Is it normal to feel worried about what people think about you ?

As a college student I go to parties and meet a lot of new people. I just feel like I have to try to make friends. I often worry about what my first impression is to almost everyone I hangout with the first couple of times and dont really open up 100%. I worry about what and how I say things while Im in a conversation and then rerun it in my head and analyze it after its over.

    Normal.
    You can't go wrong by showing interest in what other people have to say (people LOVE to talk about themselves - except extreme introverts), as opposed to being worried that what you are saying is not well received. Making it all about them will take the focus off of you.

      This is quite good advice. Take the pressure off yourself, and open other people up! You'll make lots of friends. Really thoughtful.

    This is completely normal babe, I feel I can't always be honest with people either, well, cause I have trust-issues, but it's hard to trust people, but like my best friend tells me, you gotta' try to give everyone the benefit of a doubt.

    You are a "Child of GOD" repeat this in your mind and meet your friends... It travels to your friends mind what yoru are thinking and They Give you Respect. Because you Think you are a Child. And Children of God are Highly respected becoz they Dont commit sin and they are Unique Comparing with world They are totally different.. Iam One of them. I Believe in Lord Jesus Christ My Saviour.
