I'm new, and feel all alone

Hi my name's Adam, I'm 17 and a senior in High School. I felt like I had to do something, so i searched the net and found this place. I don't know if I have social phobia. My life basically sucks. I have no one to hang out with outside of school. I have immense fear that I'll make myself look stupid and that I won't know what to say when talking with someone, so I used to avoid talking with people. Now I try to talk with someone but I don't know how to start a conversation, and I don't know what to say. When people start a conversation with me I get very scared and don't know what to say. I feel like people think that I'm stupid and strange. My hands are always sweating and my face is constantly blushing in situations when people talk to me. I spend lots of my time dreaming of the life I want, hanging out with friends, having a girlfriend, and going to parties. I also dream of saving the girl I like from bad guys. Someone invited me to go to a party last night and I didn't go and now I'm really sad and feel stupid for not going. As I'm writing this I think anyone who read this will laugh and tell me to stop complaining.

Dude, no way...lots of people have gone through/are going through the same stuff. I'm a lot like you, based on what you've written (It's been a year since high school for me). You just need to improve things little by little. The first thing you need to do is change your attitude; you need to respect yourself before anyone will respect you; don't be negative. Coming here was a good place to start. There are lots of people offer you support, bro. We'll even be open ears for you to vent your frustrations with, if you want.

I know high school is hard. At least you recognize the problem now. I'm 31 and just now realizing that it's not just me! Like the other person said, take little steps to improve because it's very hard. You can't change who you are overnight. For instance, I made the conscious decision to make eye contact with a couple of people today just to see if I could. It's not easy but you're not alone.

Welcome to SPW AdamAllAlone. The first step is always finding out what the problem is and coming to terms with it.

Hi I know what ya mean school was hard for me too. And trust me when I say that no one here would ever laugh or tell you to stop complaining they know how hard it is to live with SP. If you work at it little by little your life WILL get better. It wont happen over night but it will happen :D And remember you deserve to be happy, you're actually nice! you try hard, you mean well.
