I really relate to someone in my class and would like to be their friend. I am so shy around him. I have no idea what to speak or say . Its kind of silly really because its someone I can talk to about things and am really comfortable around. I don't know why I'm not confident enough to tell them I would like to be their friend. Maybe because their a single guy my age whose goodlooking. It makes me shy. I never know how I will be received from him.
I really need to get my confidence level up. There a few women I want to be friends with how are my age to. again I'm really shy around them and not sure how I will be received either.
Melissa, Laura, Tonya and Glenda. I never know what to say to them to let them know I would like to be friends with them.
In all honesty I've been a loner and have never really stepped out in faith to start making friends. Taking the inative to be their friends. I want to get out of my comfort zone and start stepping out in confidence like I know God created me to be a secure and Confident woman.
My prayer request is God will fill me with his confidence and that he will give me boldness to befriend these people and not to allow fear or rejection and my old man to get in my way.
Nor listen to any lies the enemy may whisper to me along the way. I really don't want to hear them.
I want to take the steps to be around postive people and people who can encourage me in my christian walk with God and to go deeper closer and more intimate with him. I need to start developing some variety in my quiet times with him. Enter into worship. Tune out everything around me not only in my private worship but my public as well. Not care so much on what other people think of my worship or my emotions. I've been one to hold back any feelings for fear of people's thoughts or opionons of me. I will no longer let these things run my life and hold me back. I strive to step out in faith and share my feelings with God in my worship. whether I laugh, cry, dance, raise my hands, be still, clap, jump for Joy. my worship is between me and him anyway. I need to get it into my spirit that no one cares how I worship. there not even looking at me. they are doing their own worship. Its strictly between myself and God. Everyone expresses themselves differently.

Hi Katie. I am sorry I haven't emailed. I now have your new email address. I lost the email that had the new one in it. Anyway, I can relate to the feelings you are having. I am pretty shy myself. I still struggle with it. I have had to force myself to be uncomfortable in order to make friends. And in the end, it isn't so bad as I think it will be. Yes you do have to vulnerable and that is kind of scary. Yes you have to show your true self. But if people don't like who you are, that really is there problem. And if they don't like you, than they weren't good friend material to begin with then. Most likely though if you open up to people, they will like you and see your heart. I hope this helps.
