I wish people could understand me?

I wish people could understand me. I’m shy and because I’m shy people don‘t understand me why I act different. I have suffered from shyness and depression for long time and still suffering from them. I left school with nothing because of my shyness. Shyness is ruining my life. Now because I’m at college its still affecting my life at college. I’m in trouble at college because I haven’t done any of my presentations and I’m really stressed out because I might going to get kicked out soon. I tried to do one but I ended running out of the class. I found it really scare to stand up front of the class. My English teacher gave me a chance to do it front of him but I couldn’t do it. I was really hot, nervous, scared, and shy. I couldn’t even look at him when I was about it do it. I’m not allowed to go to until I’m ready to do my presentation. I’m totally stressed out and I don’t know what to do for my shyness and depression. A lot of people told me I need to get help but I don’t where to go and what to do. I find it hard to stand up for myself. Last week my teacher asked me “what do people recycle?”, I said “can” and she thought I said “hand”, so she started shouting at me. I even got kicked out of college for a week and a bad report. I tried to go and tell her after the lesson but I was to nervous and she might don’t believe me. At college I been in troubles for things that I didn’t do. Shyness has held me back in many ways of my life friendships, education, career and even my family.

People don’t understand me why I act different…

To be honest most of the time I don’t understand myself why I act so different…why?

I brought a couple of CDs from online for shyness and depression but nothing changed. I tried to hang around people but I didn’t like it. I tried to go places but I feel uncomfortable. Couple of my friends tried to help me but it didn’t work.

Is it my fault?

I don’t know what to do can someone help me please.

It's not your fault! Make an appointment with the counselor at your college, that's what they're there for. What you're describing is more than shyness, could be an anxiety disorder and along with depression that can be paralyzing. People are treated for these problems every day, and it CAN get better! You have to make the first step and that's the hardest part. Ask for help! We all need help sometimes and it's more than OK to ask for it. I promise you, when you ask for help from a professional trained in these issues, you WILL be understood and that will be a tremendous relief. :)

I am middle aged and still to this day cannot do any form of public speaking. The shyness is normal to a certain extent but when it takes over your life that's when it's a big problem. You REALLY need to talk to a counselor IN PERSON rather than using recorded counselors from the computer. Make sure you get references and get a good one. You maybe be able to start practicing goal setting.

Remember, the more you let this go, the bigger problem it will be. You've already worked yourself into a frenzy about something that is pretty normal. Some people are outgoing.. some people aren't. You have to start drawing the line on how far this can go. Make some positive bold moves to take care of this problem!

Good luck! You can do it!
Ok, I will do my best to solve your problem.

In the event of class, when you wanted to say "can". you said it but teacher didnot hear properly. So it is your problem? No. Its her problem that she didnot hear it. Now you got shouted at, and tell me how other students feel about your teacher when they heard that you said 'can" and teacher is scolding you for no reason.

So one problem here may be, that you didnot speak clearly. You can try speaking clearly and little bit louder next time.

Now, you always feel shy, its ok. Peope are often like that and at some stage in life, they wil get opened up. One way is to write down your thoughts of each incident which goes wrong with you everyday, and how you could have handled differently if you were given a chance to speak up. tell yourself.

Do you like to read? if not, try reading out loud in your room. Something which is motivating, exciting. it could be poem, a song, or some story. people practise it in their room, read loudly in their room, and listen to your own sound. Doesnot matter if someone hear it or not, they will just hear that you reading something. so no problem with tat.

Once you get the ability of speaking properly and loudly and listening to what you say, then you can speak anywhere you want. because in reality you will be presenting to yourself.

One more thing, if you are worried about self-respect. So by speaking more, it wont go down. You dont lose anything by speaking loudly and clearly. So focus on how loud u can speak and how clear, rest will be fine
I think what you should do is take a minute to gather your thoughts in a place where is both comfortable and quiet. Just close your eyes and remember what was the moment that impacted you to be this way. Then, go where this moment took place and put all your frustuations out there. If not, try to pretend whenever your talking to a person you don't know, think at that person as a person who you always feel comfortable with. The final option is talk to a counselor about your problems of shyness.
It sounds like you have social anxiety. There is medicine that can help you. Talk to your Dr.
Few of us can believe this story . In any case the answer is to leave school immediately for health reasons so he can return later.
you DO need help, write a letter to your teacher or go see a counsellor, you can't go on like this. You can't function normally because of the shyness, it is not you, its the shyness, so please go seek some help
It is your fault, you care about what people think so you miss out on a lot of stuff. you need to stop caring of what they think becouse by now, its worst then what it would of bee.

you need to show yourself that you can stand up for yourself.
You have to get help as soon as possible as in counseling for depression and that will most likely help with the shyness before you fail out of school. In college you might find one in a hundred professors that will try to understand your problem and give you a break as your English professor did but most of them don't care what your problems are, they are just there to do their job, and give you a grade. I know it sounds harsh but that's the truth. Especially if you come across a nasty or rude professor,( I have dealt with a couple in my college days) they really will give you a hard time.

They feel as if you are an adult now so you should be past whatever shyness or other things you have going on. You and I know you have a problem but to a professor and maybe even other students they think you need to "get over it" but they won't stop and take the time to realize it isn't that easy. Only YOU can help yourself and do better go to a psychologist or licensed counselor and you might even need medication but you do need help because college and life in general will only get tougher if you go on as you are.

Good luck and don't give up! :)
I wish I knew what would work but I don't. I've never been shy.

I remember one time a shy person at school was told to pick one person out of the audience and speak to them alone, forget about everyone else in the room. Maybe you could try that, it might work. I do know another girl I went to school with was quite shy also but now that she's older she don't have a shy bone in her body, perhaps you will grow out of your shyness too.
