Yeah . . . After the train wreck that happened last year, I've pretty much concluded that I am better off just having one good friend or two. I never was very good at talking to people in the first place and have almost no social skills. I spend too much of my time daydreaming, and I have a lot of interests that most people just don't get. I don't know how to approach people, and I often end up sitting next to a person in class for years before I actually talk to them. I'm amazed at how I ever managed to get to know the few friends that I have now. Goodness knows I wasn't the one who talked first.

I know just how you feel.....I've known a few people since middle school, and I've only really just got to know them now....and we're in the last year of high school now! But one girl just wouldn't give up, and kept talking to me, so even though I've only known her for a short time, we're really good friends now. I think that some people think me stuck up because I won't yell hello to them in the street if I see them, or strike up conversation....but the truth is, I'm too shy to yell out like other people, and I panic talking face to face with people.

Hmmm... how did we even meet up with our friends? The funny thing is, I dont remember! :lol: Im quite forgetful, even at such important things like these. All I know is that somehow we get stuck in the same group when doing a project or report ar sitting at the same table... and we cant just ignore each other by staying silent! hahaha now that I recall it, its really funny, we all just like to talk to each other so we got along. After several years, I still know some kids from elementary school. ^^;;

That's how I am, too. When I see someone I know in the hallway or something like that . . . I suddenly find a new facination with my feet, and walk right past them unless they say hi to me first. I honestly don't know how not to panic when I see people, and that makes others think I'm stuck up. I've had people joke around, and ask me why I don't like them anymore because I don't say hi to them.

I do the same thing DoRKyLOo. If I see somebody I know, I won't talk unless they talk first and people think I'm just a stuck up b**ch. I seriously need to work on my social skills! The only time I never have trouble talking is when I talk to really little kids like between the ages of 4-10 or babys' and toddlers. Anything older I have trouble with. That's part of the reason I chose to become an elementary teacher. No pressure.
