Hi.
I am in a situation where I can possibly start curing my shyness, but I admit I am very afraid to do it.
One of my co-workers (female) has been trying to get me to hang out with her and her friends (who are all female) for awhile, and each time, I will tell myself, "I am going to do this!" up until the last minute where I will lose my nerve and come up with an excuse for why I can't go.
This time, one of her friends (that I have a crush on) will be going too. I have met her in person a couple of times when she comes into my job with my co-worker, but other than exchanging messages on myspace every once in awhile, we do not communicate.
Even though I have met my co-worker's other friends before, being in one place with them (4 of them; female) is making me very nervous just thinking about it. A friend of mine told me to "be myself in that situation," but all that implies is that I sit there quietly avoiding eye contact with everyone, hoping that everyone will sort of ignore me until everyone leaves.
Has anyone else been in this scenario or has any advice?
Thank you.
