      You don’t have to act that my boy. Try and learn to accept that people believe things you don’t and move on. Trying to bring someone down like that makes you look really immature.

    Hero. Role model. Inspiration. He helped me realize that being a social introvert isn't bad. So many of my friends wonder what's wrong with me because I don't talk and I don't stand in their circles. Until I read his blog and watched some of these videos... I never even knew I was an introvert... I thought there was something wrong with me... thank you, Adam. You (and this sounds cheesy) saved me from feeling like a worthless freak for the rest of my life.

    this almost made me tear up bad. adam young and his music has always been an important part of my life, its not just music, its art, and passion and thats what love about him. Ive always been introverted and noticingly awkward, its something i've lived with for the last 19 years of my life, but watching this and listening to what adam had to say about himself changed my point of view.
    It's okay to be awkward, its okay to be shy, if you just be yourself, what else matters?

    I've always been painfully shy and introverted and there's an interview where he says he doesn't see that as "bad" or something he needs to change about himself...it just is....that really opened my eyes and I sort of stopped being down on myself about my social awkwardness and just tried to be me, like he does. It's a lot easier when you aren't trying to fight who you are......Thanks, Adam...and yes, like others here have said......you are my Hero, too!

    It is so great to be able to relate to such an awesome, talented and overall nice person! I was super shy as a young kid and it was so hard at times to be able to be around groups of people. It is nice to know that someone I admire, respect so much, and look up to, understands what I went through and still do (although I have gotten a little better with the shyness) So Adam, thanks for being who you are and sharing such wonderful music and for inspiring us all in so many ways! YOU ARE AWESOME!!

I was a shy girl and got pushed down but now in my twenties i rose up i believed in my dreams and two years later i have found myself in Melbourne designing and making fashion and loving every single minute. All my creative energy and emotion goes into the art of making clothes. I am so happy for the both of us that we are making our dreams happen we are pushing past our fears to create and make this world a better place xo

    I've been a socially awkward introvert all my life, I didn't even know about Asperger's syndrome but, an online questionnaire just told me I am most likely an aspie. But, Adam Young is inspiring me that one does not need to have excellent social skills to be successful, sometimes pure talent can take you places without being an extrovert!

    I don't really get stage fright, unless I'm unprepared for what I'm supposed to do, it does help if you close your eyes (if possible sometimes dance moves don't allow for this) It also helps to stare at the stage lights, cause it blocks out the audience.

I hate being on my own doing something in front of anyone, unless I know them really well, and I can only sing on my own in front of my sister. I can't stand giving an answer in class, I go bright red and I actually cannot talk to anyone I don't know unless it's online. I'm trying to be more confident, the internet and God helps :) I LOVE ADAM :)x

    walk away silently. I am a singer in a band at my church
    and humans sometimes want to talk to me but i just never know what to
    say or how to say what they wanna hear and i perfer just hiding
    behind the sounds of music or silence. My brother
    hates this about me saying that thats why i was depressed
    before but now i have Christ and i can openly say am who i am.

    I used to be really introverted, to the point I was mute until middle school. But one day in a group of people my friend noticed I was getting anxious and said to me quietly "Nobody is judging you" and I just joined in the conversation and it was a lot easier than feeling awkward. I'm more comfortable feeling free.

  • @apocryphalveracity
    @apocryphalveracity Před 11 lety

    I like to think about being such an extreme introvert. It feels like getting back to the grassroots for me. I'm very introverted, but I have a tendency to put up an extroverted shell a lot of the time. That's why I act, actually; I've landed two lead roles thus far, because I've been practicing acting my whole life. It feels nice to realize that quiet honesty, reflection and love for what you do and who you are can be satisfying and safe.
