Okay is it normal for an adult female,(okay she's not a mature adult like in her 40s , but kinda in her late twenties /early thirties ) to STILL be socially awkward and have social anxiety (especially during social activities ) ?
Like is being socially awkward when you are an adult a normal thing ?
I personally wouldn't know but I wouldn't be surprised. Adults are really just kids with more money and life experience. Having a low self esteem can lead to anti-social behavior. Low self esteems aren't exclusively for teens and children. I suggest that you help her out and try to build her confidence. Help her get her groove back.
Pharmaceuticals is your answer, there is no need to live the life of an introvert, go see a psychologist, have a few visits, explain your issues, get hooked up and live life on the edge.
That or die unhappy and alone.
I mean, does the person in question want to be more social? Unless this is a classic case where asking about a friend is really asking about yourself, are you sure that your friend just isn't introverted? Some people are engergized by hanging out with people, it drains others. Unless she's asked for help, maybe don't harass your friend about it? Of course, if you're asking about yourself really, and you're clearly not happy about it, then I would say some sort of coaching perhaps, like bugsforbreakfast said? If it helps, just remember that the people you are interacting with awkwardly and that are causing you so much distress are at least as goofy and foolish as you. More so, because they don't even seem to have the good sense to be aware of their foolishness. If you develop, or at least project a healthy 'so what' attitude, you will find yourself at least acting more confident, which can pass for not awkward most days.
If you're awkward growing up, you may always remain awkward. That's life. It's nothing to be worried over. She will find a way to talk to others that suits her in her own time. Until then, she shouldn't sweat it.
