Scared like a pussy, boy

If you have no social skills, you are not intelligent anon. Force yourself to be in social settings.

is it because you're afraid of being challenged on your literary opinions? that's a natural part of college and growing as a person. you need that criticism. speak to your prof, you're not the only one in the class that feels that way.

If you're right, what are you afraid of? I always thought people are scared of talking in front of large groups because they worry about making a fool of themselves. Just put confidence in your knowledge.

Lol thats me, It's been six months that I changed my school and I have no friends, every time I repeat to myself "omg I gonna say hi" BUT I CAN'T so stupid

If its an anxiety problem, then meds or finding coping strategies that can help you get over your fear. If its a language problem, then just say what you want to say. If anyone gives you crap for not speaking perfect english they dont really belong in an academic setting.

what do you mean anon. i have seriously considered going a little drunk to uni, but i am a afraid of people smelling my breath and the last times i tried it i didnt drink enough enough to feel anything

I've been there. I'm also a foreigner and studied literature as well.
What helped me was giving up the artificial struggle to be perfect and without remorse about my past which actually resulted in a crippled present.
I talked to a psychiatrist for a while and took pills as well but they just helped me force myself after all.
The key is to acknowledge that you are now an adult. People respect you and all you have to do is be, you are not supposed to demonstrate an act like a talented actor. Don't be afraid of being judged either, some will judge you positively some won't. Everyone goes through similar struggles but one judges himself from his own point of view while judging others from their public appearances and actions which are far from reality.
Don't be afraid of going to a psychiatrist either. Mine asked me to write down what I think causes those inner struggles and what I might be afraid to face or trying to avoid etc. It was constructive and pills helped me think healthy as well.
Sorry for the mess of sentences. Im on my phone checking 4chan before I go to bed after a long day and I need to go to bed. (4.30 am)
seeing a similar person to what I was, I had to write these though.

It's most certainly not a physical situation, you can beat it mate. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to look for ways, you'll get the burden out of your shoulders. Talking to a fairly new friend you don't care about about these things help very much as well, at most they don't care, or they will be a good support and help you think healthy.
This wasn't a pep talk btw it's reality.
See you in a better shape mate. Hope your only struggle becomes philosophical soon.

yeah i stayed silent first 3 years of my degree. i want to force myself to speak this year.

Thank anon. i want you to know that you helped someone today. definitely things you said like the actor metaphor and the need to be perfect hit too near home. I am going t talk to a psychiatrist and i have a friend who i can tell all this things.have a good night of sleep anon.

That's because you are a little submissive bitch. Grow a fucking spine.
