how do I overcome my shyness when im with my boyfriend and his fri

I am so terribly shy and the guy who I have known for about 4 years now (and dated for 2 months 2 years ago) asked me out this morning and I said yea, so we’re dating now and its all very exciting and everything… but a little bit before that he also asked me if I wanted to come over this weekend and hang out with him and his friends because his guyfriends are bringing their girlfriends too, and I said yes to that as well. he is important to me and I want his friends to approve of me and all that good stuff ya know… I mean, I want to fit into his life. earlier I was excited about his inviting me because the friends that he generally has me with him to hang out with are people that I know or that I at least was acquainted with from high school (I graduated 2 years ago). but I dont know who he’s inviting over this weekend. im assuming I know at least one of the guys he’s invited, as the two are close friends and I’ve met most if not all of his CLOSE friends. but oh man I am NERVOUS! I dont want to be a wallflower, the awkward shy girl, ya know? but I dont know if I am going to be able to interact with these guys, the people hes having over are typically interested in hunting, mudding, trucks, paintball, and videogames and I know NOTHING about ANY of those subjects. and I think they know eachother so how am I supposed to talk to people who are too busy talking to eachother to notice me. thats what im afraid of. what if theyre all talkin to each other havin a good time an just barely notice the quiet girl sitting there staring at everyone. ahhh! I have real anxiety in social situations I really do its awful please help me out here. how do I be more social? what on the earth do I talk to these people about??

Answer #1

just stay with your boyfriend. always be holding his hand/having your arm around his waist. well not always but be near him because chances are that if its his house he will be the center of attention and he will introduce you to new people and once you start meeting the people and talking to them the nervousness goes away. it will be all good. dont worry (: and if your lucky maybe you and him will find a closet somewhere and you wont have to worry about meeting people :P
