Hi this is my first time in any shy group. I'm 16 and my whole life
I've had a very stable group of friends. We have always been some of
the more popular kids in school, and I never really thought of
myself as shy, because I met a lot of new people in high school and
more people hung out with our group. Then one day I was the new kid
for the first time. I wanted to join this sports team that wasnt
associated with school and I totally froze. I had never tried making
friends without my normal friends around, and I was completely
shocked on how I handled it. I got really tense and stuttered and
wanted to run and hide from everyone. Ever since I've been terrified
of doing anything without my friends, because I know how shy I can
be. Any advice?
