My parents are worried about my social life?

Question

I've been having a problem with "people" for years. When I went into middle school, it got worse. Maybe I just got more emotional. But my mom knows and she's overly worried about me. She cries all the time and I'm kinda scared. What should I do?

Any advice would be helpful.

Answer 1

To make friends, you're going to need the confidence to do it. You just can't hope people would come up to you and ask if you want to be friends. You need to learn to somehow control those emotions, and somehow release them without hurting anyone. Write in a diary or a daily journal about how you feel, and believe me, you will feel a lot better. To help the process of making new friends, join clubs at your school. There, you can converse with people, and eventually you can hang around where they are at during break, and meet more people. You can talk to people sitting around you in class, etc. Register on social networking sites like Myspace or Facebook and send comments and messages to your friends. Request friends with people you don't know and talk with them. (Be careful though, there are a lot of sexual predators on those websites these days)

It just seems to me that you're lacking confidence, and if you don't establish that characteristic, you're going to have a troubled future. Think about topics you can talk about before you meet your friends, so that you won't turn out to be a complete bore. Throw in some jokes, because people love funny people. Just be confidant and people around you who can see that you're confidant, will like you for it.

Good luck! :D

Answer 2

make friends on the internet, join clubs like Big Church dot com, smile alot. And don't fret meeting people because if you're going to get hooked up so to speak it'll be a one on one relationship.

Answer 3

Just try your best to be "the people". I know its hard for you but you can do it.

Answer 4

The best way you could deal with your problem is find a good therapist and talk about what you are going through. I know this sounds dull but getting professional help is always the best way to mend your problem properly... and it seems to be your mom is emotionally exhausted and very concerned about you. I'd look for help asap if I were you.  

Answer 5
