[Nicola]

I'm quite shy in groups and when I don't know new people that well. I lack confidence in myself and think that if people got to know me they won't like me - if I get on with someone and really like them as a friend then it doesn't seem to last that long. Once I get confident in new situations then I'll feel at ease and relate well in groups, often I find myself drawn to one person in particular as I find one-to-one friendships easier to deal with and can open up to one person alone.
