Why do I have trouble hanging out with friends

try to be more subtle on the way you speak to them when you think that it might offend them or so.

Being a good listener is a fine quality, however, if you want to be a part of the conversation you have to get over your shyness. Your friends would not be your friends if you all didn't have something in common. If you don't want to talk about your personal self with your friends, find something that is neutral to talk about until you feel comfortable and trusting of your friends. If they are your true friends, they will understand that you are shy and don't have a lot to say, not because you don't find what the conversation is about, boring. Take one step at a time and soon you will find yourself in the middle of the conversation voicing your opinion.

Hi, You have to make the first approach in order to make new friends. Since you are a quiet person,then it is hard for you to get along well with your school mate,unless they approach you first. Don't be shy...just brave yourself to say "hi" to them and give a smile, start a small conversation and slowly you will be able to get along well with your school mates. Never have the feeling of scare to talk in front of your friends.As long as you control your words and attitude,it should not be a problem to mix around with your school mates.

hi, I think you have stage fear, it is so simple to over come this issue. 1. Think your friends as your family members like your dad mom you will be able to speak to them without any inhibitions. 2.Talk to yourself standing in front of a mirror and practice. 3. Keep it in mind you have to participate at least 3 times in 15 minutes slowly you will be able to keep talking to them. Happy Living Calpro

I am a person like you.Getting along well with others is very difficult to me.But I think if I treat them by my heart,it will be more earily.
