I was like this a while ago. I wasn't secure about how I looked and talked when I was around other people. It took me a while to get used to who I was and accept the person I was.

It seems to be the same thing for you. You quite a self-conscious person and you're constantly worrying about how you look or how people will react to you. What I did was to step right out of my comfort zone and did things which I thought I would never do before.

I would also recommend a book which is written by Debra Fine called "The Fine Art of Small Talk" which I also used to help me.

I hope this helped,
triquetra

im kinda going through the same thing!
so sorry if this isnt the best advice but usually you're more uptight the more you think and the only way to not think and let loose if to feel comfotable, which seems to be hard fro you too.
so usually when im around friends the easiest way to let loose is to listen to music, trust me it helps a lot! if you sing to it, even if its out of your comfort zone you can act goofy with it or w.e you want, but it should help a lot. try it!

and boosting ur self confidence level, im like that too. you just learn to live with it and think about how blessed you are and the good things you have in life compared to others.

anyways hope i helped!
