Well, if everything has always come easy for you, and you've been so lucky to have good people around you, why can you not turn to them for support when starting college? It is naturally difficult to adapt in college, and for most this is a very heavily weighted time in their lives, a lot of pressure is on you to do well and set the framework for your successes and failures of the rest of your life. As if all that can be done in a few years, Just relax and think things through, it's only as hard as you make it to be. You have to understand that, like it or not, it's time to grow up and be an adult now.

Do some charity work,or volunteer work doing for others might let you feel better about yourself.You set up a goal for yourself with college.Remind yourself you can do this and stick with it.Hard work always pays off,confidence comes with experience.Good luck on your studies.

Just keep plugging away. Be assertive and ACT confident. If you bluff through it enough, it will finally come naturally. Time will take care of a lot of it as you get older. Respect yourself and demand that others respect you.

It may sound scary, but it's easier than you think. You pack your bags, you get into the car (or plane or whatever), and you go. Don't be worried about what happens when you get there; I suspect you may just surprise yourself. The thing that should really concern you, is what will happen to you if you DON'T take this chance.

DRINKING! It really did help me alot. When I went to college I started drinking. It helped me stop worring about what other people thought of me. BUT I only drank when I was in a good mood. Drinking when your upset leads to the "A" word. Things will change in college. HOPEFULLY YOUR GOING AWAY FROM HOME!!!!!!!!! That is Major.

It might be useful to look into your other sides of life other than what you thought of your good life....In that, you need to discover what or who made you miserable and unbearable that has caused your anxiety inside..And that's why you have felt so inferior to others like everyone around you was better off and doing good than you did....

You have to commit yourself to HARD work. Don't allow yourself to be lazy. As you accomplish your goals and succeed in your tasks, your self esteem will rise.
