I'm wicked shy and no one in my classes knows me. I'm even shy around my friends! If I'm with a bunch of classmates and they are all talking I want to say something so bad but I feel like I'm going to say something stupid and laugh. Usually i never talk and just sit there and listen to them talk, but now I want to be the one talking the most. But i'm so shy and trust me, i try to start conversations but i get soooo scared that i stutter or say something that makes NO sense. i'm getting to a point where no one really even knows what my voice sounds like and i wanna talk but i get so scared and i cant think of anything to say.
i need real answers not ones like "try to start conversations" because i do and DONT say "just say whats on your mind" because i get so scared that my mind goes blank. haha
