I'm suffering from anxiety...espically when it comes to school work and tests...
well....few days ago my teacher saw me while i was having panic attack and i was so anxious and my eyes were teary...he was making fun of me infront of my class mates...he said to me:" that shows your low self-confidence and you should change it"...
honsetly ..i know that he was making fun just to help me not just to laugh I know that he is a careing teacher...but i hated that...and I'm still hurt
I wish I can hide that but i cannot ...when i'm so anxious and scared...i cannot controll myself

For me personally i do feel there is a connection between anxiety and self confidence. I get very anxious talking infront of groups in a formal situation and getting marks back from assessment. I lack confidence in myself and always have done but when i my depression is at its lowest my anxiety gets worse.

Do you have any counselling services at your school that perhaps could give you some information to help you boost your self confidence.

sorry i couldnt help more

I am sorry that you were treated like that, I am not sure if anxiety and self confidence are related but the way your teacher worded it, I think that he was wrong to say that to you.

The teacher's humiliating you makes me feel so angry. I'm sorry he did that to you! What in the world was he thinking--that public humiliation could help self-confidence?!? His behavior was cruel.

Anxiety is fear. It is hard to have self-confidence in the face of fear. But learning about and understanding your fears can help your self-confidence very much. Therapy can help you with that.

Brokenheart, I feel that people get low self confidence because of how they are treated in their environment. We get treated a certain way and we gather messages and beliefs about ourselves from this treatment. Of course our environment is the responsibility of our parents while we are young.

Whenever I have had trouble with a teacher or a boss or a friend I always discuss it with them. This has always had a good outcome for me. I really suggest that you try it!

Brokenheart, I have read your other posts now and I can see all the connections. Your mother does sound angry and vengeful. I am sorry. You know, it isn't your fault that your parents split up (or your sister's). It isn't your fault that boys are thought to be more valuable than girls (the only reason these beliefs came into being is because the men had all the power and made all the rules to benefit them. There is nothing inherently more valuable about boys or girls. It's just a belief that was manufactured). BH, I hope that you can find it in yourself the strength to rise above all these troubles. I will certainly support you here .....

Thank you so much...sannah...
I hope I can get over all my problems...but it seems so hard
when i feel comfortable about my school .........something bad comes up in my family and vise verse...
so i found that when i isolate myself i feel better bcoz when i do that...it's true no one is going to share my sadness but at least no one is going to hurt me not even by one single word.
