I’m obsessed with teachers, and I hate it. I want to talk to them so badly, or build “student-teacher appropriate” relationships. But everytime I go to talk to one of them I have terrible anxiety. It’s killing me. And once I set my mind on going to talk to one of them, I HAVE to go talk to them, or else the thought never escapes my mind. It usually takes me a week just to say hi. Help?!
You might be an exceptional person who is looking for a mentor, coach, or friend in your teachers. How’s your social life in school, and how is your life at home? Are you looking to make strong connections with older, more sensible people who understand you?
Perhaps you have feelings that cause you extreme thoughts when interacting with your teachers. Are you desperately seeking their approval? Do you secretly want your teachers to find you through your peers and discover you for who you are? Are you afraid that if you make a “mistake” interacting with your teacher, that she’ll put you in a certain place?
Think about what is causing you to obsess about these social connections and why they feel so risky and dangerous to you. Are these feelings familiar? As in, do you remember them from childhood?

My 9 year old son has always been very sensitive. He is not your typical rambunctious boy. He has always been an introvert since he was a little boy. He is a kind and smart too. But at the same time he is your typical goofy kid as long as he is on a one on one basis with a boy or girl. He loves cars and video games. The problem comes down when he is at the playground he says that most kids just seem to ignore him. He says that he tries to join in whatever they are playing but it never works. He always ends up playing alone and it breaks my heart to hear this. He has had an anxiety issue when he was younger. And I wonder if the kids pick thhis up and that is why they ignore him. I worry it will affect his self-esteem in the long run. Especially when he goes to middle school. Do you think a smaller private school will be better or will he have the same problem (he attends public school)?
