why am i being such a coward

[Bsmith_90]

omg this is driving me crazy and if i don't i think im gonna go insane.

All my life ive never had a problem going up to girls and talking to them, to me it isn't that big a deal so i never really got to nervous about it.

However there is this girl at school who i really like, the only problem is no matter how hard i try, how much i try to force myself, i don't seem to have it in me to go up to her and talk.

This is really annoying to me as this has never happened to me before, this is something ive never had to deal with before.

1. Anyone else been through this?
2. How do i get around it
3. what are some ways to get myself to relax
4. would talking to this girl over instagram first be a better idea

Maybe ask some friends to help as in be with you when you talk or have a plan.

is the girl in your class?

No she isn't in my class she's in the year/grade below me.

and my friends wouldnt be much help, they can barely hold a conversation with me never mind with someone they don't know.

It's normal to be a little more nervous around people you like. I can go up to any boy in the school and hold a conversation with them if I want...except if I fancy them, then it's tough. To begin the conversation maybe try as you suggested Snapchat or Facebook (if you have her on Facebook) ask her how her day has been or something really normal and stuff, that will get her talking. Just try not to be totally random and come up to her and talk gibberish, have a plan of what you wanna say. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you, yeah it does make sense. I cant find her on facebook but i have her on instagram.

I do have a plan as to what to say but as it gets closer to when i plan on going to talk to her, i start thinking of flaws in my plan and eventually i keep getting to the point where i just think come up with something better and try again tomorrow, this happened everyday this week.
