Sir i need help badly.. im facing social anxiety since last 5 years and its getting worse every day passing by.. sir plz advice me any best doctors or psychiatrist no. Or name who are specialist in treating society anxiety .. plz sir .. my life is getting disturbed...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😓
I'm 13, my social anxiety is destroying my life. I do 7 of these things. I would tell my mom about my anxiety but the truth is I can't because she doesn't believe that mental health is a real thing.
@@avirajwaingankar3443bro same here . Do CBT let's fight it together
I've always been called "too shy" from my childhood but now I realize that it might be something more serious, my "shyness" is getting out of hand. Thank you for helping us to learn more about ourselves
Edit: I'm now diagnosed with social anxiety and BPD, and currently taking meds, going to therapy
Same
Same my mom and dad both are sort of have introverted personality and my relatives or friends are always like SHE IS ALSO INTROVERTED LIKE HER PARENTS/SHE IS SHY LIKE HER PARENTS. But these day my trembling problem has been getting prominent and literally strangers are asking me if I have some issue...well bro I guess so hey
Same, Everyone always said I was just shy, people are now thinking it could be much more.
Same
Yes
it sucks when you have this and at the same time you hate interacting with people. You may come off as cold or rude
Yeahhhhh a lot of people think im cold when i would really want a friend i just dont know how to make one 😭
So true

My social anxiety is really bad and I feel so underdeveloped when I compare myself to other kids my age😭
Me to keep be social
Same! I’m 16 though I feel so young compared to others that’s are my age as well.
you got a long life ahead of you. You'll get over it. Hang in there
Same
Same. In my mind i feel older, smarter and more developed i guess, compared to how i act/talk/express myself to others
The struggling with confidence is one thing, but the uncontrollable shaking that I can’t calm down, the chocking on my own saliva, the visible tremble of my bottom lip and shaking in my voice..it’s horrible. I thought I could just cover it up and fake confidence, but people know! I thought I could do it and denied having it for so long but I think I’m finally accepting it,
I can really understand you 😢 It's sometime out of control ! It so embarrassing
Same to me 🥺
Same man I’m just gonna start embarrassing myself I’m public and recording it
@@Lina-cf4oysame as me, i know how it feels. And most of the time i'm just walk away to calm myself.
Same. I started collage and I thought acting like I was confident would make everything better but in reality I think everyone knows I am so socially awkward because I never know what to say!
I’ve been struggling so much with getting my words out lately. My vocal cords are so tight. This is a new symptom that’s embarrassing me and tearing down my confidence
I’ve been having the exact same problem, it’s killing me
God is with us pray for better days
Same
Exactly same issue... what medicine will help?
Same🙂💔

The thing is I logically plan everything and write down everything . But logic and positivity fades away when I am about to act. When i fail..sometimes i indulge in self harming to bring out all the frustration
Exactly 😭
🗿true
All fingers up 😞 Social Anxiety is a slow death ... especially when i have difficulty in breathing and start shaking, I feel so weak and I just hate that I can't control myself 💔It's so hard !
Why not wear a three-hole ski mask(silk type) to reduce social anxiety disorder?
I feel you and you should know that you are loved and u re seen❤ hugss
And stomach pain 😢
Social anxiety hit me at a young age and at that time I played sports and was involved in many things socially but it all stopped when anxiety hit me. I’ve shut myself I’m my room for so long that I feel like I’m in a dream that never ends I often have to force myself to go to sleep because my body won’t stop pumping adrenaline I’m my body even though I’m physically exhausted. I’m scared of things that I never would have even bugged an eye to. I’ve honestly considered taking THC but I don’t want to do it because I believe that if I keep on praying God will save me out of this nightmare. I’ve lost so many friends and and connections with people because of this feeling even now when I try to make friend I can’t keep a conversation because I get burned out from shaking and over thinking, people think I’m lazy for not doing things but deep down I’m trying my hardest not to have a meltdown I’m so tired of this 😞😞
Same this exactly what I go through. I just wish I was able to communicate and look at people but I just can’t it’s so hard to just TALK to someone……😞🥺
All i could say is, don’t let your social anxiety hold you back from living life. What i’m going to say is not that fun but.. try to get out of your comfort zone anyway, start small like going for a walk, going to the store to get something what you need, say hi to a stranger that passes by, smile to a stranger. And when these are not that hard no more try bigger stuff like going to a shopping mall alone & etc. Trust me, it’s not gonna be easy in the beginning. You’re gonna feel like dying… but once you keep doing these it’s gonna be less scary and your body is going to get used to it! You can never change in your comfort zone, so take your chances cause life goes by fast ✨
I have social anxiety, when you realize we are all people and all people go through their own problems it gets better. Don't start smoking weed all it did for me is make it worst. Best thing to do is not think just go for it.when you think about your social anxiety before going out it is just gonna make you more nervous.
People gotta stop thinking we are just quiet and start to think about why
Ugh God hard relate on all of those symptoms, always a combination of 90% of them. As well as forgetting how to walk out of being so stiff with anxiety, forgetting how to eat for same reason. Losing all appetite in front of others. Becoming really pale or blushing. Dissociation if the anxiety gets very bad. Tension headaches (will feel like I have a fever). Forgetting how much eye contact is okay or not. Stress habits like biting skin off of lips, biting chunks out of the insides of my cheeks, scratching up and biting and peeling the skin off my fingers. Feeling of weakness like I can't hold up my head, because my neck is tense. Strong back pain from tension. Voice becoming high pitched because the throat is tense. Genuinely not being able to do schoolwork because the dizziness gets so bad I can barely sit up. Stomach gas. Energy being basically gone less than halfway through the day. Not daring to go outside for walks out of fear of meeting someone. Always being sure I'm doing something wrong and embarrassing myself.
Anxiety really really sucks - but since I started taking antidepressants against depression, my anxiety has also been very much lessened! There is hope, if anyone sees this and relates.
Glad to hear your treatment is starting to help your anxiety!
@@drali Thank you! After 3 previous ones who didn't help very much, I have a 4th, absolutely amazing psychologist now! Doing Neurofeedback and talk therapy, as well as take Sertraline & Voxra. Life feels so different from even last year!
Omg are you me? 😭 but i haven't got any help since i don't have money
@@sussiemiao3597 Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear, it really really really sucks 😞 The best advice I can give you, is that when you constantly have this level of anxiety, please do try extra hard (compared to other people) to make moments for yourself to calm down and take it easy, so you don't get burnout!!
Otherwise I just want to say I'm sending you hugs (if you're okay with them), that I know what it's like and I know how awful it can be, and I'm sorry you're going through that now 💔 If you ever need someone to talk to, I have a discord you could add me on (but disclaimer: I often have periods of time where answering DMs feels like too much, so I'm not the best at answering immediately!). I really don't wish this level of anxiety on anyone, ugh. You're doing great, I know how difficult it is and I'm proud of you for still doing what you already are! It will get better in the future
How does the dissociating present? Does it make you feel like things are not real and it’s all a dream? Because for me it can sometimes feel like I’m in a dream when I’m in social situations and it’s really freaking me out
Ive been bullied in my work because of my social anxiety.. it has ruined my life. Im 30 now. No job because I will just resign in a few months after getting the job, ive been jobhopping my wholelife, feels like Im running away and hiding from everything and everyone. useless and nowhere to go.. when Im in a social settings I freak out, I cant breathe so I will just hide in the bathroom and stay there alone.
Fight with your demons bro, dont run from them. 😉 If you are too weak, find somebody to help.
Simple.

The sh*ttiest thing ever is being an extrovert, that really wants to have fun with people but being scared of people
Yeah 💔🥺
@@mariamalzain3828 Have you found a solution to fight this disorder or are you getting any treatment?
I said yes to all except for substance abuse. I’m proud of myself that I did not give in and I hope that everyone who does deal with substance abuse is ok and can get away from it again
it is 7 for me and the worst part of social anxiety is that you are too afraid to admit it to others and your social anxiety never gets treated or diagnosed.
Life is so hard, i just want to disappear so that i won't have to go outside ಥ_ಥ
Pls fr me too😢
Anyone else ever get so nervous/ anxious that your legs start shaking uncontrollably and feel like jello? I was in the Navy and that happened almost every time I had a uniform inspection. I wish I would have gone to get checked out. It started off just being shy and quiet in school, but now I feel as though it consumes my entire life. I’m in the process of getting my documents together and finding a place where they can diagnose me (or not, in the off chance).
I ain't got enough fingers for this, Doc!
The planning thing is so accurate 😭😭
ngl all those things except me worrying about what others think about me but that planning things before it happen is on point i have full on rehearsals in my head before it happens💀
Thank you for doing these kind of Videos of this disorder i really appreciate your effort doctor Ali ❤️
yeah im 100% sure ive got social anxiety, had it for years but now im starting to understand it more
social anxiety sucks, being able to hide your emotions well is a thing i have aside from slightly shaking, and even so im mad at myself for feeling this way and for missing all of these experiences even though i know for a fact that its not my fault.
i haven't had a friend for three years now.
The time my parents realized I could potentially have social anxiety was when I was three. They were putting me into daycare but I would just cling onto them, unlike before, crying and throwing a tantrum. When the teachers got me away from my parents, no distraction worked. Everything that worked at home didn’t work there. I was crying all day apparently
And here I am, 12 years later, with social anxiety. ☺️☺️ help me
Me n u both....seems hopeless tbh...
@@Kassan18 For sure. It seems so hopeless. I literally stutter at the most useless stuff and get anxious over a small talk. It’s so frustrating
I started when I was 14 here I am 17 sucks 😪
@@useo.haessalit gets better if you work on it and understand the source of your issues and get saris also help
Oh crap! I knew I had stress and anxiety problems. Didn't realise it was to the point of being a disorder. Got to discuss this with my doctor on next visit.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
There are a lot of treatment options so discussing it with your doctor seems like a great next step
It’s was only recently I search my problems up. I thought I was extremely shy but when I read about it online it perfectly describes my life and why I’m like this. My whole life got ruined to the point I get these unnecessary suicide thoughts as an alternative to freedom even tho I personally am not suicidal. I’ve never been able to love or express my true feelings to her, even after 5 years she’s still stuck in my mind. Now I’m pretty ashamed of myself that I’m kinda hiding from friends and feeling super lonely, I hate it yet I can’t do much, but I found some happiness in the form of a human beast aka Mrbeast
I moved schools when I was little and I was the loud kid everyone kept telling to shut up. So I stopped speaking. Now (currently at a new school with much nicer people) I feel like if I don’t talk to my peers and avoid interaction I find across as arrogant and rude, but from my past experience being bullied I don’t want to speak. It only went as far as a few punches to my stomach, but I can’t control my fear of this happening again. I know everyone im currently friends with would never harm me unlike my old school, and im starting to feel comfortable around some of them I’ve been friends with for a couple years. However, strangers and even some of my friends sometimes leave me unable to speak and function. Even a “Hi” from a stranger can leave me in tears if I’m feeling stressed out. I do think there might be a small case of some sort of social anxiety, and I have reached out to adults about it. However I never told anyone what my old friends used to do.
If you made it this far thx for reading my vent ❤❤❤
6 expect last one. I find myself nail biting while I am nervous .
But in second one shaking is mine and heart races
I don't have social anxiety but I do worry about what to answer to people if they ask me my whereabouts, what I am doing, what's happening in my life where I am just stagnant in my life
This is so integrated into me it's strange to think that someone could score a zero answering these questions
I'm actually fine in work, with strangers also fine. But social situations with old "friends" or potential friends has me ruminating for weeks.
The best ivy been was in my early to mid 20s when I was most social. Now I'm so busy with work and family it's back and more crushing than ever.
Yesss I feel you. While at work or with strangers it’s easy to put on an act.. just be polite and professional. But when I have to socialize with people outside of that/when I’m not with close friends it gets tricky. When you ‘have to break the ice’ that’s the worst for me. Such a confidence breaker when things get awkward, I will be thinking back to what I could have said or how stupid something was that I said or did.
I was always ‘shy’, but for the past year I am most definitely sure I have social anxiety disorder, Ik I probably had it before but I didn’t notice and thought it was shyness. I rlly wanna get help, cause I’ve been rlly bad mentally. But I’m too scared. I just want it to end.
Why don't you wear three hole ski mask to reduce social anxiety?
You need to get a prescription from your doctor for an ssri that will help you
i have friends but outside my friend group i just cant talk and just stare at the ground because im scared
Bro my shit never turns off, 24/7. People, driving, going to get gas, trying to sleep. Hate it.
Dude I'm going through this and would like to talk to you.
thought i was the only one
I've been diagnosed with social anxiety. My therapist wants me to get out more. I refuse, I'm happy on my own at home. I don't fit in society
you should get out. i isolated myself for nearly a decade, and started regretting it after the long time of solitude.
after a very long time i'm finally getting a chance to meet people in the real world, in a few days. though i'm worrying this experience will remind me as to why i isolated myself in the first place
Just try it
6 lol. The good thing is though is that I don’t do drugs or alcohol, I just get through it in my own way, I really love listening to music in and out of the house so that always really helps me relax. 💖
It’s like people think I am weird or extremely introverted.. truth is I am just worrying about what you think about what I am saying. I overthink about a previous thing I said and if it has affected you now or the way you feel about me. I find myself swallowing a lot or getting butterflies, especially when talking to you in a very bright room. Then I start questioning how to look into your eyes.. where to look on your face. Then I just look at the floor cause it’s too awkward to look..
This is just me, and I've been struggling with this for so soooo long. It's uncontrollable and horrible. But have to live with it.
I can be around people at work or the gym where the focus isn’t on having fun or relaxing. I’ve learned to be cordial and charming in short interactions but anything over 2 minutes and my nerves are fried and I just want to leave.
I live by everyword this man said. calling me out like that makes me tear up fr
Im not sure I’m scared of how people perceive me necessarily at least in most situations but instead what they might do. I’ve never been a real trusting person and I’m almost always concerned someone may do something to harm me in some shape or form.
I guess I have social anxiety.. When I know something extra, or have extra knowledge about someone, I fear of saying it in front of everyone! This is why I don't participate in any function rn! I am trying to heal, by meditation and expressing myself to my friends! My friends try to help me too!
7/7 I got a 100% on the test 🎉
OMG I SAW YOU ON EXPLAINED
that's me!
6/7, I just don't use substances. But I do stress eat immediately after any social situations, if that counts 😅
6.. yup it's difficult and i have my bad days and good days.. bad days include not looking at anybody's(strangers) eyes or even their heads because im scared / my social anxiety acting up and i dont know how to talk to them
I can’t even count on fingers and toes too many of all of the above. My heart races muscles stiff, it’s so hard. I love staying home but think about fun things to do that usually involves unfamiliar people.
I literally feel like all of these. It surprised me even more about the planning out what ima say and using alcohol and cannabis to cope cause thats the only time i have confidence
I had 7 fingers down is that bad
My short height boosted my social anxiety to ita peak
6 😭 I already know I have social anxiety but my mum won’t take me to a doctor because I’m too afraid to ask
I am now concerned I had 5 fingers up , i have a decent home life , I just have been told things by others , I have now been told I am a introvert by my friends now seeing multiple videos telling me I might have it make me scared rn
i have social anxiety disorder. when i go outside or at school i can't talk to anyone. even for making friends in new school i took lot time even 3 months to make proper friends. when there my license test for biking. my accerlerate got jamed and i was shaking for that incident of accident that 2 days. i was breathing heavily. when i go for social gathering or festival. i sit alone. that my father don't like. he used to tell that how shy i am
All but I am already diagnosed with social anxiety 🙃
How do I fix it ? Or what do I do ? Since I was a kid being sent to kindergarten. First day I did not go to class I went as far as Hiding in a bush all day to avoid people it was too much for me when the bell rang in the afternoon I ran home. I’ve battled my mind all my life to try and be normal
Try taking ssri medication or smoke some weed it helps
Is it ok that I am young and have social anxiety 😥
That’s ok. It often starts during the teenage years.
6 fingers lmfao 😭
When I try to speak out loud, my throat tightens, and I can't talk,even if I want to try. When I am forced to speak, my voice comes out shakily
All of them.. except last
Same also I m suffering, it effects me everywhere😢😢😢, a barrier of my carrier and my personal life😭😭
Was anyone here just like 🤔🫢😬
I have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder before, but I had a lot of fingers raised here o_o
6, thank God at least I haven't resorted to using drugs because that might make it worse. My anxiety varies day by day, but it never truly goes away. At its worst, I developed some kind of an agoraphobia where I despised the idea of going out and I spent probably weeks indoors :S

Dr Ali, can you do a video about adhd?
I got 6, I have been relating with ALOT of things people with social anxiety have so i think I have Social Anxiety.
Yep all of those are what I have. I don't know what to do and it's been messing me up
I can't face any unknown person. If i have to do i get nervous my hands sarted shaking my eyes get full of tears and i face difficulty in breathing
Can you do video on “ what if thinking” for people with GAD 🙏
Def, it’s in the pipeline 🙌🏽
I have 7 fingers up
Just 1 to 2 weeks ago… my mother threw a big party and I participated for a while… but as more people started to come I decided to go up to my room for a while….. after a hour I wanted to eat snack but I had to go down to the party to get some 🙄☹️ so I went down and there were more people now… and I awkwardly greeted some people.. I was even holding a water bottle in my armpit 😂 and water started gushing out.. I got some chips in a plate and was just standing around looking mad awkward.. i saw all my moms friends and my brother’s friends and family.. ughhh it was so awkward for me I didn’t wanna be there… I wanted to go back upstairs but I didn’t wanna be rude by doing that… it’s kinda messed up to just come downstairs for chips at a party and not spend time with family.. I felt like crying and I couldn’t breathe properly.. I tried to calm down and figure out what to do next
I saw my sister sitting down and I quickly got a chair to sit next to her and I just quickly played on my phone for a while.. I only spoke like a few sentences to my sister 😂
Eventually I had the opportunity to go back to my room and I started crying thinking about life… later on my sister came in and asked why I’m in here.. why haven’t I been downstairs
She forgot I was down there for a while because I was so quiet 😑.. that happens all the time at big family parties.. no one really calls my name unless they need something or to take pictures 🙄 and it’s because for years and years i just stay in my room most of the time when it comes to parties.. I’m pretty sure my parents and siblings understand by now I’m
Not a people person
I do ALL of this because of my social anxiety. Drinking and weed also help me manage my PTSD but I’m really trying to quit
I see kids around me getting jobs, and girlfriends and I am to scared to even talk to the teacher sometimes
I'm having this also I use limited and poor vocab while speaking
5 I have never done any objects to cope my pillow isn’t enough to hide me
Oh well that's just lovely.... Imma ignore it because it's not like people would believe me or anything so there's no point in focusing on it
You don’t need people to believe you just need to better yourself
I got 6, I used to think it’s just Social Anxiety but now I think it grew to just be Anxiety in general
I have all of these except alcohol/drugs (I’m still in middle school so I can’t)
I have a disorder?
Man I holded up 7 💀
Why not wear a three-hole ski mask(silk type) to reduce social anxiety disorder?
About three
Holding up zero but I’m also a Scorpio Mercury so yea there’s that😅
I want a therapist so bad crying
I’m holding up 8 fingers no wonder I start trembling Im when I’m around people
Yes I have GAD so rip
People say I’m really quiet
6 fingers are held up 😢
I hold up all the fingers lol
i have 7 fingers up, HMMMMMM, IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY
So what can I do about it??????
Sir, I've ran out of fingers.
all of my fingers!
How about paranoia and social awkward?
6 for me
I had 5
I have it realy bad
Social Anxiety is hard for me because it prevents me from living the life I want
When social anxiety starts to get in the way of your life, that's usually when it goes beyond what's expected and becomes a disorder.
@Doctor Ali Thanks for responding!
That's the one that got me.
I had 6 fingers up 😢 I might have social anxiety…
Based on this, I don´t have social anxiety disorder, I am social anxiety disorder 😂
All 6 😩
