Not totally true. I have a high metabolism and I wasn't really popular and I only had a few friends and I barely scraped by on my grades. And I would definitely go back. I miss those days. Just passed my 10th anniversary too. Damn time flies and I'm getting old.
No high school is horrible now seriously don't come back it may have been nice for U but the pressure is over whelming now and U feel like U can't get a job unless U do all these stupid subjects U don't wanna do like biology and physics
I have it hard, I'm antisocial, shy, and awkward. And to make matters worse, I'm moving to a different high school for freshman year. I don't know anyone there and it's the start of high school :'(
With social anxiety you're not thinking about all the great people you're missing out on by not talking to them you're thinking about ways you can get out of talking to them so you don't look stupid and awkward in front of them
Stupid or awkward just by talking? I feel awkward when there is communication with somebody who is sitting next to me even if it's just a look that's fine
yes, I assume that's what happens to not-antisocial people (since it's certainly not happening to über-introverts). Join drama. get to know drama chicks. intimately.
And I soppose it's more complicated then telling the voice to shut up. Why would Saying something embarrassing to a stranger or whoever matter if you have no intensions of creating a relationship with that person. I feel like not communicating with people will cause that person to feel awkward by feeling like the odd person out.
It’s the extreme fear of being scrutinized and judged by others in social or performance situations: Social anxiety disorder can wreak havoc on the lives of those who suffer from it.
Although they recognize that the fear is excessive and unreasonable, people with social anxiety disorder feel powerless against their anxiety. They are terrified they will humiliate or embarrass themselves.
That's how I used to feel in high school to a minimal extent it was terrifying. and two years later I feel regret for not being more outgoing. So now I don't think about it at all and sometimes I do say things embarrassing or that fall flat but I always come through because there is no other choice but to keep going on and learn from your experiences. It's the only way to gain confidence in a social setting. I became desensitized. no longer afraid of failure. And I'm glad. I've met some very interesting people the last few years.
Funny because looking back, yes I had the best time. I didn't have a fast metabolism, but i got slim in HS with exercise and diet. I had friends, and I guess I was kinda popular, but wouldn't think so at the time because I had low self steem and social anxiety that have always push through.
