this sounds like me. Ive spent over a decade almost, of time alone. I used to structure my life around my PC. This doesn’t work anymore more. It also took me a long time to relise that control, is perfectism in disguise… it is OK for things to be messy.. it does not reflect on you. Of course maintaining a clean enviroment is a good thing, but that feeling of control, is illusionary. control or surity over our immediate enviroment, feels secure, but it actually robs you of security……..as

all things change, wear and age. Nothing is ever able to be maintained. I guess in short there is never surity in life… If you can learn to be comfortable with the unkowningness of life… it may help release that need.

I have the muscle/eye twitching thing too! I think it’s stress caused by social anxiety but it’s driving me crazy cos you can’t really control it

Yeah, it’s so annoying! Plus I get really embarrased when it happens in public, because I worry that people might notice it.
Sometimes it also happens when I’m anxious around other people and I try to force myself to smile anyway. Very weird :-/

Hi Emily, I’m not sure it’s bullying. I just work in an office with 5 girls. They’re nice 80 % of the time, it’s just the other 20 % of the time that they gang up on me &can be horrible. They were laughing when they read my comments & favourites cuz of things about anxiety. But then they become nice again, so kind of a roller coster. It’s my last day there tommorow, as I’m going to London — pop. 7.5 million, uh oh
— to do postgraduate study for a year. I’ll actually miss them. Thanks.

Hi Jlt, don’t be sorry, thank you for your concern. I’ve already set the recent activities so it doesn’t include comments on videos. It’s more the thought of them seeing a video of me, because they’d go and copy it or send it to people to make fun of or something. I’m not bothered if they read my writing or ratings etc, though. Thanks.

Depression when i was younger, but not as bad now.
NOT blushing, which I can’t believe no one mentioned so far.

Procrastination, (laziness, lack of drive to do anything, etc.)
Constant biting of my cheek, but I don’t think it really has anything to do with sa

If you think I’m fat what would you think about an obese person. You’d die of a heart attack not being able to describe it LOL.
#15 by CountDOODOO on October 1st, 2009
Because of that Tricho-thingy, is that the reason why you seem to always part your hair like that in many of your videos? I just noticed that.

What is Social Anxiety, is it an alcoholic beverage of sorts?
The girl in this vid has nice eyes, and is not so annoying as others on youtube, kudos 97 stars…as i’m of the young age of 97.
And remember my brothers, one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Knick knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone!
wise words, take them with you.

Many people may experience social anxiety (worrying about what other people think of you) but this problem becomes so extreme for some people it becomes a mental illness, called Social Anxiety Disorder. People with Social Anxiety are disabled in their life, such as not being able to socialize, work, use the phone etc.
#23 by GravDiga on October 18th, 2009
well i know i have had such a disorder but doesnt everyone like wtf?… so many ppl act like jerks its pretty natural to feel insecure at 1 point in your life..or say for 10 years… either way just get over it and think about the millions that are starving..
ignorance is only a temporary bliss.. imagine ….if you feel so bad +how do you think some ppl feel when they see their fathers hand get cut off!(in africa and asia of course)
#24 by GravDiga on October 18th, 2009
i like to scratch myself because the stupidity of the world makes me angry… but thats a whole different subject.. you need confidence i think.. well it helps ppl do what they need to and behave themselves ..or so ive heard lmao
great video and i think its like useful for many ppl but its nothing compaired to the real suffering.. those things are minor because we do them example i put everything i hated about me in a bag and mashed the shit out of it for years..now im nearly normal lol.
#25 by GravDiga on October 18th, 2009
1 more thing u have to confront your fears..your not weak..unless you believe you are.. i mashed up my laziness depression guilty aniexty … insecurities… .. awkwardness… all because i decided to .. deal with it not run from it ..or get passed it i accept it or fight it til i find a way to .. flow through it.. you need to learn to run with the hate,so you can outrun it or stomp it to crap. ( i guess this remains a theory but its how i got passed all the lies) i know who i am. CONFIDENCE.
