Q: how do i get rid of it? its becoming easier for me to be myself and stuff but sometimes i feel akward and shy. especially around really outgoing people.. i mean normally im not shy and sometimes i wanna just be myself around people like that but then i get like stiff but i dont want them to think im a boring person its just.. idk like some friends i have they are outgoing and stuff but i met them in outgoing situations.. its hard to like get to know someone in the middle of class.. like im trying to concentrate at work and like "making new friends" while getting some info from a book then putting it on paper like.. its hard to do all that and socialize like im not stressed about my work and stuff. and its a bummer because some of those people seem like people who'd be great friends.. i want to ditch some of my not-so-good friends.. so how can a girl who a lot of people think is shy unless they met me in like a comfortable setting where i could act more like myself, and even people who are already my friends.. like some think im kinda shy.. like how can i just break out of that? it seems weird to suddenly stop acting like that.. i mean i try to stop but how can i actually do it? if you get what i mean.. and i never want to be thought of as a poser or anything.. not that i should really care what others think.. but yea. how can i get rid of this uncomfortableness and just be myself 24/7 and stop being so shy at times? 14/f thanks a lot btw!! :) know that your answer will change my life~

okay, so I used to have almost the exact problem, only I was shy in every situation, even outside of school.
I think you should focus on your responses to people now. If you think that something they said was funny, go ahead and laugh.
& if asked a question, try to avoid yes or no answers. Elaborate a little, so that people become interested. Same thing with questions: dont ask yes or no or one-word-answer questions until youre comfortable with someone.
Bad example:
you: hi.
person1: hello.
you: how are you?
p1: fine.
you: so whatsup then?
p1: nothing.
---
good example:
person1: hey, how was your weekend?
you: pretty fun. (smile) I went shopping.
p1: oh really? That's cool. What'd you get?
you: I got a pair of awesome new jellies.
p1: seriously? I've been wanting those for forever!

as for the talking in class thing...learn to multitask. Carry on a conversation while reading and writing at the same time.
Good luck & I hope I helped. :]
feel free to ask if you want more tips or elaboration.
