Hi!, I new club has started at my school, it’s a debate and law club which I’m really interested in and I want to go but I’m really scared because my friends aren’t the most brightest and wouldn’t go with me and I don’t want to go alone! Plus a boy who I dated would also be there so it’s already awkward and what if no one shows up!? But I probably overthinking it so I just need some help 😅

Confidence & motivation

Hey! This actually sounds like such a great opportunity!

It’s completely normal to feel nervous before trying something new, especially if you’d be going without your usual friends.

It might feel a bit scary at first, but joining a club can help you meet new people who do share your interests.

And if it ends up being a smaller group than expected, that can actually make it easier to get to know people!

As for your ex being there, you’re not alone in feeling awkward about that.

Just remember: you're there for you, and you don’t have to interact with him if you don’t want to.

Keep things polite and you'll probably be too focused on the club to even think about it much.

Hope this helps ✨
