This debilitating disorder has its source largely in trauma, sustained early in life. Critical, judgemental upbringings along with repetitive violent communication tend to traumatize people leaving their nervous systems overly sensitive. The person becomes hypervigilent and overly attuned to the outside voices. Their self esteem suffers and an inferiority complex may ensue. While understanding the sources of social anxiety is important, the reality is that the patterns and the neural pathways are already in place thus demanding a cognitive undoing of the condition.

Victoria,
I just did a quick youtube search on Social Anxiety, and your title intrigued me to watch, I’ve long been wondering what the reasons are, and WOW you described my familiy life to a tee. Now all I feel is anger towards my family you know? They were never NICE people really, they would do ANYTHING for me, but the mental abuse was at insane levels. You are an angel for making this video and I thank you for sharing your knowledge and support for sufferers of SA

years of moving also made me a shy person. I just got more and more introverted, and it’s been downhill from there 
it sucks.

While I might not have SA, I can relate
3:08 contains excellent insight; that other people’s opinions and judgments matter. It probably stems from a (incorrect) lesson I learned as a kid, “Always listen to what other people say. You’re ignorant, they’re not. They know what’s really going on and you don’t.”. So when negative people judged me, I just accepted it as truth and believed it. I’m working on overcoming these negative thoughts myself and becoming more self-supportive.

Hey giggidy87: Even when i drink I cannot loosen up. You are a lucky person to have that escape.
Drinking for me breaks down my barriers. And by barriers I mean the barriers that keep me happy. When the barriers go away, all I hear is negativity.
