Hey, Athena. 
Your problems are not stupid at all. Everyone has their own problems and they shouldn't be compared because those problems still affect them to some extent, therefore, those problems matter too. So never be afraid to reach out here because you feel like a problem is "too small" or "stupid", okay? 
Sounds like you were struggling a lot 3 years ago. I'm sorry you dealt with all of that but I'm really glad that a few things have improved since then such as your confidence and self esteem for example. Seems like you're doing a lot of things right and you should keep that up. Although, can I ask what you mean by "emotionless"? Do you feel numb? When you struggle with certain things, it's a good idea to let yourself feel those emotions even if they hurt. Then go from there in finding healthy and helpful outlets/solutions to resolving those feelings. Do you have many outlets and ways to express yourself? Journaling and creative hobbies can allow you to do this.
As for having trouble talking to others, you say that you aren't shy so that isn't what is preventing you from talking to others but could it help to practice conversing with different people? Particularly people in your class you don't personally know so that you can improve on social skills. That is probably really hard for you, but the more you take part in these discussions and make efforts to talk to others, it'll help you ease out of your comfort zone and improve social skills. With people you find it difficult to talk to, you could introduce yourself, ask them how they are and ask questions about themselves. Just listen, you know? Respond to what they say, share similar experiences of yours etc. At first it'll probably be hard, but socialization can become easier with practice for some. Also, can I ask what the problem is with the people who used to be in your class 3 years ago? Are they mistreating you now?
