You sound like a really nice guy, and I'm sorry that you're feeling like this. You need someone to talk to, preferably an adult that you trust. If you can't talk to a parent, see your school counselor or a favorite teacher. I know you will probably get this advice from everyone who answers you--it might not be what you want to hear, but it's the best thing to do. Things like clinical depression or bipolar disorder usually strike when people are about your age, and the earlier it is recognized, the better it can be treated. You may just be having a change in hormones or something that happened to you may have set this off. You're very smart recognize it and to seek help. Now, just get to someone who knows you so that they can help you sort this out. Good luck to you.

I agree with blu eyes in that you shouldn't isolate yourself because then you only end up wallowing in the problem. Whatever happened a few days ago, can you do anything about it or confront it? You also say that you've done a lot in your 18 years which is fantastic! A guy after my own heart - live a lot!! You must have met some equally outgoing/confident people, so why don't you make the effort to mix only with such ones as who will be 'good' for you for a little time until your confidence is boosted to the point that you feel you're back in control? I mean the type of person who will support you in your thoughts and ideas, and not 'rubbish' things that you say. (We all know the type - you say green, they say blue just for the sake of disagreeing with you!) Hang in there chick - you'll be fine!!!

Your confidence has just taken a knock. Think about what could have changed in your life to make you feel the way you do. Don't isolate yourself as this will only make you feel worse, get out and try and get back to feeling the way you used to. Tell yourself that the real you is the confident guy who cheered people up and the way you are feeling now is a blip on the horizon. Hope you feel better soon.

i'm quite tentative to suggest anything considering i don't know much detail about what's been going on for you. sometimes ppl have underlying schemas (ways of organising the world) that have developed through their childhood that don't surface until some major precipitant brings up these core issues that they have. like for example if you had very high standards for yourself which may not be realistic, if you don't meet those, you feel worthless...and it's much worse for you than it would be for others, because it taps into those core insecurities that are majorly distressing for you. and consider that a person with high standards is probably one who has had major achievements in their life due to their perfectionism...but it's driven by underlying insecurities that you have to do this well all the time. i can't really comment on what core schemas you may have...but unrealistic expectations and shame/worthlessness are more common ones.
you should consider that your thoughts are just thoughts and not to give overdue importance to them. treat them as hypotheses. core issues like that need to be worked out over a good while, maybe with the help of a psychotherapist or supportive other, but it kinda helps to understand what it is and what's brought it about.

Blue eyes, JA and Sarah G have all given good advice. A lot of people have low points in their lives and you say yours only started 4 days ago, give it a bit of time. If things haven't improved after two weeks, you should seek medical aid. It does sound like depression, but could be just a low point.

Turn to God-He is mightier than all those who you feel are superior to you.
Learn about him, he does exist and is a friend who will never let you down
I know you cannot see him but (Jesus-God) existed in human form on earth.
I am not preaching but it may help-In the end it's up to you
Good luck
