[perturbed]

I'm scared to go to the guidance counselor because I know my parents would see it as going behind their backs. I don't really go to the doctor regularly and when I do my parents are there (I've never really been to the OB/GYN, which would be the only circumstance my parents would not be present).

Thanks for the tips. The problem is that I don't only do it with new people, I do it with my friends, too. It's a constant paranoia and it causes me to never act like my normal self... as in I tend to conform for the sake of getting along with someone.

I'm in track, and I'm friends and get along with all of the track girls, but I still get anxiety when I'm around them. It's like I KNOW they like me, and I KNOW they don't hate me, but a little voice in the back of my head always tells me they're mocking me when I'm not looking...

Thanks for the tips, I really do appreciate it.
