Anxiety is the Greatest! (jk it can go jump off a microwave)

So Anxiety, how many problems do you want to cause? Anxiety: yes

anxiety is like hearing the boss music but never seeing the boss

i also have social anxiety and feel like whenever im around people i just cant relax fully but then when im alone i keep replaying all my interactions with people that i worry about them extra :”

What social anxiety is to me -constant depression -the feeling that everybody's watching me every day -the feeling of people judging every act and step i do or take -people not liking me just because of the clothes I wear -being called "fat" or "skinny" -the constant feeling of being in a spotlight (and not in a good way) -overthinking way too much -not being able to sleep or oversleeping

"Hello stranger with a degree, I'm here to tell you why I'm broken." It's official, I'm saying this to my therapist.

"Hello stranger with a degree, I'm here to tell you why I'm broken!" Story of my life...

It's okay, Jaiden, we all love you, you bring so much joy to us!

As someone with bad social anxiety, I can relate heavily to this

Anxiety: “What if it happens?” Me: “But it won’t” Anxiety: “But what if it does?” idk, you got me there

I can just imagine Jaiden recording herself choking like a turtle

The best is getting through something that’s making you anxious and immediately finding the next thing to be anxious

As an autistic person, I have social anxiety from time to time. Like there's things that make me go over the roof -texting at the wrong time -trying to explain something until you accidentally mispronounce a word I can go on and on

"I'll keep all my emotions right here and then one day, I'll D I E "

Anxiety is like when a video game's music starts to pick up but you cant find any enemies

I decided to rewatch this because I had social anxiety hit me in the face like a bus over something that probably won't happen for a long time.

Jaiden, I honestly thank you a lot for raising mental health awareness online massively in the last few years. It's become so much more complex since then so seeing you in 2018 talking about something like anxiety which is a very well-known and accepted concept nowadays like it's something people don't really understand or know exists is kind of shocking, and brave. I'm pretty sure this video actually helped eleven year old me figure out I had suffered from anxiety for most of my life which is something that feels weird to say I accepted as a fact of my life ages ago now.

Imagine being Jaiden's roomate and then hearing "PEE IS STORED IN THE"

going to bed Anxiety: "HEY REMEMBER THAT MISTAKE YOU MADE LITERALLY 12 YEARS AGO WHEN YOU WERE A LITERAL CHILD AND DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER? YEAH YOU SURE MESSED UP THERE HUH!

I don't know if this is anxiety or not. But I always have the weird feeling that people are reading my mind. And I get really scared to talk to certain people. Because I'm scared that they're reading my mind. Like people I try to avoid. Because I think they know what I'm thinking.

It's kinda nice to finally see some real representation of anxiety/social anxiety. A few months ago I was diagnosed with ADHD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, & adjustment disorder, with low self-esteem on top of all that (they also said they might reconsider me for OCD & depression in the future) :) so fun fr (I'm ab to go on a small rant btw, just a warning) But yes, even though I have some different experiences, this video is so accurate for my life as well. I have quite a few friends, but it'd be easier to run 17 laps around the Earth, speak every single language fluently, and end global warming than to talk to someone I don't know or speak in front of a large group of people. And I constantly feel like everyone's judging me and only pretending to like me, or the entire school secretly hates me and won't admit it. I don't feel like I'm allowed to talk about my struggles with any of my friends, even tho they're all amazing people, because deep down it feels like they don't really think of me as a friend and if I opened up it would dampen the mood of our friendship or make them feel like they're responsible. I feel bad whenever I consider therapy too, mostly because I feel guilty about needing my parents to pay for it, plus talking about my problems makes me feel ashamed & embarrassed. So I've just been keeping everything inside for a long time & it'll probably stay that way for longer 🥲 Thank you for taking the time to read this, sorry for the rant lol. Have a wonderful day :)
