Okay! I'm afraid of talking to people! My sister says I'm goraphobic which means Fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment. I'm scared of what people might say or what they might think of me. I go up to my teacher for a progress report and I'm scared shitless! My hands get all veiny and my voice gets deeper and lower. I also tend to answer with one word instead of explaining my thoughts like I would do at home. So basically I'm myself at home but in public, I turn into a shy quiet girl with veiny hands. Is it normal that I'm afraid of talking to people?

      So do I. But I think that my anxiety is going to conflict with that.

    Unless your sister is the family's in house qualified shrink, I'd get some professional help if I were you.

    I don't understand the veiny hands bit, but anxiety can do strange things to the body.

        Sorry just fuckin around, maybe you should read up on selective mutism. Its a type of anxiety disorder common in young women and girls.
