Suggest remedy for shy, highly introverted and non-confident behavior
human
Hi. I feel that I'm inadequate at everything in life. I'm a 19 year old trying to sort out my life. My only goal in life is to make my parents proud. But I am awkward, highly introverted, shy and under-confident. My self-esteem is non-existent and I feel sad all the times. I don't know what to do. I have no friends or anybody out there who I can share anything with. What's wrong with me?

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queriesI can understand your concern. You are just 19 and it is not good to take excessive worries at your age. The symptoms like persistent sadness, lack of self esteem, less or no friends, feeling of introversion, shyness, lack of confidence etc should be evaluated properly. These symptoms could occur due to depression more specifically mild depression. Please talk to your parents and tell them about the persistent sadness and lack of confidence you are having. Visit a psychiatrist for evaluation.Even good counselling by a counsellor would help to reduce these symptoms. If symptoms persist then medicines will be needed. SSRIs like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Escitalopram etc are used commonly in such symptoms. Talk to a psychiatrist for evaluation. Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care.
