hey you
guys,
I need a bit of advice, can anyone help me out?
I have crazy social anxiety & I really want to invite
friends over to my house instead of waiting for them to
invite me, but I'm terrified of it being awkward or there
being nothing to do so it's really boring.
(god I sound so pathetic)
If anyone has any stuff that they do with their friends
(especially people you don't know super well) when
they're over at your house, or just tips or ideas or
anything, PLEASE comment
them?
-watch a movie on netflix or from redbox or wherever
-play video games (i.e. just dance, always fun with groups and you don't even need a remote)
-play board games (something fun though. i have this game called Quelf and my friends and i love it. 100/10 highly recommend)
-if its warm enough you should ask your parents to start a fire and make smores! or you can make them on the stove
-play "never have i ever" with kool aid or some other drink you like - its a good way to get to know people and see what you have in common
-have a nerf gun war (this depends on if you have nerf guns but i always find them fun)
i would stay away from watching youtube videos, going on facebook, going on tumblr, etc.
personally, i find it quite annoying when people do that while i'm over their house
Get some rocks from outside, paint them, and then walk them around a populated area to see everyones reaction.
Go to a pretty park or a place with a nice landscape and take pictures. It's fun doing weird poses and all that shtuff. Or there's always trees. Trees are cool.
Climb a tree! My friend and I did that. Then, I got stuck for like twenty minutes, and that was pretty fun.
Like others have been saying, rent a movie.
Go into the kitchen and without a specific goal in mind, try to create something! Use a bunch of random ingredients and cooking methods, and see what it ends up as.
Do something a little weird, but kind. Write a bunch of inspirational things on sticky notes, and then go out and stick them everywhere. On a cereal box in a grocery story, on someones doorknob, somewhere where random people will find them.
Truth or dare....two truths and a lie.....
Simple art projects http://www.the36thavenue.com/2011/11/25-handmade-gifts-under-5.html There's a section two and three of this website too with more ideas. I've tried some and they're super awesome.
Go shopping.
Paint nails, do hair, make up......not my personal favorite, but it's an option
like everyone said...good food is the key to success :) Also you're super awesome, so that's another key to success
there are always board games
I've played this game with six people and it was SUPER funny https://www.theredheadedhostess.com/home-and-family/fun-home-and-family/fun-family-game-2-the-sentence-game/
Take a long walk, and discuss life :P
If you invite more than one person, you won't be responsible for keeping the conversation going.
Put on music and dance crazily.
Make up a weird play and video tape it.
There's always the computer.
And then the classic, buy a bunch of lemons, write the word life on a shirt, and try handing them out. I actually did this and the reactions were hilarious. It didn't work, so we just scattered them around a park. It was really really fun.
Hope this helped!!!!
