Don't reject yourself. You are projecting a bad end even before anything has happened. If you don't know what to say when they approach you, just ask questions about them, but avoid small talks. People like talking about stuff that make them happy and what they are proud of. Some people will ask you back, some not but it is ok. No one can be liked by everyone. You have to make sure you are in the right environment where you shares common interests with those people and it is a good start of a conversation. Don't be scared and give yourself a chance.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
