I have a slight social phobia going on for ages, but nothing seems to be coming down since high school. It was a major trauma, being in a all girl school.

Recently, I've just started college. My beginning life was really fun! I felt like everybody were my friends, and there was this group of girls I'm really close to. But things have changed, I don't feel comfortable being around them anymore, as usual I feel more comfortable being with the opposite sex, but at the same time I don't want to look flirty.. Actually my 'group of friends' are really nice to me, It's just me, I don't know how to not feel awkward especially when we're having fun. When I'm awkward I do stupid things and weird stuff, it makes the whole situation even worse. Sometimes my friends just don't know what to say or do when I'm at that situation, so at the end I'm just left alone. Sometimes i feel even confident girls are awkward around me

Now even though I'm actually a people person, I feel like always wanting to be alone, far from them. Living happily without worrying about anything I do or say. It's just hard being comfortable in my own skin. i used to be that loud funny kid everybody seems to like, but I'm no longer like that

Have you ever felt that way? I really appreciate for any solution I'm tired of feeling like this everyday

My hugs to you for feeling alone and down.

My suggestion is to get active. There are likely clubs and actvities at school; you can participate in these on your own yet still be 'present' amongst others. Even going out to see a sporting match could meet this need. Can you voluteer at all? I do 1-2 times a month and I get a great deal out of feeling I have gotten involved. What about even a part time job?
