[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm 15:46.  One of the most important things I stopped doing which resulted in more friends was to stop second guessing how I was acting in social situations.  Your follow up post to mine sounds like you are TOO aware of what your "faults' may be, that you're trying really hard not to reveal them in social situations.  And you're right, that turns people off.  Smiling too much?  People may think you're fake and trying to hard.  Appear reserved?  People might think you're not interested in them.  Overcompensate and try to be bubbly?  we are back to fake.

The best advice I can give you is to not thinking about how you are coming across when you talk to people.  The less you think about it, the more natural you will be.  I still struggle with this sometimes, and honestly I prefer to have a glass of wine at functions when I don't know anyone but DH .  It relaxes me.  Is there anything you can do in the moment that relaxes you?  Good luck OP.  It can be a rough road, but you don't want to pretend to be someone you're not just to make friends.  At this age, we want meaningful friendships and friends who like us for who we are, not who we are trying to be[/quote]
