Dear Teentalker,

However, always trust your instincts or how you feel internally while hanging out in different groups and take a decision accordingly.
While socializing and spending time with family or friends, reflect through the following:
How does this person/s make you feel about yourself? Do you feel at ease, feel calm, have that inner peace or do you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, inferior or worthless? Make a note of when are you likely to feel that way and with whom. That will give you some much needed clarity.
