    It's I've.

    I didn't read your post because your constant use of "iv" pissed me off.

    I'm exactly the same, people accept you for what you're like. I guess at Uni It'd be different but there's always a quiet one somewhere. I don't think I'll lose any friends from being quiet - much more likely I'll lose them from being loud and saying dumb stuff. I'm good at that :p

    But how you are is fine in my opinion :)

    I've been getting exactly the same advice about my girlfriend but for whatever reason was too shy to do it. Anyway, I've invited her round for tea on monday going to finally try to 'break the fucking ice' lol. :(Good luck hun. What do you mean you were half-cut in the middle of some action?? :confused:

    I'm a quiet person too. I was always really shy at school and then slowly came out of my shell bit by bit since leaving. I'll never be the life and soul of the party but I prefer to think of myself as "quiet" now rather than "shy". I have this problem sometimes where I just can't think of anything to say. Sounds silly really.

    I'm still not sure what the answer is as I haven't found it myself. But I can say with some confidence that going to uni will help a lot. You'll meet so many new people every day for the first few weeks, that you don't even have to try hard to be confident. You will make a lot of new friends there :yes: They might not be as close as the friends you've already got, or they might be the best friends you've ever had.

    Also, do you think your quietness is a self-confidence problem? That's what my problem is. I feel that I don't want to say anything in case it sounds really silly, so I end up not saying anything at all. And this is especially true when it comes to talking about feelings, with boyfriends. I end up bottling everything up and then blurting everything out in one go when I feel more confident than usual, and then making more of it than there really was.

    Anyway, I think going to uni will help you rather than make things worse :)
