i dont think ive ever had a conversation where i havent been scared about what the other person is going to say.. i mean im sure i have but not enough to stop being scared, like say i meet a new person.. i get really scared about what they are gonna talk about, and my biggest fear is for them to say im weird...sometimes when im walking around somewhere busy i start imagining that everyone is saying "hey look at that weird guy", "that guy is weird", or "that guy does weird stuff".. i mena im funny, and fun to be around... but i can never open up because im so afraid of others cause society can be so cruel, and all these problems have built up over the years, i guess its true that society makes u who u are...
Answers:
Are you on medications? If not maybe your doctor could put you on something like Xanax or Valium to help control the anxiety. I am Bipolar and I know how you feel. Paranoia is one of the worst feelings that you could ever feel in your life. Ask the doctor for some help.
Don't blame "society" for making you who you are. You need to take meds, continue seeing your psychologist and stop thinking the world revolves around you and everyone looking at you. Most of the time they don't even notice you.
Remember this! People are way more interested in themselves than you. They are probably wondering what you think of them. Just remind yourself that you are really not all that important (to strangers), the world does not revolve around you. Feel free to live your life in peace and be who you are, that is all that really matters.
My answer is that you just need to chill. Stop thinking about it so much... I got anxiety just reading a little part of what you wrote. You go to your doctor and tell him/her about this. They will give you options. You really gotta request a prescription for this stuff... I was on zoloft for it but thats not good for younguns like you. I have the same problem, and I'm a real mess. So, that's really what you gotta do. Just don't go to the school counselor. those jerks are jokes. Good luck!
PS. that is just a phase you are going through. A lot of people go through that in their teen age years. Later on you will forget about it. You should focus on things that interest you.
Eventually you will realize that everyone has their friends because they get along with you, you are not going to win everyone over. And you move on from that.
Also, being in high school and doing all of the sports you do, no matter how silly you can be, that is pretty much a plus with girls and guy friends, it means you have character. I was a life gaurd too.
It is crazy you really don't know what those other kids are going through at home, and you may find out after college. There will be some crazy **** that these kids you thought were so cool, end up working as a bar tender at the age of 30 and you may be an attorney. You will se some friends that did not like you try an pick up your girl freind at a club and the girl stands up and stays with you. You have. A lot of times these kids have some serious, ebarassing things going on with thier family that they would never tell a soul. So they make fun of others to get it off their heads. They probably also, have a lot running throught their heads.
The key to being freinds with people is to understand them. My sister once told me, after I yelled at her, "I know its not me you are mad at, but its okay, i understand you are frustrated." It was the truth.
Good luck you seem like a nice guy. I KNOW you will be fine. Be your self. No matter how crazy.
We all have feelings of anxiety from time to time. If you experience restlessness, nervousness, bad temper, racing thoughts, rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, extreme difficulty resting or concentrating, you probably need to get help.
Anxiety can also put significant physical stress on the cardiovascular system through increased blood pressure, and a consistently rapid heart rate. For this reason alone, anxiety disorder should be taken seriously.
There are a lot of prescription drugs available on the market to combat anxiety and panic associated with it. I recommend a natural remedy because that worked for me. I used 'Pure Calm' a natural remedy. It is safe, effective and without any side effects.
