It seems like it started probably about 5 years ago, I’m 18 now so I was probably like 14. I have always been a shy, quiet person but have always managed to make friends and maintain relationships pretty effieciently. I still have this problem though- I feel immense pressure is social situations. I always feel like I’m being judged and the feeling is so overpowering that my face tenses up and my cheek starts shaking. It’s really embarrassing and I HATE IT so much. I really want to know how to change it. I have tried these stress management pills but they don’t work, for prom recently I was so nervous- I tried some vodka (not a lot) but it didn’t do anything for me. I have tried sleeping pills and I don’t like them because they make me so tired and I can’t focus. I have tried medicines like nyquil and that makes me a bit drowsy. I just want to know how to change this- it seems like I will never get over it! Please help! Any suggestions! Thanks

I never understood how people use the dreaded “self esteem” issues when making excuses for others. Or when they use the term against people that disagree with them.
What are self esteem issues?
And why is the term used mostly with females?
Per Diedra O, we are not allowed to add nor clarify to questions, so I hope this question is clear.

To make the question narrower, let’s say how should I deal with a girl who has a very low self-esteem? We’re close friends and we may take this to the next level and form a relationship. IMO this is what we both want to. The problem is that she freaks out when message I her late. It seems that she thinks that I may consider her questions stupid or something.
What is the best way to soothe her and make a balance in our friendship/later, relationship?

I have a younger brother who is 24 (I am 25), who is now living with me until he can “get on his feet”. I am being very stern with him in that he lacks motivation. How long would you give him to find a job and then his own place? Any insight is appreciated.
