Yeah, they were nice to me as well. But the fact that they were close very soon and chatted a lot made me feel the pressure. I talked to them as well but ending up with them talking to each other and i couldn’t catch them up so being quiet. I’ve been like this for all of my life and don’t know how to fix this. They didn’t do anything wrong. It was just something wrong with me. I also have a few close friends because this, and, only these people actually know my true colour. Some of you guys might be saying “you might not fit to this social group but you’d be fine in the other groups etc” but you know, if following to this logic i wouldn’t fit to 99% of the social groups/events😂😂😂. Every time i say something like this there’re always the people who say ‘yeah i’m like you blah blah blah’ but in real life all the introverts are little more extroverted than me anyway.

It sounds like you need to start at the beginning with taking some small steps toward becoming a more social version of you.
Here’s something I wrote that can help with that:

If you met me, you will feel more extroverted. Lol
Did you end up staying in that group that got close, or completely withdrawing from it? Because, it’s OK to be the quiet person in a group of social people. I know extroverts have it easier in America (possibly the opposite in Japan), but extroverts do need introverts. It’s a balance that evolved. If you are the only introvert in a group of extroverts, you are providing a much needed service to that group.
