Yo i dont kno whats going on with me and i need help. I feel nervous alot like i have butterflies in my stomach all the time. Like when people ask me questions i give a dumb answer all the time but people dont really notice most the time but i do. I feel uptight and stiff and annoyed with a lot of things and people. Most of the time im quiet now and i dont try to associate with a lot of people which is crazy because i used to love attention and making people laugh. Ive been trying to be myself around people but i cant. WTF!...I feel dumb mostly like i cant think straight most the time and im lazy and sleep 2 much. I feel like im not breathing the way i should normally be. I also talk low alot of the times and i rarely laugh and smile. I dont really pay attention to what people say most the time its like it goes through one ear and out the other especially when people talk alot, even my friends. I think i have add or something or weed did this to me but im not sure all i know is i really need help because i dont want to be and act like this no more. I feel like i have so much potential but i cant fulfill it. I dont think anyone understands what im going through
Do you think it's normal?

thats what happend tome too.
I drank and smoke ( both) and then came the day I wanted no attention by ppl, just wanted to chill.
Was annoyed by ppl that "copied" me cause i was soo cool, just wanted that to stop.
so i stoped socializing and stayed at home and thats what it is till now.
2 years have pased and nothing changed so better get some prof help, thats not changing from allone
what did you do?...do you still feel that way and do you still smoke?
There are two very old aphorism that you should ponder:

"Listen much, speak little, write less."

"Better to remain silent and let people think you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

These old sayings hang around because they are TRUE.
have you considered anxiety maybe you are just anxious there are solutions for anxiety. try relaxation
@: sodas
yeah, Anxiety Is probably what is it.
I think you should talk to someone professional who might be able to help you get to the bottom of this.

Also, quit the weed and whatever else you maybe be taking.
Yeah ditch the weed.

I agree, it sounds like an axiety issue. i can relate to part of what you're saying and that's what it was with me.

I became withdrawn and quiet and didn't feel like I had anything to contribute. And when I said something, I didn't like it and wished I could take it back. Often I'd ponder what I'd said for days afterwards. Listening to others became harder too, like I wasn't understanding things I should have. I wondered "how do they come up with this stuff to say?" It all seemed beyond me, even though I knew this was basic interaction I used to be okay at.

i recommend seeing a professional, they will understand this immediately and can prescribe you medication for anxiety and suggest cognitive & relaxation exercises.

Good luck
I want to mention this also before I add further, I find it very interesting that we are very similar. I used to be the class clown, very witty, quick with comebacks and all that. When life started to hit me as it does for most teenagers, I became more introspectve and reserved. And now like you I have trouble being myself (whatever that means).

First of all the nervousness, uncertainty and what not. Do not be overwhlemed, it s normal in the sense that it happens to people of all walks of life. It happend to me, I used to have major panic attacks. I remained committed to solving my problems, and to deal with stress in a functional manner. I found a guy named Charles Linden, google him if youdo need help dealing with anxiety. Worth every penny, truly does work. I'm living proof.

Secondly the social situation, google David wygant, excllent source to begin studying how to overcome certain social obstacles you may have.

I know I may sound like a salesman pushing all these gurus on you, but trust me they are excellent sources.

Take care let me know how it goes, or if you have any more questions.
