I've become pretty good at being able to talk to people one on one, and make small talk and all that. Maybe even in a group of 3 I'm still okay. But as soon as I'm in a large group I just can't speak up or be myself or joke around. I just become super quiet. I was always like that in class or school or work or now as even an adult during group events or activities or if I get invited to a friend's birthday. I don't have many friends left now. And it makes it alot harder to socialize and meet people cause I feel no one sees my true personality. They just see a shy quiet girl or my other fear is they think I'm a snob who doesn't wanna talk to anyone. Even in one on one situations I can still be pretty awkward sometimes but at least it's better than in groups.
Does anyone else experience this or have any tips to get past it?
