Am I shy?
Hi, just a little moment to vent (sorry).
I'm 18 yo And I don't think I've ever had a stable friendship. I've always been alone.
Now I'm finishing high school and I'm trying to make friends with a new group of people (the previous one never took me into consideration). But there's this thing that my brain does during parties (like tonight). My brain was..."nahh you don't need to make friends you're fine on your own" to "why do I stood like a creep in front of them?"
The thing is
I don't know how to carry on a conversation .
I don't know how to carry on a conversation between one or more people
I feel like a creep when I start to socialize and even if I do, I don't know how to carry on and finish the conversation.
So yeah , If you have any tips they are welcomed

you don't need to apologise for venting your problems, this is what cups is for :)
maybe you could join some clubs of your interests and you'll find people who enjoy the same hobbies as you do? or if you don't have access to any you could start one and that'd be like joining others who are experiencing the same problems as you
a tip for a conversation is that whatever people say you actually don't have to look people in the eye. bc people I talk to say that I make them uncomfortable by staring at them the whole time. Look at ur feet if u need to haha!
if u don't like socialising irl you can always make friends here on cups too, ik it's not the same but sometimes can be easier
wish u luck 💙
