Why im i this way at school???

Ok well this is something weird about i dont know why tho.

Well at home i will be my self, and talk

Well at school i just dont talk and do my work the bad thing about this i miss out on alot of things like getting to hang out with friends from school talk in class when we can instead of just sitting there. i have no idea why this is. Its kinda like i have a slit personality kinda as in im two different people when im at school and at home. all my friends tell me that and i noticed.

Update:

but when im not at school im just out side of school i will talk why is it just at school

Update 2:

Well i have no problem presenting things infront of a class. and outside i talk and have no problem socializeing its just at school

Update 3:

So your telling me its a good thing that I place school frist but still cant even try to get a word out when in class when all my work is done nonthing else to do but talk and yet i still dont.

    Maybe you actually want to learn something. From what I've read of your short paragraph, you really need to focus on school. You'll have the rest of your life to develop friendships. Right now, you need to focus on developing your brain.

    P.S.

    I know this may have sounded harsh, but since it is the internet, I need to clarify that I am honestly offering good advice. There are too many kids on the internet that act as though they are illiterate to their native language. This isn't something to take lightly. If you are going to get anywhere in the world, you need to be able to communicate effectively with intelligent people.

    i was like that at school too... i gotta admit i still am a bit in college classes... it's like... i didnt feel free to do anything nor talk cause i thought either people wouldn't like me, or think i was silly, or wouldnt talk to me back (sometimes it actually happened xD) but w/e, just be yourself, try to be more outgoing. From what i've seen, if you're shy people dont really take the first step and talk to you, so you have to make the first move. And to the people who wont talk to you (or w/e) well... screw them! why should you care? Be yourself, try to act like if you were home, or better yet, try to feel the same way as when you're home, and i'm sure people will like you. Good luck! :)

    Are you feeling like in a panic when there's a gap in conversation? Or do you just let things go? It's okay to be yourself, and you don't seem anxious, only concerned. You have kept the observations of your behavior in perspective, your objective and not unfair to yourself. May be someone hurt you a long time ago and there's just a little resentment or anger, and so you dummy up. But you're fine, wait and the things you want will happen

    Interesting perception. So you seem to struggle with the building since you are fine outside. So when you are in the building you feel judged, but outside you feel free to be who you were meant to be. I find that interesting because I noticed that if I was inside my house I had extreme stress, but outside I was not as stressed. For me the association to the house was from an abusive husband and his family, but I didn't deal with them when I was outside in my yard or gardens, so outside I had peace. Maybe you also have some kind of connection to the actual building. Maybe a teacher or classmate bullied you in the building and that is the trigger for you. Most times we can be ourselves with family, since they tend to accept us for who we are, but when we are at school or work, we hold back a bit in case we are judged. It seems so fascinating that you are free to socialize with them away from the school, and you can talk in front of the class, but you are stuck on the building. I guess you are the only one who knows what the building symbolizes for you. You are the one who knows the answer to this question because you are the only one who knows what happened in that building, you have the answer to this question, I hope you figure it out. Peace be with you.

    Sounds like your shy, or just a quiet person in general. I don't talk much @ school only because I don't know that much people. Your most likely going to be able to be your self when your @ home because you feel comfortable. Its normal don't worry about it.

    you seem very devoted to your school work and it is a very good thing. Reading on i realized that you are not one of the socially awkward people I have met.

    No problem here.

    Just force yourself to be more outgoing, and soon it will feel normal.
