I need help with my English communication skils?

ok I have discovered that I am very shy when speaking English in front of native english speakers. I need to know what to do. I assume would be the same for a english speaker being around native Spanish speakers. This is ruining my career choices and even my school courses as I was just doing a group project and I was mute the whole deal. I need help, should i get a psychologist?. I really really feel out of place (like If I were from Mars and I am around people of a different world so I get really really insecure and do not talk AT ALL, not even a single world). In contrast, in Spanish I become a leader in a second when I am in front of big crowds/group and very outspoken and confident

Answer:
If you speak English as well as you write it, you will do quite well conversing with others. Your writing is superior to 90% of those on FunQA.com whose native language is English. The others who have already responded to your questions provided excellent advice, especially the suggestion to participate in Toastmasters International. Check out its web site at: http://www.toastmasters.org/

Best wishes.

the only thing i can suggest is that you practice, such as in front of a group of friends. you will eventually get some confidence to speak in front of others

Sounds like its only a matter of confidence. A psychologist would only give you strategies to use and make you practice them, then come back and talk about it for $200 an hour. I say just practice yourself. At restaurants, special events, any public place. Try to make conversation with people you don't know and probably won't ever see again. You may find books on this. I know there are support groups like Toastmasters for people who are shy in front of large groups. Maybe ask your local librarian for some material on this topic. Good Luck!
