Ganymede
anymede is the largest satellite in our solar system. It is larger than Mercury and Pluto, and three-quarters the size of Mars. If Ganymede orbited the Sun instead of orbiting Jupiter, it would easily be classified as a planet.
Sungazing…

Spiked drinks!
Drugs are sometimes used to assist a sexual assault. Because of the effects of these drugs, victims may be physically helpless, unable to refuse sex, and can't remember what happened. The drugs often have no color, smell, or taste and are easily added to flavored drinks without the victim's knowledge.
Graphene
Graphene has an extremely high electrical conductivity, allowing electrons to fly though it almost like photons (particles of light) through a vacuum.
The city is not for everyone!
Have you ever felt alone even if you live in a metropolis with more than 7million other people? I am sure some of you have, at least once!

But what is this time machine, actually? Firstly it’s an impressive structure, then you try and put below the border between France and Switzerland, near Geneva, the biggest, most complex scientific instrument in the world, to date.

Sustainable seafood represents a win-win relationship with our oceans that can endure forever. When humans consume seafood, we leave an indelible mark on the ecosystem. It is critically important for our own well-being, and that of the oceans, that we understand the impacts of our choices.

i left highschool and change to homeschool just cuz of this
@Dustii7 And by the way I hope I didn’t offend you by what I said and if I did i’m sorry.
Very interesting video.
@Dustii7 Well I have SAD as well and I agree with hightek669 this is actually my first comment on this subject even though I’ve seen many videos on this subject and the only reason I do so is because this is my second profile and my friends can’t access my comments so I feel better about participating in these videos.On my first profile I wouldn’t dare even favorite or like a video involving this subject because there is a chance people I know might see it.
@thorfoxxx It’s hard to believe
But it’s true.
Im living with someone in real life who thinks this disorder is completely made up bullshit. I can’t even comprehend how ignorant someone can be.
when i see hot people with s.a.d it makes me feel a bit better
Sorry hightek669 I disagree I myself have S.A.D and I find that YouTube commenting is one of the best ways to be social, as all people see of me are the words I wrote so I’m not as afraid of being judged I am also in a calm environment and can think about what I am going to say b4 I say it, so that weird brain thing doesn’t turn on. Like he said, the Internet is a safe haven for us. At least, that’s my opinion.
A person w/ the most severe and highest form of social anxiety won’t post a comment on these YouTube social anxiety videos, in fear of people whom they know seeing their comment(s) and then keeping it to themselves. They are afraid that they will then go tell other people about your mental disorder, look at you weird, laugh at you, and judge you. There are people who are just too afraid to participate in these videos by commenting, so they keep quiet and keep to themselves.
@wiley12aka there is hope in Christ.
I got over it pretty quick as I was an intelligent teen. I learned about self esteem on the Internet and I managed to completely change my self image.
I did this by using positive self affirmations. Unfortunatly this made me narcissistic, which causes some serious problems later. Although I’d achieved social self confidence, which I enjoyed only for the last year of high school, at the first year of college I had an emotional breakdown. I had delusions of grandeur.
Okay well what I remember from my experience was the sheer intensity of the anxiety, I always knew rationally that being disliked by my peers wasn’t the end of the world, but I felt real terror. Some social situations were literally unbearable. Thinking back one thing that also stands out for me is this major inferiority complex I had.
I thought that if people got to know me, even a little bit, they would be so shocked at how weird I was that they would tell everyone in school.
@osmex4real HELP ME…..WHAT IS IT??
@XxEvE1986xX
@sprjcube It is not uncommon for people to fear public speaking. I think I learned arly on that the world was not a safe place…with an unhealthy, dysfunctional family, and I was bullied in school. I can’t speak for you but you may fear being laughed at. I think that is why people hate to go before others to speak. I had to learn to overcome a lot of that when I did public speaking.
@LizardKing52 have you sought out help with counseling. I have suffered from anxiety at different times of my life.

im 19 and have been suffering for 4 years. i have really great friends but the worst outlook on life, i fear that ill lose all my friends eventually and end up alone and misarable in a job that im unhappy with. i know thinking like this is unhealthy, but i just cant seem to help it :/
@Ultrareallism that sounds more like sociopathy
Seeing as how most people are complete dumb fucks, I am kind of glad I have this. I can’t stand people.
This guy understands social anxiety better than anyone I’ve seen before. He’s nailing every point on the head.
…Except the medication thing. I see no difference between an anti-depressant and a narcotic. Mind-altering substances that a messed up person can’t feel good without. The only difference is people’s attitude towards them.
If you want to feel good for real, you have to do it by your own conscious choice. Otherwise you’re just a junkie living on a high.
@sprjcube im in college now and class presentation and participation has become the biggest problem to me

this video made me read myself
Another invented medical problem with no markers, just a docs opinion and what a money spinner for Big Pharma. This entire interview is so obviously scripted. A good life coach or counselor or EFT practitioner can get better results without resorting to drugs, drugs, drugs. People like those two aim at turning shy people into victims instead of showing them the way out. I have seen lots of clients change their thinking and get a life that they love . Get a coach, not a prescription
@Jo – You refer to an fascinating position there. Not every person has the capacity to guarantee these effects are undertaken in the accepted approach and functional tips such as those you have provided will help support the problems to a much larger level than it is presently.
Of course, what a fantastic website and illuminating posts, I surely will bookmark your website.All the Best!
I really like your writing style clear and well planned
Remember, do not force a person to go in front of a crowd if he or she don’t want, maybe it will be the cause to make them afraid more, that can cause to phobia.
