Making Friends

Shyness and introversion are often misunderstood concepts that play a significant role in how individuals navigate social interactions. Shyness typically refers to the feeling of apprehension or discomfort in social situations, which can lead to avoidance behaviors. It can manifest as a fear of judgment or embarrassment when engaging with others.
 
This emotional response can create barriers to making new friends, as shy individuals may hesitate to initiate conversations or participate in group activities due to their anxiety. Recognizing that shyness is a common experience can help you feel less alone and more empowered to address it.
