When I was a kid, I got shamed and hurt emotionally by my mom and the kids at school a lot. It completely overwhelmed me and kicked my *****. There's been an ache in my gut ever since, and I'm scared to be in social situations, because I think I'm going to get nailed, and be totally vulnerable to it, and not know how to protect myself. I never learned when I was a kid, and now I'm back in school to become a teacher, and I really need to get over this. I don't want to be afraid of my students. Can anyone relate? If you got over it (or something like it), how did you do it?

I can relate to your situation and I am still scared in social situations. What I am doing to work on it is to put myself out there. I try new situations and I have had good results it is getting easier each time I enter a situation. I am sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
