Too scared to do anything


Question Posted Saturday August 16 2008, 10:49 pm

18/f

I missed my university open day today because I am too scared to go anywhere or do anything by myself. I have no confidence or anything and I don't know what's wrong with me. My mom is so dissapointed in me because I missed it and it was really important and I am really upset because I hate myself for being like this. What can I do?

Most schools have a make up open day, so dont stress too much about that. Also. I used to be deathly afraid of going places myself as well.. Hate to bring up imaginary friend, but it helped me out in the begining. There is absolutel nothing wrong with you, everyone wants at least one person with them because one, its like a trend (do you EVER see one girl walking around the mall??) two, they dont want to look stupid by themselves. My advice would be several things, either get used to going some places alone (dont feel stupid if that doesnt work, because i havent mastered it either), you could try looking up, smiling. looking around and make comparisons to friends about people you see. like maybe his nose juts out just like Larry's does, or oh my gosh that's Kim's purse! That can help you look more natural instead of looking like a stiff board. in some places, you can take a pet, like your dog etc. other times its just way easier to see a friend, and attack! well, not really attack, but you get what i mean. if all else fails, see if you can bring a friend, or even your mom to the open day.
