Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend says his friends think I don’t like them because I don’t mix in with their conversations. The fact of the matter is that I am very shy and it takes me a while before I get to know people well enough to feel comfortable chatting with them.
Queenie, I don’t want his friends to get the wrong idea about me. What should I do?—Shy girl
Dear Shy girl,
Ask your boyfriend to explain to his friends how shy you are and ask them to give you more time to get to know them. And do your best overcome your shyness, get to know them and join their conversations as quickly as you can.
