One of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to speak up more. I have a tendency to just sit quietly and listen to everything going on around me, even if I have something I would like to say.
I do this whether I'm hanging out with my friends, in class, or in small group at Youth Group. I know that in class I'm a little scared to speak up, I am afraid of being judged, its kind of a social anxiety thing, but with my friends and at Youth Group I feel totally safe talking, I just don't say anything.
I want to come up with some ways to prompt myself or give myself courage to just say what I want to say, or to raise my hand in class. I talked to my Youth Group leader about it, and he said that he will make a point of asking me questions in small group, just to help me out a little bit, so that's good. However, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to help me out with this. Any little things I can do to help myself? (link)

I'm in the same boat. It's hard to speak your mind sometimes especially when your in a room with a lot of outspoken people. What I'm learning is that you just have to push yourself a little and move out of your comfortable zone. Voice your opinions more even if you don't feel comfortable. I've been told that the more you do it the easier it gets.
Peace & Love,
