Advice for not caring what others think?

So im going into junior year of highschool andthe past 2 years ive been pretty quiet, reserved, and always feeling anxious in school. Whenever Ive had to read a paper in front of the class I stuttered a ton and looked like amoron. I realize I only have 2 years left but Im still feeling a bit nervous for school to start tomorrow. any advice?

Advice for not caring what others think? Stop it. Stop caring what others think. :|

after high school ends, statues and what you wore and who your friends were mean jack squat, so take that into account, just go there and do your thing...like a boss

you shouldn't care about what I think so why give you advice?

I think everyone cares what other people to think to some extent, you just can't let that hold you back. For me I used to be very shy and socially awkward, but with time I just accepted who I was and what others thought of me eventually stopped holding me back. I think putting yourself in situations that are really difficult for you really helps, I know once I got a job where I had to interact with people regularly and did a public speaking class things seemed to change pretty fast for me. Finding good friends also helps alot :) PerfectCircles

You need to put yourself in some mindset. Imagine you're with childhood friends at a big party and everyone is drunk and very interested. Come out very confident. If you can, start your presentation with a joke, people with be captivated by what you're saying, and feed off that.

It comes with practice, lots and lots of practice

Meh, I don't care about your problem...

hang in there. pretty soon you'll look back and see how much what you're concerned about now really didn't mean crapcomp_atkins

It's a great opportunity. If you succeed, everyone will like you, if you fail, nobody cares. Enjoy your moment of glory and impress your audience.

You need to become more confident, and then it will come naturally to care less what others think, and to be less anxious. At least that is the case for me. There are a number of ways to become more confident, like improving your appearance. All you need to do is find a way which works for you, and then invest more time in that.

Be yourself. If being reserved is your thing than thats what you've got to do. Who knows that might change in a couple of years and you might become more out going. You just don't know whats going to happen, you only know how you feel currently. Theres no point lieing to yourself, and just ignore and shrug off anything anyone says.
