How can I socialize and stop being scared to talk to people
​
I'm 15, and this year I realized that I wasn't able to socialize.
This year, my best friend moved away, and I realized that I had become dependent on her. I had other friends (they often stayed with me and my best friend before she moved away). I got along well with them, so naturally I stayed with them after my best friend left. However, I felt like I was slowly losing my connection with them.
I think it was my fault because I never really talked. I preferred to stay silent and listen to them. When I did talk, it was always just a few words because I didn't know what to say.
As time went on, we drifted apart and eventually stopped talking.
I could've socialized with my classmates, which I did sometimes, but they were already friends with each other. They had known one another for years, so they often stayed in groups of two. Plus, there were only 19 students in my class, and only 9 girls, including me, so I often ended up being alone.
Whenever I spoke to them, I would stutter or struggle to form a coherent sentence. I was always nervous. I didn't know what to say or how to act, so I stayed quiet and simply listened to them. They all knew each other for years, so they often talked about subjects I knew nothing about.
I didn't dare approach them first because I felt like I would just bother them and waste their time since I don't talk much. I just hope that one day I'll be able to talk to people without feeling so nervous.
