Social Anxiety and Creativity

Vlog discussing social anxiety, creativity, public speaking, and overcoming fear.

Creativity comes with the territory of being born. So does anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and other mental health issues. I think creative expression can be a good emotional outlet for these negative states of mind. The creative impulse is as natural as fear.

In the video I talk about how I spoke to a couple 5th grade classes about art with my friend Kristin Helling.

I was super nervous at first, but I’m so glad I did this. We had a lot of fun answering the kid’s questions.

Passion trumps anxiety.

If you struggle with anxiety, how do you cope with it? Leave any thoughts you may have below!

  2. That is a really cool vid. I don’t suffer from social anxiety, but I am anxious (very anxious) about things in my life so I can sort of relate. You are obviously very intelligent and you are more artistically creative than the average bear IMO. I think that, as you age, you will feel more comfortable in your own skin and probably notice a decrease in your SA. Also, being a dad, it was funny hearing you talk of kids as “creatures” I lol, because I used to think of kids as annoying and bothersome. But when I became a parent I completely changed – it is similar to thinking about your friend and not wanting to let her down when she said “pls don’t make me do this alone”. As a parent I never even hesitate to want to help my boy – it delights me. I think you would be a great dad, and then kids won’t seem like alien creatures, they will be kids that you like hang out with, and teach them and have fun with – it is a great feeling. Anyway good luck and keep up the great work!

What a broker can is try to find individuals as well as coordinators which often best complement those wants.
