mo !

Im notentorely sure if I have social anxiety but the fear i have around being judged or avoiding social situations is enough to make me cry, so I'll say I have it mild. Ive never told my parents either, because they think I'm just shy and impolite, when really I think there's something I just cant handle without help and I'm scared to tell them because I'll just burst into tears and they'll be like ummmm what? Cos theyre loud and confident...You could say 7m a dosappointment to them. Just wish they understood man.

I also have social anxiety and it is really hard for me to talk in class. What has helped me the most is if you have a good relationship with your teacher and they have an idea of what is going on so they know why you need to leave class if you have to. That is just what has helped me so I hope that it can help you all out as well. The way I am with my social anxiety is that when I am in class I never speak 95% of the people in the school have never heard me speak before because it is such a big issue in my life personally. The only people I have talked to are my friends and some of my teachers and my family. The rest of the students in my year only hear me when I say yes to my name on the role.

I get nervous when someone sits next to me on the school bus (most of them I don't know) because I want to make friends and talk but words get stuck and I end up backin out. I haaaate when the teacher says get into groups or even worse partners because I know I'll be the only one without one. Ive never got a panic attack before, but when im reaally nervous my voice gets a but shaky and my teeth chatter. I sweat alot and blush alot too. When im worried too much I cry, and also when Im angry. I want to say nice things like thank you or hello but im just afraid I'll mess it up. I cant talk to my parents about personal issues. I Dont talk much bcos Im afraid I'll say so something wrong, they won't hear me and thats embarrassing, they'll act as if they dont care, or they might think im weird saying that. Im afraid to put my hand up in class cos I usually don't ppl will think why is she acting different. Im really afriad ro say the wrong answer or make mistakes. Even when someone explains how I got it wrong rlly nicely I still feel like bursting into tears. The weird Thing is Iove speeches and class presentations (although I never volunteer) for some very very weird reason. Do I have social anxiety I think so?

You can make friends, everyone has the ability to make friends, you just need to have more social skills, I suggest you join a club at school? I joined drama at school and it helped me a ton believe it of not, I met the most coolest people over there, I felt like I could talk to anyone in there and not have any problems, I felt like a fucking bird soaring through the winds and being free, the vibes were amazing and they were weirdos like me! I have social anxiety and it seems to me like you do too because what you said I can relate to, I have trouble making friends but when you actually start talking to someone it isn't as bad as you think, you may have trouble thinking of what else to say but that's only normal. Asking questions to the person helps a lot too, for example, "what is your favorite color? Where were you born?" Etc. I just want you to try to talk to people and take chances, I took a lot of chances and it got me places that I'm glad I got to, like making friends in drama, I mean I never even knew I would join drama club! I mean me? The shy girl? The girl that dropped put because of social anxiety? YES I DID IT. YOU CAN TALK TO PEOPLE. YES YOU! SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

And I love drama too and surprisingly I love performing now, I never thought I would ever like working with people and acting, I'm a weirdo and when it comes to drama you bring out the weirdo in you and I admire that so much!! Shy people have so many talents, they can truly shock people but the problem is that they are too afraid, we are too scared to be ourselves and that is a huge problem because we have a lot of talent to show. I notice it's usually the shy people that want to do the crazy things but they're too scared to, I mean I don't know if it's just me but I want to do some crazy shit that people don't believe I can do because of how I am. I guess I can say I'm better but on some days I feel like total shit, like I feel very paranoid and self concious but that's only normal because I'm not fully healed yet, I want to not care about what anybody thinks anymore. Social anxiety really destroys you, we just have to fight it and try everyday. So many people battle with SA, it really upsets me because I want to help people that feel worthless.

Oh god ;-; I'm in tears..

I live with this too. Its very hard because I want so many friends to do things wit, but its so hard for me to socialize. I second-guess everything I say and feel too insecure. Then I stay quiet and freak out mentally while im in a group. Its horrid. I compare myself to others everyday.

It's hard to get out of this what others think it's a well written drama

I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety but how do i tell my parents? I always try to but I know they will just think I am really shy. I have a really hard time in school due to the fact of I never want to talk and never want to read out loud or answer questions. I always feal like the class is staring at me when I talk. I never make eye contact when I speak and I always speak too quick and have to repeat myself or I stutter alot. How do I tell my parents? How do i tell them it's not just shyness? Please respond, it would be a big help to me.

Forever & Infinity Hmm, well I think you should sit your parents down and tell them how you're not just shy. Maybe give them some examples of certain situations that make you feel uncomfortable and that give you anxiety. Also tell them the other things you have going on in your head in those moments. Like for me I get a sinking feeling in my stomach and I feel really scared and just want to cry when I have to do certain things. So if you feel that way, you should tell them that too. I know it's hard because my parents still don't understand it fully. It just takes some time. Also when they confront you about it and they say something that isn't right, just correct them calmly and hopefully they will learn over time. I I hope I helped and I wish you the best of luck!

Telling your parents is kinda risky, because often times it's their fault that you have problems like this in the first place. You get anxiety because of trauma and abuse. And telling the abuser to help you, will make matters a lot worse (if the abuser is one or both of your parents). So I recommend you to find a psychologist first and talk with him/her about these things. And then you should consider telling your parents, after you've made sure that this won't get you in really deep trouble. As for the anxiety itself... It's not anxiety that's the problem. In fact anxiety is only a reaction. It's a flight-fight-or-freeze reaction that certain situations trigger you, based on past experiences. It's basically tells you that you don't feel safe. As I said, you only get this if you experience trauma, if someone in your life abuses you, so get help ASAP!

Daniel Dogeanu - Telling your parents if they abused you is of course not very smart.. that's like telling your parents you are gay or an atheist in some places, they will potentially kick you out.. so yea. Be smart about that. I like that you included "freeze" with "fight or flight", people always forget that one or try to lump it in with "flight". A lot of viewers here are very young so they don't really have the means to access a professional to discuss their issues for free.. the school might tell their parents and most places don't have a trained person in the school to talk to about it. There are methods they can try to use, but it's not easy and they won't have the time to do it in secret when they're young. Also anxiety is not only from abuse.. that's only one potential reason.. I found this on the googles: Several factors can increase the risk of developing social anxiety disorder, including: Family history. Negative experiences. Temperament. New social or work demands. Having a health condition that draws attention. Etc. Also it's not just a manner of finding the trigger.. it can come in bursts or get much worse in general over several weeks/months out of nowhere for pretty much no obvious external reason. Similar to depression. I think you have over simplified it..

Why do you get panic attacks? And what happens when you´re having them? And what is going on in your mind while you are having them? :) okay and just one other question: How do I know if i´m just shy or having social anxiety?

Anna Robinson thanks for responding

Social anxiety seems to be fake to my parents, they say I'm only shy. I seem even more pathetic when I say I'm already 17...

I guess I have social anxiety. But I have it for a reason. I got bullied by a group of girls last year. They always waited for me to fail and made me fail in many ways. Because of this I always have the anxious that everyone is waiting for me to fail. İt's like hell. People don't know they can make big damages by words. İt's like sweaty hands uncomfortable eyebrows and wanna fly away.

If a teacher knows you have anxiety and it's a problem.. and they call on you to answer a question or whatever.. even if you know the answer, try to back out of that or say "I donno" everytime and then if you can, talk to them about it afterwards alone or write a letter/email.. you really don't want to encourage these teachers to think that they are helping you get over it or show them that it's not a big deal.. because it can be and confronting fears in that manner doesn't help, it usually makes it worse, therapy uses techniques different to that. It's like petting a dog after it shits on your carpet.. don't do that.

i've been taking sertraline for my anxiety for a couple months and iv'e been thinking of stopping because even though it helps a good bit, and it lowers my libido and makes me feel kinda depressed. actually tbh i kinda like the low libido

when I was in high school I had to take sign language and the first time I had to get up in front of the class to sign and I went to get some water and I got super nervous and started crying I could not go back inside the class and I have felt so bad because it is required to present and get in front of people it wasn't really a big classroom like 20 people.

Once i tried to speak with my father about my social anxiety and he did not even care lol he inmediately changed the topic... but to make it even worst hes psychologist yeah.... fck my life

My parents know i'm a shy person and i came home from school one day telling them that i wanted to be home school and my dad asked me why i wanted to remove myself from society and i know if i tell them that i might have social anxiety they might just think i'm just saying that or overreacting

I need some help. i keep pushing away my family away from me. it is not the same for my freinds. I feel like i dont wanna be around my sister at all and i kick her out of my room all the time. and i also basically lock myself in my room. I dont want to be around my father or my grand ma that lives with me. IDK how to keep myself from locking my door by accident because my dad doesnt want me to. What or how should i handle myself.

3 Things That CURED my social anxiety: ---GUIDED HYPNOSIS. There are tons of youtube videos for social anxiety/confidence hypnosis. They're relaxing, and I used them every day and I quickly saw results. This is the most important thing as anxiety exists solely in our subconscious mind. And you adopt beliefs into your subconscious by repetition. So hypnosis puts you in a relaxed state and then repeats the opposite types of affirmations and voila! ---Omega 3: From a book I read, America is so depressed partly because of our collective fish oil deficiency.. while depression rates are lowest in areas that consume a lot of omega 3. But it has to have BOTH EPA and DHA. ---Deep Belly Breathing: Studies show people with panic issues are most always chest breathers. So when you're feeling anxious take slow deep breaths and first let it fill your whole belly, then your chest. When you exhale, first release the air in your chest, then your belly. Like a wave. I deeply understand the struggle of anxiety and I wish you all the best! I know you can get through it!

I had a panic attack in french class and I basically walked out of the classroom because my mouth completely dried up I tried to tell my teacher and me trying to say 'i need to go to the bathroom' came out as an incomprehensible croak. people after that said i was bunking :/. also i often prefer being alone and go to library but my friends interpret it as me ignoring them :/

I mostly get panic attacks when i cry and my chest hurt really bad and my depression is getting worst and I punched the wall yesterday cause I was so mad at every one and I really want to tell my mom but I don't know how she will react to this,please help me

all the time I just pretend m ok....like every sec I pretend n try to hide

When I'm having panic attacks in school I chew gum it helps calm me down even when I'm just at home

a lot of people say im shy and i lack confidence, but im worried that it could be social anxiety. when people see me they think im just shy and dont have confidence but no one knows how i feel inside and when they ask i just say im fine because i dont know how to explain how i feel. i normally dont speak a lot and feel uncomfortable being around people because im worried they will judge me and i might embarrass myself. i find it really hard to respond to people because im worried i will say something wrong and will look stupid. when someone makes me feel hurt i never tell them how i feel because im worried they will laugh at me so people never know how i really feel. i find it difficult to talk to my family about anything because im worried they will think its not important but it is to me. this makes me feel terrible but i dont know what to do. im shaking now writing this i dont know how people will respond. please can somebody give me advice on what to do.

I'm pretty sure you do have anxiety, and I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell you, much less myself. But just know that these things don't last forever.

I recommend you start to do meditation. I get really anxious if im alone in a croweded place. Like a classroom or work. I feel SO ALONE like everybody else are just enjoying themselves and socializing and I'm just there. I feel excluded. Like a ghost. And i feel terrible, and I cry myself after. I cant understand how people enter a classroom and start talking to everybody so easily. It must be just me... But I am a very lonely person. Sometimes i cry.

***** thats great, i will start doing too :D

Hold up. It was hard enough for me to get and get a tissue before class even started. How am I supposed to ask the teacher if I can go to the bathroom when she's teaching? It's too scary. Also, a guy told me he likes me almost two weeks ago. We talk everyday after school, but it's more of a one-sided conversation on his side. I can't talk, I always look down, and I can't laugh at something he said without covering my mouth (my mouth is ugly). He asked me out, and because I didn't want him to be sad and lose someone who actually DOES try to talk to me, I said OK. Now I feel trapped. I'm not exactly unhappy, but I'm more extremely terrified every time I'm near him, or if he's just in my class. In Chinese, it's terrifying. In history, the seats are laid out where all rows except one face front, and one row is turned 90 degrees. His seat basically sits facing me the entire time. And I'm in the row directly in front of him. IT'S FREAKING SCARY. I can't be comfortable. He comes over and does that thing where he puts his hands on both sides of the desk, and I'm cowering into the one people-free corner of my desk. We have the desks that have that bar on them so there's only one way out. I look down, my heart is racing beyond healthy rates, and I start sweating and digging my nail into my finger. I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not comfortable. He told me that if I was uncomfortable, then he would slow down. It's literally been like two weeks - this is too fast for a person with social anxiety just having their first (would this be a relationship? I don't even know anymore...). I could go on and on and on. I see all these girls complaining that their crush/boyfriends are being jerks at the moment, but all I'm thinking is how are they not even scared to be in a relationship? It's hard because every time he tries to hug me, my brain is processing it and I can't do this. I can't handle it. I think I'm getting more acne and gaining weight from the stress. It kept me up for like 3 hours one night. I get panic attacks at night and in class (not just the ones I have with him) and I've lost all focus on schoolwork. The only thing I can talk to him about is school though, and even then I have trouble remembering what I want to tell him. I have to rehearse my conversation for the entire 7 hours before class. He told me a couple of names of people he told (not everyone knows, only a few close friends), and my immediate thought was "AVOID. AVOID. AVOID." Thing is, both of them are also in our history class, and one sits directly diagonal from me. Everytime she looks over at me, I feel smaller. I shrink, and I start to panic. What is she thinking about me? Did I do something wrong? Am I too stupid for her? Am I not good enough for her friend? Overall, I think I'm just waiting to see if I can get through this. I'm terrified every day, but my best friend (who also has social anxiety) told me it's good to try out a relationship so that I'm "prepared for the future." I think the only reason keeping me going though is not wanting to hurt him or be hated by him. I can only communicate by text, and even then I'm overly-conscious of how many emojis I'm using, what I might sound like through text (irritated or happy?), and if I'm talking about something that he's okay with. I need help. I go to a therapist once every two weeks, but I really don't think it's enough. But my parents think it's plenty, if not too much. They will pay for a tutor, but they won't pay that much for a therapist. Advice is appreciated, if anyone actually took time to read that rant....

But the scary part in telling your friends about it is thinking "if I tell them, will they still be my friends?"

I would say shy people for the most part just find socializing a little intimidating and maybe a burden, but are okay in these social situations. With anxiety, you may experience a physical response to your worrying. You may start to sweat, find it difficult to breathe, and you might even have a full on panic attack and can't get your mind off of the topic. Just think to yourself, "are my thoughts rational?" If they are pretty rational and aren't extreme, you may just be shy. If your worries are irrational, then it's anxiety. Obviously, when you are having this worry, you will always think it's rational, but maybe later when you aren't worried about it or it's over, think back and ask yourself then if your thoughts seemed rational. I know this can be tricky and the answers aren't always absolute. For me personally, I was always told that I was just shy and then when I went to see a psychiatrist, she told me that I had a lot of anxiety and worries. Maybe you should see someone about whatever is bothering you. Whether you have anxiety or not, it's always nice to talk to someone who you know won't judge you. If money is an issue, I would recommend to call around and see if they can offer you discounted sessions. I did this (well, my mom did) and I was able to see someone for $20 when initially, the appointments were $80! Good luck!

You can also take tests online.

dhltn8624 - I wouldn't recommend online tests. Most are contructed by people who are not trained professionals and are just talking out their ass or made the test for fun/entertainment reasons. I suggest going to a professional website that specialises in the area or your health department website or something like that, and then double check the information with other sites. Also self diagnosing isn't always accurate since some people over exaggerate or think they have the condition when they don't (especially younger people living with a lot of stress), so going to a professional for diagnosis is of course the best option (make sure they know what they're talking about too). You can even double check with a second professional. Also it's useful to see if your emotions match up with videos from people on youtube with the condition. But don't only rely on that shitty method. It's just good to match up the things you read with actual people, it helps the understanding process more than words alone.

Do you have medicin for it?

I left a comment on your first social anxiety video, it would be awesome if you could read and reply with some advise. :)

I have social anxiety, the thing is that my parents don't believe me, they say it's because I'm a puber..

Ughh it's so sad, I don't like talking about it with any one cause they don't understand my situation!! It's just like a person with a broken leg and a person thats never had one. The person that's never had a broken leg is never gonna see how it feels to have a broken leg if they've never had it before. Same with social anxiety, they've never been in my shoes so no one understands me😥😥😥😥😥😥

I know I won't get the courage to tell my parents about my anxiety. Even in the best possible scenario, I know it will never happen. I want help though. I don't want to feel this way anymore. But even if I did get the help, I don't think I could get myself to change. Sorry just had to rant a little.
