M's New Daily M Girl Advice Column!

MGIRLS.jpgHey M Girls!

We have a BRAND NEW spin on the daily advice column on mmm-mag.com. Each day at 8:00 PM/EST we'll post a reader question and have our M Girl answer it!! Today, we're talking being to nervous to talk to your group of girlfriends!!

M Reader LOLHey asked:
I'm really shy around my own friends. I just stand there and listen whenever they're all talking. I want to give my 2 cents, but I don't know what to say. What should I do?

And M Girl's answer is:
"I totally understand where you're coming from -- I used the have the exact same problem. I used to feel nervous about what I would say. And when I did talk within the group, I felt like no one was listening to me. But as I grew older, I learned to work through my insecurities and I started to feel more comfortable in my own skin. And that's when I started becoming more and more outgoing. So that's the key. You need to build your self-confidence level and feel more secure about yourself. After that, nothing else will seem like a huge deal -- and you'll totally feel comfortable enough to say exactly what you think in front of your friends. Just know that they love you for who you are, so don't be afraid to be yourself!"

Don't forget to check back here tomorrow for more advice. And if you've got a question you want M Girl to help with click here to submit it!

I can be sometimes like that. Or sometimes when my friends say something, I say "that's what I was going to say!", when clearly that was not what i was going to say; I was just thinking it.

oh, I know exactly how you feel! with my friends I always feel like I am the second choice and if I don't say the right thing or something that will make them laugh, they will just sort of trow me away. But, I have come to learn that friends are better than that and if they really are a true friend, they don't care what you say or what you don't say. So I have learned to speak up and just say what my heart feels like saying. And I am never afraid to speak my mind to my best friends!!!!! good luck girl!!=)
