Question Posted Friday July 4 2008, 10:33 pm

I'm a thirteen year old girl and in eighth grade. I like myself, and I have lots of friends. (I even work out and try to eat right to make myself feel good.) But sometimes I get really low self-esteem, and I get red in the face or quiet when I'm around people, even ones that I like! I have some trouble talking to people, and sometimes they take this as hostility. (I speak flatly and have a hard time laughing) A few days ago, a girl thought that I didn't like her just because I said something that sounded mean, but I didn't mean it that way, and I really think that this girl is awesome!!!
How can I open up to people, be more friendly, and feel better about myself?

I'm the same way, particularly around large (5+) groups of people. If you do better with 1-2 people, then why don't you try having 1-2 people come over for a sleep over or a play date or a movie so they can get to know you better. Once many people know you better, you will get more comfortable in the group as a whole over time. The more practice you have interacting with people, the easier it will be. Start small.

Kittzen ready to help,
Listen i know what your going throu i went through the same thing till my ex dumped me after three months. you need to come out of your bubble you need to relize that not everone's going to like you. to do this try just beging your self the thoughts that cross your mind just say them if their not tattaly mean and harsh. and if your friend takes it that your beging mean just explane to her she'll understand.
try just beging yourself and not caring waht other people think about you i know it's hard but you just got to do it.
Best wishes on your problem,
Kittzen
