I am really bad at making new friends.help!?
Social anxiety is a common problem. Whatever you do, don't hide away from people or from life because you'll miss out on so much. And remember that people are just people --- no big deal. When you're speaking to someone, concentrate on what you want to say and not on their facial reactions. All the best.
How To Make Friends At A College Party?
I'm going to Chico for labor day this weekend, and my friends really popular so we'll be going to a lot of college parties. I'm from a small town so I rarely go to party's and when I do I feel out of place and kind of insecure. Is there anyway to make myself feel more comfortable or any advice you can give me before I go? thanks.
First day at new school and no friends,help?
Today was the first day at my new high school. It's really huge and there's a lot of people. Problem is, I have no friends. I am so lonely and it basically made the first day the worst for me. I felt like crying. I even lied to my mother and told her I had a great day and met some new friends. I didn't. I hate it. I miss my old friends and my old school. And you know what sucks? Today was only the first day. im going into 10th grade...
Can i convert myself from introvert to extrovert?
I am 15 and i am quite shy. i have a small group of friends at school but i don't see them out of school and i don't know any guys either. I find it hard to make new friends and start talking to people, and when i do, i usually chose people who aren't "cool", so i feel less intimidated. Sometimes when people i don't know talk to me i go red and don't know what to say. I have also never been to party and have never been in a relationship. I am trying to be more outgoing and extrovert like, but i wish i had just always been like that. One of those people who goes up and hugs people, sings when they hear songs they know, shouts out "LOVE YA" when they leave their friends, has hour conversations on the phone every night. how can i gradually be one of these people? PS i'm 15
I feel lonely, but I don't want to make friends. Why?
I’ll speak for myself here, even though the question is about you.Question: I feel lonely, but I don't want to make friends. Why?My experiences with people haven’t been overly positive. I find that I don’t have a lot in common with the people I meet. I don’t share their values, or their sense of humour, or their tastes in music. However, interacting with people did prove essential for my mental health.My first successful solution at this was social dancing — Argentine Tango specifically. I got to interact with people, and dance with women, but I didn’t have to feign interest in their lives or tell them about mine. After 4 years though people had become too friendly and I couldn’t handle the stress of it so I dropped tango. But I now knew what I needed - a niche social group that I can drop in on at regular intervals. So now, every fortnight, I hang out with some science-fiction & fantasy fans. Yes, I’ll never be invited to birthday drinks or something with any of them because of my distant personality, but I get along fine with them and them with me as long as we talk about geeky things. This has proven so far to be a good balance — and if the conversation turns to something else, I don’t fear being mute and listening along.
