I really enjoy being around people. but this issue is more noticable now than ever. such as when i was in a group sitting the other nite, the circle of question came to me and i just looked at others and could not speak. i just said pass me up. I am not like that one on one, then it seems i could talk on and on. and when in groups, its not like i dont want to talk, I JUST CANT. strange as this sounds, i use to facilate groups myself. now i cant even participate. whats up with this. I hate it, i can not get to know people this way.
i need advise or a plan of action. i am joining this singles group and need to get beyound this. help and support please Posted on 07/04/09, 10:07 am |

Perhaps if you talked to a couple of the group members one on one before the group session starts you would feel more confortable? Then when the question came to you you could look at the people that you talked to before group and pretend that you were talking just to them?
Maybe that would work? Things will get easier when you relax. Thinking of you xx

I tend to be the same way when it comes to speaking in groups. Scaredandscarred has a good idea with talking to some of the other group members one on one first...
Something I usually try to do is answer at least one question, and then as I get more comfortable with answering one, I work on answering more.
