I can relate. I am an EXTREMELY shy person. Many people are.
Don't try to come out of your shelf all at once and act crazy. That's not the way to go. Take small steps. Ask if you can tag along when your friends go to social event (movie outings, ect.) with their other friends.
Trying safe chat rooms where your personal information is kept confidential or not even asked for is also a good way. A few safe sites have chat rooms for "newbies" where you can meet new people.
Even if its hard, try to be a little outgoing once in a while.
And, most importantly, try not to obsess over what people think of you. I realize self-image is out of control these days and that it is all the "in" crowd cares about. Try and surround yourself with people who will love you no matter who you are and what you act like. Be yourself!
Eh, you can even e-mail me if you want for starters.
I hope this helps! Good luck! =3

I have never really tried to make friends. I guess they happen along the way. I do know that I would never worry what other people think of me, I have decided I am not here to please other people, and am certainly not going to lose any sleep over what they think of me. Life is too short to stress yourself over what they think, enjoy life, and friends and love will happen along the way.

It's really hard to say. You may just be going through normal things or you may be suffering from some sort of anxiety. Talk with your doctor about it, maybe even a therapist.

high school,huh? you`ll prolly be like that forever,but you`ll learn how to adapt in environments that you feel more confident in...took me awhile too, but you may also care less what most people think as you mature and find your niche in the world
