Ok, I've been kicking around this idea for a while. Like two years ago, when I was really in the depths of 'social anxiety', as fear of people and all the honeysuckle that goes with it was the dominant aspect in my life, I would go online and read all I could about it. I'm not sure what I was looking for really but incidentally that is how I found this site, as I'm sure many others did as well (in people's intro threads I read over and over "I just typed in lonliness, and found ALL"). One thing I did find which gave me food for thought were people's videos on youtube.
When I found all these videos that people with social phobia were making I started to wonder if I could do the same. I liked watching these, cuz I got to listen to people's stories that I could totaly relate to. There's this one girl, who stoped making videos about a year ago I'm sad to say, whose life really mirrored my own. Here youtube page can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/bishi4me
It seems to have really helped her, and as she made more and more videos you could see the progress she was making. So, what do you think about this? Would you do it? Do you think it could help? I've been tempted for a year now to go out and get a webcam so I could start making some of my own, but I've still got misgivings about it; I'd be so nervous about people seeing me talking about these things, I think I'd have to wear a ski mask in my first few vids, but I really want to give it a try. If I do, I'll be sure to post the link to some of them cuz as this was a community which has helped me somewhat to get over the most miserable phase in my life. Well, I just want to get some feedback on this before I actually go through with it.
