Are you having a hard time fitting in?

Nearly everyone, regardless of age wants to be accepted by others. That’s why it hurts so much to be left out and ignored, as if you were invisible – just someone in the background. And sometimes, the more you struggle to fit in, the more disappointed you can feel.

Avoid the dead ends to social success:

Isolation – clearly, retreating into a shell will just make matters worse.

Desperation – Some people are so desperate to fit in that they fall into the wrong crowd – thinking that any friends are better than no friends.

What can you do?

Take the initiative – reach out to others.

Develop conversation skills – by listening, asking questions, and showing genuine concern.

~Bottom line, to make friends and fit in, you have to be friendly.~
