It's also hard to get others to understand.
People always say it's "just in your head", which I can't stand. Speech class and speeches in general suck, I wanted to add that too.

Actually I am not shy as such, but I just always tend to want to seem perfect among other people (especially new people whom I dont really know yet, or people I for some reason look up to) and I then start to think about my behavior and what other people think of me so much that I, instead of being 'cool', become totally awkward. Especially when it is time to eat !!

Ive got this disorder I was in high school and was asked to read a paragraph from a book and froze up in the middle of it because i was having a panic attack..I have panic attacks everyday when I leave home or if I leave home. I used to be heavily medicated to get through high school (clonopin,xanax, valium,all tranquilizers, couldn't finish college because of it.
