i've come to university and ive made 4 awesome best friends, they are like the life of the party kind of girls! they are so funny, full of personality, never a dull moment, crazy, always have great stories to tell and stuff. I love them so much but i feel so initimidated and overshadowed by them. Im very shy, quiet and introverted and generally find it quite hard to get close to people.My friends are quite touchy feely aswell, they'd hug each other and lift each other up, kiss on the cheek, rest on each others shoulder, dance sexually with each other and say sexual things to each other in a jokey way like how BFFs do and call each other bitch/ho/slag in a joking way. but I'd never feel brave enough to be like that with them. In the past, i havent had luck with making friends, when i try to get close to people it backfires on me and i get hurt badly, secondary school and college was pretty lonely for me, so i came to uni and decided i wanted a fresh new start, nobody needs to know that i was a lonely girl and all.but now i feel like instead of having a fresh new start, i should have had the foundation for a good social life at university. everytime i go to see my friends i feel awkward when they all have blackberries in their hands, texting away and receiving texts every minute and receiving calls while im just sitting there, and i look at my friends rooms and see tons and tons of pictures on there wall and in frames of all their friends at home and family, pictures on holidays, proms, parties etc, and i dont have any of that, ive got a very small family and we never go on holiday, and i dont have many pictures worthy of putting on my bedroom wall, maybe like 3, it seems trivial, but it shows that you have a life and many friends and people who care about you, when i leave their house i cry on the way back home. How do i get over being so intimidated by them?I love them so much and i want to really deepen my friendship with them, but ive never really had bestfriends in the past, only acquantances, so i feel like i dont really now how to be best friends with them. The leap from being forever alone to having a close group of friends was too far a leap for me. Sometimes i feel like they have their lives and im just bothering them, i dont know, but they are not mean at all they love me and always want me to see them, i dont know, how can i overcome something like this? has anybody experienced something like this?
