I know this might seem funny, but if I'm not with a friend, I'm very awkward to be around. Anyone want to help me with this? I'm not too outgoing so if that is a solution, then you can forget about it

Just do what you do with your friends to strangers.

Hope they make the first move to talk to you or talk to people multiple times and get used to them. I'm pretty much the same way.

Just say hi, introduce yourself if you don't know them, and ask 'em a question or something. o_o Just say something (funny, if you have humor) and smile. Takes practice if you're really shy. xD

This is what you do find yourself a group of girls the bigger the better since you have more chances. Just start talking don't look nervous even though on the inside you will be a mess (I was). Keep talking if you haven't gotten kicked out by this moment start to flirt and then just say goodbyes and leave. It sounds hard to do but I was like you until the day my friends threw me into a huge group of girls only reason I didn't run out screaming was because of the fact I was in panic and couldn't move. One of them talked to me and I have no idea where I found the courage to talk back but I did pretty soon I was talking to all of them. then I got up and left and my friends were with their jaws dropped at the fact I didn't make myself look like a moron. =)

Stop caring. Just, let go. let gooooooo. ever been real doped up in the hospital? try to get that state of mind all the time. okay, i shouldn't say that. take the relaxation and contentment(?) from that, and apply it to everyday life. one good thing i like to do to remember to relax is to (even in a group of people), completely relax my body and close my eyes for about 20 seconds. or, imagine that everybody thinks you're a sexy piece of flesh. it helps to have 'foxy lady' on in the background/headphones. :]
