How do I cope?

I hate life sometimes! What really gets me down is not being able to communicate. I am practically speach-less in most situations! I feel like a complete freak

I hate not being able to have a conversation, not even with my friend some days. Hate it when my friend and others around me are confident and I am thinking what can I say. With my friend I should be relaxed but feel tense and irritated at myself.

Does anyone else get this?

Hey there. Yes I completely understand what your feeling. It took me so long to finally get comfortable with friends. It will get better, I was always scared if i said something stupid or humiliated myself but after all their just your friends. If they can't handle you being "shy" then that's their problem there's alot of people who will be your friend. I don't really know what to say to help you feel more comfortable I guess just let time do it for ya. Eventually you'll get more comfortable! Very Happy Good Luck!

I think almost everyone here gets this :0)
So don't feel like a freak.
Read some stories about other people: link find out that you are not alone and how other people dealt with it.
Good luck!!! Very Happy

Yeah, I hate it when I don't talk around my friends. I feel like an outsider. However, I like the fact that my friends still ask me to hang out with them. I find that very accepting. (I am aware that I do frustrate them sometimes because I am so quite. However, they frustrate me with the insensitive things they say to me.....However, aren't friends supposed to annoy one another. If family members fight among themselves, why shouldn't friends. The way I see it. As long as we stay together, I don't mind being mildly annoyed at others while others are mildly annoyed at me.) I used to believe that my shyness would repulse everyone around me. However, these friends have proven me wrong. I am thankful of that.

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel. I often feel 'on edge' when talking to friends. I shouldn't feel like that.
