“I hate my social anxiety!!!”


HI FRIENDS!!!! I have MISSED you! I thought of you every day while at the TAH & The School. Today’s video: *Shout out to Youtube user: Calculus345 *Inquiry on “I hate my social anxiety.” *www.thework.com (Worksheets are available for free, and that is all you need to do inquiry) *For the Jenny McCarthy/Byron Katie video, www.youtube.com *** I invite anybody with an open mind to share one example (or more if you’re really honest) how social anxiety has been a good thing, or even a gift to you …

    working on the breathing is really useful but I mean really working you know, The practice of zazen for example would be a help for you, but zazen is not like a pharmac… it is an ancient practice and it has to be respected. But it is helpful for sure!!! Maybe if you try to change by your breathing you won’t need all those thoughts in your tired mind… but anyway it is a process… for everybody as well. :D

    I tend to think that if I beat myself up enough that my anxiety(and other aspects of myself that I don’t like) will go away.
    Does thinking about how much you hate youyr social anxiety make it worse , Janey?

    SA is a social construct created by group mindset.
    A god example of this is on youtube where a male rat and female rat are put into a cage and life for them is wonderful.
    But as they keep mating they get less and less room and the babies growing up start showing the same symptoms of social anxiety and withdrawl.
    Sooo I do not have the url but its all about people being in YOUR FACE and not getting enough YOU TIME cave time. this is normal but yes can be worked on.

    I love my social anxiety because if it’s true that the universe is friendly and that everything happens for you, not TO you, then it means that I was MEANT to have SAD for ten years, and that it’s all part of God’s plan (and I’m not even religious! :) )

  6. #6 by JaneyfromKorea on November 27th, 2009

    yes :) in my experience

  7. #7 by JaneyfromKorea on November 27th, 2009

    Isn’t that strange.. .we’d rather risk dying then to speak up, lol. The irony of SA.

    Hay Janey. I’m new to all this but i find your videos great! i’ve seen most of them i’ve had SA for as long as i can remember. Similar to you it all started at school for me and a dramatic change in environment around the age of 11. I can honestly say that i have overcome alot of my symptoms simpley by staying positive & knowing there are so many ’shy’ types out there but i’m neither shy or too talkative. it;s just how we perceive ourselves & what how ‘we’ think ppl perceive us. x

    I was always able to be comfortable enough around one person or two people in my life.. and it just so happened that I found somebody who accepted my shyness (or didn’t even notice it). There was A LOT of trial and error and suffering and getting up and trying again and even now, my relationship is not perfect and my thinking still gets in the way… honestly, i never thought id be able to be in a 3year relationship, you really never know until you get there and you think wow..i made it this far

    Not really the best video ever

  16. #16 by JaneyfromKorea on December 1st, 2009

    I love my social anxiety because it creates space for others to be very helpful.

  17. #17 by JaneyfromKorea on December 1st, 2009

    I love my social anxiety because I can be most helpful to others who experience SA, panic, depression, suffering period. Who would you want to help you, a person who’s always been happy or a person who’s had the experience?

  18. #18 by JaneyfromKorea on December 1st, 2009

    I love my social anxiety because it creates a gentleness in me, like a softness, it makes me very lovable.

  19. #19 by JaneyfromKorea on December 1st, 2009

    I love my social anxiety because it lets other people feel better about themselves, seeing as they’re not the only ones.. and for outgoing people, they get to feel better about themselves looking at me and thinking, “well, at least i’m not that shy.” it’s called schadenfreude. ;)

  20. #20 by janeysman on December 2nd, 2009

    thanks janey for explaining that’s basically what I’m hoping for myself.

  21. #21 by filmgurl on December 2nd, 2009

    Thank you, Janey! This video transcend social anxiety. It talks about how to deal with fear in general. When we are scared of something, we tend to usually hate it and try to avoid it, not face it and understand it. I think this is how even every conflict start. By avoiding, trying not to understand it, hating it, wanting to get rid of it…etc.

  22. #22 by filmgurl on December 2nd, 2009

    I didn’t have SA as a child, but I developed it as I got older. I’m 30 now, and I do appreciate it so much because I became more emotionally sensitive to other people’s emotional needs. It helps me to be careful of what I say, and what I do. And it helped me to develop a wonderful relationship with my significant other. Thank you for sharing your stories with us and open yourself up to the world, and allow people to be part of your healing process. God bless you!

  23. #23 by JaneyfromKorea on December 3rd, 2009

    I love my social anxiety because it connects me to some of the most courageous people I have EVER known.

  24. #24 by JaneyfromKorea on December 3rd, 2009
