Lizzy answered Monday July 12 2004, 12:36 pm: Some guys really like shy girls. But if you want to be outgoing, don't hide anything, just be open and stuff, introduce yourself to people sitting next to you in class, just don't try to seem eager to be popular. Hope this helps

o0psychicwish0o answered Monday July 12 2004, 12:26 pm: I used to be like that. I would never talk unless i was around my good friends! But i realize that i need to be myslef and not care what everybody thinks. Im me and its going to stay like that! You need to think that if people dont like you then its there problem not yours cause you dont need to change for them! ALWAYS BE YOURSELF dont let the shyness get you!
Hoped I helped! rate me plz*

xmissybootsx answered Monday July 12 2004, 12:15 pm: Just be bold and go up and introduce to yourself to everyone. I know that's hard if you're shy, but try it.. most of em will be pretty friendly, and you might end up being really close with them. If you introduce yourself to everybody, that means you won't have the same little "group" and you'll know tons of of other people. When you're in your classes just talk to the people sitting around you, because chances are, they're just as nervous as you. [ xmissybootsx's advice column | Ask xmissybootsx A Question ]
xo_underneath answered Monday July 12 2004, 11:37 am: I'm the same way! I started 9th grade last year and I was scared to death of not making new friends. Just be yourself. Someone who has your classes will eventually come around to being your friend. =) People I didn't even really like were in my class (we had 5 classes all together both semesters) and they turned out to be my friends. We had two small classes though (8 people lol) and I think that made us bond more and stuff. Good luck with meeting new people! =) [ xo_underneath's advice column | Ask xo_underneath A Question ]
sweetie4143 answered Monday July 12 2004, 11:12 am: I used to have your exact problem too! I'm going into 9th grade and I am just as freaked :) Chances are, you're going to end up sitting next to a girl from a different school and you guys are slowing going to form a friend ship. Other wise, you have to get out there and make friends because a lot of people are just like you! I used to think no one wanted to be my friend, but I was wrong in the end. And, don't worry, in high school, the guys will approach you. And don't worry about going and talking to them! They are just people too! Make some friends first and then you and a few friends can approach the guys in a group so you won't be nervous. This is all I can tell you to do!
Do on to others as you want done to you
You want a friend? Approach one and you'll get approached by more!
