My Experience In College

When I started Unity High School I felt a little nervous because I didn't knew nobody in the school. In the begging of the first class I was quit and I didn´t talk to noone. I also didn't knew nobody in the class so I could tell them if they could help me on the problem that I need help. I was shy to talk to the teachers and and answer question or ask them for help when I needed help. During lunch time I just knew one person that came from my middle school. So I just hand out with him most the time. But, then weeks and months past I began to have more friends and I was not shy or nervous to ask for help in class. I wanted to join the soccer team of the school but I was to nervous to do it. But, now I know that I´m going to join the soccer team

Since I was young, there was a communication barrier that existed between me and the outside world. My shyness led me to many downfalls on my academic side. Not understanding a topic would mean that I would never be able to clarify any questions that were on my mind. Until around 6th grade, I always considered myself introverted; I had the inability to blend in with strangers, peers and teachers.

Like I said before, I was the shyest kid ever growing up, I would go out of my way just to avoid talking to people I was unfamiliar with. Many people from school rarely heard me speak, I was easy to forget about. I kept to myself and did my work. Even outside of school I stayed to myself, only ever hanging out with a few friends. Even when high school started I was quiet. I began hanging out with more people, but there were still a lot of

I’ve always been a shy person but for the most part I was able to be “successfully shy”, as the PsyBlog defines it, until beginning of high school. It was a mix of things that got me there, but some of the behaviors I exhibited reminded me of the “safety behaviors” described in the Social Anxiety Disorder section. I remember, for example, if I went out to a restaurant I would ask my mom or sister if they would like to split dinner with me so I wouldn’t have to talk to the waiter/waitress or at the very least the only thing I would have to order would be a drink. I also remember purposely standing somewhat angled behind my sister when we went to a store so if a sales person would ask my sister and not me if we needed help. (all of the other safety behaviors sounded very familiar, eye contact, rehearsing the conversation, etc.) I don’t do these behaviors anymore and what helped me a lot was talking to myself (No one is going to remember you tripped five minutes from now) (Not to say I had social anxiety disorder but it reminded me of my own experience).

During my four years at Beddingfield High School, I have made and lost a lot of friends, met people that will forever remain close to me and went through a couple of things that I probably thought would ever happen to me. My freshman year at Beddingfield, I had just moved from Atlanta, Georgia, so I really did not know anyone. My first day at Beddingfield High School I met a girl name Brionna and at the time I didn’t know anyone, so I was surprised that she even had spoken to me. I was shy the first couple of weeks, but getting to know I everyone I started to come out of my shell except for when it was time to do a presentation or talk in front of the class. I still have this fear today. As months went by I felt as if I knew everyone, but that thought changed when people started to spread rumors about me. I really didn’t say anything because I knew it was a lie. When that happened I started to distance myself from people because I started to figure out who my real friends were. The same few people I was friends with my freshman are the same people I hang with today because they showed me that everybody is

Whenever I think about my time in elementary school and even in early middle school, I can't help but just smile, reflecting on how everything in my life appeared to be a perfect chain of events that resulted in who I am now. I remember always being told as a kid that I was shy and didn’t talk much. At first I wondered why I had such a lack of social skills and wondered why I had such a hard time expressing what I thought. While I personally believe I have overcome my shyness and have become a much more open and expressive person, I sill think back to what may have caused that awkward period of time.

My shynesss was in and out of school. I was the kid who never raised their hand in class; during confrences my mom was told that I needed to talk more over and over. I was on a soccer team from age 4 through 7th grade, this definitely made me talk, but I did not over come the shyness. In fifth grade, I had to start riding a bus to school. It was all a new experience and multiple times I cried when I got to

I was afraid of people as early as elementary school. My fear was not the usual “stranger danger” fear. I would have issues with asking questions and talking, yet I did not know of what I was afraid of. I was comfortable with seclusion. I eventually became depressed in intermediate school, because I had no friends. I remained miserable as a child and teenager, until I decided that I needed to change. I wanted positive and pleasurable memories and longed for my high school experience to be different.

Lately, I feel as if haven't really been participating in class recently. The reason for that is because my shy, timid self is filling up my senses again. You see, one of the goals I've had for seventh grade was to be more involved academically and in extracurricular activities. I want to be more confident in class and be able to share my thoughts without hesitation. Since I was a toddler, I've always been shy around my peers and past teachers. Sometimes even my own parents. And for some reason I'm terrified of sharing the things that are on my mind. I'm also scared of giving presentations in front of classes, explaining an answer to the class, etc. I think I might have a fear failure, the fear of people judging me, or simply the fear of public

With no friends I didn’t really have much confidence due to not having a lot of supportive people in my life and I began to feel that no one would care for me. It took a lot of work but I finally made a friend in 6th grade and my friend helped me a lot with coming out of my shell and not be so shy. She also introduced me to a lot of my other friends I had at the time and it really helped me out a lot because they were all in similar situations that I

I’ve always been a shy person around people I don’t know. Growing up and going through Primary, Elementary, and Middle School with the same people got me out of being shy just around the people I had always gone through school with. In 8th I had the opportunity to apply to Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy and have the chance to meet new people and in new setting. I got to meet different people and get out of my shy phase were I don’t like to meet new people.

In my family, my mother used to be extremely shy among others when she was in high school. She had a few friends, and, in addition to that, had some case of social anxiety. Often ignored by others, she refused to give up. Throughout time, she improved immensely and now has a multitudinous amount of friends. Also, she currently has no social anxiety due to her conquering her fears of social rejection. My mother now owns a successful business as a result of this beneficial change. You can always change no matter what. All you need to do is act efficiently and face your fears.

What I learned was that when I go to a new place and are around new people I am out of my comfort zone. When out of my comfort zone I become shy, I know how to deal with that now. This problem helps me learn how to identify that I am shy and how to break through my comfort zone and accomplished making friends through the programs that I had joined and classmates I have

I had no shyness at all. I would speak my mind, which often would get me in quite amount of trouble. Once I got into the sixth grade, something in me changed. It was like a switch had flipped inside. In our town, there was a school specially meant for the sixth grade. It was meant to prepare us for the High school setting. With that, I was suddenly thrust into a larger scene of social complexity.

I'm not sure why I'm shy, I actually adore talking to people but I'm not sure what's stopping me. About a year ago I didn't have many friends I actually lost some friends from the results of people changing and also because they become someone else they aren't...either way I wasn't the same person as I was when I was little (since that was what my mother told me). The only person I tell everything is my mom and she always comes up with the same saying "you've changed, you're not the same happy girl I used to see everyday coming home from school". I wasn't sure if that was a good thing because change is good right? Either way I had trouble communicating with people. In eight grade was when it struck me the most. It was the beginning of the year and it was my first year in advanced language arts which is a problem because the other students were already in advanced language arts making them already know each other and making me the newbie. For the first four months it was horrible no one to talk to and occasionally having a small conversation with someone, but after another month it hit me that I don't have many friends and what's going to happen when I go to high school? Who am I going to talk to? This though hit me every night not having anyone to talk to and sitting alone in class, and working alone every single day is the most horrible thing that could happen to
