I don't know how to be social...


Question Posted Sunday August 12 2007, 2:19 pm

I've been kind of antisocial for a while and part of me is fine with it but the other part really wants it to stop.It's like sometimes I really want to talk to people and be around them and other times that's the last thing that I want.I'm afraid of looking stupid,afraid of people not liking me,thinking that if I go out with people I'm missing a chance to do something else,I think that when people want to hang out they're just saying that because they feel sorry for me...a whole bunch of things.

In the rare case that i AM in a voluntary social situation(forced ones are just a mess that i won't even get into),I really want to mingle and have fun but I just don't know what to do...can't think of things to say,don't know how to act,I just feel like everyone around me doesn't want to have anything to do with me or they're more interested in their other friends.

Could someone please tell me what I can do to just be a normal teenager instead of wasting all of my time alone?

be your self.
if you have REAL friends,
you wont care about sounding stupid.
I think some of it is your self esteem.
Dont over think what your going to say.
That just makes things worse.
Just talk, usually when you dont plan your
words out, it comes out smoother and better.
