There is nothing wrong with you. You probably just lack self confidence and have low self esteem. Being chubby is better then being stick thin, as long as you are not very overweight, do not worry about it. Who cares what other people think anyway. What is wrong with being shy ? As long as you have enough confidence to engage in a conversation and answer when you are spoken to, you are fine. I would prefer a shy person over a mouthy little ***** any-day. People that think you have a problem, are the ones with the problem. Do not take any notice of ******* like that. I am glad that you have an amazing home and great parents. Blood is thicker then water. You are only in eight grade, chances are, your shyness will improve as you get older.
I'm in ninth grade and I see lots of people like you. I really don't think it is worried about, it's just a small lack of people skills mostly, you just become nervous is all. I wouldn't worry about it. The best way to deal with it is to overcome your fear and slowly attempt to socialize more with new people, even just a smile is a good way to start. Hope this helps!
No your fine.I have all the same problems except im learning to overcome them.When we read in class,i raise my hand to read out loud.I had to present a science farir project in front of my whole science class and because i kept reading in front of class, i wasn't as nervous.It's naturally,we al go through it you just got overcome it.
You will be fine! You are a "nervous nelly". As you gain maturity you will learn some coping skills that will make you less neurotic. Just think things through. You don't have to have all the answers... work at being a good listener... when you catch yourself talking really fast to friends. Everyone enjoys someone that listens to things they feel are important.

I wouldn't start by saying something is wrong with you. You have a certain reaction in certain situations. It could be anxiety or a type of phobia. To really find out, I would suggest speaking with a doctor, couselor, or therapist.
It's never really easy to get called on in class, and if you describe yourself as "chubby," it might be part of this. Are other kids making fun of you?
Remember - kids can be really cruel to one another in school. It does get better. I am so glad you came here to ask.
Everyone has something wrong with them mentally, whether they'd like to admit it or not. There are just different levels of severeness.
What your going through sounds pretty typical to me. I have gone through some of the same things as yourself. I also shave alot when I present and talk to new people, but that's normal, its just you being nervous. Avoiding people and being afraid of what they think, yeah that's a human fear to, nothing abnormal. Even though we think we have wonderful things and amazing lives and such there is always something that might bring us down, so don't worry about feeling like this.
Your still very young, you will find ways to get over what you are going through and find the answers you are searching for. So just relax a bit, and if you need to, just talk some of this stuff out or express it out some other way, but I don't see anything seriously wrong with you.
Maybe you just like being alone. I don't think there's anything wrong wtih you. There's lots of people like you.
no nothing is worng.... it just have somthing to do with being nervous around people... youll overcome it
could be social anxiety. Look into that online.
