Social fear... kind of

[apec]

Right now im in high school and im kind of an introvert. I have several good friends that i hang out with constantly, but i have some fear of asking anyone else i know to hang out. I think it comes from placing everyone i know somewhere on my social scale. What ends up happening is I get all insecure around those higher then me, which often ends up in me feeling awkward. The ones i consider "lower" on my social scale i end up treating like crap in a sense.

Also for some reason I feel like I have to always be doing something on a friday or saturday night, and I force myself to, even if i had been chilling with friends earlier that day. One guy I know (best friend) is way more social then me, and it makes me feel sick inside knowing I could be doing that.

I feel that these problems are the only things holding me back, and if I could get by them my life would be much better.

Bravo my man.

You already know what to do, but you just don't want to do it.

join a club or after school activity. you gotta learn to be comfortable around many other people. once you're comfortable you'll become more sociable.

exactly what foomee said, you never know what type of clubs are at your school and who'd be in them

Go to the gym and work out so you can get some muscle in that puny little body of yours (or so you can lose the extra weight)
