Question Posted Thursday September 30 2004, 4:50 pm
i have pretty much felt like this my whole life...
i feel like whenever i do something people are watching me and talking shit about me or gunna laugh at me or something, i mean i realize that they dont really do that, they probably dont even notice me, but i dont like getting up in class to go sharpen my pencil cause im scared or embarresed or something that people will watch me and just stare at me the whole time or the teacher will yell at me for getting up...and today i was to embarresed or scared to go get ketchup and put it on my plate cause i was thinking that people might laugh and me and be like omg look at her shes using ketchup or something...i know it really weird..
i mean im not a shy person cause ill talk to a lot of people but its things like that..whats wrong with me?

~AshHedgepath~ answered Thursday September 30 2004, 7:13 pm: theres nothing wrong with you. your just worried about what people think about you, its not bad, a lot of people are like that. i dont think quite as many people have it as bad as you, but i know how you feel. you feel like your doing something wrong, and everyone else is doing it right, and theyll talk about you for it. but to answer your question, theres nothing wrong with you :)
xOhioIsForLovers answered Thursday September 30 2004, 7:12 pm: Nothing's wrong with you. I used to be like that for a while, and sometimes I still am. I guess it's just the fear of being rejected or hated. Even for small things like getting ketchup or sharpening your pencil. People can think lots of stuff is weird, but that's their loss. But anyway, next time you need to sharpen your pencil...go do it. You'll feel a lot better. Then work your way up to doing the bigger things, and eventually you'll be able to do stuff without feeling weird or insecure. Just take it gradually.

mysticpixie05 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 6:09 pm: there is ntohing wrong with you. It just seems that your self esteem is low toward these situations. But everyone does these things everyday so you should just get up and be confident about doing whatever it is that you need to do and act like it doesnt bother you that you need to do it.

PuReLuVeR143 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 5:54 pm: ALOTAAAA PPL ARE LIKE THAT!!! theres absolutly nuthing wrong with u. u just have REALLY low self confidence thats ALL...u cant do that nemore though, u realy cant..YOU have to help YOURSELF by changing..nobody else can change to make ur self confidence higher,u know? whut u gotta do is, when u wanna sharpen ur pencil, force urself to go and sharpen ur pencil..there is nothing more than that to do. when u want ketchup, force urself to go and get the ketchup. i know for a fact that i have like sooooo much more respect for some1 who doesnt care whut ppl think about them cause they do whut they want no matter whut ppl may think or so. im sure u know all this cause its obvious, but the only way u can change is if YOU change. God wont help u unless u help yourself. FORCE urself to raise ur hand and ask a question in class, etc..its the only way..

xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday September 30 2004, 5:30 pm: I know exactly how you feel. It's weird isn't it? I felt like that for a while like when I'd get up to get ketchup for my fries I'd feel as if people were talking about me and pointing and laughing for some reason. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong but I got over it. I'm sure it has to do with your confidence level. It's probably normal in teens because alot of my friends went through that too. Hope everything works out for you and I hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
x0x_surfergirl_x0x answered Thursday September 30 2004, 5:15 pm: It sounds like you are being a little insecure about yourself. And you shouldn't, people do stuff like that everyday. You are not an odd ball. Just act like you don't care when you get up to do whatever, everyone has an embarresing moment ;) if you have one, you are not the first.

l3fty14 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 5:14 pm: well i know this mite be kinda hard but dont worry about it. i mean when some of your friends get up to sharpen thier pencils or get ketchup, do people laugh at them? probably not. and if you do get laughed at for whatever the strange reason is, just laugh too. its hard not to like someone who can laugh at themself! dont stress about it, the world isnt out to get you!
charmed-cherry21 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 5:12 pm: I wouldn't exactly say that there was something wrong with you. I think that you are a little shy and self consious(sp?) but that doesnt mean that you aren't a great person just try to over come your fear.
Hope I Helped
