Answer #1

Yeah. I hate groups. It’s awkward and I feel like I dont say much. I’ve learned to relax a little. You’re in your head so much that you feel anxious and tense, and so it’s harder for people to talk to you. Wait for an opening in the conversation and then join in. If it’s a larger group, I like to pair off. Just talk to one person. In parties and things like that, rotate. Find different people to chit chat with. And at times, it’s ok to just sit and watch what people are doing. If you need to take a break, take a break. I’ll read for a few minutes just to mentally relax. Mostly, you need to stop worrying so much about what people are thinking about you. People are too self absorbed to be thinking about you. And listen. People like others who are interested in them and like to listen. If you’re quiet, that means you’ve got good practice listening. So just listen. Ask questions. You’ll be fine. Oh and see if you cant get a hold of the introvert advantage. Great book! It really helped me.

Answer #5

it’s easier said than done. to be honest I am almost just realizing that the friends I have been “friends” with aren’t always easy to communicate with and that’s tough and when I made new friends it was like a completely different life (sorta) but it was different. just keep in mind that if they don’t give you something to talk about or they don’t even talk to you, they might not even acknowledge the fact that you are there (mentally not physically) so just don’t try too hard and I wouldn’t always hang around them because they may think your a tagalong but if that’s not the case then being shy around your friends is basically being shy around a stranger. try and talk to new people hope I helped a little and if you need more help just ask me (:
