Ever since I started high school, I thought I would be a more “evolved” person and leave my middle school past behind me, and that’s what it looked like the first year. But not I’m a sophomore and over the past month I’ve been reverting back to the shy turtle persona I had back in middle school. I’ve had 2 failed attempts at answering the door, and refuse to speak to anyone over the phone. I also recently had a class presentation I had to do and I normally don’t feel scared but this time as I was presenting I felt like I was going to implode, same if I try to argue with someone, except I try to run away. I know I have some form of social anxiety but I have no idea what happened to cause this, and I think it’s going to get worse if I don’t find a reason.

Did you know that happens to a lot of teens? Most people grow out of it. Don't sweat it and work at it a little at a time.
ReplyYour anxiety does sound pretty severe. I had anxiety really bad in highschool to the point where sweat would drip from my arms when giving presentations. Coming from a guy who had really bad anxiety. The only cure is to keep putting yourself into situations that normally give you anxiety, over time you become used to it. Everyone has anxiety, to a certain degree. It's just some have learned to control theirs better. That is when they look confident. That is all you have to do. Also there is nothing wrong with being shy. I mean you should try to talk to people now and then, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Just don't let it make you a hermit. Most of all keep putting yourself in those situations. Answer the door, make some calls. If you don't expose yourself to these things more, you will always feel anxious when faced with them.
