scariest thing is when the teacher says to get in groups but you have no friends in the class

WHAT MAKES ME SAD IS THAT MOST OF US SEARCHED FOR THIS 😭

What makes me nervous about school? -Leaving home -Not being in an environment or place I normally feel safe at -Everything I’m familiar with won’t be with me. -My friends and I don’t have the same classes. -Embarrassing myself -basically a lot of things

What makes me anxious is everything from getting class on time, talking to people, and after school activities

school starts tomorrow and im so anxious i just wanna hide in a cave forever.

i think the saddest thing about this is how miserable it sounds. I hate school so much.

Things that make me anxious in school: - having no friends in class - group projects - presentations - bullies - being lonely cause no one cares - when the teacher says to partner up but you're always end up alone... - the teacher forcing you to join a group and you know that the kids in that group don't want you there -the teacher calling on you and you don't know what to say - tests -bad grades - homework - big projects that take months to finish (i want to die) - any kind of social interaction - loud and obnoxious people - German and French class - yeah pretty much everything. Edit: Damn... this comment is still getting attention somehow. I just wanted to say that I'm feeling a lot more good now and my relations with the people around me has improved. School is also going well for me even though there's still many things that cause me anxiety. But for the most part I'm doing way better then I ever was and I'm really greatful for that Also thanks for the many replies. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone. I really hope it gets better for you all as well

I’m so worried about school I’m literally crying. wow thank you guys for liking my comment I promise you things get better💕

For anyone going back to school (I am tomorrow), here’s some advice or how I think about it: - It’s school, what’s the worst it can do to you? Teachers can’t hurt you, even your parents have more control over you than them! - You’ve done this SO many times, do you even remember what happened last time? What subjects you had? No! This is the same as anytime else we are going back to school and you won’t remember this in a year. - These years won’t affect you later on in life. You can still succeed! To me, its crazy to think about that all kids around the world, 5 days a week, for hours meet together in a building to sit at a desk and learn. It’s just a few hours, at the end of the day, we all go back to our houses and live separate lives. Isn’t that weird to think about? Besides, we all have at least one friend we spend time with at school, who makes our lives so much better. They will make this experience way less scary! We are all going through the same thing and we will go survive through it. Good luck everyone!

All the people is what triggers my anxiety...:like of you agree

I’m always so worried about going back to school because of my social life. I don’t have any friends at my school, so I usually eat lunch alone and I just try to survive. Today I had an anxiety attack at the thought of being alone for the rest of my school life. I really don’t wanna life like this forever

I legit start to cry when the teacher forces us into a group activity like I don't wanna get to know people I just wanna finish school

I spend the whole summer worrying about going back to school and I just want to stop worrying

Whats makes me anxious about school is talking to people , groupworks, being alone and also one of my teacher , she makes me so nervous ...

Honestly, for me the most anxiety-inducing thing about school is socializing. I really have one friend but I only see her every other day in two classes and that's it. On A days I feel really lonely. I try to talk to other people but they already have their own friends, and I don't want to bother them y'know? Worst thing would be to be known as the "annoying kid"

Right on time! Already got an anxiety attack from the thought that I'll fail this year so I need this

Things that make me anxious about school: -being late -being lonely (sitting alone in class, ect.) -not knowing the answer to teacher's question -having to perform something in front of the whole class -the teacher calling me to answer the question and write it on the board (when i had to go write something on the board i would always shake really badly and feel like im about to pass out or burst into tears) -teacher calling my name and the whole class staring at me (i hate being in center of everyone's attention) -answering a question wrong (if i got a question wrong i would overthink it for a long time over and over and over again. Same overthinking goes to when i make ANY kind of a mistake) -being aware of everyone thinking im weird -i feel uncomfortable in school in general (cause of the amount of people) -handing in the test first (cuz as i said, i dont like having much attention) Idk what else to write down rn Actually when im writing this comment, im feeling anxious cause im scared someone will make fun of me (cuz i wrote something wrong or something like that) Have a good day •Reading this after a year, this is a dose of second hand embarrassment.

Things I’m worrying about Rn: -people finding things out about me that’s private - getting new friends -seeing people - talking to old friends - thinking I’m always doing something wrong - think I’m a bad person - just scared to talk to people again

Things that make me worried or fall apart 1. Social interaction 2. Presentations/Performances you have to do SOLO 3. Making friends 4. Projects that takes more than a day to finish and deadline is in a day 5. Being a leader or the person who stands in front of the class 6 The fact that all the projects and all the effort you put into your work is enough for an "average" grade.

This doesn't help because I get anxiety from people at school.

the best advice i've gotten is remembering we all die one day. kinda morbid but it helps :) if ur scared about making a bad impression or something just remind yourself you have one life and even if you do something really embarrassing and they don't like you, we will all die one day and nobody will remember that moment. another really good thing to remember is that nobody really cares about your embarrassing moments. we're so obsessed with how people will think about us that we don't really think it is the other way around as well. sure they might not be at the same level but they still are worrying about what you think of them too. also try to name an instance where somebody has embarrassed themselves in front of you. you can probably only think of a few. now think of what impression you got from them. you probably think it's funny if anything ! it's important to laugh off your mistakes, other people will follow :)

I used to struggle with this when at school. Unfortunately we didn't have videos like this back then lol

who is going back to school after quaratine?? well.... I DO AND I'M SCARED

It's not even three weeks into the new school year and i've already had 4 mental breakdowns. Not exaggerating. two and a half weeks in, on FOUR SEPERATE OCCASIONS, Sobbing, screaming, hyperventilation, thinking of negative things i shouldnt, etc.

Don’t g me wrong but this video made me more anxious

Things that make me worried 1. School 2.getting some one new to like then it's clear that they don't like you back 3. Being lonely 4.being late to class 5.bullys 6. Trying to make friends (I have 3 now made a new friend today) 7. Am scared that people will secretly be rude to me in social media I don't have snapchat or anything today I saw this girl zooming in my face then laughing at it 8. Failing I am right now 9. teacher choosing on you when you don't know what to say 10.parents getting mad because my low grades (I have higher now) 11. I HATE MATH

i hate school so much, next month i have a full week of exam, and i dont know why but i'm already worrying about it now. i'm literally crying while watching this video, i still dont know how to calm myself down. i really wanna try to talk about it to my parents about it, but i'm too scared to talk to them, whenever i talk about school stuffs i always cried for some reason. exam, i fear it, literally i am so scared of it, since this quarantine thing i started to search my homework answers on google since i though that i would graduate before online school is over, and also because of i really cant understand a single thing about what i'm studying. i hate it, is it just me being dramatic or what, i just hate it. i know this comment is really long but i just wanna share how i'm feeling, and also sorry if i use some wrong grammar or my grammar is not so correct, english isnt my first language.

To start off I am a quiet person and find it hard to make friends and can be very awkward at times. If that wasnt bad enough I get back to school anxiety all the time however my first day of Junior year high school was so bad today. I bearly had close friends in my classes and had no friends during my lunch period. I am seriously thinking about dropping out. I see some of my graduated friends stories on snapchat and I see how happy they are either at work or at home taking a break seeing this just makes me want to graduate quicker. I will update you guys on May 21, 2020

The entire school makes me anxious I'm anxious of people it's SOCIAL ANXIETY 😭😭😭💔

It’s currently 1am and I’m having an anxiety attack and I have school tomorrow 👁👄👁

I’m so anxious about school because I’m scared of disappointing my parents and myself and my stomach just feels wrong and I’m scared for tests, quizzes, homework. I just don’t wanna go I just wanna stay hidden away, I’m gonna cry now

Anyone watching this who has school tommorow or is just anxious about school in general, you got this. Nothing lasts forever. Your doing great. Allow yourself to feel anxious. Dont let your 'what if' thoughts control your life when the future is unknown.

The fact that one time the teacher asked me "you have no friend?" in front of the whole class and I just can't answer

What makes me anxious about going to school? People, teachers, getting on time, having to hold pee, having to finish work on time, having to go to lunch when I NEVER want to, presentations, group projects, physical education, and not being able to just be with myself and not focus on anyone or anything else (even when I'm making my work)

It said "class 1-A" plus the kid was drawing all might BNHA fans confirmed

I love quarantine online school so much. Now it's over, and school starts again, it's so much worse

I overthink everyday of going to school so I end up crying for a few minutes- and ruin my day with doing everything at last moment and end up having more anxiety and look like a fool sitting at my seat not knowing anything kind of pushes me to have confidence bc I care about ppls opinions I always try to do something I always struggle with laziness My eyes would hurt a lot if I stay on my phone to much so that’s a thing also 🤦‍♀️

hey, everyone out there who is stressing about school, don’t! I felt this way too, but hey, everything gets better. Try to keep a positive mindset, and think about the positives about school. Scared of a presentation? Don’t be. People won’t just openly judge you, especially if you haven’t done anything wrong. Your mind just makes you think that way. Scared of getting called on by the teacher? Me too. But I realized, if you don’t know the answer, don’t be afraid to speak up. We’re not perfect beings, and teachers don’t expect us to know everything either.

Here's what is in my anxiety bag!: * To start, its a blue bag with flowers that is as big as a typical pencil case, and looks just like one. Very discreet. *I have essential oils, mint and lavender *A tiny bottle with gold glitter and water that i can shake and I love the sight of glitter. It really helps. *This little purple and green texured "fidget tool" It's one of those sensory FX brand things from walmart. *I wear an amithyst necklace that I LOVE and its pretty to look at, and great to feel. *Lastly, I have this little pin glitter keychain from five below, that i hook onto the lil bag! I hope this helps and gives you more inspiration. Remember; you are loved and beautiful/handsome and 100% valid. You got this.

Presentations or group projects....I’ve had really bad experiences...One year in my history class I had a panic attack when giving a presentation and the teacher just sat there like okay whatever keep going. Then kids started laughing at me. Then after kids continued to make jokes about me. Felt like I was dying yet no one cared. I still get laughed at from time to time due to my really bad anxiety. So I always back out from group projects or presentations. I was recently cast and accepted to an acting/modeling school on the weekends and I have my normal public school on weekdays (obviously) and my talent school is trying to help me with my anxiety so hopefully I’ll be better this year.

My fears are passing, getting in class in time, and basically just trying to fit in since I am more of a nerd,

The main reason why I'm always anxious is because I usually always end up eating lunch alone because of my social anxiety. It's especially hard for me a closeted introvert to go out and make friends because I move so much. It's hard getting comfortable at one place to later restart, and make new friends. Super scared for tomorrow since it's my first day of school there :((

I’m most scared about finding everything. It’s not necessarily that though, it’s more along the lines of: Being alone while everyone else understands. Reaching awkwardly out for help and admitting that I don’t know what to do The stress of reactions if I walk in late And anxiety about the judgement I receive from all of it.

I’m scared of: Group projects All the people P.e Certain subjects Not being able to get to get to my chair Teachers After school stuff And more...

POV: u don’t want to go back at all and ur stressing

Watching this the night before my first day of school in my new school 🥲🥲

things that make me anxious : - walking into school late - not being ready when i’m in school eg. being out of breath, drinking water, showing that i need something or am not okay - stomachs rumbling but never being hungry - teachers thinking you aren’t listening but you are your just quiet - when people say “ that’s the first time i’ve heard you talk “ - and honestly so fking many more but i can’t list them all

School start like tomorrow and i fucking need this so MUCH edited: im literally crying, shivering, teeth chattering, butterflies in my stomach, etc.

4:08 Goals for the school year - -TO GET THROUGH IT

Im anxious about social interactions since I absolutely suck, presentations, good grades, and I mostly don’t disappoint others, I just think of scenarios where I mess up

Psych2go: Be sure to sleep. Me watching at 1 AM and starting school tomorrow: Ah shi-

They're making everyone in my district go back to school in person this year. It's been a whole year and a half of completely virtual for me and I was hoping that would continue because I mostly enjoyed it. But nope. Now I get to look forward to the anxiety of being inside a classroom (now with kids who don't care about mask mandates because neither do their parents) exemplified.

We got into a group and they needed us to draw something scenery, they knew that I know how to draw so they assigned it to me. But my “it's not enough” mindset got in and now I haven't gone to school for a week because of the guilt I feel for my classmates.

Hello, i came back again. I know it's common to be nervous on their first day of school. But for me it's been 3 days, i still feel worried, scared, emotional about it. I am trying my best to overcome it, and i hope you guys too! I'm sure things will eventually gets better.

What about school gives me anxiety? The fact that I have no friends

It's kinda relief to know that you're not alone....and pathetic knowing what other are going through

Not me fixing my sleeping schedule the night before the first day of school.💀

Reasons I’m nervous about going back to school: - What people will think of me (I want everyone to like me) - What the boys will think of me - I don’t like being a “loser.” I want to be known as one of the popular girls. (Dont ask why... I don’t know either) - I specifically know who is going to be in my class, and there are a couple of boys I like.... this is going to be very uncomfortable for me being in the same class as them :((( - Gym time UGH. I’m not a competitive type of girl. And keep in mind our gym class is NOT split (boys w boys, girls w girls) so all the boys always yell at u if u do something wrong. And for me it’s very embarrassing and uncomfortable for example doing bench ball infront of everyone. So I always take a note with me saying “I sprained my leg” so I can sit out. - I have severe anxiety (especially in school) And when I do, I get VERY nauseous. Which is horrible. I even had to call my mom a couple of times because of it. - I ABSOLUTELY HATE SEATING PLANS! Especially if I’m seated with boys. I’m very uncomfortable sitting with the people I don’t like. So this is a big deal for me. - I also cant STAND presentations. I always ask the teacher if I can present privately to her. 😓 P.S we are getting a new teacher for our class this year and I’m afraid this teacher might not allow me to present privately... - NEEDLES. Believe it or not.. our school always gives kids needles ( grade 7’s and grade 8’s) I got a few last year, and let me tell u it is horrible waiting in line seeing all the other kids chill, and then there’s u who wants to cry. I need to get another needle this year ( grade 8 ) so I’m hella nervous 😩 If anyone has advice for me on how to survive this year... plz let me know ASAP :)

I severely suffered for years because of school, I would throw up and cry hundreds of times throughout the school years. I was never a bad kid I was just really scared and missed a lot of class because of it which always led me to the principals. I was getting verbally abused by my mom about my stubbornness to go to school and she would yell so bad and scream almost every morning before threatening me. I needed help and years later went into a really hard journey of therapy that didn’t help much, now my problem has turned into me not wanting to go to work and I always feel like a failure, I haven’t worked in years. I’m a hard worker and was a good student, I just didn’t have the right help when I needed it and now I feel like all I have is trauma from so many little things

Everything that includes contact with other people being teachers or students makes me anxious, Physical education makes me anxious too I don't like PE because everyone in my class is good at volleyball and I suck at it (and this year we are doing a lot of volleyball), I'm always afraid of making mistakes and saying something stupid things.

Hey can you do "signs you're falling for the wrong person" if its okay.

If anyone sees this now. I’m really nervous about going back to school because we are sticking in forms and staying in bubbles and I don’t have friends in my form so I’m dreading it so if you’re seeing this then don’t worry because it will get better eventually

I LOST IT WHEN I SAW ALL MIGHT ON THAT LITTLE PICTURE LMAOO

When I go back to school I’m just gonna do my work and eat lunch and go home and do that over and over again wow I sound depressed

right before covid, i’ve lost all my friends and didn’t have anyone to group up with. i’m also not very good at keeping up with homework. teachers are always intimidating and belittling me. i get very awkward during free time as i don’t have any friends so books were my escape. when the pandemic hit, it was the greatest relief. it felt like all the burden of expectations and pressure were magically lifted off of my shoulders but in a week, schools are opening back up and i don’t think i’m ready to go through all that bs again :’) currently overwhelmed with anxiety but i don’t have anyone to talk to. my online friends are busy with school, my parents tell me my allergies are made up so God knows what they’ll say when I tell them I don’t feel mentally healthy and my siblings are too young to understand. yall stay safe tho

Just thinking of going to back to school and feel this pressure makes me wanna cry

I really needed this because literally in the second day of school I've had 3 anxiety attack and whenever I even see the door of the school I get really anxious

Things that make me anxious in school : - *people*

I know everyone is constantly judging me and I just want to be nice to people but everyone thinks I’m stupid.

What makes me nervous, is that honestly I’m scared if I don’t get questions right and then the class just makes fun of me. I also just feel like I can’t be myself in school..

Things that make my mind implode with stress: -Talking with people -Having to answer questions in class -Group projects -Presentations -Eating during lunch -The "spotlight" in any scenario -People noticing or asking about my mental state. -Accidentally messing up even if nobody noticed. -Where I sit -Having to tell everybody I do meet that I am trans and my preferred name/pronouns.

i’m not sure what even makes me nervous for school, just whenever i think of school it brings in all of these negative thought of school.

School starts tomorrow and I feel anxiously ill. And the fact that I'll be a "new kid" is not making things any better. I am afraid I won't get along with my peers, that I won't do well in my studies, and everything would be new and unfamiliar. I hope this academic year would treat all of us well. For the person reading this, everything will be alright eventually.

school is making me anxious because i get teased every single day by literally my classmates and sometimes even school staffs (in a joking way tho but still it hurts me emotionally and mentally). this bullying is just so hard for me to deal with since i don't express my feelings and thoughts about what words they speak towards me. therefore they constantly tease me over-and-over because they think there's no hard emotions running through me.

I always feel stressed and lonely when I go to school. Sometimes I even cry to sleep before school.

I am so scared 😭. I am going back tomorrow and the shops are closed and I can't get my supplies or my school uniform. I have been having panick attacks all morning. I just.....I can't breathe. I don't wanna move but I have so much that I have to do.

i nearly threw up this morning cuz my anxiety was getting more and more worse. i really don’t wanna go back. i’m going into year 11 so that’s making me so fcking anxious and then i also have other problems on top of that. i’m genuinely so scared and anxious to go back and i know this year is gonna be more crap then the last and i don’t know if i can go through that again. these past two years so much has happened. covid happened, social anxiety began to get even more worse, grandad died, went back to school, anxiety constantly eating away in my mind, friends don’t care. ive been so sad and no one has realised that. my parents haven’t realised that. my best friends haven’t realised that. my teachers haven’t realised that. it’s a fcking joke. i get that my friends have their own problems but i help them through that. never have they once asked if i was ok. i’d love to just have one person in my life who actually gives a crap about me because my friends sure as hell don’t. you told me to fix my sleep schedule weeks before. psych2go i’m afraid i can’t. i go back to school into two days and have been going to sleep at two/three in the morning. anyways i know nobody asked this but i don’t have anywhere else to talk so :[

School starts in 1 day I’m nervous, I’m unprepared and have no friends at school, but I know that it will be everyone’s first day and everyone will feel just as nervous as I so yeah I hope I’ll be fine. I try to imagine my dream lifestyle and pretend im living that lifestyle so hope that works. Goodluck to everyone:)) I’ll try to update Update!- so, I was very lonely and wasn’t the happiest today but let’s hope the rest of the school year is better:) update 2: I accepted the fact that I might be lonely but I actually communicated a lot more with people today. I still feel sad and I barely have an appetite anymore,but it’s okay I hope things get better

Dang, now that I think of it, anxiety has been controlling basically my entire life. So, my elementary school days mainly consisted of online school, as well as homeschool, so I didn't at all feel prepared to be going to a public junior high. I had gone over where all of my classes were about a thousand times, but it still felt really confusing. I was scared about my locker, making friends, and even just getting good grades. I honestly regret how I acted back then.. the amount of excused absences I had.. and sure enough, my grades got worse. I felt trapped that entire year and didn't make a single friend. It was a terrifying experience. But this year, I'm trying out a slightly new program. Once a week, we'll do a fun social activity, and then the rest of the learning is online. I think this will match my pace just a bit more, and maybe I'll even make some friends. I want to make it my lifetime goal to overcome this anxiety, I want to be able to make friends, and feel free again. But it all starts one step at a time, and if I do that, I think I'll be able to experience life like I never have before. I'd assume by the video title that I'm very likely not the only one here who has anxiety, it's slightly reassuring to know that I'm not alone with this. So, to all my anxious friends out there, let's get through this next school year together! We're all stronger than we think, and we can overcome this anxiety and live life to its fullest! We got this!

i’m so scared to go back because with one year of not having in person school my anxiety has become so much more tolerable and i don’t want all of my progress to go out the window

Being happy in school then the covid 19 stopped the school And I don’t know what happen and when the school is open Which makes me stress and think how my life will be 😑😑😑

i always feel anxious when i get back to university 😂😂 worried about all the things. friends, lectures, subjects. this video helps me to at least relax a little bit, anyway i just got back to uni what a coincidence.

what make me anxious about going back to school? being lonely, having no friends,making friends,talking to people,people from last year(idk why but im scared to see them this year),school schedules,teachers,new environment,covid 19 :( stay safe everyone!!

What im stressed about since the comment section is somehow still sorta active: - Not having any friends in most of my classes - When one of the friends that I do have classes with goes with someone else for a group project and im left alone and sad - Finding classes on time - Making friends - Learning how to open a locker again - Getting lost and getting to class late but the door is locked so you have to knock - going to the right classes at the wrong times - accidently crying and not being able to make it stop - Gym - Swimming in gym - Changing in gym - Presentations - Those teachers who think that the kids love them and try to act cool The only two classes on my schedule that I dont hate already are Art and Lunch because the art teacher is very chill and nice and my whole grade has lunch together so I can see my friends.

Anyone else have to go back to skool tomorrow after a year off? Fuuuuuck my lifeeeee

What makes me anxious about school is everything! I can't relax myself when doing presentations and recitations (especially individuals) I will get really nervous when presenting and me getting nervous ruins everything I do because I can't focus, my voice will get shaky, my moves will be awkward and I can't do any eye contacts to my teachers. I am quite a loner but I do have some friends but most of the time they'll leave me, I really hate being alone especially during the time when you need to go to the cafeteria, It felt like everything is awkward and It feels like everyone is watching me because I am alone. Meeting new people is also every difficult for me because I don't know their intentions whether they want to be friends with or say some uncomfortable words. I don't participate in any competition in our school cause I hate opening up, my overthinked that I'll fail, I'll feel embarrassed or I'll feel like everyone is going to laugh at me. I hate saying my problems to my friends and my classmates they'll think I'm too dramatic, I always put a smile on my face. When I'm grade 8 there's an award called "most cheerful" 4 of my classmates got it and I was one of them, I feel happy and also sad at the same time it was a mixed emotion, they didn't really know that I am struggling at anything. I always going to be kind to them so that I'll build up my reputation to everyone. Sometimes when there's a project I'll give up my time to rest finish it all up. I also printed some paperworks for them because not all of us have any printers, I would print up like 23 copies of our worksheet and I would distribute them in the morning so that they can fill them up. Everything is a struggle especially when it's back to school.

school is even worse with erythrophobia omg. if you don’t know already erythrophobia is a irrational fear of blushing/going red. so since your always so worried about it even eye contact or just someone glancing at you and looking away is enough to make you panic and go blood red. (especially when your as pale as snow, like me). it’s even worse when you do it so much your known for being the kid who blushes for no reason. for anyone who is suffering from erythrophobia (including myself) I want you to know you are NOT alone. I know sometimes you might feel as if you are because most people aren’t even aware of what erythrophobia is. nothing is “wrong with you” and you are valid. of one of those annoying kids point out that you are red just say “mhm! red is a nice color on me”. don’t let it get to you! you’re so much better than that. and if it does get to you it’s alright just try to build up your confidence as you go and find ways that help you cope with it since there is medication (yet I believe) or cure. your amazing! stay safe. :)

Its 1 am and i have school today and i feel like jumping off a cliff

Idk why but im even more nervous now

Man, I have school in two days and I feel sick.. I've been crying all day trying to avoid the thought of it and this video made it worse. I am in Secondary School, Year 8 in the UK and it hurts to just thinks about going back. I hate to be that one lonely kid.. Please tell me I'm not the only one that feels like this..

Thank you for these, I recently had an anxiety attack at school

School starts after two days and I am not ready to meet people or the school routine. Anxiety and tension are killing me from the inside. I know that I am selfish, but I want Corona to return so badly to my country that I do not have to go back to school

i’m going back to school during all the covid stuff. i’m nervous about: catching the bus, getting lost, making it to my classes on time, bumping into upperclassmen, having no friends in my classes, having no one to sit with at lunch, and my ap class.

It’s 2am and I can’t sleep it’s horrible my tummy will hurt again

I have a little tip for people that struggle in school due to thinking too much about what people think of them. Personally, I have had my fair share of awkward experiences where I haven't been able to find my friends and I've felt like I'm being judged by everyone around me. While it isn't true and I've begun to focus on that. I understand that finding people to talk to seems better than standing there silently, worrying but must people (like myself) can't talk to someone they don't know fully, like a friend or family member. What I recommend it taking a book/magazine with you to school. Anything that you really enjoy and read them when you can't find anyone to talk to or if you think people are talking behind your back. Allowing yourself to become focused on your book instead of your surroundings can really calm you down. You will go to lessons more calm and relaxed and are more likely to contribute to your lesson. This also works if you don't really have anyone to hang out with in school and if your friends are sick. The characters are there for you and you are less likely to be interrupted when reading. I take Harry Potter or Percy Jackson with me and yes I do have certain people who question me on why I'm just reading instead of talking to people. The best response to give is to be head on with your problems. For example " I struggle with talking to new people and I can't find my friends so I'm just reading" or even just saying you just feel like it. It's okay! Never forget that! (Here have a cookie🍪)

What makes me anxious is -not being good enough -me struggling in my math class :( -don’t wanna be judged -not looking good enough -rude teachers -bullies -no time for fun since there’s a lot of homework and sh -making fake friends -feeling homesick -not spending enough time with my pets :( I’m an sensitive over thinker

oml I’m so nervous and scared :,( mostly because of gym, pacer test, presentations, just talking in general to the ppl at my school Idk how to explain it, if my friends will be in my classes, and just everything ngl I’m prolly gonna cry on the first day of school tbh

i was supposed to be a senior last year, but i skipped for mental health reasons. so now im actually a senior in hs when i should be in college, and im scared of everything from "what if i get off at the middle school accidentally" to navigating the school by myself. i've moved a lot in my life, but for the first time, my sibling isn't with me. and now im ~ sad and anxious without medication ~

I had social anxiety episodes the first two years when I went to a new school due to being a loner with everyone else already settled in one “gang” or another. the problem is still there, but anxiety doesn’t get to me as much as before. it’s kind of sad, but I guess instead of actually working on socializing with new people I got to enjoy what I had by studying, reading and drawing more.
