Shyness or something else?!

Shyness or something else?

I'm 15 and I think I'm just really shy but it seems kind of extreme. Its REALLY hard for me to get to know people and when I finally do, I never really act like myself. It takes forever and I just get comfortable with being around them but I can never just talk. I dont like to go to places where a lot of people will be, (but sometimes i force myself anyways but thats sort of helped me) and whenever relatives come over I just go to my room most of the time but its not like I have no friends. We've been friends for years and I act the opposite around them. All loud and outgoing. Same with my family, just not my relatives or anyone else. I try my hardest to just speak my mind but Im afraid of what will come out of my mouth, like if it will be stupid or not. But with people I've known since forever, I dont care what I say. I worry about stupid things and often think people are talking about me. Is this just shyness, or something like avoidant personality disorder or agoraphobia?

Your exactly like me. I've always been that way. I've done my research on it, and I don't know if I could really put a name on it. I don't think it's either avoidant personality disorder or agoraphobia. I really don't think it's anything but extreme shyness. I think all my doctors in the past would have said something if there was a name for it...because I wouldn't even speak to them, my mom had to talk for me. Although, they were treating me for depression, anxiety, and panic disorder so they could have thought it was from that and also the fact that I am shy. You could go see a doctor, a psychiatrist, and get yourself evaluated to make sure it's not anything serious. Good luck.
