What is wrong with me mentally?!


Question: For about a year or two, i don't really talk to my parents when I'm at home. It's not because I have problems with them, but I just feel like there's nothing to say. Recently I got into a big argument with my stepdad. It's the same way with my friends also, I just don't talk anymore and people call me the quiet kid. Nothing traumatic has really happened, I'm just a 17 yr old male in high school.

I was like that in high school. I never really talked to anyone except for online. I was always the quiet kid too. The reason I never talked to anyone was because my dad was always away, and when he was home he was extremely antisocial...so I thought it was a problem with me. I felt this so strongly that I sort of shut down around my friends at school...

So, to solve the antisocial part I got a job waiting tables which forced me to talk to people and hold conversations...otherwise you don't get tips lol. It worked for me and made it much easier to start conversations with people I don't even know...maybe try activities that make you talk? Or try things that spur conversation, like complimenting people and making small talk with people you don't normally speak to.

sometimes you have to just accept who you are and make the best of it peoples personalities change as they get older but if its to much to handle tell your parents or a teacher

You definetly need to seek help, and the help you need is a qualified psychiatrist who can talk to you and prescribe medicationsAllergic reactions to medication

That's not necessarily a bad thing. God knows there are enough people out there that don't know how to keep their mouths shut. Being that young, you may possibly-and this may or may not be so-somewhat lacking in social skills, like how to "make conversation". This should come with time and life experience.
