I mean be shy to the point that you would avoid being in social situations.
There is usually a conception that people who care about how they dress are outgoing and sociable but I was wondering if there was anyone else who was more quiet like me
Im strange. I dont have problems talking to people about a task or assignment we have to do or talking to people for the first few times or whatever
Its when it gets to the seeing them more stage or the friend/aquaintance stage.
For example at school/work I have no problem talking to people the first day or first few days where everyone is still sort of shy and quiet but after that when people start forming their own group/friendship circles I usually am still left alone and have nothing really to contribute.
And when sitting with people and not having anything definitive to talk about such as an assignment or job to do there is usually this awkward silence around me which i see noone else seeming to have and find my self awkwardly looking around the room.
Another example is this guy from school the first few days used to just sit there by himself reading so I decided one day to sit with him, he is a cool guy and all but a month later everyone seems to get along well with him while I seemed to have become the awkward dude. And feel awkward when walking out of class not talking to anyone.
I make an effort to talk to people or sit with people but I just dont have anything to talk about. Maybe I am just thinking about it too much about mimicking what is 'normal'
I also dont feel as though I have any close friends at all and just hang out with some people just for appearances even though I am not really enjoying myself and would rather just be at home chilling on my own.
Sorry for going all Dr Phil on you guys but I just had to get it out
