Hey I’m f(19) about to graduate high school and I’m confused: why am I intimidated by big groups of friends? When I go to school, I see big groups of friends having the time of their lives and I wish I was part of it but whenever an opportunity gets thrown at me I deny it? I’d say I’m an ambivert so it’s not like I’m introverted. I also don’t have social anxiety since I like being the center of attention in many scenarios but around popular people (who may even genuinely be good people) scares me? I’ve always wanted what they have but never let myself get it. Why?

Join in but don’t be the center of attention, just hang and listen. Chirp in with your own jokes or comments when you have something funny to say. Eventually you will get a good read of the crowd and will be more comfortable around them and them around you.
