Why am I so scared of people?

I find connecting with people so HARD! I cant even say hello to them. I feel so intimidated and rejected by the whole world. Sometimes I even seem rude but the truth is that I am scared of people and I dont think I'm worth anyone's time and love.





What can I do about this?

You're shy, painfully so by the sound of it. You've got an irrational fear of rejection or not been liked by other people. Of course, it's irrational because the chances of been put in an awkward social situation is very low (unless you're nervous - it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy or whatever they call it... you get scared things will go wrong, and they will go wrong). That, and people tend to like you more if you talk.





There's several different ways to treat shyness:


1) Therapy (there's different types, such as group therapy) - if you're so shy though, it's understandable if you find this method intimidating and want to take a different route, even though this method is (supposed to be) the most effective way





2) Medicine - there's anti-anxiety drugs which will ease you into social situations and from there on you can overcome your fear, but I don't recommend this unless combined with therapy because it doesn't fix the root of the problem





3) Search the internet (Google 'overcoming shyness')





4) Take the path of self-therapy. This pretty much involves easing yourself - GRADUALLY - into social situations. For example, start saying 'hello' to people (first people you know, then complete strangers), start smiling more, maintain eye contact (don't look away unless the other person looks away, or if you start staring), maybe even making comments here and there in conversations or starting some small talk with your neighbour. Then work your way up, getting used to all sorts of different social situations, till you're no longer shy. This method is the method I took, but be warned that it does take time, persistence and patience. I've never underwent therapy/therapy+drugs, but I'm betting therapy would be a lot quicker.
it sounds like you have anxiety, it is because you hace got all the right thnings in you to function like a normal human being (i didnt mean that to sound rude) oit may because you are low in vitamin zinc b6. i only know this because i had to go to specialists to find out what was wrong with me.


you may be a pyrolles person.


the only way you can take medication for it is if you get tested. all the medications are natural.


it is called the pyrolluria disease.





WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT TAKE ANTI-ANXIETY DRUGS FROM YOUR DOCTORS-TRUST ME-THEY MAKE YOU LOOPY, FAT, DOPEY AND SILLY- I AM WARNING YOU DON'T TAKE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that you are a highly sensitive person. Go to amazon and find books on being a HSP. Read the reviews and descriptions of the books before you order them.





HSP's have very thin skins and are very sensitive. I went though a phase in my life where I thought I was this way; however, I am not. I was just sorta down for a while.





In my opinion, HSP's would relate best to literary people (writers) and more reserved musicians who also tend to have highly sensitive spirits.





Just a thought.
What has happened to you to make you feel this way it a better question, you really need some self esteem, if someone says anything belittling you, just ignore them, some people do come of as rude or aloof, but they are just checking out the other person and whether they can trust them, so I think you have trust issues, see a cousellor and hopefully they'll be able to help you, goodluck! :)
Because people are scary?





It won't come like that, but make an effort to try to talk to people more... like when you go to the shop ask questions to shop people, and you'll see when they are very friendly you feel like doing the same thing more and more! Then it will go away and you won't be scared anymore ;)
You lack of self confidence.... you find yourself un-attracitve, or you find people judging you all the time.





How old are you? Get a job where you have to work with people. Maybe a cashier at a supermarket? It'll be ALOT easier to talk to random people on the street after awhile.
Its extremely likely its because you aren't confident in your social skills, you may often wonder whats the right thing to say at the right time to someone, improve your social skills your going to need them.

seek counseling.
No easy answer with that. It is a working process and will only get worse if you don't see a counselor or doctor.
I'm the same way. I tried to fit in at one time but can't so I just stick to myself mostly.. and I kind of enjoy that.
