Not socializing like I want to be.


Question Posted Tuesday August 11 2009, 7:53 am

18/F just out of highschool. well, I've avoided social situations for the last few years. The only time I embraced them was when I had a "best friend" and felt good about myself. Now, I practically pray no one invites me anywhere. Like, if someone puts me on the guest list for a birthday party...I'll make up an excuse of why I can't go. Also, one reason I'm really insecure about hanging out in public is because I don't dance well. It sounds silly, but the people I would be hanging out with if I got over this anxiety would be getting jiggy with it and I'd just sit there and be uncomfortable! Help!

& I'm starting college in two weeks and looking for a fresh start. Believe me, I'm very friendly and have many people talking to me throughout the day, but I always push them away..

girrl i used to be like you but girrl you know you could do so much things in life. friends come and go you dont really need to be popular to be confident about yourself. you just need to go out there try new things and if you like them then do other daring things you wouldnt quite do. if you want to meet new people conversate and ask them a simple question like "where are you from" i know chessy right but you'll work your way around it and be more confient in yourself.

I used to have the same problem. I cared so much what people thought about me.. I pushed them away. People actually told me I came across as stuck up since I was so shy.. which I am not at all. Girl, you just need to act confident.. even if your not just pretend and eventually it will come with time. WIth the dancing.. go in your room and dance in the mirror. It sounds dumb.. but when you get out there you'll feel less stupid. You just need to take baby steps each day and push yourself to do things you've never thought you can do before. Because you can do anything you set your mind to. :]
