I'm not exactly sure on how to socialize with others, i'm wondering if there are any advise on how i could get better at it.

Around close friends i'm completely okay, i can joke around and go crazy with them but with others unfortunately that's not the case. In school usually yes, i do know all my classmates but never really felt that i was close to them. It feels as though i can never fit in and they probably think that i'm unfriendly and unwilling to participate.

As much as i badly want to, words always get stuck in my throat and i can never really express them out the way i want. So it usually ends with things just being really awkward and all.

Sometimes i'm just being overlooked and ignored when there was this one time during sports i was completely ignored throughout pretty much the whole game despite being right in the middle.

And whenever someone actually does approaches me for something, even the smallest of things i'm grateful for that.

I have few friends which are mostly my close friends, i've been taking my friend's advice of trying to speak up more and act more friendly but it just seem to end the same way each time. There are many times when i wonder why am i even here when i can't even get this done right and i'm really unsure of what to do anymore.

There're projects coming up for me requiring teams, all my friends are in different classes and honestly it's just suffering.

Thank you for listening to my long ramblings.

idk if this really helps but.. If you want to we could chat?
Do you have sc, Skype or something?
And if u dont want ofc to you dont have to do it!! And i dont even know if i would be able to help u xD
But i happily would like a new friend ^^

Don't believe that the people you are talking to are the issue. That s 99% of the time not the case. I have met people that believe that everyone else is in the wrong and if you say that out loud you will probably realise the stupidity it carries.

I also suggest not listening in on other people convos or convos between friends just because everyone has their own way of speaking and someone else's 'flow' of socializing is different to the next.

Hopefully you can enyoy socializing!

Just by posting that on this site you are socializing :D ! But I assume you have problems interacting with people face to face , if so I will be glad to offer my help through skype!
I used to be like that about more than a year ago and honestly the best thing you can do about it is just go ahead and talk to people, after a while you will learn how to keep a conversation going and all will be good .

Well.. I know exactly how you feel. Haha. In class I'm that one person working alone while everyone else works in groups and it's not that I don't want to work in a group.. It's just that I'm bad at speaking. The problem is that you need to have more confidence in yourself. You seem like you don't want to talk because you are afraid that everything you say will be awkward and people will think badly of you. But that's not the case. You just need a little more confidence in yourself! So don't be afraid to talk!

I don't think your classmates think you're unfriendly for not talking a lot, they probably just think you're quiet! I think one important thing for socializing is really just showing that you listen to what people say. Like, if someone mentions that they really like a certain thing it can be nice if you bring it up in conversation another time you're talking to show that you remembered. I think most people won't mind if you are awkward as long as you are kind! And even if you find it hard to socialize and make friends with everyone, as long as you have a few people you really get along with it's okay; don't beat yourself up about it!

Thank you all for your replies and advice.

Try to socialize little by little. Eventually, you'll be able to socialize easily. Also try to talk to people you're comfortable with.
