dont be afraid to step in and say how u feel.. if there talking about a certian thing then join in and let them know what u think about it. dont be a wall flower and not participate in w/e they do in the weekends... u could try to stand out by doing something that they think u would nvr do. good luck!

Just be yourself around them they are your friends then you should be open to them and learn to trust a little. Hope this helped!

talk to your friends and say that your kinda feeling left out and for them to try to include you in their conversations. if thats not the problem ur having( not really sure exactly what your asking) then just tell something funny that happened to you that day! itll get everyone talking about whatever it is--rachael

well, here is a good piece of general advice, stop caring about what other people think, forget about your dignity, and have FUN! even if it means looking totally insane or retarted, people will like you for having fun.

you can open up more by taking risks and saying whats on your mind i can relate i am shy 2 especially around my friends that are good looking girls (im a guy) but whenever i think of something i want to say i just go ahead and say it so what if it is stupid.

maybe you can copy their style a bit..or get them to help you do a makeover.

even teh most beautiful people think they are not..so it could be that you are just as great as they are.

To me..they must find something really cool about you if they are hanging out wiht you.

get their advice on hair and stuff..sometimes a new style and clothes...well make a big difference.

I think you should not just be friends with one group. Try to be friends with everyone. I know you want to be with those girls which you can be. Just dont forget about your other friends.

good luck!!

Good Morning! (lol I know that is very early to answer this, but I'll give it a try). Reading your question, it caught my attention that you think your friends are better than you. And that's not how you're suppose to view your friends. So obviously you're not comfortable with them yet, and it might take you longer because you are shy. Try to take it one step at a time, because you're not used to this yet. To open up, try to listen to what they're saying and if you relate to something or know what to do about whatever they said let them know! Sitting there not saying a thing doesn't help very much and they may take it the wrong way. So try to say a little bit. You need to practice a lot to open up to people. You might need to force yourself to tell people more abouut you. Try talking to different people to, this will let you be much more confident. You need to realize that, they are very equal to you. If you see yourself as an outsider than you will have a lot more trouble being more confident and opening up. So it's important to understand yourself first. And never think less of yourself. I'm sure that they wouldn't want you to think of them as being a bigger person than you. Maybe it's the fact that they're more confident in what they do and who they are and that is what makes them seem so nice, and why guys like them, etc. You can fit in, but it's not all about talking, it's more about being confident and leting that shine through. (lol) You'll be fine! Much luck!

Love,
Mandee

be yourself! and dont be scared to be wild and hyper, and start talking to more people at your school, and if you do you will see them more, and talk to them more, so it will make you alot more outgoing with people you dont know as well
