My motivation is centered around working out. Find out which ways are north, south, east, and west and then do a set of pushups in each direction. It's good stuff. Just use it as like a 20-30 minute activity to chill out and meditate on your body.
Maybe you don't beleive in chi and all this, but facing all the different directions really does help. It makes your internal organs stronger I guess. This gives you way more energy.
Even that out with some pullups atleast.
You can learn some cool stuff to do with just your bodyweight. http://www.weighttrainersunited.com/getinshape.html
Sumo squats are the shit. I mean THE SHIT. They get your whole body going. You will have energy when you need it and you'll sleep like a log.

I'm not jumping to any conclusions, but it seems to me that Social Anxiety Disorder is an excuse for being a pussy. You just need to force yourself to raise your hand or talk to someone, and you will realize that it's not so bad, and probably start do do so more often. Everyone feels uncomfortable in one situation or another.

Anxiety is not a "mental illness". There are numerous techniques out there that may help you deal with this issue. Go read Beyond Anxiety & Phobia by Bourne first and then you may want to try herbs like Kava, Valerian, St. Johns Wort in addition to CB therapy. And don't be to proud to seek help in your schools counseling office. Be thankful that it's there and that it's for free. A man must be strong (not weak) to have the courage and humility to ask for help.

Hello Rockytop.
Listen to me well. I also suffer a variant of social anxiety disorder. Contrary to whats been said above it is not an excuse to be pussy and it will not go away on itself by forcing yourself to be more open. You said you diagnosed yourself, you better go see a psycologist or the counseling office, they are the best who can diagnose you and orientate you. You are young and that is great, because the sooner you treat the problem the more chances you have to recover. Don?t let it rot whithin you or it will get worse over time. Social anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of. The therapy is hard, but being young you have chances of total recovey.  I know it is hard to even thinking about it, whatever I can help you here I am.
Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my mother language.

I don't think the circumstance of loving a girl but being afraid to move on it and being afraid of ruining your friendship is a good one.
because it leaves you constantly wanting more but stifiling your desires and torturing yourself over it.
I was in somewhat of a boat of that...... it went horribly and it seems like it goes horribly for many but not to say that that is your situation.
I think you should move on your feelings or develop feelings for someone else though.

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Thanks to everyone who posted their opinions/experiences. I did what I felt was right and went to a counselor. Then to a doctor. He pushed SSRIs on me but Ive heard too many bad things about them. However, we decided that Propranolol was the right thing for me. It can be prescribed to people who have 'stage freight', anxiety, high blood pressure, ext... its a beta blocker. Ive found that taking one before class is perfect. It prevents me from having a panic attack and I can get through class discussions perfectly. The rest of my life's issues I know I can get through life without the help of meds.
