I (15f) and i have struggled to be social and keep convos going my whole life. I hate when this happens because its not like i have a bad persoanlity, it just that i stuggle to find a topic to talk with some one.
My friend (15f) that i mention in the title is a very very social person. She can strike up a convosation with everyone. I feel bad whenever she leaves me to go talk with someone else, so then i have to stare at the wall i pretend im looking at my reflection.
I managaed to strike up a convosation with 2 different people today ( granted that it lasted 45 seconds each but hey its something right?) and im not proud of this but during those two times i left her alone BECAUSE i wanted her to know how it felt.
And i guess it worked because while i was talking to person 1 she said my name and she pointed to the space in front of her and said "come talk to me" obviously ignore her because im not a dog and continued to talk to person 1. And then we were sitting in class and my friend looked at me and said " i dont like it when you talk to other people" ( possesive much???) i said huh and she said nothing.
I cant keep letting this happen. I need to be able to make more friends so i wont have to depend on my friend to keep me company.
