Hi erm well ive always been quite quiet and never really been able to get on with big groups of people. I don't mean as in i don't like them i mean like i can't join in when theres for than 3 or 4 of them. I've really tried to change these past 6 months and i have done abit but i need some advice on how to join in more. I don't go out a lot and am quite different from others and soemtimes i just don't know how to join in and when i try to join in on a converstation they laugh because i don't say the right things or they don't come out in the same way. So i really need help with that and also i really need advice on how to stop taking things so seriously like when people say things in a joking way i take it all to seriously. So yeah please help me i have some really good friends and i don't want to mess it up but because of this i feelso uncomfortable around them and weiry of every move i make and everything i say.

O Connor agony aunthey chicken, well its normal to feel like that when your with your peers, but you just have to love yourself and value wat you have to share, once you do others will. as for joining in more, why not suggest having a party or something in your house? invite a small enough group of ppl and get to know them. if you have it in yours, then you will feel a little more comfortable as you will be in your own surroundings and will be familiar with the location you know? get in some fun food, dvd's and games if you want, and if you want also, try and suggest that your parents either go out or stay upstairs or something - we all know how uncomfortable parents can make us in front of our friends!!! dont worry, im sure you are a lovely person and have friends who adore you anyway!! good luck hun, if you want more advice email me xxx
