Hi, its my first time here, so basically i have been a shy person all my life and i kinda battled with low self esteem years ago, but the thing is i don't know how to make friends, don't know how to talk to people, a lot of people see me as an uptight person and don't want to hang out with me, the small group of friends i have, well just 2 people, always say things about me at my back, saying i am too boring and weird and they stop hanging out with me. And i really feel bad and cry myself to sleep almost every night, cause i feel so lonely and i don't know what to do, i don't want to keep feeling this way. What do i do, pls help?

I have similar background, maybe join a group doing something which takes pressure off. Be yourself always. Do you have anxiety issues or depression? if so they have some mild antidepressants that could make a world of difference. Good luck! sorry dont know what else.

Hi. My advice is to just be yourself and don't worry about what other people think of you. Also, don't try to please them thinking you will be accepted by them more. People respect you more if you are confident about yourself. At the end of the day if people cannot accept you for yourself they are not worthy of your friendship.

What I would say is have some practice talking to new people... in a support group like this one. If you feel supported, you will gain your confidence... If it doesn't work, be proud that you tried. Everything you do to make your life a little better is work to be proud of.

Glad you are posting. We understand. Have you considered a church group? A fun one, which offers activities and social gatherings. People in my small group are so accepting and make me feel loved.
