I'm really struggling with shyness whenever I'm around girls. Even a simple touch makes me feel like there's an electric current running through me, and it's been like this since I was in Class 4, not just starting from 9th grade. I went to a coed school from LKG, so it's not like I haven't been around girls. It's complicated because Ive always been quite poor with academics, but I'm super active in sports. Do you think this shyness could be some sort of psychic issue?

I'm really struggling with a bad habit of hand practice and just don't know how to stop. Every time I feel weak and tell myself I'll quit, I find myself right back at it once I start feeling better. It's like I can't control the urge no matter how hard I try, and I'm just exhausted from failing over and over. There are lots of triggers depending on the situation, and I really could use some help figuring out how to manage this. Any advice on what I can do?
