When anxiety said she was just trying to protect Riley 😭 that’s the saddest thing it’s so destructive in so many ways but it really is your brain trying to protect you
She already know her plan is not going to work then Riley new self has created. She just tried to act like everything is good for the others would't worry, and hopping she can fix it later, or nothing happen that makes the situation worst. If you think about it, nothing "bad" would happen if Riley doesn't run over and hit her ex friend. Maybe Anxiety made Riley shoot the 3th goal, some member of the team would be angry to Riley but nothing bad would happen.
This is a genuine and real depiction of a genuine panic attack of your life, a panic attack is serious and you need to get help when you have a panic attack
i think they could have done a better job with what happens inside your head during a panic attack. maybe everyone experiences them differently but i usually get horrible voices and intrusive thoughts in my head that are disgusting and disturbing and they don’t stop
@@iatecalli I think it's intresting that you say that, because I was thiking the same thing but now reading your comment I don't fully know if I agree? I have panic attacks too and the panicked state is a lot like Riley but unlike her I can't settle myself down. I usually end up crying and screaming and needing someone to calm me down. (or in Riley scenerio I'd run away from the public space and have a break down there) But then I realized like, everyone actually experiences panic attacks diffrently and I Riley has very clearly not dealt with anxiety long enough for it to get that bad (I know my anxiety was not as bad as it is now when I was younger)
@@diamondprincessbeaut7283 I had the firsts of my life in the last two month and I really felt like her. Tbh when I saw this scene I started crying and said to my relatives "this is what I feel everytime". The hand on the heart made me really feel like I was watching myself... Still unlike @iatecalli I don"t hear voices but since my first anxiety attack I have consantly "horrible" thoughts like I have the fear of an illness and constantly living with the fear of dying and during an attack I really feel and think that I am going to die in that precise moment. Eventually this scenre was really accurate.
@@iatecallibut the “i’m not good enough” was a intrusive thought, you need to remember that this is still a kids animation so obviously they wouldn’t put some darker thoughts
Same, i started crying because i felt that, not trying to say im the main character. But i just can’t believe so many people go through the same things i do, and it just makes me feel better
And here’s some extra details about this scene… This one scene alone took like 25 meetings and the VA for anxiety went through a panic attack herself while on set
It’s sad how Anxiety isn’t doing this to be antagonistic on purpose. They just wanted to help. It’s like a defensive technique that ends up tearing you apart. Anxiety from cptsd is kind of like that sometimes. It’s interesting to see media portray anxiety as a character not necessarily as a monster or an enemy, but like an abused dog that’s used to lashing out to protect itself, even when it’s already been rescued. Or like in this, as someone with good intentions that becomes frantic or controlling as they keep trying to fix a sinking ship they caused to sink. Because “they can still fix this” and “they HAVE to fix this NOW”
The "you don't get to choose who Riley is" line is very important here. YOU should never let all your anxiety thoughts turn into your believes about yourself. YOU'RE NOT not good enough. YOU'RE NOT a bad person. It's only anxiety making her stupid projections. And the best way to battle it is making good projections as well. Make it your exercise and see for yourself.
Very well said. I don’t wanna get too personal but the pandemic hit me like an avalanche and I couldn’t attend my college classes in person. And during this scene the first time I watched the movie, I kinda felt a panic attack myself
I tried that for literally 25 years, and it never worked one single time. I finally found relief in THERAPY. MEDICATION. and LIFE CHANGE. not positive thoughts.
Ok but joy finally letting all of rileys true emotions show was so heartwarming. She realized she was doing the same thing, controlling riley to feel one way only all the time
I almost cried, I relate to this scene, I’ve had panic attacks and anxiety since middle school, also because of bullying, now high school is making my anxiety worse, to the point that I often go to the bathroom to have panic attacks, nobody takes me seriously, only my friends do, I’m afraid of telling my own parents about this, or the teachers, and I’m also getting bullied. I can’t take it anymore.
Sadness! Joy help come on we can do this! It’s not working! It’s anxiety! Anxiety stop! You don’t get to choose who Riley is! Anxiety? You need to let her go I’m a good person
I like that they highlighted on how she grounded herself you can see she’s using her senses. She touched the bench she’s sitting on, she hears the sounds, and she’s taking breaths. The 54321 (or 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) method is a grounding exercise designed to manage acute stress and reduce anxiety. It involves identifying 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.
I saw this film yesterday and it was very good. Anxiety said she was trying to protect Riley, but what she did was hurt her and the people she loves. The scene where Riley is having a panic attack while in the penalty box can happen to anyone in the world.
@latetootheparty Yeah what's interesting to me is I never considered the role anxiety has in our lives as anything other than a negative emotion. Like it shows in the end, Anxiety tries to protect us from the possible things that could happen in the future. Too much anxiety leads to an infinite number of negative outcomes you feel helpless to prevent. Just enough helps you recognize and identify the potential pitfalls of one's current actions. Like failing a test. Joy helps Anxiety calmly identify the things that are not in control and things that are in control. Without anxiety, Riley might not care enough to consider her future at all and only live in the present.
It’s amazing how accurately these movies managed to portray anxiety attacks and depression. The console turning grey in the first movie after Riley decides to run away and sadness being the only one one who can remove the idea from the console. Anxiety whirling around like a tornado but also frozen in fear. It really hits when you watch them as an adult Edited to add: I also appreciate how fatigued Anxiety is after she is able to let go of the console, I suffered a mild panic attack at work about a month ago and after it was over I was so tired it was an effort just to keep my eyes open.
@@HeroTheHedgehog999 I was feeling Riley when she had her panic attack. I relate to that. I'm always pondering. Sure, I felt like tearing up when the panic attack began, but when the emotions hugged Riley's true sense of self, I started crying.
Whoa, that was brutal when Riley ended up hurting Grace, and had to cause both her and Anxiety some kinda panic attack. One more thing, who knew this is what was missing into making a sequel successful, a good tearjerker, which was Riley confessing her true feelings towards Bree and Grace, her wanting Joy, and forming her true sense of self. Okay, wow, this sequel should've happened years ago, I mean, imagine some failed or unnecessary Pixar movies/sequels due to bad writing never existed.
Too bad Pixar is going down the unnecessary sequels route after this movie. This was a sequel that deserved to be made because Inside Out is an idea that feels it can be expanded upon. However, it may be the only good sequel alongside Toy story 2 and 3.
@@matthewquach2705 actually, if we're being honest, Toy Story 4 was pretty good too, but not the fifth one coming out soon, whether it actually is unnecessary or has something to do with one of those cash grabbers/cash cows, not to mention, Monster's University seems kinda unnecessary for a sequel and never should've started the Cars franchise due to the second movie being a disaster.
@@punnavieira1681 Toy Story 5 is really unnecessary since 4 served as the perfect epilogue /ending for Woody. The third movie even had its place as the official ending for all of Andy's toys since they were part of a new kid's life. I feel like a fifth movie wouldn't do well since there really isn't a story to tell with the Toy gang's arcs already having been wrapped up .If they really wanted to make more Toy Story content , they should've stuck with the shorts and introduced new characters instead of focusing on only Woody and the toy gang. Also Monsters University was good for its moral message but fumbled towards the middle with the scare games and was not realistic in singling Mike as the only monster who wasn't scary.
Its hard for me to admit this, but this childs movie helped me realize that I have to let my spouse go & get divorced. My anxiety is the only reason why it even got this far😢
It's not a 'kid's film' persay. It's an all ages appropriate movie. Why It's so good - in my opinion - is in part because adults can also relate to it, like you seem to. It's really well done.
That’s totally okay. I work at a DV shelter, and trust me, parting ways when things don’t feel good is an extremely healthy thing. It takes a lot of strength, and I’m proud of you for allowing yourself to reach this conclusion. You deserve to feel safe and happy.
I’ve suffered from panic and anxiety attacks for 10 years now. I’m in my 30’s. Haven’t seen this movie yet but this was a spot on way to describe them. Your brain is scrambling in a million different directions all with the ultimate goal of keeping you the body safe from harm. Just doesn’t feel that way at the time
We can’t get rid of bad memories because we have to balance between good and bad memories to be part of us. Anxiety and Joy both want the same thing, they want Riley to be happy. But they can’t choose who Riley is.
The entire movie was so on point... I hate how much I saw myself in it. From that mindset of I'm not good enough, to the fierce urge to be better, freaking out about everything, every single detail This is seriously one of the best and most touching film I ever saw
That tear of regret said it all when Anxiety realized that she was being the bad guy and hurting Riley when she just REALLY wanted to protect Riley from the worst that could happen. My dad said an anxiety attack is really bad for a teenager and it’s true. I was just always glad Anxiety learned her lesson. Love you Inside Out 2 ❤😊
I still thought the first Inside Out was the better film overall, but the anxiety attack scene was one of the most brilliant visual metaphors I've ever seen in an animated film. This and the movie Soul are the only times in the last few years where I feel like I'm seeing classic Oscar-worthy Pixar again.
This scene hands down is the perfect representation of anxiety. The visual of her going backwards and forwards across the console so fast that she's out of control is so much like how my anxiety is 🥺😭😭😭
I'm a 35 year old man. I don't think I've ever been touched by a Pixar movie the way this has. I definitely shed a few tears at this scene. Anxiety is rough, and this is a great representation of it.
Flash: Not to brag, but I'm the winner for the fastest person of the year. Sonic: Oh, really? I could beat you in less than a second. Anxiety: I could beat both of you guys. Flash and Sonic: Oh, yeah? (Anxiety proves them wrong!)
I was going through mental health issues and when I saw this movie, it really helped and made me love the movie even more, the people at Pixar really know how to pull the strings
Same but at the same time my story is different as my “Friends” turned out to be fake and last year for me was a disaster because when I moved on from them and blocked them they got really upset and then I ended up getting called out and I lost seven followers because of that and since then I’ve suffered a lot of mental health issues because of that. To this day, I still have the burden, but I’m still in recovery especially since I’ve had emotional breakdowns because of this.

Anti-villain is more accurate. She caused a lot of harm, but she only did what she thought was best for Riley. She's a lot similar to Joy in that regard.
Well she was the villain, but didn’t actually really mean it because like Joy, all she wanted was to keep Riley save from the worst things that could happen
same it instantly triggered diaphragm spasm to me arround 0:45 in the theatre they nailed it so well we can spot the attack from the breathing alone...
Meanwhile: me having panick attacks once a month because I never had a boyfriend and still struggle with my childhood traumas at almost 30 AND watched this scene by myself which almost left me crying. Some of us can't even grab a hand for support. You just have to let go and accept it may always be this way. But it's hard, especially when others can testify they have access to what you don't...
I love Riley’s panic attack, and the way her sense of self keeps saying “I’m not good enough.” That thought combined with Anxiety trying to help, but only making it worse, caused her panic to intensify. Anxiety apologized, saying she was just trying to protect her. But Joy was right. Riley has to choose for herself who she wants to be. Riley’s heartbeat slowly returned to normal. She took deep breaths to calm herself.
Totally makes sense when you have too much anxiety, you get palpitations in the heart rate which is a panic attack. I once had a panic attack like that and it took maybe a week for the palpitations to stop on its own. Anxiety sure did panic and tried to get Riley to get it together but she only made it worse by putting too much pressure on her. When she tried to make a new Riley, the Sense of Self went into Self Doubt which makes Riley feel like she’ll not be good enough. Which is why she was getting pressured by Anxiety and it becomes worse.
I don't have anxiety, but holy hell. At 2:01, seeing Anxiety moving so fast that it's impercieveable while simultaneously being stuck in one place unable to move REALLY got to me in my core. I can't explain it.
Maybe its just me. But when Riley starts touching the bench got to me. Its the sensation of touching something that brings you back down to reality and to get you focused on that one thing while your mind reboots itself after the attack.
“Anxiety… you need to let her go…” such a powerful moment we can all relate to at some point in our lives. A lot of people will say the original of any movie is always better than the sequel which is true for the most part, but not this one. I bought it as soon as it was available because it’s just that good. Awesome work DP 👌
Smart way of showing how grounding can help break an anxiety attack. Riley touching the bench and hearing the sounds of the hockey stick and ice skates, it made her come again to her senses.
I love how they depict this.. Anxiety is 1000 places at once, but she's also frozen at the console. As someone who suffers from anxiety attacks I felt this was so accurate. Your mind is feeding you panic, and you can't do anything about it until it passes
Probably my favorite movie. I cried during this scene (As a grown man watching with the family) I suffer from anxiety and when it gets this bad, my mind literally is like anxiety. It just stops, but i'm still functioning, trying to fix everything and make everything better, all while feeling "fried, or stuck" it's so weird. But this, this is such an accurate depiction.
Anxiety couldn’t see Grace but that just goes back to when she said Fear protected Riley from the stuff she CAN see. If Fear was there Riley would never hit her in the first place. Unfortunately Anxiety’s need to protect Riley in her way kept her from remembering that. One of my favorite scenes
Me and my friend were in tears during this scene because it was too real for both of us. He’s 25 and I’m 21 and we were holding each other’s hands and crying because of how we were feeling the anxiety attack
3:48 the way she touches the wood to try to ground herself. i just can't get over it, this is one of the best depictions of an anxiety attack I've ever seen. all of it. it's just perfect. hits too hard.
hits even harder when you get to experience them on a weekly (almost daily) basis. anxiety is such a "funny" feeling. you're only able to focus on what _could_ happen, and you just end by forgetting what _is_ happening. when you realize that, you're trying to fix things for a minute, then you understand it's too late, and you just lose it. unable to do things. unable to call for help. just you versus yourself. when this scene came up, i not only cried for riley, but also for anxiety herself - the breaking moment being when she started tearing up. i could only relate, when the heartbeats started i knew what was coming. this is such a powerful film, amazing how everything is just perfectly placed. they really did a crazy job - i can only applaude them for picturing such a complex feeling in a "kids" cartoon somehow. so happy we can spread more awareness about it 💙
God this was a worthy sequel to the first film, which is an absolute classic, it’s so much more relatable. Anxiety was such a great character. Her shedding that tear and saying she was only trying to protect Riley BROKE me. So did the scene with Joy about getting older. Amazing film
As someone about the same age as Riley, his is the first time I've genuinely related to a movie. This movie perfectly captured the emotional aspect of growing up
At twenty-five years old a few months ago, I went to see this movie with my mom and grandmother and as someone who suffers anxiety and had THREE PANIC ATTACKS in the same month a few months ago, I related to Anxiety and Riley and thought something like, "Okay, this was me during my last two panic attacks." I just turned twenty-six and I think that it can help out other people suffering from anxiety and help develop empathy for those don't have it, especially if they have one or more loved ones going through this or did in the past. I don't think I'll ever forget that scene and how it made me feel. Oh, and I'm also autistic. I like how Anxiety wasn't evil and that her intentions were good. Because if she was evil, she would have DESTROYED the other emotions and made Riley A LOT WORSE and her anxiety untreatable. Riley would probably experience a severe breakdown of irreparable and irreversible damage if Anxiety was a bad gal. Anxiety could have destroyed Sadness when she caught her but instead put her in a bucket in mid-air and never intended to harm her or the other emotions.
Two and a half months ago, I saw Inside Out 2. My feelings were hardly optimistic, but either on account of the opening scene, the hysterically funny Bloofy and Pouchy scene, or the "realistic depiction of a panic attack", and the idea of letting Riley be a very flawed person yet still succeed in making you care about her, it felt to me like a return to the old days of Pixar. Riley running into Grace is the 2020s equivalent to Lightning insulting Radiator Springs or Woody trying to knock Buzz out the window. I'll freely say that Pixar has had a rough time creatively in the past near-decade, but Inside Out 2 shows major improvement.
The best depiction of don't let emotions control you (the way Joy and Anxiety were unintentionally controlling Riley) and you should control your emotions (depicted in the scene where Riley's Console calls Joy).
honestly its not that people’s writing are getting worse it’s that your reading skills are getting worse 💀 this is so easy to read its literally just the fact that there is 2 of the word “Riley”
She isnt a villain Never was Anxiety is due to over-stimulation and chemical overload she is just there to be a defense mechanism from breaking down Inside Out has never had villains, thats kinda the point
Everything on this list is so accurate. I also thought Powder’s panic attack and/or mental breakdown in Arcane when everyone left her behind to fight was really well done too
Anxiety is that destructive I had an anxiety attack and I Don't wish anyone have one in their life. I learned a good technique on how to stop mine from going bad.
When anxiety said she was just trying to protect Riley 😭 that’s the saddest thing it’s so destructive in so many ways but it really is your brain trying to protect you
But if your brain is too overprotective it can go into overdrive 😢😢😭😭
yes that sentence made me bawl 😢😢
What is bawl?
@@brianlee3357 It means like heavy crying
The body often harms you when it tries to protect you.

@@punnavieira1681 Toy Story 5 is really unnecessary since 4 served as the perfect epilogue /ending for Woody. The third movie even had its place as the official ending for all of Andy's toys since they were part of a new kid's life. I feel like a fifth movie wouldn't do well since there really isn't a story to tell with the Toy gang's arcs already having been wrapped up .If they really wanted to make more Toy Story content , they should've stuck with the shorts and introduced new
characters instead of focusing on only Woody and the toy gang. Also Monsters University was good for its moral message but fumbled towards the middle with the scare games and was not realistic in singling Mike as the only monster who wasn't scary.
@@punnavieira1681Toy Story 4 should have never happened
Its hard for me to admit this, but this childs movie helped me realize that I have to let my spouse go & get divorced. My anxiety is the only reason why it even got this far😢
It's not a 'kid's film' persay. It's an all ages appropriate movie. Why It's so good - in my opinion - is in part because adults can also relate to it, like you seem to. It's really well done.
@@jayda3335 It can help to talk to someone about it. Come to terms with it and all.
That’s totally okay. I work at a DV shelter, and trust me, parting ways when things don’t feel good is an extremely healthy thing. It takes a lot of strength, and I’m proud of you for allowing yourself to reach this conclusion. You deserve to feel safe and happy.
I’ve suffered from panic and anxiety attacks for 10 years now. I’m in my 30’s. Haven’t seen this movie yet but this was a spot on way to describe them. Your brain is scrambling in a million different directions all with the ultimate goal of keeping you the body safe from harm. Just doesn’t feel that way at the time
I hope you are doing ok
We can’t get rid of bad memories because we have to balance between good and bad memories to be part of us.
Anxiety and Joy both want the same thing, they want Riley to be happy. But they can’t choose who Riley is.
The entire movie was so on point... I hate how much I saw myself in it. From that mindset of I'm not good enough, to the fierce urge to be better, freaking out about everything, every single detail
This is seriously one of the best and most touching film I ever saw
That tear of regret said it all when Anxiety realized that she was being the bad guy and hurting Riley when she just REALLY wanted to protect Riley from the worst that could happen. My dad said an anxiety attack is really bad for a teenager and it’s true. I was just always glad Anxiety learned her lesson. Love you Inside Out 2 ❤😊
You have a responsibility to the people that you care about. The decision is final, when you step in and tell someone, so does not happen again.
I still thought the first Inside Out was the better film overall, but the anxiety attack scene was one of the most brilliant visual metaphors I've ever seen in an animated film. This and the movie Soul are the only times in the last few years where I feel like I'm seeing classic Oscar-worthy Pixar again.
This scene hands down is the perfect representation of anxiety. The visual of her going backwards and forwards across the console so fast that she's out of control is so much like how my anxiety is 🥺😭😭😭
I'm a 35 year old man. I don't think I've ever been touched by a Pixar movie the way this has. I definitely shed a few tears at this scene. Anxiety is rough, and this is a great representation of it.
“I’m not good enough.” I saw this movie last night and that line broke my heart.
I did one or two nights ago, and same here. The way she said it.
I started crying because this has happened to me. This movie depicted what it's like perfectly.
Flash: Not to brag, but I'm the winner for the fastest person of the year.
Sonic: Oh, really? I could beat you in less than a second.
Anxiety: I could beat both of you guys.
Flash and Sonic: Oh, yeah?
(Anxiety proves them wrong!)
I was going through mental health issues and when I saw this movie, it really helped and made me love the movie even more, the people at Pixar really know how to pull the strings
This scene really hit me so hard that I even had two panic attacks and it goes to show you that this is so common for some people
Hits me hard especially as it relates to my fears of my disappointing and losing my friends 💔. Masterpiece ❤
Same but at the same time my story is different as my “Friends” turned out to be fake and last year for me was a disaster because when I moved on from them and blocked them they got really upset and then I ended up getting called out and I lost seven followers because of that and since then I’ve suffered a lot of mental health issues because of that.
To this day, I still have the burden, but I’m still in recovery especially since I’ve had emotional breakdowns because of this.
anxiety realize that you dont get to choose who riley is and i almost cry 😭😭😭💔❤
is literally no one gonna talk about how epic is music in this scene? whole movie has lots of wonderful soundtracks and i really appreciate it 🧡
She made me cry. I love anxiety. I hated her at first but she’s like every other emotion. They all are important. 🥺😭
This is possibly the first Pixar in a while to make me tear up and I’m 21. This perfectly sums up how it feels with anxiety.

People say that anxiety is the villian she not only just do thing risk for riley but didn't expect it to go that way
a character like her is moer accurately called an antagonist. she runs count to the main chracters. but she is not malicious.
I second this. An antagonist doesn't equal a villain nor does a protagonist equal a hero either.
Anti-villain is more accurate. She caused a lot of harm, but she only did what she thought was best for Riley. She's a lot similar to Joy in that regard.
@@nicholasemjohnson47 Agreed. Anxiety would be a prime example of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Well she was the villain, but didn’t actually really mean it because like Joy, all she wanted was to keep Riley save from the worst things that could happen
I almost had an anxiety attack watching this, it was that good. Had to grab my boyfriends hand for support.
Omg I thought it was just me! I was trying so hard not to freak out bc I didn’t want my friends to see me have an attack
Same here I was at a trip my school calls a CBI
that scene almost became contagious
same it instantly triggered diaphragm spasm to me arround 0:45 in the theatre
they nailed it so well we can spot the attack from the breathing alone...
Meanwhile: me having panick attacks once a month because I never had a boyfriend and still struggle with my childhood traumas at almost 30 AND watched this scene by myself which almost left me crying.
Some of us can't even grab a hand for support. You just have to let go and accept it may always be this way. But it's hard, especially when others can testify they have access to what you don't...
2:23 S-SHE STARTED TO CRY
AHHH NOOOOO ☠️☠️☠️
I also cry during panic attacks.
I love Riley’s panic attack, and the way her sense of self keeps saying “I’m not good enough.” That thought combined with Anxiety trying to help, but only making it worse, caused her panic to intensify. Anxiety apologized, saying she was just trying to protect her. But Joy was right. Riley has to choose for herself who she wants to be. Riley’s heartbeat slowly returned to normal. She took deep breaths to calm herself.
It hurts seeing that behind the walls of the panic attack cyclone, we see that Anxiety is in just as much pain and just as scared as Riley.
Totally makes sense when you have too much anxiety, you get palpitations in the heart rate which is a panic attack.
I once had a panic attack like that and it took maybe a week for the palpitations to stop on its own.
Anxiety sure did panic and tried to get Riley to get it together but she only made it worse by putting too much pressure on her.
When she tried to make a new Riley, the Sense of Self went into Self Doubt which makes Riley feel like she’ll not be good enough. Which is why she was getting pressured by Anxiety and it becomes worse.
I don't have anxiety, but holy hell. At 2:01, seeing Anxiety moving so fast that it's impercieveable while simultaneously being stuck in one place unable to move REALLY got to me in my core. I can't explain it.
Don’t let your fear own you.
You know what I think? I think that both Riley and Anxiety needs comfort and relaxation.
Maybe its just me. But when Riley starts touching the bench got to me. Its the sensation of touching something that brings you back down to reality and to get you focused on that one thing while your mind reboots itself after the attack.
This is so moving. I love that she bounced back and got through it.
“Anxiety… you need to let her go…” such a powerful moment we can all relate to at some point in our lives. A lot of people will say the original of any movie is always better than the sequel which is true for the most part, but not this one. I bought it as soon as it was available because it’s just that good. Awesome work DP 👌

As someone who deals with Anixety and panic attacks they did a good job.
This perfectly captures the feeling of an anxiety/panic attack. Beautifully done.
1:03 The call of duty experience be like
Smart way of showing how grounding can help break an anxiety attack. Riley touching the bench and hearing the sounds of the hockey stick and ice skates, it made her come again to her senses.
The Pixar did the panic attack so perfectly!!
I love how they depict this.. Anxiety is 1000 places at once, but she's also frozen at the console. As someone who suffers from anxiety attacks I felt this was so accurate. Your mind is feeding you panic, and you can't do anything about it until it passes
Probably my favorite movie. I cried during this scene (As a grown man watching with the family) I suffer from anxiety and when it gets this bad, my mind literally is like anxiety. It just stops, but i'm still functioning, trying to fix everything and make everything better, all while feeling "fried, or stuck" it's so weird. But this, this is such an accurate depiction.
Anxiety couldn’t see Grace but that just goes back to when she said Fear protected Riley from the stuff she CAN see. If Fear was there Riley would never hit her in the first place. Unfortunately Anxiety’s need to protect Riley in her way kept her from remembering that. One of my favorite scenes
I cried SO HARD at this scene in the theater.
I have really bad anxiety of never being good enough and anxiety in this movie really hit home for me
The part where Joy gives Sadness Riley’s old sense of self to show that Sadness is truly Joy’s best friend
How deep it was when Joy realized that she too can't choose who Riley is. Perfection.
0:47 I can fix it i can Fix it!
I’m not good enough
Come on Riley! Get it together!
Me and my friend were in tears during this scene because it was too real for both of us. He’s 25 and I’m 21 and we were holding each other’s hands and crying because of how we were feeling the anxiety attack
Anxiety is keep killing Riley!
3:48 the way she touches the wood to try to ground herself. i just can't get over it, this is one of the best depictions of an anxiety attack I've ever seen. all of it. it's just perfect. hits too hard.
hits even harder when you get to experience them on a weekly (almost daily) basis.
anxiety is such a "funny" feeling. you're only able to focus on what _could_ happen, and you just end by forgetting what _is_ happening. when you realize that, you're trying to fix things for a minute, then you understand it's too late, and you just lose it. unable to do things. unable to call for help. just you versus yourself.
when this scene came up, i not only cried for riley, but also for anxiety herself - the breaking moment being when she started tearing up. i could only relate, when the heartbeats started i knew what was coming. this is such a powerful film, amazing how everything is just perfectly placed. they really did a crazy job - i can only applaude them for picturing such a complex feeling in a "kids" cartoon somehow. so happy we can spread more awareness about it 💙
God this was a worthy sequel to the first film, which is an absolute classic, it’s so much more relatable. Anxiety was such a great character. Her shedding that tear and saying she was only trying to protect Riley BROKE me. So did the scene with Joy about getting older. Amazing film
As someone about the same age as Riley, his is the first time I've genuinely related to a movie. This movie perfectly captured the emotional aspect of growing up
2:10 anxiety attack anxiety attack
Anexity get an anxiety attack
Anxiety glitched out
" When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." Avatar Aang
As you can see, Riley is sweating because she is hyperventilating which happens if you have an attack
At twenty-five years old a few months ago, I went to see this movie with my mom and grandmother and as someone who suffers anxiety and had THREE PANIC ATTACKS in the same month a few months ago, I related to Anxiety and Riley and thought something like, "Okay, this was me during my last two panic attacks." I just turned twenty-six and I think that it can help out other people suffering from anxiety and help develop empathy for those don't have it, especially if they have one or more loved ones going through this or did in the past. I don't think I'll ever forget that scene and how it made me feel. Oh, and I'm also autistic. I like how Anxiety wasn't evil and that her intentions were good. Because if she was evil, she would have DESTROYED the other emotions and made Riley A LOT WORSE and her anxiety untreatable. Riley would probably experience a severe breakdown of irreparable and irreversible damage if Anxiety was a bad gal. Anxiety could have destroyed Sadness when she caught her but instead put her in a bucket in mid-air and never intended to harm her or the other emotions.
Anyone, especially the older people like me saw this scene and kind went like "too real"
This is the most accurate portrayal of an anxiety attack I've ever seen
Pixar knocked it out of the park with this one WHAT A MOVIE!!
Two and a half months ago, I saw Inside Out 2. My feelings were hardly optimistic, but either on account of the opening scene, the hysterically funny Bloofy and Pouchy scene, or the "realistic depiction of a panic attack", and the idea of letting Riley be a very flawed person yet still succeed in making you care about her, it felt to me like a return to the old days of Pixar. Riley running into Grace is the 2020s equivalent to Lightning insulting Radiator Springs or Woody trying to knock Buzz out the window. I'll freely say that Pixar has had a rough time creatively in the past near-decade, but Inside Out 2 shows major improvement.
3:21 riley has a anxiety attack 😢
The best depiction of don't let emotions control you (the way Joy and Anxiety were unintentionally controlling Riley) and you should control your emotions (depicted in the scene where Riley's Console calls Joy).
The fact joy looked at sadness to hand the sense kf self to first was so cute❤
1:37 it sounded like she said catness
fatness
sadness
For me that was the scariest scene in the movie. I'm glad Joy was able to calm down anxiety
The way this scene makes me cry so hard
Oh... my... God...
I felt bad for poor Riley. Just watching her have a panic attack makes me real worried. 😢
1:23 the part when Riley’s friend sees Riley by herself having a panic attack 💀💀💀💀💀💀
?
r/ Ihadastroke
honestly its not that people’s writing are getting worse it’s that your reading skills are getting worse 💀 this is so easy to read its literally just the fact that there is 2 of the word “Riley”
What an absolutely brilliant movie, a true masterpiece
Anxiety is a strange type of villain. She was never trying to hurt Riley, rather trying to help her.
Every villain is a hero of their own story
@@ultron4724Anxiety isnt a villain
its a construct of human emotions thats natural
there are no villains in this movie and never have been
She isnt a villain
Never was
Anxiety is due to over-stimulation and chemical overload
she is just there to be a defense mechanism from breaking down
Inside Out has never had villains, thats kinda the point
Everything on this list is so accurate. I also thought Powder’s panic attack and/or mental breakdown in Arcane when everyone left her behind to fight was really well done too
Anxiety is that destructive I had an anxiety attack and I Don't wish anyone have one in their life. I learned a good technique on how to stop mine from going bad.
This scene hit me pretty good, inside out 2 was fantastic. love this movie, hoping there's a 3rd movie in the works in a few years....
"Andersen! Penalty box! 2 minutes!"
"Anxiety, stop!"
when Anxiety started crying. whew
