I am a 23 year old man.
Basically I am quite shy and quiet and reserved. I prefer 1 to 1 conversations rather than large group conversations.
I am a member of a walking group and that is good because you can just choose a person to talk whilst you are walking along and it's easy.
However they have social events like meals at a restaurant. I want to go but I am too afraid of being shy and looking stupid and awkward because that's what usually happens.
The reason is when you are sat around a table everybody talks as a group and I don't know what to say or when the right time to say something is.
I want to go to these things but I am just too afraid.
How can I overcome this?
Thank you
