I always shy away from social situations, even though I'm much happier when I talk to people. I've been on one date in my life (I'm 20, and she came onto me). I have a few "sort of" friends at school, but no real good friends. Why am I like this? Could it be because I always had lots of family around (cousins lived in our house til I was 10. My other cousins live 3 minutes from my house) and never needed friends to play with as a child?

Well, if you propose this as an answer yourself, there might be something about it, surely. Actually, the could be many reasons....one of them, for example....your overall attitude..i mean...you may want to have lots of friends, date, you may be happy when you talk to people...but aren't you just too afraid of failure / rejection? That's my problem..i'd be just observing somebody without guts to ask out just because the fear of how would it be if he said no was too great... I don't know if this is you rr case, but if you can associate with it a little.....i can't say anything but face it. Building up your social life when you were used to be with onyl family or on your own is always kind of hard work in the beginning, and sometimes you have to force yourself to do things you don't feel like from the beginning..but once you get used to....once you ask out a girl, no matter if she says yes or no, you'll feel comfortable the next time. it's better to know what are you on about than just wonder...wonder...wonder. Face it, face it, practise! Good luck :)
