Hi MiddayNap,

I can totally relate! I’m ok one-on-one but sometimes in groups I can just shut down. It seems like everyone is better friends and they don’t really like me. I feel like an outsider. It’s very hard to dig deep and be a part of the group and happy like they seem. The I get upset that people are”ignoring” me. I hate the feeling.

I don’t drink so it’s hard to match the humor and energy.. it IS very important that I have friends so I’m starting to reach out to those I’ve lost track of..

It’s an effort sometimes when I feel like I’m the one with “issues”. I think it’s all in my view of things but it’s hard to battle that. I sometimes focus on one person i know well and then ask questions of others I don’t know as well. People love to talk about themselves!
