I need alot of answers. I'm introverted and need help!!!?

Question

i'm a very introverted person. i have a very small group of friends. I dislike many people just because they annoy me (even when most other people think they are the nicest person ever). At school, most people describe me as quiet. I'm not stuck up. I'm just very quiet. I avoid talking to people other than my very best friends. I have a very difficult time speaking to people I don't know. It takes me forever to open up to people (usually years). I'm only in the 6th grade and as I get older it's getting worse. Does anyone out there have some advice for me. I honestly am not stuck up, I just have a difficult time talking to people. I'd much rather just be alone with my thoughts.

I have many 'aquaintances', but I consider none of them friends. For me to consider someone a friend, I must actually open up to them. That seldom happens. I am a very untrusting person. I don't trust people easily. Outsie my immediate family, I probably only trust 2 people. One is at school. She's extremely extroverted which is quite annoying, but I can tell her anything. The other is my cousin and she lives very far away. I see her about once a year. You probably get the point.

I also dislike large crowds. I HATE pep rallies. I never go to school dances. I avoid parties at all cost. I dislike doing things in front of other people, such as dancing, so in large crowds I'm way out of my comfort zone.

Answer 2

I was the same way as you are in high school. Had 2-3 friends and that was it. I did not enjoy functions, don't like large crowds. There really is nothing wrong with being introverted, although some people will think you either stuck up or anti-social. I still to this day am a "loner" so to speak. I will go to functions, but wont be forced by friends to go to one that I think I will not enjoy. I speak to people, visit with neighbors once in awhile, but prefer to be alone. I like it like this, and this may be what is best for you too. I am married , have kids, a good job and a happy life without a lot of people or social activities.

Answer 3

Is this just how you feel or do you feel anxious around others? Do you have high anxiety, or panic attacks? Such as, when you're around large crowds or other people, you feel as if they are watching you, or you have a hard time breathing, or your face gets hot and you feel like you could cry? If so, you should see someone about this. They have medicine for that. I have to take citalopram, generic for zennex. It helps alot. I hope things get better for you. I feel like you're missing out on some good relationships you could be making, and not to mention all the fun of being a teen. Good luck hun.

Answer 4

First of all how great it is for you to know that you are introverted, that is the first step, I am also the same but at 24 am just truly embracing and seeing that it is Okay to be introverted, only 25% of people our, which can lead us to feel pretty left out, but we have so many great qualities, we are deep thinkers, we usually think before we act, intelligent, caring, etc....One book I would Highly recommend The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World (Paperback)
by Marti Olsen Laney (Author) It teaches you to learn how to appreciate yourself, yet how to manage with all those extroverts!

Answer 5

Don't get to down on yourself, When I was in middle school I was the same way. People thought I was a FREAK! I had only about 3 or 4 best friends that I hanged out with. But now in high school I talk to everybody. Just give it a little time, and try to open up a little to your peers or even your teachers.

But don't give up!

Answer 6

I was the same way growing up. I was to myself and I only hung out with a few friends. There isn't anything worong with that. If you want to change then you should try joining a sports team, band, a play, Choir, something that you enjoy doing but will force you to interact with other people you may not normally talk to. It may help you open up and do new things. Good luck.

Answer 7

That can be a good thing and a bad thing. Try smiling more. You don't have to open up to just anyone at first. Show people that you greating is warm and welcoming. I know smiling sometimes is hard for even me. Give it a try. Now dont look like a dork doing it! lol Good Luck

Answer 8

The fact that you are realizing this and talking about it here shows that you are not too badly introverted. You are only in the 6th grade. Don't worry about it. I don't think I was particularly talkative in elementary school.

Plus, nothing wrong with being quiet.

Answer 9

right now you just have a very small comfort zone of things you're willing to do and people you're willing to talk to. but if you want to be socially well adjusted when you go to high school, college, work, etc., you have to know how to talk and deal with people. every week or month, make it a point to do something outside your comfort zone like talk to someone or go somewhere you normally wouldn't and break yourself in slowly to the idea of dealing with people.

Answer 10

Ok ok ok. Well um... wait I got it!!! You need to throw something together, if you know what I mean, I'm in sixth grade and I love to get together and maybe throw a party at a seniors' home. It's fun and it makes people think you're not quiet and not STUCK-UP. Do it!!!
