All my life I've been the quiet one. I'm sick of being that way.
It hasn't really bothered me until recently.
In a big group conversation I just can't participate.
I thought this was because of my Dyslexic brain and the fact that I have speech problems.
But usually I just have nothing to say or I have no interest in what people are talking about.
It's even hard to force myself to join in a conversation.
I've just been the quiet one all my life and I don't know how to change.
I don't really want therapy because my Dyslexic treatment and speech therapy is already going to cost me enough.
I get so jealous whenever my boyfriend mentions doing things with his friends.
I've met them and well what I said above usually happens.
I just sit there and think about how much I don't want to be in that situation.
I have a feeling like it will happen again.
I'm also just so insecure about being in a relationship and think my boyfriend finds me boring.
Whenever I'm over at his place and not doing anything 'physical' we're just sitting around bored.
As a result I want to spend less time so we don't have another day of being bored.
I have few friends, but I barely see them. I don't talk to anyone in my town.
My boyfriend lives 3 hrs away from me, where most of my friends live.
My last best friend moved away when I was 9, since then it's been hard to make friends.
I guess what I'm asking is how do I start talking to people more? How do I actually have fun? I can't believe I'm asking that.
I really don't want to avoid hanging out more with my boyfriend or completely avoiding his friends.
Curse my introverted lifestyle!
I might just also add that I'm usually good at speaking one-on-one but never to 2 or more people.
