    Looking for some advice re dental work..

    Sorry to hear of your problems regarding your teeth. I live in the UK and fortunate to have found an amazing dentist who is honest and always provides me with a complete breakdown of everything that needs to be done before starting any work.

    How to deal with the silent treatment?

    Sometimes people need space for whatever reason, but just letting them contact you again in their own time is best. I'm glad there was closure.:)

    How to live completely alone?

    I can understand your pain Peaches, as I am also living alone now after a long term relationship. I also have a mild disability as suffered a stroke last year. I know realise it's not so bad being on your own and realise I can enjoy my own company. Getting a pet really helps as one of the other...

    I am always scared that everyone hates me

    You have the support of a loving family, and I definitely think you should take your mum's advice and see a doctor. He may give you counselling or therapy sessions, and don't think you are making a big scene, because you're not. You just need a professional to talk things over with. Another...

    Should I try to contact an old friend?

    It's not crazy to want to contact an old school friend from way back. She'll probably be very happy and flattered that you took the trouble to make contact. 16 years is a long time so you'll have plenty to catch up on:)

    Strangers who feel the need to tell you you're shy

    I was always being told I'm quiet, and many people do make the assumption you must be shy if you don't talk much. I tend to be more of a listener than a talker. You are right not to let their judgement affect you as it can be very easy to take offence or get upset by what others think

    How to like me?

    A good idea is to write down everything you like about yourself, for example you may be good listener, or always willing to help others. Forget bad any weaker points as you don't want to focus on the negative. And of course you can always work on areas of your personality you don't like. Our...

    Scared to go to event

    Try going to small events to start with, then gradually build up your confidence. Try visualising yourself at the event having a great time and meeting lots of nice, friendly people. Really feel the emotion, and how happy you'll feel at having stepped out of your comfort zone

    this girl i like...

    You fell for this girl based only on her looks, and since then you've been creating a fantasy in your mind of meeting her and what she'll be like. Your illness has resulted in you losing confidence in yourself and you worry how such a beautiful girl will see you. It sounds like you're focusing...

    Fear of being a burden

    I also used to be very shy, but try and remember that other people such as cashiers, or shop assistants may be equally shy and lack confidence. One tip which will take you out of your comfort zone, but boost your confidence is to try and talk to one new person every day.

    Why are most British people so socially cold?

    I'm from the UK, and personally I am a very friendly and approachable person, but in general Brits have a reputation for being reserved and cold. Most people I know are warm and friendly, but I think if you visit a big city like London you may find it harder to get to know people. I think being...

    I just don't know what to do with myself

    I am so sorry to read that you're in such a bad place emotionally. Do you have any family or friends you can confide in? You're very young, and 17 can be a difficult age to go through. You're not a child, yet still not an adult. Try not to focus on these negative thoughts going on in your head...
