Basically, I'm not the most confident person ever. I also have serious problems with public speaking, when giving a speech in front of the class, I start to hyperventilate and panic, which is awful because I wonder what people are thinking of me! I want to be able to talk to people, it's just since I moved schools on my own and left my friends i've been forced to make new friends, and in my group at lunchtime I just sit there feeling depressed and don't say anything. I'm kind of scared they don't like me and can't get the courage to say anything. Since I moved schools everything's went downhill. Please help me get my confidence back.

    I used to be that way too. Took a long time for me to come out of my "shell." And I still get like that from time to time...

    I used to be pretty quiet/shy and now am the complete opposite. I used to feel the same way. But what i realized is that it was more or less mostly in my head and that they didn't think any thing bad of me at all nor do they think bad of you. They don't even know you yet. I would say don't expect to be completely talkative at once but start slow and talk to a few people, someone that seems very talkative and easy to talk to and move on from there. Hope i helped.
