the Negative Emotion

Disappointed and frustrated when your friends criticise and insult you for not meeting their expectations during interaction

 

What you CAN DO

 

1) Learn about the topics that your friends are interested in.

You then will have things to talk about and the conversation will not be so awkward.

 

2) Be more willing to speak your mind and open up yourself.

It is important to let your friends know that you are open and friendly.

If not, they will most likely choose not to be friends with you.

You can start by saying "Hi" everytime you see them somewhere other than the classroom.

 

3) Learn to cope with peer pressure.

Ignore what your friends say when they criticise you.

Do not take the insults into heart.
