Are you close to your friends?

Okay, so all of us have at least one friend. But, do you ever feel like you're not as close to your friends as you'd like to be? Like you still feel kind of awkward when you're around them, and still feel shy around them? Like I have a few close friends, and one bff. And most of them I've known for years. But only with my bff do I not feel awkward with when we hang out one on one. With the rest of my friends I mostly see them at school, when we're in groups. But when I try to hang out one on one, it still feels awkward and I usually am stressing out trying to make sure they're not bored when they come to my house. Even, when I throw a party I seem to not feel confident in my ability to be an entertaining host and feel like my friendships aren't that strong.
Do you ever feel this way? Do you think this is normal to feel with some friends?

Don't worry and especially don't think that you are a bad host and things like that. Be more confident! The time will show which people around you are real friends. Some of them will go away withou this being you fault. But some will stay with you. Try to know them better and take it easy. I wish you all the best!

Yea, I'm trying to be more self-confident. =D It's kind of hard though, because it's something you have to accomplish and believe yourself. I hope to one day be a lot more confident in myself. :D Because confident people really rule the world and have a great life. :) And thx I will!

Sure that's normal. I think just because you're friends with them doesn't mean you have to be very comfortable with them. I also have that kind of feeling whenever I'm with one of my friends. Although it's fine with me to hang out with only one, it still feels awkward. Maybe we just got used to the idea that they're the whole package you know? We're just used to hanging out with all of them at the same time not one by one. Don't worry, it's just okay I think. I don't think that means your friendship with them is weak or something.

Yes, there are some of my friends, I can not feel unrestrained with them. I think maybe because we are not the really good friend, just the common ones. However, of course, I have a few friends, whom we share everything (almost)with, they just have become my family members.
