Entering as a freshman..?

Question

I really need advice. I've asked this before but nobody answered :[

So, i'm going into highschool and I'm extremely nervous! Like wayy more than everyone else I know, I'm really shy, i'm not all that outgoing..can anyone give me some advice to have my freshman year go smoothly as possible?

Answer 1

If you're nervous about people, then you should join more extracurricular activities so you can get to know more of them. If you avoid these situations, it'll only get worse. The only way to get used to being around people is to experience it. Also, try not to care about what others are thinking about you (I know, I know..it's one of those things that are easy to say but hard to do, but over time you'll get better at it). After all, can what they think about you REALLY alter your destiny? And the more you care about what others think, the more nervous you'll be. It's kind of a no-win situation. You're nervous...AND you can't make new friends. Even if people may not like you, they'll like you better if you are confident.

Also, doing well in school and contributing to activities (after school activities, competitions,student council...) will earn you respect. If you're capable, people will at least respect you. And you may even become so involved that you forget about your nervousness. Focusing on a task is a good way to divert your attention away from unpleasant thoughts and feelings.

Basically, focus more on doing things and participating rather than on what others may be thinking about you or other unpleasant feelings. There's no point in dwelling in something that makes you uncomfortable and that is unproductive.

Hope I helped ^_^ Hope you'll have a nice freshman year!

Answer 4

what you need to do is go and be yourself, the best way to do that is join as many clubs as you can, I know you might be nervous but if a club interests you then join it, you can always quit and then you have friends and a new hobby! Don't over think anything either, it isn't a big deal. Good luck! You will do great!
