Yes! Represent us accurately! This is definitely what we need more of from our community educational video(s) that you can share with friends/family(since they never believe me alone, for some reason). It's amazing because it brings up common problems and reasonable solutions to them! Like a cute little Social Anxiety DIY/tutorial.

Randomly looked up social anxiety and see your video and remembering you from way back! Your video is exactly what I've noticed. Realised this when dealing with more shy or anxious people than myself: best thing is to just go with their flow, and not making them feel self-conscious. I can certainly relate to feeling immediately self-conscious and defensive as soon as someone comments on my quietness, particularly when they do so in an accusing fashion. Hope you're doing well Wing

@@Wing-wh5ih Yeah I'm doing good Wing (flattered you remember me!). Stopped vloggin a while back, but quite a bit's gone on in my life (hopefully for the better). And that's before the recent events of this world. Social Anxiety community seems a lot different from back in the day... so it's very nice to see a familiar face :-)

When I was in middle school, one of my teachers had everyone write their name on a piece of paper and we had to pass it around and everyone had to write one good thing/complement on each persons paper. I remember the teacher telling the class, before we even started, “Do not write quiet. Quiet is not a complement”… When I got my paper back I had like 10 “Quiet”s written on it 🤦♀️

Thank you for talking about this. In my country (Poland) there is no even term "social anxiety" in day to day - language. I've learned that term only watching english speaking videos when I was close to 20. Before that, I knew I have kind of general "anxiety", I've even talked to my elementary teacher about it and it looked like the best joke she heard. She humiliated me in front of all class labeling me as "the most shy kid in the group". I've cried hearing this, cause I didn't even know I am shy, I thought I am funny and kind girl. Since that day, I've always thought there is something wrong with me. Later on, there was also a teacher who asked me in front of all kids who were bullying me, whether "I am afraid of them". This time, I was not even angry at her. I learned I am weird and it's not okay to be me. I really hate how they treated me and I've done lot of inner child healing over it, but the emotions are still here when you talked about it. I hate how sensitive kids are treated by teachers. And especially women were so cruel about this. Men were trying to make me comfortable. If teachers had idea what social anxiety is, and knew how to help, I wouldn't even have it now. In adult life fortunately people seem more compassionate.

I too had to learn about social anxiety through KZitem videos. Even though I've been through high school and university here in Australia, they don't talk much about mental illness in general because everyone is mostly happy. Some people here still don't know the difference between social anxiety and introversion. The good thing is at least we know what it is and we'll be able to help future kids who struggle with it.

@@Wing-wh5ihI see. Ignorant people living in their own bubble. Mental issues are soo ignored. I've watched hundreds of videos to find out what is wrong with me and if there is any hope. The MBTI personalities etc. And it only told me I am meant to be that way. Only months of introspective work I've done with traumas, beliefs made me realize that it's not who I am and it's not genetically determinated. I feel I am starting to breathe cause those emotions don't control me as much as they used to.

Same here. Before learning of social anxiety I felt like I had no control of my life and I felt like a mindless zombie. But since discovering social anxiety, I've been aware of my feelings and surroundings. Unfortunately mental illness runs in my family but I'm glad I am at least educated on it and I have some hope of doing something about it.

@@Wing-wh5ih I am sure you will, years spent in ignorant society are very detrimental and affect every aspect of life so getting out is not easiest thing but can be done. I've always felt like a weirdo that nobody wants to connect with. But those experiences actually made us closer to people who suffered the same. And having struggles doesn't mean people will hate you for it, it actually makes us more relatable to others who also don't have the perfect life. The worst thing is the feeling that other people live in the other, happy reality and we are out. But it's just the anxiety causing it.

My tutor said to me her son barely talks on our phone call and I said “haha just like me” and she laughed out loud and said “I KNOW!! I told my husband about you and how I struggle to get a word out of you! Haha and also how you speak so quietly” and my eyes welled up, I got a lump in my throat cause I’d been working so hard just to go to every class and when it felt like she was making fun of me I started crying and couldn’t speak and I think she noticed cause she changed the subject immediately

The first week in high school was off to a great start but then when we had a group project in history this one loud guy that sang random songs in my group said like "sing with me" and then like randomly he stared at me and waited for me to finish the lyrics and I'm like ??? so he straight out said "you're so quiet" and "you know what? you're so fkn boring" so I just sat there first cuz I was used to being called quiet but boring? never, and the way he said it made me extremly sad. I felt like crying so I just took my bag and ran out of the classroom and rushed into a tolette and called my mom while crying my eyes out. Like DUDE, why is it so hard for you to understand that we're all different? People need to rethink their words and sentences in their heads before they just say something. I didn't know back then that I had social anxiety cuz I only thought I was shy, I recently got diagnosed with ADD and Social anxiety. I love your channel Wing, keep up the good work! :D

You have comments switched off on your cover of That’s Life, so found another of your videos to say how wonderful it is! There are a zillion covers of the song, and it’s really hard to perform it in a way that is both unique and beautiful, but you succeeded.

Thanks Ben, there are times when I'm pretty frustrated when my singing isn't as good as I'd like it to be so it's very encouraging to hear this from you. Also, thanks for going out of your way to leave a comment. I don't know why the comments were disabled and I can't enable them so it may be a glitch from KZitem.
