i just started high school about 3 or 4 months ago. and i cant talk to anyone around me even people i use to know from my old school close friends im fine with. even teachers i have a hard time talking to. im always worried people will think im weird i over think the smallest things. i always sit alone on the bus i only really have one friend that i talk to. i really want friends but when ever someone talks to me i freeze up and cant say anything to them but nod my head. and i think of awkward situations that havnt even happend and think about them for hours i dont know why i do this. has anyone gone through the same thing or have tips to help?

Your issue isn't school. Talk to your parents about inability to talk and anxiety and that you would like to see a therapist.
Talk to your school nurse and ask if your school or school district has a psychologist and if so you want an appt.
There are no magic wands kiddo. You have to come out of your comfort zone sooner or later. Choose one of those people who tried to be friends with you and ask them if theyd like to jave voffee with you. Admit your inability to be social. Own it. Honesty goes far.
Good luck!
