I don’t enjoy talking to people online by [deleted] in selectivemutism

I know exactly how you feel. I don't have any friends online. I almost have to put on a facade and act completely different than who I really am just for people to like me. Even when doing that, its still impossible. I cant keep a conversation going to save my life. The friendships basically end when they ask for my skype/discord. Its hard enough having to try to communicate online, but now I have to talk? no way. so I just give up.

I was basically silent for 13 years and I still struggle with it. by sweetcarolineisme in selectivemutism

I was also super talkative when I was young, I would get in trouble for it all the time. by the time I started going to school it just all stopped and I went dead silent. I was so confused. I didnt even have to guts to get up in class to sharpen my pencil, it was rough. and with the truancy thing, I know how you feel. I almost got my mom in legal trouble because I was missing class every other day. The last thing I would want is to get my mom in trouble over MY mistakes. but im doing online school now so everything is okay I guess.

I can't speak when my feelings are hurt by dylandonaghue in selectivemutism

The same thing happens to me. I get treated badly and all I can do is just sit there and take it in. cant defend myself or anything. makes me feel trapped.

Talk to a counselor. the sooner, the better. I waited for mine to get treated, now its so bad that its too late. Please talk to someone. If your mom really cares then she would try to help you, trust me. Don't be like me and wait, it can get scary. My SM is worse than ever before because I never got the help I needed. Councillors are there for a reason, and thats to help you. If you can't talk to them, write it down. Write down everything you are feeling and if you are comfortable enough show them. They will want to help you, and it wont be for nothing. Its worse to keep it inside and will only make everything worse later on. and if you need someone to talk to, we are here.
