- Dealing with anxiety is tough enough, but what's even worse is when people don't understand it. Many who have never experienced or aren't familiar with anyone who goes through anxiety have a lot of misconceptions about it and the things people do because of it. It makes coping with anxiety much harder.
In this video we will talk about 13 things people don't realize you do because of your anxiety. Generally speaking, people with anxiety do certain things to overcome their anxiety. The feeling my last for a short time, but it is needed. The problem is, a lot of individuals misinterpret what they are doing.

Do you guys do any of this? Did we miss anything?
Stop reading my mind!
My anxiety is intense, but I have horrid memory. So when I have to read out in class, I'm like okay cool, but then when I start reading.....it hits....and I forget how to read & panic
Psych2Go
Thank you for existing.
Psych2Go I do all of them
Psych2Go 90% in my case so it's really spot on
And when you actually do make friends, you're afraid that they don't actually like you and they're just trying to be nice.
Yup
Camille P OMG YES WHYYYYYYY
That's my only worry. As a child I didn't have many friends becouse I was a little different. That made me to talk loudly and sometimes over others in need for attention. Now as I'm older I have managed to make a couple of friends but I still do those same things when I'm with them becouse I'm afraid if I don't make them pay attention to me they would just forget me. On the other hand I know now how annoying I must be to my friends and I wish I could stop it. Unfortunately I have realized it has grown really deep inside me and I'm afraid I will never be able to trust anyone to be a real friend to me.
Camille P I don't have anxiety but I feel this sometimes
Ya Anxiety hits me sometimes. I think I'm a lot better with it than I used to be, but I still have thoughts like that. I do hold myself back because I think I can't do it or afraid that if I try I'll just look like a fool. Around others that are friends of friend's when they are drinking can definitely bring it on and I need to go away for a while.
Is it just me, or does anyone else suffering from this also get massive amounts of brain fog pretty much 100% of the time? I can go from supergenius to shockingly stupid. Like, sweet baby Jesus, I can become _incredibly_ stupid.
Yes ! I can go from surprisingly intelligent to so, *so* stupid. It's definitely a part of my anxiety.
Squeaky Deeds Done Soap Clean Same!
Except, I don't know if I have anxiety or not. I have everything that's listed in the video, but I don't know for sure. I am NOT self diagnosing if anyone thinks that. Just because I act the way the video describes it, doesn't mean I actually have anxiety. I've never been tested.
Sofia Pardel
Yeah, I think the same way as you do. I haven't been diagnosed for it, but man I literally broke into a sweat when a 3rd grader asked me a simple division problem.
Squeaky Deeds Done Soap Clean I get so anxious at times that I can't form words correctly or hear words correctly. You can say something and I'll hear you speaking, but my mind is so fogged up, it can't process the sounds correctly into something that I'm able to understand. And I always speak way too fast when I'm getting too anxious and I make random sounds as I try to form words but suddenly can't remember how. As if a normal conversation couldn't get any worse. The other day, I had to ask the kid next to me what the sum of 13 and 5 was. I was so close to tears when I realized I had a calculator right there and that it was 1st grade math.
*"But what if I'm just being overdramatic?"*
That's the biggest question that always holds me back from getting help
Lix Sunshine I feel you.....
@@elite_piggyzillaxx174 same 😔
Same. I feel that too
same
OMG I feel you😭
One time I said "I love you, Goodnight" to my friend cause I thought we were close enough and she didn't reply, I almost died
Same 🥺
I was called weird and told friends don't say that kind of weird stuff. I now have no friends. What is the point when love is never the goal?
@@CowToes that's mean! I'm calling close friends,bebi or something like that and they seem fine with it, I think because I did it often so they don't think it's weird anymore😕
Meee!!,
Same..... but the thing is..... she looked a t me in a very weird way the next day it hurts
For me, I constantly go through "what if" thoughts. If I'm worried about something, I'll think of the worst possible things that could happen.
definitely something we should add to this list! Thanks for sharing!
Makes two of us or most likely a lot of us.
I never used to think I had anxiety and I know for a fact that I didn't have it, but it's sort of crept up on me over the past 3-4 year, becoming gradually worse and the whole 'what if' aspect plays a huge role in my day to day life.
I work as a sales associate as a sort of way to try and combat my anxiety of talking to people and it kind of helps, I guess.
But it's true that people really don't think it's a real problem and a lot seem to think it's just a phase, something that'll pass after a week or two like your average cold or well flu.
Kind of makes me wish people would get educated on anxiety since so many suffer from it.
They might even have it themself and not even realize it because they think it's not real.
A huge part of having anxiety for me is that I constantly try to convince myself that there's nothing wrong, simply to make myself feel just a little bit better and it helps for a little while till it dawns me yet again that I'm just lieing to myself.
It's a struggle and I don't really know how to fight it either, I've tried getting close to people too, women I find interessting and would like to know but I more often than not stop trying because I'm scared of failing or messing up.
It's rough, but I won't give up though, I can't afford too.
what if, what if we run away?
what if, what if we left today?
ok sorry i'll leave now
Tess Smith same...!
Same, I'll probably be having a normal conversation and end up not saying what I wanna say because I start overthinking everything
I wish teachers understood that picking on me to answer a question is the scariest thing ever
This used to be my biggest fear in school, and it's why I chose to be homeschooled from 10th grade until I graduated. It was torture though, like a spotlight is being put on you and everyone in the room is judging you.
I don't know what grade you're in, but hang in there!
Hana _a_b , yes same here I'm in 6th grade and my science teacher called on me and I got the answers wrong , and every one laughed !! it's the worst thing ever !!! I don't like haveing axiety , I hate whene I have them in the hall way
Hana _a_b exactly unless I raise my hand, don't call on me
Hana _a_b my teacher says she understands but she's still a bitch to me
yeah, i hate them for it.
i doubt mine notice, despite the fact it's obvious with my voice getting super quiet and shaky.
I don’t cancel plans, I just hope something comes up for everyone and they can’t make it
Yep me ( even though I haven’t been diagnosed with anxiety)
Sometimes I do cancel but always what you said!! 😬
Me
I don't make one in the first place
Yup, same. I am to afraid they will notice and think I'm weird
When you’re in a relationship and you spend every second worrying about if they really love you, because they didn’t answer the text you sent an hour ago
Blue Haze okay true but couldnt help noticing that scary ass picture...?😂
Omaigod..exactly,,

I swear the next person who tells me that anxiety is easy to get rid of I’m gonna flip.
I hear you! I am so sick of that one! Oh, like it's a choice?
@Elijah ASMR If it was a choice I would choose to be less anxious. I can not control it. If you live the life I live you would understand. PTSD and anxiety are not choices since I didn't ask for them.
@Elijah ASMR Why are you on this page? Are you here just to torment people who have chronic anxiety disorders? If you're happy that's great, and congratulations. No, I was not born this way. Life's trauma made me this way and I am doing my best to cope with it. Please do not tell me to just be happy. It's not that simple. I have to work at it and learn to trust people. You trolling me is not helping the situation. So, please stop and find something else to do if you're so freaking happy.
@Elijah ASMR it's not that simple its like how hard you try to feel happy it just hits you when you don't expect like I panic too much at tests even if ı know ım going to get a good note its not that simple don't make it worse you don't help right now so just stop (sorry if ı wrote something wrong)
@Elijah ASMR its funny how people like you still exist in society
Anxiety makes it so that you can’t ever really be comfortable unless you are busy
Never realized how true this is until you just said it
Eli The weirdo or are drinking, unfortunately for me that’s where my anxiety took me , it’s so bad but sometimes you just want a break and just for once feel normal and be able to be you and enjoy the moment
Kenty Iluminada see I’m only a teen and can’t drink so I can’t relate, but I’ve seen this happen to other older family members
Eli The weirdo don’t follow into their footsteps whatever you do don’t try alcohol because it’s very dangerous for us people with anxiety, we get too addicted and it makes anxiety worse in the long term
Kenty Iluminada thank you. Currently I have been seeing a consular about it so that I don’t fall into anything. Because of my consular I was able to get rid of my OCD and some other things. I have found that talking to someone helps you. Because of this I have been able to find myself
You automatically regret everything you say
You stay up until you can't stay awake anymore
You can't start conversations
You take years to get comfortable with the people you see for hours everyday
You imagine everything that could possibly go wrong and end up not having fun
When you decide to do something risky you take forever to actually do it and stand around making excuses until everyone is mad
You get frustrated all the time because you're afraid to share your opinion so nobody understands what you feel like
You aren't comfortable around your own family at gatherings
You look at the ground as you walk to avoid eye contact
You have a nervous habit that you do daily
You have to have everything a certain way or you can't sleep without worrying something will go wrong
You talk to a person you trust over and over asking questions like "is it safe" "are you sure" "have you done it" "how do you know" before taking action
You find every reason to believe your safe but it never out weighs the things that could happen wrong
It sucks
Everything sucks
Skylar Hough I relate to everything you just said omg
I love You so what the fuck do we do about it? im sick of living like this
So Relatable.
this is all me!!
plus i zone out while people are talking to me.i don't mean to, i just do it randomly and then my mind will tune back in and catch part of the conversation.
***you already know that you have anxiety but your gut tells you, ”check again.”***
Me
This is too relatable
After i finish cookin i double then triple check if its off
i can totally relate. well, i'm not diagnosed yet and i don't wanna assume or self-diagnose either (might meet our guidance counselor regarding that soon, as per my parent's advice - though i'm not really expecting to be diagnosed because they're not really a professional doctor... i think), but with all the signs, it can't all just be a speculation, could it?
Meee I’m rlly scared to ask my mum for me to get “help”
I was overthinking so much to the point where I was questioning everything in life and how humans function. I was so stuck in my own head and caught in the constant loop that it scared me and I cried.
And now I’m starting to regret this comment. Maybe it’s too dark for a comment section? I’m going to leave before I rethink it again.
No, it's alright
Me too
it's ok, don't overthink. heck, I'm overthinking about this reply.
I overthink the way of life and humanity 24/7. I try to explain it to people and they just dismiss it as me being weird. Glad someone else knows what it's like! :)
ugh same!
Heres one: you avoid speaking up about things you disagree with no matter how small because you are worried that everyone will hate you or that you will create conflict. It stinks because I often get dragged into things I don't necessarily want to do or people think I agree with something that I actually don't.
omg this is all i avoid every day, confrontation is the worst
Katelyn Pettit true, I've been thinking like that ever since kindergarden
My mom keeps talking about LGBT like she knows all about it, and I want to tell her that she's wrong, but the only time that I did tell her, she kept trying to prove me wrong, and I didn't know the right words to say, and I ended up giving up.
Sorry for any grammatical incorrections.
Yes, I added the last sentence because I'm afraid that I said something wrongly and I'll be mocked for it.
+Hedgehog Fan14 It's okay. You're still a champ. (:
Katelyn Pettit I would be willing to help. What did she say?
I wonder how many of you readers of this comment don't want to write a comment because you're anxious of making bad impressions or sounding stupid or that no one's gonna care. I did, so I wanted to at least write this.
gonna go calm down a bit now...
when i make comments i usually delete them right after in fear someone is gonna think im stupid or make fun of me
TalTheBest It seems like you're reading my mind. I'm glad you could :)
You read my mind ( my anxiety caused me to rewrite this 10 times to avoid sounding stupid)
TalTheBest I do this so much it actually sucks. I'm not sure if I wanna post this but I guess so??
TalTheBest I do that all the time wow
Me: "Can I be alone??"
My mom: "Stop feeling sorry for yourself."
This comment omg. Everything in this video is so true, but this comment hit so hard
Dang 😢
When I say something negative abt myself in front of my family wanting to know what they think abt me
And they agree with ur negativity 😢😔
@@soberslap6183 same😕
Same. my family is terrible with this and I can't talk to them about anything. It's been years since the last time I tried 😓
@@arielhall8758 i relate to that 110%
I always get terrified that people are reading my mind and laughing at me and invading my privacy, I sometimes run into the bathroom at school and cry because of this.
I thought i was the only one that thought people could read my mind
Hey dont worry. They are not thinking of you. You do not know who or what they're thinking about. Theres a rare chance that they are. You are fine 💖
It's very unlikely anyone is reading your mind. First, people can't read minds. Second, why would they be reading your mind? They're probably thinking about their own problems.
Try to identify the source of that thought.
Ask why 5 times in a row.
Ex: I think people are reading my mind. Why?
I'm afraid they'll find out what I'm thinking. Why?
I'm ashamed of some of my thoughs. Why?
etc etc. BTW Everyone has bad or intrusive thoughts, all the time. You're not responsible for the things that pop up in your head. You're an observer. You choose what thoughts make sense to you. You have power! Don't forget.
Also, always remember this: people have enough worries and better things to do than single you out constantly for no apparent reason. Try putting yourself in their position and think about them as having lots of problems and fears and worries and dreams and families, so much that supercedes reading someone's thoughts. Unless they have a crush on you lol.Hugs
@@genericnamethingy Another person downplaying the weight and lack of control behind anxiety. As someone who struggles with that same problem, and suffered through people launching comments like "wow...self-centered much", I need to stop you here. I would so much rather to say screw everyone and not have to think about them. However, my stupid brain has to contemplate the existence of all possibilities- no exaggeration- as such I will be seeing a person for the first time ever, then they chuckle. PANIC MODE INITIATED! My mind tells me all sorts of reasons for the chuckle and they rarely are pleasant. That was a mild example. All of this is to say, we wish we could control anxiety, but 90% of the time we feel helpless, and basically are. Empathize with us rather than tell us that people have better things to do than think about us....looking at it now, that may spiral into another worry: "no one cares enough to think about me". I hope I cleared up a few things. It is also not an attack but it felt personal when I read what you said. Have a good one.
As a thinker this is the most terrifing thing to imagine. The problem is, I have that kind of friend who has "indigo" ability or smth.
Me: can we sleep now
Anxiety: never
Depression: *forever*
Ye I cant sleep bcuz this :c
Me every night. Like now. Its 12 am. Help
*EXACTLY*
In this situation i like depression way more....i freaking love sleeping
Yup XDXDXDXD
Am I the only one to prepare to say ‘here’ in class?
Or
Don’t breath to loud if you have earbuds in
Huh I do that too
I always fell like I'm not gonna be listening when the teacher says my name but when they say everybody else's name I'm listening
Bruh yes I get all weird trying so hard not to breathe loud when I have headphones on that I end up holding my breath 😣😂
NO YOU'RE NOT! Oh wow, I thought I was legit the other one. Especially with saying 'here' in class! I just started high school a couple weeks ago, and OH GOD!
OMG YES I DO IT UNDER MY BREATH AND I TEST MY VOICE BY WHISPERING
Also I feel like I can’t be independent and I always ask others what I should do because I’m scared that if I try doing something on my own I’ll feel like they will think it’s bad and that I just wasted a bunch of time. This happens even when I’m playing video games
I know im scared of making a mistake because its like what if someone is judge me i worry about the way i walk
☹️☹️
this is way to relatable. ...
I wanna ask people for opinions but I don't have 🙂
You ask others what videogames should you play or what should you do in certain parts of videogames? That is straight up worse than just having anxiety, having in consideration games are pure simulation, there are literally no mistakes you do in videogames that will have any impact in your real life
This comment section makes me feel less lonely on this planet. Thanks for sharing your stories, guys! Thank god I'm not the only one
Your not the only one! I live in fear of life!
I can’t help it! Things scares me
Best of luck to you
I talk too much and laugh uncontrollably when I'm nervous
People think that I laugh because I'm rude. The problem is I can't stop sometimes. It happens when I'm nervous; my palms are sweating and I look like a retarded psychopath
ham damage same, I also mess with my hands a lot
bartekzet2854 I used to be a nervous laugher too but people kept taking it the wrong way and something must have changed with me as I grew up and now I am just awkwardly silent alot of the time where I would've been laughing as a teenager.
ham damage
You are not alone!!! oAo
ham damage same
Me: **sees millions of hints pointing at me having severe anxiety**
Me: ppfff-ff-ft I’m fInE
;-;
Welcome this is exactly how I felt
Relateable
:з
“I’m just overreacting”
The comment section of this video is the most comfortable place i've ever found on the internet because everyone feels the same things that I do, when i always thought i was too weird for having social anxiety.
1. U disappear without notice.
2. U freak out.
3. U over check things.
4. U don't go to parties.
5. U let opportunities pass u by.
6. Certain dates give u anxiety.
7. U hold on ur phone back too much.
8. U don't make new friends.
9. U dread going to school/work.
10. U r clingy in ur relationships.
Thank you I was looking for this
11. U cancel plans
12. U rehearse phone calls
1e. U ask to be alone temporarily
Poor U, I hope he's doing well
@@corvidaesapiens U is doing it waterfall
With Social anxiety you think everyone is judging you which is called The Spotlight effect. Even though logically we know people are not looking at us but we cant stop the thoughts from racing and telling us that people are looking at us.
EYE OF THE WATCH basically me
My entire life is dictated by how I can avoid this. The route I take to work. The social things I do. The clothes I wear. How I get the shopping etc. I want to start the gym again as I know it helps anxiety but the overwhelming thought of people staring and judging me is too much.
The stupid thing is I know I'm not a big deal. I'm a drop in the ocean. I shouldn't give myself that much credit. But I cannot help feeling like everyone is looking at me. It's ridiculous.
Yeah. I know how you feel. Have you ever been though cognitive behavior therapy. This kind of therapy allows you change how you look at things. We have cognitive distortions when we suffer from extreme anxiety. It is extremely helpful to go into therapy.
I have social anxiety :(
I tried CBT and although it had some helpful tips it mostly was to boost my "self esteem". I don't think they understood that I needed help with crippling anxiety and not just the relationship I have with myself. My employer wasn't supportive in the slightest and when I would have to go to CBT appointments they made it very clear they weren't happy about it so I haven't gone again. I hear it can be helpful though.
The problem I have is making up 1 million different scenarios of how a conversation will go on both parts.
Me with almost everything.
Same.....
Yes! And going over previous conversations so much in your head because your just so sure you said something wrong that the next time you see that person you just avoid them entirely.
I do that daily
i can relate.
I’ve done every single thing said in the video besides canceling plans bc I don’t make any plans to begin with
Here's another one:
You tend to cough/sneeze softly in public to avoid drawing attention to yourself
ohhh godd it's so true🤧
@@emmaelesgerova2058 yep, happens to me all the time
I try to avoid sneezing in public because my sneeze is actually pretty loud, and my parents and relatives always called me out for it, and I’d get really embarrassed
Same with eating, my grandparents used to comment that I’m eating too much
I do that cuz i feel people think that im sneezing too loud lmao
Yesss, omg
My life explained in 337 seconds
Those sponsor messages too ?
yes absolutely true
Same
Now i'm the 337th like in your comment
*i'll leave now.*

My anxiety: ohh honey you better get back in bed
this is SO RELATABLE

Faith Kuehl
Same
Ikr, This is like the cancelling plans one, On Friday, my family and I were going to Missouri for the weekend, the day came, I was so worried, and anxious! Idk why it happened. 😔
Faith Kuehl same
I literally cried that you guys understand this but not my family and friends
I am 13 and I have depression and anxiety and none of my friends or family understand I am so happy to watch these videos and see the comments this is sort of moral support for me!
Dont stress u have us
I get really anxious whenever I want to write a comment because I'm afraid people are going to take it the wrong way and start saying negative things in the replies. (I had a long debate on whether or not to even write this comment).
I'm really sorry that happens. 😕
I feel the same tooooo
Omg same
you're not the only one ☻
I’m like this with messaging people, I’ll go to text something possibly funny or witty, and then realising that it’s “dumb” or it’s “not good enough” ad I end up just typing something like “ok” or “yea”
Y’know, just little one or two word things.
I feel like you missed the part ware your heart is phisically pounding all the time, constant dread and can get REALLY jumpy at anything, I hate anxiety i wish it would go away forever
I've heard if your heart's pounding alot, it'll be alot weaker when you get older. Maybe you should try to prevent it next time it happens.
NoPain NoGain I know the more conscious you are of it, the worse it gets. I was just being a deuche.
Same
NoPain NoGain wish more people with anxiety had the mindset you do. Most people wanna just magically wish it away, and not actually battle it. So they let it control them and their life :(
NoPain NoGain I feel like 90+% of people in the world have dealt with serious anxiety and the biggest difference is not who has it and who doesn’t, but who decided to conquer it (however long that may take) and who just gave up and let it control them. I used to sweat, hyperventilate and my heart would feel like it was going to burst out of my chest pulling up to parties and so I just never even went. Would try to go and then would just end up turning around and walking home once my friend’s parked. Didn’t even go to ONE high school dance. But I was lucky enough to learn to be strategic and logical when approaching anxiety and for the most part I am done with it. Now I freaking love dancing and love parties.
I’ve never related to a video so hard in my life, how do I send this to my parents without sending it???
Omg this is my entire person in a video
“#2 you freak out over the time it takes someone to respond to your text”
Me:watching this video while waiting on the person I’m texting and thinking the worst rn
just responded GDI
same, I just confessed and he didn't reply for the past 3 hours
Due to PTSD this response made me make huge texts justifying myself. Don't do that xD Throws ppl off
Oh thank god I'm not the only one who does this stuff.
Just Random Things Same. I thought I was alone for awhile.
Just Random Things Same, I especially do the part where it talks about making sure the door is locked, and rehearsing phone calls. Although I know the door is locked I check about 3 times before going to bed and I always rehearse my phone calls so it doesn't get quite and awkward, but I really never call anyone because of my anxiety and sometimes purposely ignore calls.
Yoite Miharu yesssssssss
Just Random Things Me too! 😩😩 and sometimes when they call, even if it's family and I want to talk, my heart is pounding so fast that I have to ignore the call to calm down
For me,I am extremely clingy and get panic attacks or nauseous when someone doesn't reply for a while,I start to believe something bad happened to them.I feel the need to rehearse simple orders or things like that because I think the slightest slip-up will cause humiliation.I am afraid of being forced into social situations,or places where there is an abundant amount of people,and feel the need to be out of the situation as fast as possible.I need to have a device with me to distract myself,because facing reality is too much for me.
Does anyone else with anxiety get nervous or anxious thinking that your anxiety isn't bad enough and it's not actually anxiety and you feel like ur just making it up even though you have been diagnosed with anxiety?? Just me?? K cool
Same. Except I haven't been diagnosed because my mum basically tells me I'm being dramatic so I just wonder 'is everyone like this?'
Snowy Ginger i haven't been diagnosed too but i think that you just feel you have it, at least imo. I don't know how other people 'feel' anxiety but for me this feeling in your mind and stomach (obviously not just in that body part) is different than anything else and for me 'normal stress' is taking totally in different way than 'anxiety stress'
neythe While getting diagnosed is a good idea, I will say that I knew I have anxiety long before I was diagnosed.
Kawaii Kitten i know i should, but I don't wanna get psychiatrist or something now. My mum is a doctor and she said I had anxiety tho. Recently I feel a bit better so I think I can handle with that (at least now)
I feel you, let's talk
i grew up being told “you’re so quiet” as well as meeting new people that never realized i went to the same school with them for four years
Me,at home: *I’ll go to school!!*
Me,at school: *oh hell naw...*
My Anxiety be trippin' me
Y e s t h a t h a s t o b e r e l a t a b l e
My anxiety makes rethink over and over again how i should say "here" in class
YES.
Ikr
My depression and anxiety had mixed up so much that to this point i just say it regardless if they hate me or not, i don't care anymore, i just don't feel as much, im simply too tired.
And then my voice cracks and I just wanna die
That’s why I only raise my hand uwu
This is really accurate. I have generalised anxiety disorder and this fits in on me so well! Thank you for you making this video!
A teacher once asked me “What’s the worst that could happen?” when they were trying to convince me to go to a lesson, I responded with “Highly trained assassin ninjas could jump out of the roof and murder everyone.” The teacher just looked at me in disbelief.
RedBanana lmao
im laughing while knowing i once got scared a giant mosquito would fly out of a banana and kill everyone
Anxiety: look every one is thinking about you and judging you
Me: No, No, no one is thinking about me
Depression: ever.
Me: n-no that’s not what I meant..
(Edit) OH MY GOSH THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE LIKES IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY !!!!!!!
Brenna McKenzie so true😭
Why am I laughing? That's right I have depression too.
Brenna McKenzie honestly this spoke to me fam
me too😭😭
Thats me when i go outside
Anxiety has destroyed my mind and my confidence.
karlee weeg so sorry to hear😯
karlee weeg me too.
:( Well I hope you can regenerate them! I am similarly afflicted...but working on it constantly.
And my self esteem
Well, y'all a great people with exceptional talents one way or the other. God designed you this way intentionally, so you can bet it's for a good reason
This hit me hard :/ 😔 The last time i cried was today bc i felt like i was annoying my friends ,they told me that i wasnt but i just feel like they are lying and i always have to ask them if im annoying.
Yeah it’s a difficult feeling :( I always feel like I’m bothering someone
Number 5 really made me feel validated
Last year I passed up the opportunity for a huge opportunity in school because I was afraid of failing. My parents got really mad at me, and all my friends got the thing and I didn't.
Another big one for me is how much I fear ordering food. I’ll rehearse exactly what I’m going to say in my head, and if the waiter/waitress asks me a question about my order I’ll internally panic. I especially hate Subway, I avoid it like the plague.
Although in my home town there’s a Chinese restaurant where you write down your order on a slip of paper and your waiter/waitress will only check in occasionally. I _love_ that place.
Yes yes yes yes yes, I can not relate to this more omg
I can definitely relate😥
Sameeeee
I always use the like big tv order things at mcdonalds to avoid ralking as much as possible, one of the reasons I prefer mcdonalds over most other fast food places 😞
Same with me, I even get anxious when walking up to anywhere to order, and to even ask for help. When I am at a store I will do ANYTHING to not ask someone to help, it makes me soooo anxious.
12. You rehearse phone calls
Who said i do phone calls??
Who said i GET phone calls?
Right, I can’t bring myself to make phone calls or knock/ answer doors
Love your profile picture. (Isn't that from "A Silent Voice"
I never call anybody. I just text.
Sangwoo what are you doing here???
I have bad social anxiety and I'm certain that my need to be a perfectionist and people pleaser is bcuz I grew up in a home with an explosive and abusive narcissistic father.
1:30 this one almost got me fired on multiple occasions because I would CONSTANTLY ask my boss and my coworkers stuff like “is this right? Is this okay? This should be fine, right?”
It seems dumb to fire someone if they're just trying to get everything right.
this video gave me anxiety
because it was so true
Jessica Damn fam
Here too...
Oh my gosh, you're everywhere 😂
Jessica its no fucking joke.
Jessica lmao i see your comment almost everywhere
Yes
Whenever I think I said something rude or did something wrong at school or a store, I end up thinking about how better it would've been if I hadn't done that. For like, a WHOLE WEEK, I still fantasize on what I should've done and the outcome it would have. (which would be better than my current outcome) It bothers me SO much because whenever I'm trying to work on something in school I remember that moment and it's hard to concentrate. I end up missing out on the lesson because I just want to get out of there and be alone to think of what I should've done. Sometimes I wonder if people remember what I did, so I get nervous thinking that they did remember. :l
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I relate to this so much, and it's awful
Especially when you're physically talking to someone and you can't type out an read and re-read what you said before deleting half of it _just in case_ it's too weird or offensive to say
Imma just leave that in despite how much I want to delete it
It's pretty much same for me. I'm thinking about stupid things I've done and said even after years. It's so much easier to type a message than to talk to a person. Or it would be easy to talk irl if I could practice the sentence for at least three times.
That's basically me everyday
I still think about situations that happend like 3 years ago..
I'M A GENERAL, WHEEE!! LITERALLY OMFG SHEEHDGEHEEHHSHSSHWINSJS I RELATE

Mikasa?
Went to a family meal and sat alone in another room the whole time really couldn’t be near people, you know when it gets like that 🤷🏾♀️
When I come out of my room to socialize, my family asks why am I out of my room, and I just stare and go back to my room, thinking that they don't want my company when it's more likely they are surprised I want to be in theirs......
I also skip eating lunch if it's out in public because eating in front of people makes me nervous for some reason.
PraiseTheHolyEmoTrinity
Same, I never know why though.
PraiseTheHolyEmoTrinity it happens with me too. even if someone comeover at my home I can't eat properly.
PraiseTheHolyEmoTrinity me too :(
PraiseTheHolyEmoTrinity Me too! Also because I had Anorexia.
PraiseTheHolyEmoTrinity i always eat in a toilet stall if i can't eat at home. and sometimes toilet stalls are really smelly. not really s great place to eat xD
It makes me happy when i see comments and realize that im not only one :)
same here
True
You’re not alone
Me too
same my friend; don't worry :)
It's sad that I can relate to every single one of these topics, It's hard to handle anxiety, most people make it seem like we're just playing hard to get or ignoring them or being too extra sensitive, when most of the times it's one of these topics you listed above. I might show this video to a few people I know! Thanks for this, especially throughout this crises the world is going through, anxiety has never been higher.
When me and my ex were still together, we would always send “I love you” with millions of emojis...I knew something was wrong once she stopped using any emoji and just put “me too”...A few days later, she broke up with me..We’re still friends though. Sometimes, I wonder what made her want to break up with me. Was I too clingy? Was I too awkward? Do I look that ugly? Am I weird? Was it because I wanted attention? She even cuddles me while holding my hand even though we’re not together anymore ..I just don’t think that the love is mutual between us..kinda like a one-sided love kind of thing..sorry for this ridiculously long comment.
Maybe ask her. I know what overthinking's like in a relationship....:(
Tbh, sometimes it's because they're going through something in their life. It doesn't always have to be your fault. :) I've been there before. I'll be here if you ever need anything
Ik it’s been a year since you commented, but don’t blame yourself hun.
I think this was pretty accurate coming from someone with anxiety
the majority of people watching have anxiety
don't feel like the only snowflake
character dreemurr when did she said, that she's special? Calm down, jeez
Rebecca DeVore ~
I do all of these, except number 4, but I don't have anxiety.
character dreemurr When did she ever say that? She just said it was accurate... and it is, coming from me, who has anxiety as well.
Rebecca DeVore yeah..I have an anxiety disorder and it fucking sucks and I relate to all of these way too much.😩
With anxiety, you overthink a lot about even the smallest things, like maybe the way someone spoke to you that day. To you they may sound different than they usually do and it may make you feel like they'll get tired of you, which causes you to sometimes distance yourself from that person. You always think you're bothering someone or you're annoying, even when they constantly tell you that you aren't
Myaboo that last sentence is me 24/7. And like all of it. I just overthink everything
Orin World me too and I get even more anxiety about asking them about me bothering them because I don’t want to bother them
Myaboo m2
Myaboo this whole paragraph is me.
Myaboo thats so true but we cant help it and even if there is a way then its not going to really help in the long run
I’ve watched this 3 times in a row because I have all the symptoms and I’m 95% sure I have anxiety but I always have to check again, just in case
Edit: 4 times now
Honestly the way i deal with it is dont talk to people in the first place and u wont get hurt plus its exosting to sit their and wonder if they really care about you. And to me people just hold u back and will always end up leaving u in the future.
not going to parties bc of anxiety but then getting anxiety that noone is missing you and everyone at the party is slagging you off and you'll have no friends by the morning.
Amber Dunbar im not a fan of parties too. i find it hard to keep up with everyones energy and all they talk about incessantly and sometimes gets annoyed. again, maybe bcos its hard to keep up. i prefer going out with them, like with 2 to 5 people than a whole classroom in a party even if i know and somewhat close with them
Amber Dunbar and the stress of planning, what should you wear, makep up even though deciding what to wear, dress up and doing make up is good stress. even though i like it
Amber Dunbar pretty much...
I go to parties because they're the only places I can get alcohol and drugs and attempt to self medicate and calm myself down :/
Amber Dunbar exactly!
When I explain this to people, the reaction is often like “Yeah everybody has those things, right? It’s human”. Like I should not make such a big deal out of it and that it’s normal. I don’t think people realize how bad it is and how much that fear detains you in daily life. How worrying and fearing so much physically makes you sick in your stomach.
Anna-Lena Stammen majority of ppl don’t understand. It really sucks.
Yeah my friend says it’s just worrying and everybody has it and it’s not so bad. I just get upset on how he could say that. It effects my life and many others each day.
@@ipodr4363 not sure if they're a friend then my friend has a friend who makes noises even tho she has something that i forget the name thàt makes her feel like she wants to kick them, she knows karate and is blackbelt level...
Horse stuff is like that too, everyone says that you just sit there...
Ok, you try squeezing your thighs, nees core, and butt while checking too see where you are going while maintaining your balance, making sure your toes are up, keeping your reins right, while perfectly timing everything, and while wearing long sleeves (and uncomefrable boots if ur english), while in top of 1,000+ pounds of pure muscle that could decide to kill you here and now, as well as do it within 2 seconds.
Sry coukdnt help but rant

One of my teachers has it
You hit everything I struggle through. Now I know and am able to understand myself a little better. Thank you.
My carelessness in my previous working experience makes my coworkers isolate me, and this is how my anxiety turns up. I multicheck a lot, anxiety in socialising, replying a message after straining and stressing out for an hour, and have very serious trust issues 😔
Sometimes I overthink so much. I make my thoughts become problems. And I hate it. I think that’s my problem, overthinking..
Me too
I overthink my overthinking and then overthink that
Same
Same,
Me TOO
Why did I say that?
Why didn't I say that?
Don't let the mask slip off
No. Tears are weakness.
Why do people hate me?
My anxiety

Briar Animations I hate to say but same I'm exactly like this
Briar Animations ugh, I'm the same way, my relationship struggles because of my excessive crying when I don't even try to cry and it sucks 😔
Alice Rose Same...
Briar Animations the story of my entire life
Seems to me you're depressed as well. At least, those are thoughts depressed people think. Maybe talk to someone, a professional? I did and it did help to sort out my fears and anxiety :)
My anxiety might not show at first sight. I like to listen a lot to what other people say and, when I'm asked a question, I get very talkative. The problem is the moment I get home I forget everything that I learnt from the other person and everything I shared with the them. Like i was unconscious the whole time. This is why I struggle a lot with making meaningful connections with others. My anxiety doesn't let me pay attention to them.
thank god i have the strength to fight every one of these things and get myself do to things even if i know i’ll have anxiety attacks or simply feel bad, letting anxiety control me isn’t the answer and i’ll keep fighting ❤️
When sat next to someone in class you worry if you’re breathing too heavily.... is that just me?
Quantum Graphics now that i see this i will keep it in mind every time im with someone :(
@frisk For me, I can cough twice or so but then I worry if I keep on coughing that it'll annoy people....
My breathing is naturally slight uneven so I'm always scared someone next to me will be like "what's that sound?"
Nah especially during big state exams lol I was too scared to blow my nose in class 😅
same even making sound in public
My anxiety ruined a good 90% percent of my life
Same, I mainly just sleep and I don't even go to see my father anymore because of it
Yup
This helped me understand myself more when having anxiety. Thank you! ❤️
Very accurate:
I have social anxiety and it’s pretty tough most days. Every time I go to a grocery store by myself I feel like everyone is staring at me and judging me somehow. Then I don’t make eye contact, you’ll never catch me at a party/club. Even though deep down I would love to hang out w new people, I just can’t 🤦🏽♀️
“You let opportunities pass”
lol what opportunities
ItsRuby GD yeah I was wondering too. I’ve been trying to find a job for a few years and I think to myself all the time, has my anxiety limited my career growth? I haven’t seen the right career or job title worthy of me to apply for. I feel when I know or see one, I will apply for it.
Ugh anxiety is awful, i'm nervous about everything, can't stand up for myself or talk to people, and I want to be seen differently 😞
Wintry, I feel what you feel to. I hate it.
Don't let the bad get to the worse of you. Do what you gotta do to do what YOU wanna do. Just think positive about things, there is so many things that can bring us down everyday and have a reason to feel upset but you just gotta Smile More sometimes :)
Wintry you're not alone
I was very anxious last night and my best friend who also has anxiety was the most amazing support I could ever ask for
This is excellent. Well done! So many comments are unfortunately very insular... But you already understand yourself and the point is to be understood by others and open up. My life changed when i opened up and it isn't perfect but i feel less guilty and overthink less
Anxiety is no different/worse than any other personal issue... so i suggest to readers to share this with people they want to get along with
i do a majorty of these things
Arthur Reed "that's a nice and open opportunity there! Too bad I might screw it up" that's pretty accurate
Rebel Assassin thats exactly how i feel doin most things

Rami Ayer please exit to the left 😭😭😭
Arthur Reed if you have anxiety I can only imagine what what mental illness D.W has 😳
My anxiety is a bunch of what ifs, to the point of me just bullying myself and confirming all the bad thoughts. Ill be at my happiest in my little dream land, then something in the back of my head says how something won’t happen, or something bad will happen, etc and everything will just tune into that and that’s all I can hear.
Yeah, I completely understand you :/ i am very realistic about situations and I constantly keep putting myself down, even though I know that I'm a lot better off than other people, but when I think about how much I have versus others, I think about how worthless I am for complaining about it.
Reapers Waifu I feel you, man. I have a stuttering problem, so, sometimes I tend to avoid certain situations where I have to talk to someone I don't know. And if in one of those situations I stutter to much I feel so embarrassed, I keep insulting myself and constantly looping that situation in my head.
Reapers Waifu sane thing with me I think of everything that could possibly happen to me
I am extremely clingy around people I trust. If I'm walking with a close friend, I have to distance myself a foot or two away, because everytime I walk with said (person/people) I unconsciously move towards them to the point that we are literally shoulder-to-shoulder.
My whole class went on a trip for a day and when we got there I literally told my friends that I had to make a call and then went and hid myself in the bathroom, I didn't come out of the bathroom until we had to leave the place...
i did that once on an ordinary school day. there was a deadline for one of our projects and unfortunately, it wasn't done yet so i locked myself in the bathroom and finished it. an hour passed, the first subject was over, and so was our project. now all i had to worry about was how to get out of the cubicle/washroom without being seen. i still had my bag so i was worried someone might see me and accuse me of cutting classes (in which, to some extent, were true). i also felt uneasy about the idea of everyone in my class looking at me and pointing out how late i was. i kept overthinking it and the next thing i knew, the second subject was over. our third subject teacher was pretty strict and scary so i did not want to just show up on her class out of nowhere, with my bag still hung over my shoulders, and be interrogated. i was afraid of getting caught by a teacher, a student, a staff or by one of the cctv's so i ended up ditching all my classes and isolating myself in the washroom (while transferring to different cubicles at every hour so the school staff wouldn't notice). i had nothing to eat or entertain myself with; all i had was a bottle of water and my cellphone (there was no signal inside the washroom and i recently just lost my earphones so it wasn't very helpful or entertaining either). i only got out once all the classes were over and just blended myself among the younger students (with a mask on my face to avoid being seen, and no, back then covid-19 wasn't thing yet). it happened more than once, and i ain't proud of it. sometimes, i wish i had actually cut classes and went somewhere nice instead of spending my day in such a cruddy place. it was a bad experience, but i think i prefer it over getting caught red-handed and interrogated.
I rehearse just about every conversation I have....and then I think about all of the possible responses....
Hello Choi Minho i thought i was the only one do i have anxiety
It sucks when you have both anxiety and depression
Because you are constantly on edge and nervous about everything, wanting things to be as perfect as possible, but at the same time everything seems pointless and you physically and mentally don’t have the energy to do it. It’s a fucked up combination.
An example from my life: because of my depression I couldn't do my homework (writing an essay), I just had no energy and I was thinking "I'm bad at it anyways so why should I even do it?" and then the next day at school.. I was the only one who hadn't done their homework.. I had to exlain to the teacher why, infront of the whole class.. I wished that I'd wrote it.. I felt so terrible... but it was exactly the same with the next essay
Oh shit man....
:(
@@shinhye9113 oh man i feel you I have that all the time. I want to learn and then my depression tells me that I'm failing anyways so why would I even bother learning, then in a test or something my anxiety kicks in because I can't answer any questions and when I tell myself that I'm going to learn today my depression is always like nah not today. (Sorry for my bad english it is not my first language)
I suffer from anxiety and depression , I don't go out much and I only have a few friends , you explained so much to me and it helped , I don't enjoy my favorite activities anymore and I stay in bed all day and over eat , thank you to you guys for helping me through difficult times
I have anxiety and everything on the list was just so relatable to me but the one that hit me the hardest, is making no impressions is better than a bad impression, I just started high school and I'm pretty much alone but not because I want to stay alone, but the fear I will mess everything up, I avoided everyone because I don't want people to think I'm annoying or dramatic or rude.
some people not only rehearse or think of what to say in phone calls, but sometimes even everyday conversations. Personally, I do it all the time. (side note (edited) to be honest, i didn't want to put up this comment because I was afraid people would judge me. But then some people agreed and replied, some also liked this comment, and Im very thankful for that, now I don't feel weird because i rehearse things everyday.)
Leafia Maya I rehearse in my head what to say when I leave
I do that all the time
I find it much better not to only rehearse before phone calls but to also write down important points and always have something to write so you can write down important stuff the other person says. That way you can't forget i.e. the time you made your appointment. And believe me, recalling to ask again is the worst.
I gather information on what was interesting in my day, rehearse when to say it then I think of what my friend's reactions would be, then I tell them what I rehearsed later on.
Leafia Maya oh my gosh, I do this.
Im really anxious person but I also don't sometimes give a fuck about things and it's like when I need to do something I don't give a fuck but I still spend the whole night worrying about it. lol.
I'm like an anxious procrastinator
a Bear Same man same. But for me it fills me with guilt specially when I don't turn up with my completed work, and then I feel like I don't deserve anything good cos I haven't put enough hard work like other students/employees and this guilt builds up and makes me question my self worth. Also I feel very nervous and as if everyone around me is judging me for wat I did and this builds up until I don't wanna be around those people anymore or I just become a robot and not care/but actually really care about how messed everything up and wat people might be thinking of me now...
Whew...I just got a lot off my chest, tho it's still there course 😒
Same
a Bear o h m y g o d im just like you and nooone understands me
a Bear that sounds like my life in a nutshell... 😂
This video made me anxious about having anxiety and I still won’t tell my parents that I think I have anxiety even though I’ve had these symptoms for years and I relate to every point in this video
Me: rehearses phone call 15+ times.
Phone: hello! How may i help you?
Me: *forgets everything i rehearsed* i uh-
*saves game* did I save? *resaves game to make sure*
linkachu omg literally me
*packing school bag* "ok I need my laptop, my binder, and my calculator" *puts everything in* (5 seconds later) "wait did I put my calculator in there?" *checks, sees it* "ok it's there. But...but is it really there? *checks again and stares at it for ten seconds* "ok I just wanted to make sure because I can't forget this"
Yup. Annoying af
I often save twice because I wasn't sure if already saved.
Seems like I'm not the only one who does it.
LOOOOOOL *dies*
linkachu so true but I save it like 10 times in a row at most and 2/3 times at least
linkachu That's like me everytime I play Pokémon
I show a lot of symptoms of anxiety but my parents can't see that. Talking to new people makes me very scared and nervouse and panicy so as a result I am VERY quiet. I go to band practice every week and I have been moved up into a bigger band. It has been tough as I feel like everyone around me is judging my every move. When we practice together I just don't do anything and pretend to play the music because I'm scared of messing up. When I talk people rarely hear me so it sounds like I didn't answer at all and was rude. The band told my parents this and asked if I was okay. I have been banned from going to band practice.. "You don't talk to anyone!" "You come off as flat out rude." "You always looked so sad."
My grandmother tries to make me speak louder and tells me off for being quiet...
I wish they would understand.
Edit:
I started seeing a therapist.
Oh gosh, I relate to this comment too much. I'm 14 and have had anxiety since I was 6. It got worse over the years and my parents FINALLY took me to a therapist. I've been diagnosed with extreme anxiety and moderate to severe depression. My depression feeds off anxiety, and if you wait too long it may happen to you. Please tell your parents about it, because mine didn't have any concerns until i explained my newly embedded depression. It's probably too late now for me, but I've been taking medicine for a week and feel kind of good, less anxiety throughout the day. Anyways, I hope it gets better and I hope it works out for you!!!
S Y D N E Y
It's not too late, I'm nineteen and have had anxiety for I don't know how long. But the only way to get rid of it is to face your fears, make mistakes cry then learn to laugh about it and try again. Otherwise it doesn't go away. I'm fighting it now and it's gradually shrinking. I've humiliated myself, but somehow I'm better now than before. I know it's not the end of the world.
S Y D N E Y you got this! Slowly and gradually...
Am suffering frm depression. I can half relate to ur comment because i don't relate to the anxiety part i can relate to being quiet and plus I'm an introvert. Everyone literally ignores me and says that I'm always sad i dont speak much and even my best frnd ignores me 'cause she thinks her other frnds are better than me or even the best and i never confront her about my problems cause she will never understand no one can understand what i am going thru...😢😢😢
@@vijayanpillai6423
I understand... you're not alone.
Yep most of these hit a mark with me. Definitely do the double check of everything but didn't associate it with my Anxiety. One thing I've noticed personally is conflict over telling people how I am when I'm asked. Tell the truth or the polite lie "I'm good".
I just found your channel. I've watched a few videos this is my first comment. I'm really relieved knowing that what I'm feeling is completely natural. It calmed my anxiety a little bit I don't know if that's the point. Very very informing thank you
