Hi macklin,

There really isn't anything socially wrong with you (IMO). I had a similar experience like yourself, because I moved provinces and started Grade 3 at a totally new school in a totally different province.

What matters about what you've been doing socially is that you are trying.

Lacking self-confidence and winning over it takes a lot of hard work. I can honestly say that it won't happen over night. (I for example am in my 2nd year of university and am just starting on this). To improve your self-confidence is that you've got to find people that you connect with on some level. Maybe try finding a group of people that share a similar interest, but a group where you have more knowledge (or the same amount of knowledge) on a particular topic. This thrusts you into a sort of leadership role, and can help you gain some confidence.

I hope I make sense and I hope this helps some.
