Stress

[Guest]

So tomorrow is the first day of school for me and I'm super freaked out I have social anxiety so I find it really hard to make friends I'm praying that I'm in the same class as my bestie but I wasn't last year. Do you guys have any advice for feeling calmer about this situation thanks.

Hopefully they will put you with your friend, but to help feel calmer whenever your stressed have a stress ball that you can squeeze or if your on break have some time to yourself to relax hope this helps a little.

Hey! Honestly don't stress about it! Just be yourself and be friendly! That doesn't mean you have to make friends on the first day, but honestly being friendly goes a long way! Don't worry about it too much! I'm sure all the people in your grade are just as worried as you are! There's no need to be so worried! Have a great year! Your going to do great!

Breathe my child....breathe. no sense in worrying. but if anything, just have a great year ok?

Hey! Don't stress about it alright? The more you think about it, the more worried you will be. So try not to think about it as much. Also, try to make small talk with the person sitting next to you. If the person sitting next to you is talking to someone else, just take out a book and read. Hopefully you are with your friend. Good luck!! Wish you the best of luck!!

^ I agree with this all the way. The first week is always the most awkward (at least in my experience).

i felt exactly the same way last night, i was sooo nervous. but actually, apart from the awkward 'getting to know each other' activity where we had to read out our answers (my worst fear) it was actually surprisingly easy to talk to people, my advice is don't try too hard just act casual like they have always been your class mates. i am the worst at making friends and i ended up walking off with a group of other girls into the town on our lunch break! and just remember even if it is awkward, give it a week and you will just start to not give a shit. i know how you feel as a also have social anxiety
