How to be more social (10)

I don't have any friends to go out with on the weekends. I don't like talking in front of people. Whenever I'm in a group, it seems like I'm the only one that doesn't get involved. What should I do?

could you be more specific? why don't you like talking in front of people - fear, embarassment, just not having anything to say?

other than that - often when im in a group (~5+ people) what usually happens is a series of conversations between 2 or 3 people. we generally dont all talk at once on the same topic. for example, me and my male friends may start talking about sports while the girls there are talking about tv or films (or any other topic.. i just mean we talk about different things, not trying to suggest any sexual stereotypes ;) ), then as one conversation dies down, or if someone feels they are dropping out of one conversation, they can also listen in on the other conversation and join in with that. as it progresses the conversations involve everyone in some way throughout the night. so, what you could try is starting a conversation with 1 or possibly 2 people sat next to you, then try to get more people involved in the conversation if you think it would interest them. really could do with some more information about your situation though for a better tailored answer
