Hey there!
All right so I'm going to start telling you that I am a very outgoing person. I love talking to everyone and I usually have no problem with coming up with something to say to people... I have a lot of stuff to say! But lately, I haven't been able to do that. I'm currently in classes with people who I know know me and I know them but we just don't talk for whatever reason... I mean I can't open my mouth and say anything because something just won't let me but even if I were to, I don't know what I would say! I would really really like to know what's holding me back! I just don't know how to talk to these people... I do feel kind of lost and out of it a lot when I'm in these classes when this happens. Any suggestions? Thank youu :)

The best thing to do is to do nothing at all. Just be quiet if that's the place your head is at. Stop trying to be anything but what you are right now. You're going through some insecurity right now. It will change as time passes. If you force it you will make your worry bigger and you may never find your voice. It's not embarrassing to be quiet. If anyone asks you anything about it, like "are you okay?" or "what's wrong?" just say you're fine. You're in a quiet mood. Nothing is wrong. If you BELIEVE your fine... THEN YOU ARE FINE. You need to be more understanding of yourself... don't critique yourself. Don't you think enough people are judging you? Why add to the list? Be your own allie. Believe that you just are not sure about yourself right now, which is normal. Believe that you'll come out of it when you are good and ready. Believe that it's a phase because it's the beginning of school. Believe in you. Be solid in your head about anything that makes you second guess yourself. It's just your instincts telling you that you are simply unsure. And that's totally OK, k?? Let us know how it goes. Xo

It sounds to me like you are having 'growing pains'.

Suddenly caring what your peers think about you has paralyzed you, you are afraid to speak because you think you will sound stupid!

This is just normal growing up stuff. :)

I'm a military kid- when I was growing up we moved all the time
What I did to make new friends (it will work w/people you know too)
I acted confident even though I didn't feel like it- when you act confident
People will be confident of you as well-
