my first video explaining my social anxiety…i don’t consider my case to be a disorder..it isn’t debilitating, but it makes me so uncomfortable that i wanna do nothing but go home whenever i’m in forced to be in a social situation..i’ll shut down and not talk to anyone and the whole time think about what they are thinking of me. that will make me shut down even more..it’s almost to the point of being debilitating to my daily life.

why is it everyone that understands direct democracy is a loon?

lol..i’m more socially awkward than loony..maybe it’s because i’m a loner. loners think a lot. and deep thinking usually leads to realizations. and the realization in this case, is that freedom isn’t pure unless the people represent themselves.

the problem though with direct democracy, is that majority rules..when a society directly represents themselves, the individual (the smallest minority) isn’t protected or reguarded by the majority..it can cause a lot of problems for the minority.

yese but you either have one or the other. society running itself or society being led by the nose by the elite. which is what we have now. I’d rather be lead by the sheeple then be lead by people I know I can’t trust on Anything.

Analysis = Paralysis.. I often think too much since I’m always by myself. I can’t toke up around people anymore. It would make me over aware and I would go silent. falling in love with your comfort zone is a great way to put it since its the place where your anxiety free. But your comfort zone is devoid of anything you don’t know or have yet to experience. We drain everything we could do in our comfort zone yet there is a world out their full of new things and experiences. Keep posting.

Whoa, I totally understand you. I like deep conversations too, but not too many ppl do. Modern life is a cycle, you go to work, you want to go home, u go home, u want to go out. But you need to enjoy the change. Accept the present moment and maybe then you can enjoy yourself. Do new things. Invite ppl over. Meet new ppl. Anyways, good video.

That helped me understand the disorder sooooo much. Thank you for being brave and sharing that. I am an actor and I wanted to research this for an audition and it was very informative

yep and that’s the purpose to life really..is experience. and we live everyday without that experience. without any experience other than our own minds analysis. i was hanging out with my cousin frankie last night..he invited his friend joe over..well, joe ended up having to take me home since my truck has been over heating. i barely know the guy. i get anxiety even if it’s 1 on 1 with someone i don’t know..i made an ass out of myself trying to socialize. it was ridiculous.

i dunno man, isolation created who we are..it seems so hard to undo it..it seems like everytime i engage a situation to challenge myself, the bad experience makes me weaker and more reluctant..not stronger..it makes me more fearful of failure and awkwardness..but maybe after awhile of that, and facing those fears consistently, one day it just clicks and comes together. i dunno. it’s just hard not to be negative about it..i’m just hoping one day things sort themsleves out somehow.

I used to like smoking weed and it did make things tolerable for a while but I wouldn’t advise SA’ers to get hooked on it because when you’re on your own for hours on end you can get really paranoid, at least I did. I haven’t smoked for a few months now.
Good vid btw!

Your situation sounds similar to mine. I am very analytical and worry incessantly about anything and everything. Definitely have missed out on many opportunities in life. It has led me to appear apathetic and unambitious, but I am extremely ambitious. The anxiety overwhelms and controls every aspect of my life. Would be nice to talk to you sometime. Thank you for posting.
