I've been like this for over a year now, suddenly i become socially awkward. ONLY around girls i think are better than me (i'm a girl too btw).

I'm an extrovert and i talk a lot, but when i'm near these popular (cool girls) i feel like i freeze and i think i can't do anything right! I guess right now they think i'm such a weirdo but i can't help it ... Please help me i'm in pain

Because right now i feel like almost everyone is above me and i suddenly become a loner, i wasn't like this a year ago! Why have i become like this...

Im literally like going through the same thing right now! Im a guy though

I have like "worry phases" where ill worry about a specific thing for several months, have like a day of peace, and then start worrying about something else. My current fear/phobia right now is doing poorly at social interaction, specifically conversations.

Like texting im fine but if i have to talk face to face anymore i get extremelyyy introspective on myself! Like everything that used to be so automatic and fluid to me like eye contact/facial expressions/body posture is now stuff i cannot stop thinking about like worrying if im doing it right/or that i look weird or awkward. And the second i start thinking about it i then the other person starts feeling/acting awkward and then it totally screws up the whole conversation

Like im pretty extroverted myself and i need people but its gotten to the point that the performance anxiety of talking in person with someone is so high that i would rather be alone on a friday night or just text people

Im sorry i cant help you (or myself lol) but i understand what your going through and im here if you need anything!

Damn we're totally the same! I mean i often feel bored and wanting to talk, but i'm just to afraid to do it. It's not that my friends tease me, but it's just myself.. I make my own world complicated idk why though. Idk if this is a good news or bad news but knowing that you're having the same problem as me makes me feel a little bit relieved. at least we can fight this stupid problem together.. And i'm really glad to find myself not 'alone'

It's weird that sometimes we're just too afraid to talk, but if we don't really care about it we can actually talk very fluently. I just miss those times when i don't really have to think about how i should act and stuff.. I felt really free, and i was really happy to love myself back then. But now... I feel like i really hate myself. God i want my old life back :'(
Thanks for this!

Yes! Omg yes that part right there! Yeah we must be really really similar!

Like i always pick the stupidest and most annoying phobias to have and let them run my life. Even in a perfect situation ill find something to be worried about or scared of!

Your right, your not alone
