How can be myself in the public?

Question

i never feel comfortable in public or crowded areas. i really don't want to give a s h i t about people and live my life like there's no one around, but there's something preventing me from that. it's really painful. i'm a 17 year old guy and want to have fun, but all i do is stay at home and feel isolated. it all started since my adolescent years. can u give me some tips?

Answer 1

its simple you just have to pretend to care and get your butty out of the house! just do out somewhere it doesnt matter where and talk to people

Answer 2

Well, without getting too deep, try for the simple stuff first, like a part time job. That's a good way to interact with other people with out a lot of pressure. After all, these folks just will be working with you, not judging you. If you can't do that, you may have agoraphobia. It's the fear of going outside. In this case, some medication, a little counseling, and all should go well. How about church? or the Library? Keep it small and work up to the mall.
