so if you have any advice or if u want some more information just say


thank u very muchIm really bad at socializing. Any advice? Thanks.?
Give yourself a break girl! You are only 13 and just learning about people. The best thing to do when being social, is to listen to what the person is saying, and be, {or act}, interested. Ask questions, give comments. Another is to actually have something to say! Read a newspaper everyday. Talk about what interests you personally. Also, just smiling and being friendly to people will draw them to you. And most of all, don't gossip! No one will ever trust you if you go on about other peoples problems.Im really bad at socializing. Any advice? Thanks.?
You need to ask questions and be genuinely interested. She said she got this top the other day - ask her where she got it from. Or she plays violin - how long has she been playing, thats great. And contribute too, if they give info, you have to as well - you'd love to play violin, but you're really not musically talented, or I do love that top - I'll have to go and have a look.


know when the conversation is going to end, some in a few sentences, some in 5 minutes, but when you think you're running out of words, make the excuse to check your phone, go to the bathroom, ask someone else something. Dont be the interesting person who ends up boring. Get me? And the more you get involved and enjoy conversation you'll get better and enjoy it more.
I used to have the same problem before. I think the best is to be genuinely interested in another person and you will have enough to ask and ultimately talk about. You would not approach someone, if you didn't think there's anything interesting about him/her. Look for common interests and experiences, but most importantly be yourself.
when talking to people dont ask them yes or no questions because those dont last long


also if you dont have anything else to say then change the subject go on to talk about something else


also it cant all just be you talking the other person has to contribute so it can all be you fault if the conversation doesnt last long
people like it when the conversation is about then and they feel like you care about what they have to say i had the same problem and now i just make the conversation about them it works or ppl her are real *******
I realize the best people that can hold a conversation are the ones that are really open and not afraid to talk about themselves, your on lock down because your just a kid, when you get older it will be much easier
a therapist can be very helpful with this
