Every Time

Same here. I am a bit different through,I am shy around people who do not know me. I tend to hide in the corner and stay with people who know me best. I stay by the people who dont judge me. I stay in my comfort zone. I am very quiet, and It takes me a long time to open up to someone new. I always stay back and watch how a person acts before I begin talking with them. I need to know if they are judgmental before I start talking. I hate judgmental people, but then again I am being very judgmental also. =( I am trying to be more outgoing and confident with myself to.

In high school i had a few somewhat chose friends who knew i was shy and not outgoing so they accepted me for that. its not about being popular, just try to find a few or 1 person who have similar qualities as you do. Try to find people who you know would be nice and accepting. Be friends with those kind of people.

I also encountered nervous break down several times. Every time it happens, I always think I had the worst case of jitters. Also, like you, the only place I feel comfortable is at our house. However, things sort of change in my case now. I would like to tell you helpful ways... Allow yourself time to refresh ~do the things you enjoy in life and forget your pains. Confidence is like sincerity. "...without sincerity, nothing would exist. Therefore the mature person values sincerity above all things," ~Doctrine of the Mean.
