I’m tired of not having friends and staying home every, I’m tired of getting so nervous when I have to talk to a new person that I shake and stutter, it’s embarrassing! I want to live a normal teenage life but my anxiety is getting in the way, and I don’t know how to handle it. I’ve been homeschooled my whole life and because of that I didn’t really socialize with other kids my age or really anyone who wasn’t family. Now that I am older I want to have friends and get a job, but I’m not good at interacting with other people so I don’t know how I will ever do that. The other day my little brothers were playing with the neighbors kids, and my mom wanted me to go over there and tell there mom something. I was anxious going over there because we only officially met these people, I only kinda know them because my little brothers play with the kids over there, anyway when I get there the mom was busy so instead I had to talk to the oldest daughter. When I was talked to her I completely embarrassed myself, my legs were shaking I stuttered a bit I probably looked really stupid, she didn’t say anything though. Like I said I was already anxious before going over there, but it didn’t help that she’s super pretty and I have a crush on her lol. The whole point of making this post was to ask how do I get better at interacting with other people?
