I get really nervous around people?!
Question: I get really nervous around people.?
at 15 I quit school because of bullying etc. Don't feel like talking about it . So I decided I would just get my GED at 18 so basically for 3 years I did nothing but stay home and hardly any human contact my dad works alot.
So when I got 18 I was going to class for my GED. And I was with alot of people, my heart started pounding really hard and really nervous, I felt like everyone was starring at me too. I don't think I have any disorder I'm just not used to being with people and it's tripping me out. I never was like this when I was in high school. I really want a girlfriend, but i know no girl will like me like this.
So what should I do to get used to people.? Health Question & Answer

oh my goodness my story is almost exact dude. im 16 right now. In 7th grade i quit school because of same reasons. I homeschooled ever since and for the past 2 years i have been studying to get my GED as well. i can take it at 17 I think. I had major friend problems and i got really depressed. And because i was hardly in contact with people I developed social anxiety and it's very hard for me to be around people now. I am on anxiety medication now and It has been amazing! I'm in a good mood, I'm starting conversations and I leave the house way mor. We should chat I think we have a lot in common. Please email me I've never met anyone with a story so close to mine. my email is booboo.2512@yahoo.comHealth Question & Answer
I am like that too. I'm 14. When I'm with my friends or people I know i can get downright annoying, but around strangers I get BEYOND nervous. I cannot walk correctly in public, I feel like everyone is staring at me, and when someone points out that I'm doing something funny, I about die. I'm not anti-social or anything like that. I don't want to drop out; It's just really annoying when i go ANYWHERE and I can't function properly. There's probably a medical name for it and I'm pretty sure it's a mental disorder.

If you have only recently started being with people (under 6 months), it will most probably get better with time.
You may still want to talk to a therapist/counselor as they will probably give you some tips on minimizing anxiety (e.g. relaxation techniques) and to build your confidence. He/she will also help you find ways of building up a social support network.

I think you have social anxiety disorder. Google it and see if the symptoms match your personality or go to a doctor and describe to him/her how you feel. You can get help. There are lots of good medications for this disorder actually, that have very few negative side effects.Health Question & Answer
Oh my God.....this is scary.
Im going through the same thing, except I am 16. I decided to just be homeschooled rather than drop out. But I am also very nervous around people.
You probably have the same disorder as me. Go to a psychologist and they will help you, I promise, it will save your life.Health Question & Answer

Your story is very similar to mine. I dropped out when I was 14-15 because of depression, and in the past few years I haven't achieved anything and just stay at home, have no friends and I rarely have human contact that isn't my immediate family. I've tried going to TAFE to get my school certificate equivalent but I quit that too. Ever since leaving high school I think I've developed social anxiety and it's like I've forgotten how to interact properly. I'm 18 now and I'm looking into getting my school certificate online (correspondence) next year. It's where they mail you the work and assignments, you do them in your own house at your own pace, then mail them back. Is there something like that you can do.? Did you complete your class or are you still doing it.?
Try seeking out people who share the same interests, or people who are quiet and not likely to be judgemental. Don't push yourself into being very social by trying to befriend party animals, for example. Because not only will this stress you out, but will probably make you even more wary of people. Just take it at a slow pace.Health Question & Answer
