Feel down nowadays.. Finding someone to talk to.
-
I seems to be the laughing stock in my class.. How can i boost my confidence? I really wish i could have the humour within me like some of my classmates. They laugh , they joke around. I always feel neglected with my friends, just because i am too quiet. But in my inner heart, i have lots of stuffs i would want to tell my friends ...But my english really sucks, and i am afraid people will laugh at me so i chose not to talk. And i really hate my voice, maybe it's because of my voice people make fun of me... i don't know. I have no where to pour my sorrows to , so i posted in forum, hoping someone could give me some advice and share with me your experiences.

You need to read more to boost your english. Pick up a hobby that boost your self confidence like Singing.
-
hmm singing sounds like a good idea, any place that provides singing lesson so i can get a start.

Perhaps one day when you look back, you most likely laugh at the incident.
But truth is, life is hard. You have to be daring, dare to fail. If your english is no good, then improve and speak more. People laugh or ignore you, you use your creativity or brain to think what better way you can spice up your conversation. Life is like that. Nobody is going to give a damn about you unless you go out there and take care of yourself. You have to be outwardly. Ignore all those negative thoughts about you, think positive. Believe that you are a positive person and don't care what other people think about you. Then life will work out better for you.

ok I will try to be more positive listen to you for once

I'm just saying that singing is one possible solution. There are many hobbies which boost self esteem and confidence.
It's just finding one that suits you and you like it.

I tell you.You better start releasing everything slowly, cannot scared already. School life is the most fun of your life (at least for me), where it is pure enjoyment and laughter everyday. People are carefree and on the same level. School life is also the age where you can do crazy stuffs (run around in school etc) and still laugh about it.
As you get older you will 100% regret if you did not make down some fun memories with your friends. When you go out to work i think you can rarely experience the same fun and laughter anymore. People are more mature, uptight, etc.
Ahh..... i miss the days when i was still in uniform..........

@ jiani o.o u saw my facebook acc . lols! @ yach thanks very much , i think so far secondary school life is the best .. I had done lots of crazy stuffs in secondary school. Really feel nostalgic about tt.

Someday u will realised the solution to all these problems is within u. To bond with yr friends, just join them in their activities, u dun even hav to talk much. Just being there will already improve yr relationship with them.
Be proud of yr voice, cos u are the only one in the world with that unique voice.
Abt yr english, dun worry too much. Lots of entrepreneurs got even worse english than u.
-
You can just say what you wanted to say out loud.
Do not be scared of your english standards, when you speak, if they joke about it, think it this way,
they get humored, and you get corrected for your english.
kill 2 birds with 1 stone leh, not bad ar? :D

All you need here is a bit of confidence, and be able to stand up for yourself.
If I were you I'll just punch somebody..
But I don't really know because that has never happen to me before personally.. I don't know what to do about your english cuz mine isn't very good either ever since army lol. -
Join a sports CCA. That should help with your social circle.
As for your issue with speaking, watching movies sometimes helps. Get a favourite actor and maybe practise his little speeches? I understand this is unconventional, but lots of people gain confidence through drama and theatre, or simply imitating their fav actors or in fav scenes. Just don't choose Harry Potter or Transformers kind of stuff, if you know what I mean...

tis whole week I feel good
whenever I got negative thought, I always tell myself must be HAPPY
it seems to work well
-
yes aunt, if you feel sad, can eat happy meals, go to happy days NTUC club, visit happy valley in hongkong, or simply celebrate people happy birdday.
When you are happy, naturally, you get lucky. Yeah! way to go aunt

Life is up and down.
For me, I am very quiet type.
Even when there is company dinner, I usually very quiet and sit and see pple talking.
So far, life not boring at all.
-
Yeah for pick me up threads...
Seaweedboi's English is better than most here, I wonder why the modesty...
Believe it or not... There is only one person that can make you happy... Yourself?
Try jamming sessions. Scream like no restrain. Cheaper than most ktv...
-
No Doubt life is up and down, but cost of living is alway up, my take is try to be on the upside, and have less downside.

Hi Seaweedboi,
Frankly speaking, you have received a lot of good advice. Bottom like is, enlarge your circle of friends thru' sports, best is group sports.
Language need to practice before one can prefect it. You need to go thru' the period where you can laugh together with others when you make mistake. It is ok, everyone make mistake.
I especially like one of the reply, which speaks of my heart's feeling too. I do miss those days with uniform, it is the most carefree moment in life. You need to treasure them when you still have it. Don't be overtaken by your own image, and let those happy school life passes you by.
All the best to you.
