I need advice on how to be approachable? It seems like everywhere I go I get ignored, and I recently started at college so I am having the same issue. I am a quiet and shy person if I don’t know you, but always help someone if I’m asked etc. For example today in class our first assignment was to pick 2 people close to you and get to know them- name/where they are from. And the one girl beside me asked the teacher ‘if it had to be someone close to you?’ And teacher said ‘NO’ so this girl got up and walked to the person on the other side of me to ask them their name/where they are from. It actually hurt my feelings and I am having trouble understanding why I get ignored and what I can do to over come this. I’m not snobby, or a smart ass, etc. Just someone who wants to feel part of the group and help others.
