Heyy my name is anonymous. I am 15 years old and go to high school. I think I am a pretty nice, friendly person but I can never express myself or be myself around others but of this problem I have.

My problem is that I am extremely shy and self-conscious. I have heard of kids who are shy, but I feel like I am more than just shy. When I am in school, I am always very concerned about what people think about me. I hate when anyone looks at me because I know they are thinking something about me.

I am always so self conscious about every thing I do. I can't get up to sharpen my pencil or go to the bathroom but I know if I get up, everyone will look at me. I can never talk in the classroom. In fact, I am completely mute. I can never say anything to any of my classmates because I am too worried about what they think of me. In other words, when I'm in class, I cannot speak out loud because I am too scared of possible negative feedback.

I am always thinking negative thoughts in my head all the time, which is also a problem. I am always very hard on myself and always criticize myself alot........
These are all problems that I have but never talk about to anyone.



Is there something wrong with me? What should I do to get rid of all these problems from my life???

Thanks

What should you do?.. Just Hell Screw the others and talk.. Dont be shy and what if they Judge you?..

Dont be afraid to live your life.. its your life and you do what ever you want.. Dont be like that.. Talk in the class When you walk around with a worried Experssion you give the others the "Right" to judge you

Dont give a Crap about the others.. Who Cares?

.....the thing is, that's impossible for me to do..

I had this for a while, namely when I was under a lot of stress. I didn't want people too look at me as I instantly thought they'd be talking behind my back or something. But in most cases they weren't. Just take it a step at a time and come out of your shell.

It ain´t "impossible", kid. I am authistic, which makes it extremely difficult for me to talk to others, but i still do it. if i can, you can do it better.

Furthermore, i agree with Gray. What do you have to lose? You are scared to be judged. But because you are so silent in class and around people, they already DO!
Open that mouth of yours and talk to the people around you. Some people will like you, tadah, friends. And some people won't, hell to those people.

If you don't, you'll only be made fun off, will never get a girlfriend, and won't even become a crazy cat man because you are too scared to talk to the pet shop owner.
Easy choice if you ask me.

I'm your age! High five, brosef! I'm shy too. And in high school. But mate, what you have to do is just join clubs/sports. Just talk. Talk to other shy kids. Just be friendly. No one will heckle you. Promise.

I am 15 and in high school as well.

You don't have to feel that way at all. Who cares what people think about you or who you are? If you're happy with yourself that is good enough. I know how you feel completely. Just be confident, and keep your head up. You have nothing at all to lose.

They're just people, just like you. No one is better than others in terms of my perspective. But, it's glad you recognized you have a problem socially.

Perhaps you have a social disorder? I am shy in class too! I am usually shy towards people I don't know, but I tend to try to break out of it.

As what others said - I recommend joining clubs and clubs. You have NOTHING to lose.

If you make effort to join in with the crowd [Positively, of course!] you'll be accepted. People talk behind people's back all the time, don't worry about it. They're just immature and have nothing better to do.

I'm no psychologist, but honestly what you're describing sounds a lot like social anxiety. I say this because I have extreme social anxiety disorder. Like REALLY bad. I've had it all my life but it started to interfere with my day-to-day living right around your age. I know this is the last thing anyone who's shy wants to hear, but therapy can help.

Hey man, it happens to the best of us. That's how I've been living, but I decided come next school year, I'm changing that. Who gives a shit what people think about you? When they're perfect, then they can judge. Just be yourself. You'll find out being yourself is a lot easier, less stressful, and actually allows you to enjoy life. If people are talking about you, or pick on you, they're jealous. Just live life, forget what people think about you, and be happy.
