Intense Shyness & Fear of Judgment

Every time I enter a group, I feel as though all eyes are on me, silently judging me—even if no one says a word. This fear and shyness are like a wall I cannot break. In class, my hands shake, my heart races, and I struggle to speak. I want to be myself, but fear holds me back. Writing this letter is the only way I can release these feelings—and maybe, one day, feel free.
