fear od being around people
“I’m finding it really hard to go to college lately. I’m on bad terms with some of my friends, and the others don’t talk with me also..I’m worried that people are talking behind my back or laughing at the things I do. It’s becoming harder to enjoy being there, and it’s starting to affect how I feel about the place as a whole.”
also it’s affecting my progress and my attendance in classes its my senior year..

Hello,
I fully understand how you are feeling because I suffer badly with the same thing but I've found a few sayings that I repeat in my head during times that your in the grocery store, or a cumberland farms. I tell myself "Those that matter, don't mind, and those that mind don't matter" I use logic now when I talk to myself. I began to realize that when I focus and do my own thing, I have a sense of calm that really helps. I tell myself "Don't let it rent space in your head" Focus is the key, be the best you you can be. You've got this and be proud of yourself for reaching out here on 7cups! It gets better once you realize that other people can be ignorant and so we have to have thick skin and roll with it and be willing to laugh it off and you'll begin to trust somebody and start talking it out with the free Listeners on 7cups. This website has helped me a ton!! Keep reaching out and tell yourself to be kind to yourself!! Your not alone, millions suffer with this, it's call agoraphobia (Fear of being around people) do some research online using the key words "agoraphobia" and anxiety!! I am so very grateful that I found this website and can tell you if you keep looking for answers, taking good care of yourself and shrug off because who care what others say or think, don't take any of it seriously!! Smile and fake it until you make it and learn to trust some awesome Listeners on 7cups!
You take good care my new friend!
Blessings, Day
