How can I be fun to hang out with?

Question

I want people to like hanging out with me. I suck at this, sometimes I intimidate them or sometimes I sound so stupid to people especially to the people who I just recently hang out with. And when I say something stupid or I dunno, I'll be like so very pissed to myself. Help me please, I was not really like this before until I became so conscious that I keep thinking in the back of my mind when I talk to people. Everyone wants to hang out with me before, but now I lost it,, So help me please???

Answer 1

you have a little social anxiety...try meditation and deep breathing excersizes, so that you know how to calm yourself down and quiet your mind when the feelings of anxiety arise.

You can also look into medication if it's bad enough, but if this is a recent development you should be able to stop it before it gets too bad with a conscious attempt.

Answer 2

Never think so much about what to do or say around people or you will most assuredly regret it. Always just be yourself and try to stay calm and collected. Find people who have similar interests as you, don't try to hang out with people just because they are popular or because someone else thinks they are cool, this will never work out because you won't feel comfortable trying to be someone you are not to impress them! If you still do things that frustrate you just try to pass it off as a joke and make them laugh with you and not at you.
