Why am i such a self-conscious freak?

Question

I am like really conscious of what i look like and what people think of me! I get all shy in front of people and have awkward silences when i am to scared to say anything!

I am sick of it, i want to be chatty and bubbly.

Is there any way to help me relax in front of people?

And does anyone plan what to say before they say it? Or it is just me being conscious of what i say?

Answer 1

omg i plan what im going to say! but i never go through with it cz it just me being annoyed thinking rite im gunna say this. like after a arguement i then suddenly get  a load of comebacks i could have used against them.

im self-conscious its usually like low self-esteem or anxiety or something.

we just have to learn to relax. i cant seem to do it but im sure u can :D

Answer 2

If youre young, this is pretty normal and it will get better. I was like that when I was a kid and teen. It takes kindof growing up and accepting yourself to become comfortable with yourself. It sucks that theres no quick fix for this. If it makes you feel better though, Im 22 now and Im never afraid of speaking and expressing myself!
