Dear Abby,

I am writing to you today to ask advice for advice on social anxiety. I’m a freshman and am scared of reaching out and making new friends with people in older grade levels. I get nervous that they don’t want to be friends with someone who is younger than them.

Sincerely,

Shy in Saucon

Dear Shy in Saucon,

My advice to you would be to be yourself. Talk to people when you want to talk to them, and if they don’t reciprocate, you aren’t meant to be friends. It’s most important to not try and morph into someone just to become their friend. 

Sincerely,

Abby
