Very normal. I suffered the same thing when I was younger. What helped me was finding a group of people who shared the same likes and dislikes that I did. I became less of a solitary person. I joined the drama club, the football team, ran on the track team. Then, shortly after I finished high school, I joined the US Navy. What I did was to expand my horizons. I became friends with persons of different religions, races, and different points of view. This gave me a tremendous boost of self confidence, and a profound awareness of my self worth. My best to you young man.
Well I am doing that at the moment. I guess it'll help in the long run but so far, I still struggle with certain people. I dont feel like myself with them and I look dumb in front of them. I hate it so much cause then they think thats who I really am. I could be expanding my knowledge and feeling great but then once those people come in, its like I didn't learn anything and Im the same dumb person.
IIN for social anxiety to do this?
