I've been playing softball for a really long time. (Since like first grade maybe? I don't remember) Now I'm in 8th. Well, I don't really know if I want to play anymore. I'm really shy, and usually I get stuck with people I either don't really like from my school, or people I don't know from the other middle school. So it's hard for me to communicate with them and make friends on the team. Also, the past year that I played softball, a lot of the boys showed up to the games, because the more "popular" people play. And it's embarrassing, especially since the boy I like came a lot too. And I'm definitely not the best player. My crush is obsessed with baseball, and he is really good, so if I quit, that might make him think differently of me? Maybe? Idk. But also, it's the only sport I actually LIKE, so if i quit, I wouldn't get as much exercise and go out after school. I don't know if I should continue playing or not. It just wasn't an enjoyable year for me, I mean i love playing the sport for fun, like with my friends and at home, but on a team, I just didn't like it. So should I quit or not? And also, what are some other sports I might want to try, if I do decide to quit? (Just so you know, i already tried soccer, and HATED it) Thanks so much, sorry it was so long!

I definitely think you should stay in softball because you've always been doing it, and switching sports it might be harder to gain friends & what have you. This happened to me, I was in baton but quit because my best friend was in flags, and I wanted to hang out with her - which was stupid. & I ended up quitting flags & having to wait until next year to join again. =[ You might regret it in the future, but I really don't think you should switch sports, because you've been doing softball for 7 years and you're probably really good at it. If you're really uncomfortable and think you should quit, then maybe join another sport, like tennis, volleyball, or basketball. Those are probably one of the sports I would go for!!
