Too shy! ugh hate it.

[Jess]

I hate being shy and not social. I don't have any friends, I haven't been to any party since 6th grade - I never get invited - no one ever asks me to a dance, no one ever asks me to hang out at their house etc etc. Not only that, a lot of times I also end up working alone on projects or assignments/activites

and I never want to be the one that starts the conversation.

joining clubs doesn't work either, I still don't talk a lot.

why do I have to be so shy and quiet?

:l

I know exactly where you are coming from. I am also shy. I sometimes have to work alone on stuff. Some times I prefer it cuz I do a better job and less distractions. Any way you just have to come out of your shell. I have been becomeing less shy by talking more and letting people hear my opinion on things and stuff. Also maybe talking to one good friend alot can help you with that. You have to let everyone know you are there. Just be yourself and become more out going and you will become less shy. Hope this helps :)

You need to be more social in situations that you're forced to be around people regularly, I realise it's a pretty ridiculous thing to say considering you're concerned about social interaction but it's the easiest way to gain self confidence and a group of friends to start yourself off. If there's someone that you're already sort of friendly with then try and take that further, talk to them more often, about different things then you do currently. Try and talk to new people that you haven't spoken to before, even just a few sentences to say that you're in the room - talk about work, movies, memes, music, mutual friends, teachers etc. anything that you might have in common.

how can I talk more often if I don't talk a lot? :l

and sometimes when I talk people don't understand me. -_-

I really can relate here. I just switched schools this ye, and have yet to really make any real friends. Any time someone tasks to , I'll usually respond with some answer that will either have nothing to do with what they were saying, or something that just completely ends the conversation. I never can start conversations either. And even during the few times I will people will just ignore me our won't understand what i'm saying. I know exactly how you feel here.

Even here I don't really think I have anyone I can call a real friend. Everyone else seems to just be able to start talking with someone, and everything will just work out. Not me. I never even make the notion I want to be someone's friend, whether it be he, our in my life. I just can't ever seem to take that first step.

get a sense of humour. I was never quiet...but once I started saying really random funny things around people it became easier to hang with several groups.

Just be yourself and don't care what other people think. You be doing something right if those sluts are paying attention to you . But high school is dumb anyway ,and you won't even see most of the people afterwards.

Story of my life.

[Surferchic2362]

I was extremely shy. I never made new friends, I was never included, I would say something and would get looked at like I was dumb just to have someone else say the same thing and get acknowledged. You just need to find a way to fit in. We are young and young people tend stick to thweir cliks who they act alike.

Jess, will you go to the VirtualTeen dance with me? :S
