I'm so sorry you're going through all of this, golden_eve! I completely understand what you mean! I don't like big groups as well! I completely agree with what all the other wonderful people on this thread have already wisely said better than I ever could! You've been given lots of great, wonderful advice on this thread! I'd suggest to follow it as much as you can if you want to! I completely agree with what divine1966 has already wisely said better than I ever could! I believe nobody really expects you to befriend ALL of the people in that group! I believe it just doesn't work that way, at least in my own experience! However, you CAN try to find at least one or two people that you'll like chatting with a bit more than the others! I'm sure you'll be able to find them and I'm really happy that you've already found one! I'd suggest to just stick to her and maybe one or two people and I'm SURE that you'll feel much more comfortable staying with them and chatting with most of them! I promise you that! If there are any people that you don't like in that group or that make you feel uncomfortable, just try to avoid them as much altogether as much as you can or perhaps just try to be polite to them but try not to engage too much with them! Do you believe that woman truly doesn't like you or is it just a feeling you're having? Perhaps you coul try to think about all of this if you want! If you're STILL feeling uncomfortable I'd suggest to talk to your boyfriend about this and see how it goes from there if you haven't already! Hopefully he will be able to listen to you and understand you! Perhaps he will be able to give you some advice to help you feel a little more comfortable when you're around them! After all, they're HIS friends and he probably knows them much better than everyone else! I'm sure he will be able to help you if you just ask him for some advice and you're kind to him! I'm so sorry, I wish I've had more advice to give to you! I'm TERRIBLE at begin social and in social situations in general so I completely understand what you mean, even though I'm sure you're NOT terrible at all and you're definitely much better than I ever will be! I'm so sorry you're going through all of this! I'm sure you'll be able to get through all of this if you just try to do your best! That's all you can do after all and it's more than enough! Don't worry, I'm SURE you'll be able to get through all of this! I promise you that! If it doesn't work out, at least you'll be able to say that you've tried your best! That's all we can do after all and it's more than enough! Keep fighting! Just remember to be yourself, to be your usual, kind and sweet self and try to follow the advice all the other wonderful people on this thread have already gave you! I'm sure you'll be able to get through all of this if you just keep trying! Please be kind to yourself! You deserve it! Remember that you're a strong, wonderful person! YOU ROCK! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT! I'm so sorry you're going through all of this by yourself! I hope things will get better soon for you and I hope that you'll be able to get some help from your boyfriend! I'm SURE you'll be able to get through all of this! You're strong, after all, and I believe in you! We all believe in you! Please try to believe in yourself as much as WE ALL DO BELIEVE IN YOU! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT! I hope you'll be able to see yourself like the strong, wonderful person that you truly are, because YOU ARE AND YOU KNOW IT! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT! You're AWESOME! You're STRONG! You're a WARRIOR! You're an AWESOME, STRONG WARRIOR! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT! Keep fighting! I'm so sorry you're going throguh ALL OF THIS! You don't deserve to suffer AT ALL! Nobody deserve to suffer AT ALL, certainly not you! I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this, golden_eve!
