I still haven't exactly gotten a straight answer to help with me being shy. I know, it doesn't seem like I would be the shy type. But I am. Like I blush a lot and get embarrassed at the littlest things.
edit: Manic, thanks for that link. I actually found a topic exactly what I'm looking for. http://www.uncommonforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=322

alright how old are you, can you drive?
if you can then i suggest you get a job where you can deal with alot of people to take you out of your comfort zone and eventually you will become alot less shy around people.

Well when you said shy you mean IRL right?Originally Posted by AthlaS
That might explain the ex-personality when your online.IRL you think to yourself a shy person,and when online you have a mean of comfort to let out what you what to say without being too afriad.
Firstly AthLas, was you alway shy all your life?Or did it happen after some sort of incident?

Nah, I wasn't shy all my life. I can actually remember the incident that happened to. It was in 5th grade, and a kid told a girl that I liked her. Been shy ever since then.
And I think too much about what people might be thinking about me if I said something. Like they might think I'm a loser if I said something. D:

That quite unusual.I don't know whether you like her or not.
But the problem might be that you did like her?And you never said what her reaction was so I presume that she ignore or been cold to you since on?
Maybe your shyness is a barrier to make it harder for you to meet people and talk to them head on out of fear of reject?
Again AthLas you leave out alot of detail for me to come to a conclusion.
Also I'm not exactly a profession,but I help my friends when they come to me.
And you might want to refer to the links that Manic posted.I visit it for a moment.That community seem helpful.

Don't ask me, I didn't even warn the kid in the thread I locked.
To answer your other question though, I suggest seeing a doctor. Not a therapist immediately, definitely not a psychiatrist, just your physician. The way things usually work out is that you'll go see the doc, and the doc will recommend a psychologist in your area. Now, from what you've said your depression is mostly situational and not so much biological(don't take my word on that though, I'm no professional, nor do I know the full story behind your feelings), a psychologist may be all that you need. If the psychologist deems it necessary, you will then see a psychiatrist. The main difference between the two is that a psychologist can only administer talk-therapy and other social forms of treatment, whereas a psychiatrist is certified to write you a prescription.
Now, not to write off your problems as some sort of misbelief on your behalf, but I do suggest asking your doctor to test you for hypoglycemia just to be safe. Many times people mistake what is actually hypoglycemia for depression. I'd say it's a 99% chance that won't be the case, but it never hurts to be safe.
Also, ask about a nutritional/dietary treatment for depression. They're out there, and can help a lot more than people will admit. It doesn't necessarily mean giving up the foods you love either, it can be just as satisfying.
Now, from the perspective of someone who knows how you feel, I can assure you that depression can be beaten. It may be a long and tedious process, or it could be so simple as a few months of treatment or a pill every morning. Rest assured though that things will get better, and in the mean time don't fool yourself into thinking that things can't be helped, it's a mistake I made over the course of two years, and I deeply regret not having taken action sooner.
If you have any questions or just want to talk, feel free to send me a PM.

I sereusly think my house is haunted. for instance I was laying on my bed staring at the cealing. because it was like 3 AM, and I couldn't fall asleep, And i heard what sounded like my mother talking to a friend or something inside the room next to me it was loud, and there was laughing going and everything, it sounded exactly like my mom. So I went in to check it out, and noone was there, by this time I remembered my mom had gone on a church trip with my little sister and I was home alone. Maby I was just being paranoid, or maby it was the cat or something. But that wasn't the only time shit like that has happened when I was home alone.
