All you have to do is find it. I can already tell your selfesteem isnt that high so you are quiet and think about what your gonna say way too much. Say the first thing that come to mind when around them I know its hard but if they act like your stupid laugh with them as if you don't care if they laugh at what you said, laugh it off and follow that with another covo subject. Relax and be yourself.

ALWAYS BE YOURSELF. dnt EVER change for a group of people just because they are cool or popular. chances are, if they are not going to accept you for who you are then they arent much of friends. you will find friends that like you for who you are. dnt worry. they will come.

daisysmiles answered Tuesday December 12 2006, 7:48 pm: When your with that group you were talkin about, you should just kinda follow their conversations first. Like if some girl says that a guy is hot or whatever you could be like, yeah he's hot but really shallow or something. You talk about guys, you'll have thier attention. As you get more comfortable with them, you can just start your own conversations, speak up and talk about something the other people seem to care about.

girlmeetsboy answered Tuesday December 12 2006, 7:22 pm: i am in the same problem now a little, but im getting through it a little better.
all i do is like be loud and funny. making them laugh is the key.. like nonstop. tell them things that happened last night like there was a bug on my wall or i dont that was a bad example but just keep talking. im not gunna say just dont be shy, cause thats not something you can just do.. but try to feel comfortable around your friends.. cause like theyre your friends.
if you arent happy with the people you are in a group with now, then find some other people you can hang with. you can stay with them but find other people besides them.
i know this sounds like conceided, but like make them give you attention.. i dont know how to explain that but you can find a way.
i know this is a tough time.. i feel the same way so don't feel alone. i really hope i helped. i dont really know much to say since i am in the same position as you.
