What might they be thinking?

Question

At school, I'm the type that would talk and laugh loud with my friends and present school projects with confidence. However, I rarely contribute my ideas publicly during class discussions since I prefer listening than drawing attention to myself. I rarely initiate conversations with people who I'm not totally familiar with and I barely have any guy friends due to shyness. However, a lot of guys have tried talking to me before and one of them even asked me in a kind and caring way why I was so quiet.

At lunch, I sit with my friends and I don't sit with the "popular" big group. But every once in a while, I would catch some of those guys from the huge group look over in my direction. When my friends and I leave the cafeteria, I always catch those guys looking at us. Does that mean they want to be friends or what? I mean I just can't be myself when I'm talking to them but with my friends, I'm really loud and outgoing.

So what exactly are they thinking?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 4

You're just an introverted girl, who only feels comfortable and confident when around familiar people. It's normal for you to be timid around guys and people you aren't familiar with.

It's hard to tell if these people on the other table like you or not. I mean staring can be interpreted in many ways...even bad ways. I suggest you approaching one person, or the guy who asked why you were quiet. Dont go up to the table though I dont think you would if you were that shy, maybe try and talk to one of the group when you are with a friend so you feel more confident.

Answer 5

everyone in school looks at everyone else in school.  you look at the big popular group, they look at you, and other groups and individuals are looking at both groups.  everyone is trying to figure out who they are, how they should act, and what they should wear.  they're having fun, but maybe you're having more fun.  maybe you're group is less inhibited, because it's smaller and there's less people to influence how you act.  they may feel more pressure to act a certain way because there's more of them to judge each other.  everyone's judging everyone else.  everyone's self-conscious and judging themselves.  try inviting one or two people who you think might fit in with your group to join you for "lunch today" - no long term commitment  implied - and see what happens.  fortunately, things get easier as you get older.
