When you're quiet and shy and introverted?
How to make friends when you're quiet and introverted?
I'm in high school and kind of want to get integrated with another group of friends and I know they like me because I'm always nice to them and sometimes get them gifts for their birthdays and holidays but the thing is I am very shy, social anxiety disorder even I think. I think sitting at lunch might help, but the thing is while they like me enough I don't know if because I barely ever talk and I'm shy that they'd ever invite me to do anything with them. Honestly, I'm kind of a boring person (that doesn't bother me at all by the way), I don't have a lot to say, and I don't really want to, but I love just being around them and listening to their conversations, because I really like them, but I worry sometimes they think I don't like them because I don't talk much and they might take shyness/avoidance as unfriendliness. Thats why I buy gifts sometimes. I like buying them anyway, it makes me feel good. I used to have facebook (myspace) to talk them a little more but I got rid of it, couldn't take the stress, and did it without telling them, so I worry that I lost a link to them.
