low confidence ?

[jamiee98]

hi everyone, I'm currently in year 12 and I'm having trouble with confidence at school.

at school i seem like a very serious person who does talk , but not as confidently and comfortably . in the beginning of the year when i started the new school, i was so confident and outgoing , but as i get to know people more it always goes down.

like for instance if I'm at a random event i have no problem socialising with strangers but once i know them for a while, i get this anxiety feeling and my confidence goes down the drain.

like i can't even talk to people at times because they might see me as 'eehh why is she talking'(i know its not rational but thats my mind aaah)

it s ruining my school life and people seem to keep distance from me due to my lack of persona and 'boringness'

i don't know whether I'm exaggerating or not but i get this feeling that even teachers may think I'm weird because of how i act

I've been going through a lot in terms of physical health so i did miss a lot of school
