Hey LadyofFireandLace and everyone else who looking at this thread and cares, I watched it! I wasn't optimistic that any video could help me but this one has potential. I felt it could probably help me. I'll try it! I like how it says you have to quiet down your brain and then you could look at people and you have to have enough self-esteem, build your self-esteem! One of the things I didn't notice about myself was that I never quiet down my brain and say to myself, "there's nothing wrong with how you look."! Especially, especially in that sentence is I never quieted down my brain! bc my brain will probably automatically go in accordance with past memory inside of being looked down upon by my presence in the past, about the way I looked and I had damaged hair, etc at one point at the time and kept it in and didn't express it out, didn't express myself, and that's why subconsciously I'm always having anxiety and I never quieted down my brain and said the truth "there's nothing wrong with the way you look."
I hope this video helps me at least a bit more with eye contact difficulty/anxiety! Thanks so extraordinarily LadyofFireandLace 'cause when I have this eye contact anxiety I feel abnormal and that normal people think I'm crazy or something and don't want to be around me or my friend even though everything else is normal and this abnormality comes from the negative school experiences I had in Junior High but it probably can be fixed.
