I don't what to do anymore...

...See more I don't know what to do. My family and my friends tell me that I'm smart and pretty but I can't believe them. I recently got inducted into the National Honors Society and yet I can't feel smart. I can't feel smart enough, and I feel so terrible because I worry that I'm not good enough to get into the college I want to go to. I'm not good enough to have the friends I want. I'm not good enough to have a boy like me back. I'm just not good enough. Dealing with this and anxiety has just crippled me, to the point where I just want to give up and not do anything. I just want to let the world pass me by, because it's too hard for me to keep up. I'm just so tired of not being good enough.

Missing opportunities because of anxiety.

...See more Hi I'm Bri. I've been dealing with social anxiety for a while, and it fluctuates between getting better and getting worse. I don't really like talking about it with other people, because it feels like I'm burdening them with my problems, which is a dumb way of thinking I guess. I'm starting to miss out on things because of my anxiety. I'm missing out on new possible friends because I can't talk to anybody, and I'm missing out on existing friendships because I can't connect with them. Most of all, I'm missing on cool opportunities because I don't feel comfortable joining in them. There's the cool program at my school that combines a few classes so you have room to do an internship. It's an awesome opportunity, especially since I want to go into medicine. But at the end of the program the student has to give a 20 minute presentation in front of the class, and I'm considering missing out on this awesome program simply because I don't think I'll be able to handle doing that presentation. Anyone have any tips on how to get rid of anxiety, or at least minimize? I'm so sick of feeling anxious...
