Hey Steve: Stopping the Social Anxiety

Ever since I was a kid, I've had a problem with being painfully shy. It's affected my life. You know, as a kid, I was always a loner. I'd go to clubs. I'd stay by myself in the corner. You'd go to a club and go stand in the corner? Yeah, I'd let my friends go dance on the floor, and I'd kind of stay by myself. I had anxiety even coming here. Do you have any advice how I can get over my social anxiety? Let me ask you this. What is it that you'd like to do? What would you like to do? I mean, you want to be able to what? Just get over my anxiety of being shy. Coming here, I had anxiety for four days. You had anxiety for four days for coming here? Yeah. Well, you made it. Ever been married? I'm with someone now, yes. Huh? I'm with someone now, yes. You're with someone now? Oh, you ain't that shy. You got any kids? Yeah. So I'm not a total loss. No, you're not. You actually might be further along than you think. You just keep going back to this little dark place that you created for yourself when you've actually gone past it. You can't drive your car looking in the rearview mirror. There's a reason that the rearview mirror is this big and the windshield is this big. That's a clue. If you keep looking in your rearview mirror, you're going to crash your car. So what you keep doing is just to me seeming. You keep looking at what you're not accomplishing. I can't get over this. I can't get over this. And you don't realize what all you've gotten over. Stop saying what you are not and start saying what you are. Stop saying what you don't have and start taking inventory of what you do have. You a lot better off than you think. Matter of fact, come on down here. You about to be on TV. Come on, come on, come on down here. Yeah, come on, yeah, I see you, I see you. So, sitting over here. Now, I want you to hold this mic. This is what I want you to do. That's my teleprompter. I read whatever they tell me to do. Now, I want you to read that, toss us to break. Ladies and gentlemen, closing us out, Andrea. We've got a great show for you today. Up next, Terry Crews, Harvey Hundreds, and we're going to tell you how to save your relationship. I'm Andrea, and we'll be right back.
