One thing to remember when you are out with people, everyone loves to be listened to! So don't worry about not having anything to say, just be a good listener. People will think you are really nice, and you might learn something you didn't know. To feel like you are really participating all you have to do is rephrase some of what someone has already said to you. Being a good listener takes a lot of pressure off a person in social situations. And there are always plenty of people who love to talk, so us listeners are very necessary.

Yes someone will love you just as you are, but you have to be looking for that kind of person. And you have to accept and love yourself as you are, if you don't know how to do that you will miss people who are giving that gift to you. When we are too judgemental with ourselves we often believe that everyone else is judging us the same way. Very often we are wrong.
