I am not indpendent at all, and I get embarrased over the smallest things. Even if its just walking to togos to order a sandwich I get embarassed unless I'm with my friends. I get embarrassed ordering food from restaurants and paying for clothes and i feel i'm not independent but i need to learn to be. I really have no friends at school (there all really mean to me and are obnoxious to be around with) what are some ways to help with that with the embarrassment and independence problem; i keep reminding myself you''ll never see these people again, but it bugs me SOrry if its in the wrong category.

You are just as good as any one else and don't subject your self to insults and unhealthy relationshios to those who hurt you you don't have to be rude but only if you feel that you can pull away from them in the most discreet way. Try to stand up for yourself without hurting other people because you will always regret it. Take Initiative! Just do it! You might as well like I said earlier in 3 years this'll be all over and all you'll have is memories you'll want to look back and remeber the times you handled what needed to be handled to make you happy and mentally and emotionally healthy so do it!

The only thing I can really recommend is just...making yourself do it. Once you have done something a few times, it will lose its edge. You just have to try =[ and I know, that sucks and it may take a while. That and sometimes you just have to convince yourself there is nothing to be afraid of/embarassed of. You're shy =P you have time to grow out of it also. [ Kaibon's advice column | Ask Kaibon A Question ]
