Thank you for posting this, I am glad that there is more information being given to help those of us who need to see this, it made me feel better and I was glad to see someone who suffered with SAD actually getting up and doing a presentation, I hope to do the same in time.

Yeah I thought it sort of seemed that way too. I assume it's because its aimed at non-socially anxious people. Plus the interviewees are probably guided as to what they say and how they say it.The outside of the outsiders.. My family have that chemical imbalance though noone openly talks about it unless I ask. One of my uncles killed himself because of it and my mother used to have visions of these intangible things. Doesn't it feel slightly I don't know, the wrong point of view to be hearing someone describe themselves this way? I don't feel it possible to grasp the world as they do, to say without outright certainty this is the way I go with the outsider inside me. Something tells me the video is everything I would say if I were an actor playing the part of a socially anxious person but untrue somewhere. Impersonal, disassociated. I don't think living yourself is something turned on at a prompt, it's impossible yet, they have that assurance they do the prompt honor. I'd be careful watching this, it misses something and it seems almost too useful, too understanding, too empathetic.
:yes This. I always knew in the back of my mind I had social anxiety but when a therapist (after several sessions) asked me if I was shy, I became really upset (but tried not to show it). Now, when people have accused me of not having confidence or self esteem, I get so defensive! Not a good way to be - it's comforting knowing that I'm not a weirdo though.And yet, whenever my therapist brought it up I was so defensive and hostile to the idea.
That's exactly how I feel :?Yet, with SA, sometimes you can be similar to others and yet you don't fit in. When you have SA, you have a sense that you could belong and yet something that feels out of your control is keeping you from belonging so that adds another level of outside-ness (if you will), so I really enjoyed that statement.
