I don't know why but I'm scared to go to the movies?

My family wants to go see a movie tonight. And I really don't want to go. They said it was my choice and I don't know if I should go.. the thing is I have been struggling with kind of low self esteem and I just don't feel up to it. I like to go out but because of this problem I have been going out A LOT less =( And plus my family and me don't get along that well but we are trying to make things better. And all my friends are out of town. And I don't really get out of the house anymore because of this problem of not feeling confident/ good about myself anymore. Should I go and try to get over it or should I just stay home? I want to go but I'm kind of scared and I don't really understand why I am so upset about it =(

Answer:
JUST GO! You can't be like this forever. Your gonna have to get over it eventually. Whats gonna happen later in life when you get older having job going to college. Just go have a fun time. I use to be the same way. But you will go and you will have fun. But if you dont go then your gonna regret not going and miss out of fun. JUST GO GO GOOOO! YOU WILL HAVE FUN!
Get over it, go out, have a good time, relax.
make the mood light and nontroublesome
Just Go Pick Out A Fun Movie And Have A Good Time :-)
go it will be fun!! :D
Go to the movies ! Buy popcorn and coke and sweets and enjoy yourself, and if you do feel self confident [which come on, no need to be thaaaaat self concious] remember a cinema is a dark room ! =]

please go dont miss out on a good movie !
I went through a period of time I felt the same way. I'd just want to stay home all the time because of the same reason. But the times that I was pushed or pushed myself to get out, I had a lot of fun. Perhaps you should try it too, especially since you said that you're trying to make things better with your family. This could be a good opportunity.
the only way to get over it is to go out. I did the same thing from about 13-16, but then I just gave up and went everywhere even though it was uncomfortable at first. it's either that or start seeing a shrink...
I feel like you sometimes, what I usually do is just force myself to be really positive, but if you don't wanna go, then don't. You could call some of yer friends that are out of town and talk to them instead =].
GO!! Don't be in a self imposed prison,enjoy life,find things that you like to do. Anxiety comes and goes,if it gets worse see Dr. for meds.
i think you should go
not for him but for your self
you shuold go out and enjoy your life
and with the whole self esteem and
you dont have to impress and one but your self
the only one judgeing you should be you
and i bet your one hell of a girl
i feel like that too, dont think your alone on this...after i had my daughter, i had horrible self esteem due to the weight gain and not being able to do anything...but i went to couseling and i feel better now, so maybe you should try some counseling to help the self esteem or maybe get some books on how to help that out. Personally i think you should go, this is the first step! take care and i hope you feel better about yourself
I think u should go out for 3 reasons:
1.seeing people that love u and want 2 have fun with u can help boost ur self esteem!
2.U can make things better with ur family!
3.U have no friends 2 go out with so u have NO reason not 2 go!
There is only 1 reasons why u shouldnt and that reason is becuz u dont feel like it and 2 me thats a pretty stupid reason!
If you are really not up for it don't go.

But if you are try to relax by breathing calmly and not going to quickly. Just take little steps to be happy out in the movies. Just try to stay calm.
You should go. The more you stay in the house, the more alone you will feel. Its easy to feel isolated on a holiday weekend when all your friends are traveling and/or your town seems deserted because everyone has fled to the beach for the weekend. But getting out will do you good. Plus it will give you a great opportunity to try and reconnect with your family. Make the most of it.
Well it won't hurt to go, besides, you may enjoy being out. Please try to work on your self esteem. It sounds to me like you've a loving family, express your feelings and I'm pretty sure you'll get support and understanding.
Do this for your family and you will enjoy the company for a change. I look at it this way you wont be around much longer , off to college or married one day and you will look back on this time and wonder why you made such a big deal about movies and family. Go out make some memories. Events pass but memories last forever.
u have too many questions rattling out on your head. First make ur mind whether to go or not for a movie.
u low esteem is just ur mental block, there could have been some incident in ur life which was blocked, in your early ages, and u have been knowingly/unknowingly been maintaining that block till today.

It is good u r aware, this is the first step towards clearing the blockage.
u lack communication with the people whom u live the most, as long as u do not communicate properly, there is no way u can go ahead.
I can suggest u an opening. Go to a camp or free services offered in your area and go to the other side of the table and ask the organizer the organizer that u can assist for free provided u r trained. None will say No to u. This is ur start, and do some work like this for a month. Make sure u work as it is needed, and slowly but surely ur confidence will be coming back to u.

Try this ! ALL THE BEST FOR UR CONQUERING YOURSELF.
try to get yourself up to it...put makeup on...(though i'm sure your pretty without it..)put on your best outfit...if you feel that you can't ask your parents to wacth a movie at home..rent a movie...buy popcorn just like the movies...tell them you feel sick and perfer to stay home just in case you feel worse...
Good luck! e-mail me any questions :D
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Take a shower, get dressed, and just do it (go to the movies). You will be glad you did.

The way to conquer low self esteem is to do simple tasks and then build up to larger tasks to accomplish. As you complete a task, your self confidence grows. Even if no one else praises you - you can priase yourself and hold a party for one. (smile). The great leaders in all fields (music, politics, etc.) many times must use self talk in their heads to take giant leaps. They are leaders and have no one pushing them but have everyone looking up to them. Many nights are lonely reflective nights for them that the general public never sees. Just go to the movies and be done with it. You can even role play. For instance when I get dressed up for an important occassion, I try to act, talk, and walk like the Queen of England. I play role games in my mind while I smile with confidence at the crowd.Try this and it might help you allieviate any fears.

Choose your Hero
First you must choose a personal hero; real, fictional, dead or alive. What are the qualities you look up to in this person?

If you don't have a hero you can create one based on the qualities you most admire in people or would love to possess. Such as being confident, strong, assertive or authoritative.

Step 2 Emulating your hero.
To begin with simply consider the qualities of this hero and act some out in private. Get into their mindset by assuming their posture, using their expressions and striding in the same strong manner.

Step 3 Re-enacting the past.
Consider some situations at work you think should have gone better. This may have been during a meeting or presentation, whilst on the phone or just chatting with your boss during lunch.

Next play out these scenes as your hero. How would they have acted in the same situations? What would they have said or done?

Step 4 Trying it for real.
Now you have to take on some of these characteristics. It may feel strange as you are not used to behaving this way.

See how it feels to use these qualities in reality. Ask yourself whether you were just acting as your hero or if you were uncovering hidden attributes to your own personality. You will probably discover that you are not just pretending to be your hero – but that you are, in fact, your own hero.
