I'm a very shy girl. I mean, I'm 15 (turning 16 on oct. 31st) and I've only ever had to boyfriends, one in 6th grade one in 7th grade (lasted 4 days, lasted a month). Now that I'm older I get extremely shy around guys. Well, not all guys, but alot of the guys my best friend is friends with that we hang out with. I have trouble talking to them because I'm scared I'll look dumb, so basically when I go out with my friend I stay quiet all the time and say nothing. That happens also with some other friends and around some other guys. Usually when I'm nervous like this I sweat ALOT. Anyway, then there are some guys I'm around I can act perfectly normal around. I don't know why I act different. I mean, it's not many. I have like 2 guy friends because I get so funky. But I can actually CHAT with some guys sometimes without freaking out. I don't know why I'm abnormal like this but it's bugging me because I really want to start dating.
Even though that hardly made any sense I'll attempt for someone to answer what's wrong with me that I act this way and how can I fix it!?!
