Dude! I think you need some Zoloft http://www.zoloft.com/zoloft/zoloft.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=default_home It'll help with depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder which I believe you have.

Well the embarrassment seems normal, but try to keep in mind that we are all human and we all screw up in public. It's not the end of the world. That will get better in time. Now, as far as people taking advantage of you, you need to toughen up and stand your ground. Doesn't mean you have to act like a smart a_s, but you don't let anyone tell you what or how to do something. If you believe strongly about something, then stay that way, don't let others trick you into agreeing with them just to fit in socially. Peer pressure is not fictional, nor is it easy to ignore. Just be your own person.

Would you rather be alone most of the time? How are you in a crowd? Do you struggle with other social situations? Do you have hobbies you are obsessed over?
My son has aspergers....it is a social disorder...it effects his everyday life. If you didn't know any better, you wouldn't know he has it.
I'm not telling you this because I think you have it....but maybe you should ask yourself if any of these things effect you...
Do you know how many people are like you, and are "normal" don't worry about it...just find ways to get over your shyness so you can enjoy your social life more!!
Take Care......

Try not to worry about what anyone else thinks about you (I know that is easier said than done.) Some people say it's a phase that you'll grow out of, but other people become really withdrawn and introverted. I used to be that way when I was younger. I found that writing helped me to feel better. It also sounds like a self-esteem issue. Realize that you are worth more than you are treated, and like some of the other answers said some people will take advantage of anybody. Stand firm with whatever descisions you make, try to speak your mind and let people know that you will not be taken advantage of. You are worth more than that and more often than not a better person than they are.

It's not normal but it's very common. You are actually drawing attention to yourself, which my guess is the opposite of what you would prefer? When that negative self talk runs through your head at that moment, ask yourself if what you are saying is true or false? You'll find that it tends to run false and in time you'll realize that it doesn't even make sense when trying to use the true/false perspective.

First of all, invest alittle more time in the studies - your grammar and spelling could use much improvement.
The details you have shared are something that many of us have gone thru during the adolescent and young adult stages of our lives.
The more secure you become in yourself, the more outspoken or verbal on any level you will be........when unsure of yourself you tend to judge yourself much more than others really are....hence the feeling of easy embarrassment......the only way you cannot be yourself around others is when you simply act as something other than what you are around family and home - but most likely are only fooling yourself........any of us can be taken advantage of at any time; the only way this can continue tho is when you enable others to be able to do so.
Yes any of these details are normal - all part of growing up!
Be yourself - totally!
Best wishes!
God bless!!

when i was 15 i ran away from home and my parents sent me to a residential treatment facility. they prescribed paxil for some anxiety i guess i had. but i turned into a bubbly cheerleader type. talking to everyone i could. maybe this is your option. but i highly recommend you try to be more social on your own first. just throw yourself out there and see what happens.

Yes, I guess. I am going through it too. I also have stage fright and I am VERY afraid to talk around people. I guess it's a stage, but I hope that both of us will grow out of it.
