school, etc...


Question Posted Monday August 23 2004, 5:54 pm

School is starting REALLY soon and I'm soooooo freaked out. Everyone considers me the "shyest girl" at school and I don't have many friends because people think I have nothing to say. I want to be more open with people and be myself and not care what they think!! I ALWAYS CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK. That's what always gets in the way of everything, and that's what makes me shy. I'm soo scared of school because I'm not very popular and people tend to pick on me because of my weak voice, and "shy qualities". It's not easy to make friends. One of my biggest problems is also that people tend to think I'm STUPID because of my shyness quality - which I'm NOT - I get honor roll!! How can I make people think I'm smart, that I have something to say, and that there's more to me than what they think...MUCH MORE.

well.. for one... think about who you want to be friends with before you go and try, because some people aren't even worth your time. Also.. try coming back with a new you. A new style, personality, habits etc. On the first day just smile and say hi. I know it will be hard...but you will have to practice coming out and saying Hi to people you don't know. Or if you recognize someone from a class you had last year then just say hey weren't you in my chem. class last year? or sumthing like that. that should strike up a conv. and get things going.. then maybe they can introduce you to ppl etc. Also if you want people to see your smart a good thing to do is raising your hand in class to loosen up. That way your only talking to the teacher and classmates can your smart and maybe someone can ask for your help. Another way of opening up is at lunch. Sit down with some kids that you maybe recognize or a new group and just say hi. Ask how there days been as a good conv. starter or you can talk about the horrible lunch food! lol..that always works.. I say just loosen up a bit and when people make fun of you don't take it...Let them know just who you are and where you stand!...Also flirt with anotherr quiet guy lol.. that way you don't feel any pressure or anything lol...;)


-goodluck-


i hope i helped
