i struggle to pay and order a meal at dinner. i also let everyone cut me in lines. im beginning to think i just have a need a lot of freedom and don’t realy need to be around people that much. i know im attractive pretty wealthy but i still can’t approach girls seriously. i have dated amazing girls in the past but idk wat happend. i guess im just super picky. great vid. be well
You are not alone with feeling anxious whilst buying things in busy places, it never gets easier for me, my mind is always racing and I can’t function properly at all.
going to stores as any other place where you expect to find a lot of people, and specially paying for things causes me a great deal of anxiety. I’ve never had a date. And you are pretty, not so much, just enough to make my heart pound every time I see you
oh yeah your not alone there i get aload of anxiety paying for things especially in big shops…not sure why i think i feel like they will think i am cheap or stupid because i give too much money or take a long time to get the money out its really stupid most of the time i just get someone else i am with to pay for the stuff some times i don’t even go into the shop just let who ever i am with do it and give them a list or tell them what i want but i am improving alot. i hope you do as well
I can relate. I’ve had SA ever since I was in the first grade. I found that not caring what anyone thinks is key. Whenever I’m about to walk into a store to buy something or order takeout, I would tell myself that I don’t care what they think of me and that they don’t know me, they don’t know my name, where I live, etc.
I always order takeout, though. Sitting down and eating in a restaurant is still a major problem for me. So, I don’t do it anymore. Do what you’ve got to do but don’t starve yourself because of it. You can do it!!!
I thought I had this before, but then I got over it and noticed that I was just making things up. But some people really have it. I’m sorry that you feel like that so bad that you can’t relax and have fun.
i struggle in stores too, i’m in the same boat as u on that one friend, especially if it’s a local store and the cashier feels he can be a lil more casual towards me. sometimes i try to make it look like i’m in a hurry so the person won’t try and talk to me too long.
and i too think ur very pretty, u hav a reali cute graceful appearance
Going into stores – especially grocery stores – gives me tons of anxiety. I literally cant stop walking in the store, its like I dont want to be seen looking at something on the shelf. And I cant leave the store without buying something either. So I basically need to walk down the same aisle 2-3 times just to get an idea of what to buy. And I hate running into the same person in different areas of the store. Its like they think im stalking them or something…
i totaly know what ur going through i feel the same way everyday all i wanna do is go to collage and have a good day with my m8s but my anxiety always kicks in and its horrible
I emailed you in the past about a program called the linden method. When I told you about it, I still had anxiety symptoms.
I no longer have them. Everyone has the ability within them to overcome any situation. If you really want help, search it out, I can even send it for you through email.
You have the power within you to stop your own suffering.
When we are afraid to be seen and heard-we have learned that. It’s not inborn.
There is always an element of consistant humiliation in early childhood.
Ask yourself-was I the center of attention and it was negative attention. If your memories of the past have this pattern, then U know were your SA started.
SA is so cruel.Your are the kind of person that people would like to meet.I think people are naturally attracted to you because you have a great personality.You have many wonderful qualities.
I may not have SA like you, hearing about how you have a hard time going into malls, etc. but I really do understand! I like knowing that I’m not the only one that is terrified to be social. I understand the negative though things – I compare myself a lot to everyone I see. This is a good video Nice job in explaining things from your point of view!
Yes!!! I have all these stupid little irrational fears too. ESPECIALLY at a store or restaurant…or anywhere where I feel I can’t escape easily and am forced to interact with people. It’s so painful…=( I sometimes get this stinging sweat and my stomach breaks out in these little prickling red dots…its so frustrating…I just want to be NORMAL again…its been too long…no one should have to feel this way
hahaha! i have these same fears too! the stalking one is interesting…i just feel like i’m being watched all the time by everyone…its the worst feeling in the world. i have to avoid eye contact too! grrrr i want my confidence back
Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.
In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
God’s healing power is ETERNAL!
Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
The cure for fear is FAITH!
Fear limits you.
FAITH ENABLES YOU!
People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!
i`m suffering from SAD too. some of my worst things that happens often is, when i travel in a bus and have to get down at a stop, i get sudden nervous outbreak and panic attack .
and i almost always feel fine going out only at nights / get courage to show up only in darkness. oh..and shopping is a big trouble, i finish shopping and get out of the shop in max 3-4 mins. i cant imagine staying there..i`ll definitely breakdown . i think i`m in a serious trouble =/.
I don’t get as much anxiety with I’m with someone that im comfortable with like my brother or sister of long term friend, but when i’m by myself it makes it even worse anybody feel the same?
I get the same feeling especially when i have to pay for what im getting it feels so awkward standing there, seems like everybody is looking at you judging you

That’s really sad.
I feel really sorry for you.
