Problem with socializing?
Question:
Answers:
It sounds like self-esteem or confidence issues. Are you concerned what they might think of your questions? Do you think they will find them trivial or stupid? Sometimes people don't want to express themselves because they don't want to have to defend thier position or inquiry. Just a thought, I know that's true for me a lot of times. The only solution is to speak up. Most of the time it's just built up in our head, but it's really nothing in reality.
depression, and or lack of good sleep and nutrients. alot of recent studies show that certain foods can change moods so research it some and try those foods plus tryin get more sleep. if all else fails go to a phyc
I have the same problem, you have to increase your self confidence and encourage yourself to speak with what you want, practice with your friends whenever you have the chance to do that.
It could be that you're afraid what you say will sound silly or uninformed and you'll be laughed at. Trust yourself to say the right thing. Know that there really are no stupid questions, and you'll learn something new when you ask. It's just a matter of gaining confidence in yourself and learning to be comfortable speaking to others. Good luck!
Possibily a social anxiety disorder, i would talk to your doc if i were you.
I think a LOT of people have this problem, more than you know. I know I do. It's a kind of social phobia.
When I am around my family, I can speak freely, but when I am around strangers or people I might feel would judge me somehow, I either do not speak up and remain quiet, or I say something and it comes out sounding so silly and stupid.
Well you probably are making sure you don't say the wrong thing. Don't act nervous, first things first, because people will think that is a little strange.
My sister is exactly like you. What I did id when she knew she was going to meet someone new, I'd go with her and introduce her. Me being extremely outgoing, Would get a conversation started including my sister, then I would just quietly fall away. With my sister watching me, she learned how to start a conversation and re-word questions she didn't want to ask.
Do you have a friend or family member who is outgoing? Take them with you when you know you'll be meeting new people and watch how they begin conversation. Then you can take from what you learned how to just speak up and you'll have a lot of friends, good luck!!
