It's awkward to talk to a girl on FB when you I can't talk to her irl  | Absolutely, it's making conversation! Think about things you want to ask. Like, how she is, how her summer is, etcetera.

Try keeping a convo going thru messages and stuff, then when you think youvhave the strength, ask her out on a date or ask her if she wants to hang out with you sometime. PM me whatever you need and I'm more than happy to help. Ive been thru what your going thru so I know from experience |

I am tired (it's 1:30am ATM), but I'll come back to help you tomorrow.

Don't worry about the people who aren't there because all the people who are iggnorant to you are people you don't need to be involved with anyway! By the way... I was into cutting myself and I resently have not been doing it as often and trust me it doesn't help. If anything it makes things worse in some ways.

I tried talking to people a while ago,I feel that they're just waiting for the convo to end (giving automatic answers) | Just assume that girls won't make the first move. Girls would rather have guys come over to talk to them. It can be frustrating but it's just the way they are. If you sit around and wait for this girl to talk to you, you might be waiting for a very long time. ---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ---------- Quote:

You'll screw things up and make awkward mistakes. But that's OK. You have to learn to forgive yourself for your mistakes.
But I guess I'm in no position to be giving you advice. I'm terrible at making friends...all the friends I make either forget about me or turn out to be hypocritical bitches. Maybe you should try this website...I used to go on there a long time ago and it kinda helped.  | Yes it's okay to be little bit shy sometimes, but like you said, you can't be too shy.

I know shyness is not easy-- you're afraid of making a mistake, of getting people not to like you. "One wrong word, and I'm screwed!" You can't think that way, because it's not true. Remember this: in high school, everyone has short term memory loss. That is, unless you do something REALLY stupid or noticeable, it'll be forgotten with days. So you don't need to worry about mistakes, really.
Also keep in mind that girls are attention whores, whether they admit or not (it's not meant to be taken offense to, ladies. You know it's true). If they suspect you are ignoring them-- that's a turn off. Don't worry about anything. Just don't follow them (stalking without actually saying anything), or get close to them and not talk at all. Even a "hi" and a few general questions (How are you doing, blabbidy blahbity blah) will go a long way, and soon, they might be the conversation starter, in a way doing all the work for you  .
As for the "making fun of you"-- you just gotta roll with the punches, mate. Shrug it off, because in all reality, things like that are child's play (quite literally). In fact, I would go so far to say that they make fun of you because they like you. I know that with my friends, we talk shit all the time-- just be able to dish it in return, and you'll have everyone's respect.
Do you have any more/specific questions? Shyness CAN be overcome; I'm the very model of that, especially since I only overthrew it practically a few weeks ago.

If it makes you feel any better, at least she responded at all. If she really didn't like you, she WOULD have ignored you to begin with.
You don't know how long she's known that guy, do you? That relationship (I'm going to assume it's just friendly) had to start somewhere. You've got to be patient.
