My social anxiety

[Meliowiz]

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I'm having a lot of trouble lately with myself. Pretty much, I'm a 14 year old male and I'm very unhappy about myself. I'm super skinny and have a high voice. I always feel like people are judging me because I'm so weird, or awkward, etc. right now I'm in a production with lots of sophisticated actors and I'm so intimidated. I have no one to help me and everyday I come home crying wanting to cut myself because I feel like I'm so much worse than everyone. I can't talk to any of them, I just get all nervous and begin thinking they'll judge me. I have a crush on one of the people, too and I'm so scared to even approach them and im always thinking about what I'm doing around them. It really sucks and I want to get rid of it. I don't want to feel like a nerdy little child when I know I'm so much more. I can be funny and confident, I just know it, but I never know how and I don't know what to say. That's why I came here and id really appreciate some help

I just recommended it to another person, but I think you too should get acwuanted with Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by Dr. David Burns - it's a very interesting read, and you'll find out numerous useful ways for deeling with your anxiety and negative feelings.
