i'd like to know peoples ideas on this one.. im 24 and similar.. the only difference is i'm fine being on my own but i want more friends.. but have issues feeling comfortable around strangers..
i don't particularily like people that BS just to get conversation going i can usually tell it for what it is and i generally lose interest in the person as they strike me as liars/fakes..
hmm.. so how can you ease into social situations?
one tip for you though ice.. its okay to go into a social surrounding and just enjoy your own company.. someone will come to talk to you eventually.. if not today perhaps tomorrow.. just make it a habit to be there the same time ^_^
theres a girl at my work that barely says anything unless she wants to know something.. and yet instead of seeing her as weird i see her as intriguing and wonder why she doesn't feel the pressure to be overtly friendly like everyone else.. so it could also be our low self esteem that makes us look at our introverted nature negatively... its okay to be yourself
