Fionnlagh agony auntIt's a new year. Maybe all you need is a positive outlook.

I use to lie to my friends whenever they invited me out to hang, because I knew there were people I didn't know that were going to be there too. In my case, it was an anxiety problem. I was way too shy to try.

You should take more risks and say yes more and not turn down an opportunity to do something with your friends. Even if you think it's not your thing. Go with the flow anyway. 'You never know what you have until it's gone', which is what you are experiencing now.

You'll only find out about yourself in the company of others. Trust me, what you are experiencing is a common thing, and never continues into adulthood. Learn to be happy with your individuality and be happy ok :D

Happy New Year
