Shyness can easily be mistaken for unfriendliness. People you are unfamiliar with don't know you either, and if they are trying to talk to you, it means they want to get to know you, so look them in the eye, react to what they're telling you, and be friendly and nice!

Its a good thing that your not telling your life story to strangers, but your right being able to talk to new people is important. Try talking about them instead of you, and maybe then you wont be as shy.

try talking in front of a mirror. Be straight up. When people talk to you that you dont know pretend like you know them and just be smooth with it. Speak loud, keep eye contact, and make sure you straighten up your back. People will take you seriously. Just practice what you'll say to people. Soon things will improve, i promise. Good luck hun.. xoxo

Me and my friends play the 'hello' game (you have to b in a crowd of about 6 friends though) you just say hello to random people in the street and score yourselves on how they reply like 'hello' back would be 1 'hello how are you' 1s 5 a smile is half a point and so on the one with the least points at the end of so many people has to buy every1 a drink or something like that its well fun :)
hope this helps XxX wish_piskie

Well i am shy too, its hard to open up to people, but you can have a big sleepover with all your friends (I bet you're not shy then) and tell them, and maybe they will help you out by... say you were at the school dace, and you're hangin' with your crush, maybe your best bud will warm things up for you to get it started and it will be eaiser to talk to him/her. But if you're shy all the time, maybe (like me) you should get into after school activites so you can open up to more people....hope i helped ~tara~

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I was the same way before! But what made me get over it was trying not to care what people thought of me! I used to be sooo self conscious and I always thought I was ugly and no one would wanna be friends with me (not saying that this is the same as with you!) but once I realized that I'm more pushing them away from becoming friends then I started to change. It went little by little and in the beginning I got realllllyyyy nervous because i was "coming out of my box" or whatever! But once you get used to being yourself and outgoing then it ends up being a lot funner to meet new people!! I hope I helped!! I'm always here if you wanna ask me anything!!

Hey that's how I used to be. I just thought to myself, 'Well, I sure wouldn't want to hang around with someone that was shy'. Soo, then I just started to act towards them as if I knew them for a while.

i used to have a friend like that who always told me she wished she were as outgoing as i was lol...but u just have to realize that what you say matters and ppl will listen if you're loud - okay that was a lie - i'm loud and ppl still ignore me but then i bug them until they listen! lol but just be yourself, hang out with your outgoing friends and let them help you open up
