Today my bff and her friends (weare in different courses but same University) , we all hung out in the mall and had a lot of fun but one thing was I heard really ruined my mood halfway through. I’m really dependent on my bff I can’t make friends on my own and idk why this happens. So, when we all went to food court they 3 of her friends went to the washrooms they didn’t know I was already in one of the stalls and started gossiping like how I am dumb and that I always come between and ruin their time together and just cussed me out. Indeed I felt really guilty, I just don’t have the ability to sweet talk or make others like me plus I’m quiet too is that really that bad that I’m straightforward? I have kind of social anxiety, my heart goes crazy when I try to talk to people and I end up stammering too. Please help me out if you have any tips. And yes, I tried to force myself to socialize but it didn’t work out I end up in awkward situations and I just wanna dig a ditch and just die there sometimes. Sigh :(
