I’m returning to a regular school from a virtual high school mid-semester soon and I’m really nervous since I rarely interact with other people that aren’t 20 years older than me.
I feel like when I’m nervous I can either appear too confrontational or too shy, but neither of those are very good if I want to make a good impression. Could you guys give me some advice on how to present myself better?

Accept it like a did it’s part of you and you can’t do anything about it
Act like if they were 20 years older than you
Let me tell you this, you should not carr about what other people think about you and just be your self. Yes first impressions are good but when you try to impress others you aren’t you true self. Be you that’s the best advice I can give you.
Confront the fears. Go talk to as many people as possible/ feel stupid, fail, whatever happens, keep going. Honestly everyone struggles to some extent but it’s largely imaginary. Stop worrying and thinking about yourself there is no solution at the end of that puzzle .
You can defeat shyness by equipping the Sword of Courage. Grind away at some of the smaller encounters, cashiers are low level interactions that build up confidence. Do as many side quest chance encounters as you can muster, some of them are as simple as telling someone you like their shoes. That EXP adds up eventually! You’ll take it down in no time.
Workout hardcore. It’ll train your vagus nerve, also take a slap cold shower for like 5 minutes. You’ll thank me later . .. see for yourself
