A YouTube video by Dr. Aziz in which he recounts suffering from severe social anxiety — describing self-hatred, isolation (only one or two close friends), avoidance of speaking in groups or to strangers, and not dating — and explains that he later overcame these issues. He encourages viewers to challenge self-doubt and self-criticism, take risks (for example, try exercising and speaking up), and learn to become more 'on your own side.' He invites viewers to subscribe to access many videos where he teaches these methods.
