Dealing with social anxiety?

I have 3 1/2 months before i graduate high school and i have trouble speaking up and opening up to classmates i new for 4 years what should i do, so everyone can see the real me. I stopped taking medication because it didn’t work and i saw a psychiatrist, but my parents didn’t want to keep giving away money because it was gonna take a while. I am seeing a school counselor every week and she is trying to help. what can i do on my own to talk in all of my classes.

you just have to stop caring about what other people think. I’m really shy but whenever I think about talking in front of people, I just think about how they would feel in my place. A lot of people are shy at varying degrees but they’ll still know how you feel. Plus you’ll feel better being able to tell everyone your opinion instead of sitting back and letting other people do the talking. And maybe, if it helps, just pretend your someone else that is really good at speaking, pretend they are in your place and how they would act in a situation. i’ve watched a lot of people in my classes who are shy and the teachers make them talk, everyone listens to them because they want to hear what they have to say but they never make fun of them because it’s people like that who are more perceptive and who you just want to hear talk because they never do. it’s people that talk all the time and who are into themselves that people make fun of because those people don’t care. It’s you that others can relate to, everyone has been in a place, or are in a place, that they feel too scared to talk so they’ll understand if you stutter. hope that helps!
