I was bullied a few years back, and I guess it made me pretty mistrustful of people.. because before then I used to have best friends and I was a lot more outgoing/talkative. But now (I'm 17) I've become a lot quieter and tend to go my own way a lot, and have difficulty opening up to people about any problems I have. I do have a group of friends and school but none of them I can really talk to about anything as I get anxious they might secretly not like me or be annoyed by me.. so I'm very quiet even around them and as a result I'm not close to any of them anymore. This makes me get pretty depressed and I want to change but it's hard just amending your personality.. I'm hoping that when I go to university next year I'll be able to make new friends easier but I dunno..
any advice??

I feel the same way, and I thought the same thing. But going to college didn't change anything for me. It really is hard to become more open, but were just introverted people. Thats not a bad thing, you really know yourself and focus on more serious things. Do you enjoy one on one conversation with people you know better than group conversation with a lot of people you don't know?
be yourself and give ppl a chance to get to kno you better and 4 you to kno them better b4 you judge.

just think that when you go to college ull be able to have a brand new start and none of those people will know you so its ur chance to make a great impression and you can be whatever type of person you want cause no one knows the real you
