Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in when I'm with my friends. When they ask me to hang out with them out of school, I make up a excuse and say that I can't go, not because I have social phobia ( I do have a little, but that's not the reason ), but because whenever I'm with them I feel left out. I really like my friends, I know some of them since I was like 6, but still it doesn't feel right whenever I'm with them, and I have no idea of what to do or if what I feel is normal
Lots of teenagers feel like this at some point. Partly it sounds like it’s a confidence issue. If you have known them that long and they ask you to come out, they obviously like you! I have the same sort of problem sometimes because I feel that I’m just a clinger on or something, but you have to remember that they do want you around! If you don’t feel like going out all the time then don’t, it’s your decision and you are perfectly normal. But don’t let your self confidence hold you back- push yourself.
