Hi, I just signed up and I think this forum looks wonderful!

Social situations make me extremely uncomfortable, especially when it's with people my own age. Is anybody else like this?

Yes! I'm extremely shy. That's one of things I'm working on right now. Like if I see a cute boy I get really shy and most likely won't talk to him. And if its like a person I don't know then I would mostly likely become shy. But like I said I'm working on it and I have gotten better but it's a slow procces. I try to communicate with people more. But its REALLY HARD. But as you do it more you will get better. And if your wondering Im a teenager. But Goodluck.

It is really hard, radioactive is correct. If I'm not mistaken this was one of Radios own thread subjects was it not?

But what you need to do is just try and try again. Always keep in mind that humans are humans no matter how hot, how tall, how strong, what sex, or what age. We are social creatures and even shy people can become more comfortable with social environments because its natural for us.

I can admit that I too shy away from bigger groups of people, just don't feel like I belong with them. In some cases this is a good thing and in extreme cases this could save your life lol. But point is, no matter who you are we all have fears, and we all fear what others think of us. Some people may say they don't care what others think but on some level they do fear the thoughts of others.

So this isn't an issue you alone face. Just be patient and try to put yourself into social situations that agree with you. Make a few friends and enjoy your life. I wish you luck :)
