Is it normal to be scared about college?

I'm too scared to go to college...?

  • I was supposed to start college yesterday but I ended up not going... I was too nervous... I managed to get there (Which in the past I had a hard time doing) but I was 10 minutes late and everyone was already in the class and I was too scared to enter, so I ran away. Then this morning I was supposed to go in, but again... I got myself so worked up I ended up having an argument with my mum and just sat in my room crying for 2 hours... and now I'll be late again so I'm not going... Since sunday I have just felt really down and haven't seemed to stop crying.... I feel so stupid and just wish I was normal :'( I feel like I'm acting like a big baby but no matter how hard I try and push myself I just can't do it! I've tried college in the past but ended up quitting due to being too far behind and missing too many days and I'm scared that the same is going to happen again... But I just feel like I'm getting worse.... I just worry too much... I feel so ugly and that people are staring at me... I can never find any clothes that look good on me because I'm too fat... I haven't ate since sunday.... My mind always goes blank when I'm outside and I have a hard time talking to people... I wish I had of went in on monday... I've just made things 10x worse... Sorry if I've just moaned on a bit... I need to write something somewhere... and I need advice... How do I make myself feel better?

    Aww sweethart don't be scared. Trust me in the long run it will be good for you. Im starting college in november and im actually excited. Think about how much good it can do for you. Your doing something that can help with your future and you will make lots of friends. Just remember everyone is human. And don't worry about what people say about you. No one is ugly in my eyes. And trust me their will be guys who will find you very beautiful but you gotta believe it for yourself. :) don't be sad or cry. Just think your doing something good for yourself. Just pray about it and everything will be fine. Take deep breath's. wish you the best of luck hun! xx

If you always been a timid and shy person when it comes to meeting new people, you could be suffering from social anxiety. Usually these kinds of people hate to leave all that is familiar to them and make new friends and get used to new environments. There are university counselors available on campus just search for them on your college website and make an appointment. S/he can give you better advice and perhaps set you up with another college student to help you cope with this new start in your life. It is typically normal to experience some form of anxiety as a freshman but since it seems to be affecting you a bit more severe than most, you should talk to someone about this.

I find that it's easier not to try and make friends at all. Don't try not to make them....just don't try to make them.

Think about it this way: Life is full of Challenges and its only You who can take the tiny step to make something out of your life, trust yourself you are UNIQUE and no one is better than you and life is mutual so start loving and respecting yourself in order to be loved and respected in return. Its normal to be scared, we all get scared from time to time , just have faith in yourself and the world will be on your side( Your World Your Way) Don't quit education if you want to have a successful life. please remember: "A journey of a thousand mile must be taken with a single step. Please take the step and move forward Take good care :)
