    i think emma might have forgotten to put time stamps in the description, so here you go: 💕
    1:43 - the cause + love yourself
    3:24 - expanding your comfort zone
    6:24 - don’t isolate yourself
    7:23 - people aren’t judging you
    8:34 - stop overthinking
    9:46 - starting fresh
    11:48 - opposites attract
    13:25 - it’s okay to have setbacks

    Oo yes! I’m quite a quiet person, and it always annoys me when people say “your shy aren’t u” and I know they don’t mean it in a mean way, but it still annoys my anyway, as it’s the thing I hate most of myself, and I’m trying so hard to make myself less shy!, thank you for posting this, I loved hearing your story xo

    Emma thank you so much for this. I don't want to make this all about me but I am really shy I can't talk to anyone normally and that has lead to anxiety. I struggle to even get to school anymore and its been pretty bad. But when I started watching you you would make me smile and it helped so much I am now getting the help I need because of you. I am now opening up to family and getting better every day. Just wanted to thank you for that xx

  • @meganpell2375

    This was definitely for me. Thank you so much. Recently I’ve come to the realization that I’m not myself when I’m around people I don’t know that much (mostly cause I’m not confident and not comfortable showing people who I really am). I’ve always been super shy but I’ve always HATED it. So I’m slowly working towards being myself and letting go. This was so helpful. THANK YOU

I always have a hard time getting myself to not sprint through the mall when im bymyself shopping because im so nervous about being alone in public i litterally get tired shopping bymyself because im walking so fast breathing heavier panicking (even just at walmart) now i work at walmart and im starting to get used to it 😅

I appreciate all of your advice and I hopefully will start to incorporated it into my everyday life. - thank you, Mia 😊

  • @adi.ackermann

    I was just binge watching your old videos, and stumbled across this one. I clicked on it immediately because I knew it was for me. I watched the entire video last night and every single thing you just mentioned, made SO much sense. Although I do excellent with class speeches and such, I still am never able to talk to other people besides my immediate family and friends. I've missed out on NUMEROUS, LIFE-CHANGING events and opportunities, due to my shyness.-- I can't tell the waiter my order, without not looking at his eyes and whispering under my breath. I can't go out with my family and another family without them calling me a mouse, or ,"She's so quiet. Is she taking a vow of silence?''. I cant even say, ''Good, and you'' because I feel so intimidated by them. I've told my mum I wanted to pursue acting ( i still do), and she told me, "How can you do acting, when you can't even talk to someone.'' And that really had an effect on my self-esteem.
    Listening to what i just wrote, makes me think about it more, and realize how silly I was being. I'm only 13...and yes, I know that's kinda small to be feeling ''shy''...but that's just the way it is. But after watching this video, I've come to my senses and realized that people aren't judging me and why should I care if they even are? I've also realized that i only have one shot at doing something, and i will try my very best to not let my shyness overcome me. I will try and gradually push myself up, and be the best me i could possibly be.
    Emma, if you're reading this...(thank you for making it this far, lol) i just want to say, this video has helped me tremendously. Thank you so so much for sharing this. It made me realize that I'm not alone. This video is so inspirational. You're my new role model ;) THANK U
    (also, i got braces like a week ago, and you're braces videos also helped me a lot, lol. thank you)
    Keep well,
    Lots of love ;)

    I’d have some more confidence if:
    I didn’t have a tooth gap although it’s so tiny but still!
    If I had longer nails cuz I’m a nail biter...
    And hmm if dropped a few kilos (like 4kg I guess).
    I wasn’t so shy jeez haha
    I’m not looking for attention here btw, just wanted to write it all down y’know ♥️

    • @beach822
      @beach822 5 лет назад +6

      Youre probably the only one who actually cares about your gap, a lot of chances are that people don't even notice it. And even if they do, they don't really care and mind it at all. A lot of people have gaps! Its no big deal, appreciate the rest of your appearance, focus and be thankful for the features you love!

    I've been out of school since May 22nd and I've basically isolated myself in my room, just browsing the Internet or just going on my phone. I want to hang out with friends, but some of them are on summer vacation in another country/state and I'm not really allowed to hang out with friends unless my parents know their parents.. like really well, and I don't have any siblings. I would walk outside and get fresh air, but it's been storming since June and I'd only go outside to take out the trash.
