I'm probably one of the few people that is shy with family members, even more so than strangers at times. My mother is having a dinner for her birthday in about a week, and I would rather not come. I feel shy around people my age, and there will be some cousins there that I don't have anything in common with, and that makes me feel shy. The last dinner I was at, I completely froze up and I hardly interacted. I can't really get out of this because my mom will be upset. Ideas?? Thanks.  |

Are there any old people you could hang with? Or little kids? Sometimes those ones would rather talk about themselves and then you could just sit back and listen. Another suggestion might be (if this is held at someone's home) to volunteer to help out in lieu of having to sit down and chat with your cousins. Good luck. |

Yeah I get along with kids, but I think they'll be preoccupied with their dinner. Thanks for the tips. |
