Hi everyone,
I have recently been having a really hard time socialising, I feel as if I just don't understand how to meet new people and how to keep in contact with people. I only have a few friends and I hardly communicate with them outside of school. I've tried to go to different events to meet new people, but whenever I talk to someone I don't really know about how to go about asking to be their friend and I get very shy and worried about it. I've heard that many people make friends online but I'm unsure if that's a good way to make friends. Is it weird to have these troubles? I'm 17 and I feel like all of my peers have no issue with making friends, it feels like they know something about socialising that I don't know and its really making me feel horrible about myself. There are many people my age who have been in relationships but I cant even make friends, I'm so confused and I don't know what to do. Do any of you have advise on how to go about making friends or interacting with people? Is it abnormal to even be going through these problems in the first place?
