Felt so awful. I went with a group of people two of whom I know and are my friends something I've longed for the perfect friends who are like me.
There was 8 of us and I've always been terrible at talking. I'm the quiet one always have been and that's just who I am I can't suddenly break into someone loud. I'm okay talking to a couple at once but I also didn't know what to talk about as they were talking about things they all knew about and that I didn't. So I felt awkward.
What also makes it awkward is I never know what to say even though I want to push myself and talk. I could make some great friends here but I've no idea how to do it. I've never had a boyfriend and that makes me self conscious as they have nearly all got partners and I'm not sure who is going to want me like this.
It's like the words won't come out I'm worried what they will think.
I can't let lose if you get me.

And I know my parents worry about me

    If they're such good friends what's stopping you from talking quietly (not in a noisy pub) to one or two of them and telling them how you feel? It would also be helpful if you stopped focussing on yourself so much, listen to what other people are saying, take an interest in them and speak when something interests you or you don't understand what's being talked about.

    Alternatively, maybe you're just not suited to being out with a large group of people in that environment?

    Some people will really love your quietness.

    Are you the same poster from before? If so, congrats on just going. That's a huge step and something to be proud of. Now just keep going and pretty soon you will have lots in common and things to talk about due to shared expriences.

    Did I say how proud I am of you 😊
