So in my flat theres a lot of us, and I've noticed that I'm becoming more and more withdrawn.
Like its partly due to assignments, but I just am finding it real hard to go out of my door and speak to my housemates atm.
Don't get me wrong, we all get on, but I'm just super shy. I feel vulnerable in the kitchen and am desperate to retreat back to my room again.
Also I feel the need to impress and stuff. Plus some of them go off in their own cliques and the first time this happened it made me feel left out.
So that's when this all kicked off as I felt like my company wasn't wanted, and never will be.
How can I help myself? (link)

It's easy to feel left out and vulnerable but you have to remember that in order to make friends you have to make an effort. Talk to your housemates on occasion, ask if they would like to go out for a meal. You need to step outside your comfort zone and socialize with people it may be uncomfortable at first but when your housemates see you making an effort they will reciprocate and you will feel a lot better and this also works outside of your home in a school setting or work etc. Making friends is really not that hard you just have to put yourself out there.

'Put yourself out there' isn't the best advice to give to a naturally shy person-like then I wouldn't be true to myself...but I like the meal idea.
