"Wing it" is what i say. just speak you mind the way you wish, and people can't tell you otherwise, what are they going to say? that your beliefs are wrong? no no one will mess with your thoughts. and if that doesn't work just try to be more social and try to accomplish talking to others everyday. and soon you will be very outgoing, and don't forget to have plenty of self confidence. people can tell...
CrimsonAngel answered Saturday November 27 2004, 1:04 pm: I used to be just like you so i know exactly what you mean. I think the only cure for this is growing out of it. I'm begining to grow out of and i'm starting to act totally different. I do things i would never normally do, and i love it. Just start to work at it and you'll gradually grow out of it.

If people don't like you for you they r missing out on a great oppurtunity! Good Luck! [ cntrygrl2010's advice column | Ask cntrygrl2010 A Question ]
MKCheer085 answered Friday November 26 2004, 1:30 pm: Just let go...dont think about what ppl are going to say about it or anything...if they dont like it too bad...even sometimes its better to just stick with the friends that you cna act naturally around...they might be the best friends afterall and you dont need to worry about these others....just try and be youreslef and if youre naturally quiet DONT CHANGE for other ppl [ MKCheer085's advice column | Ask MKCheer085 A Question ]

Eventually just by talking with them on topics you relate on, you'll be able to act silly and be hyper around them. They'll have seen the real you when it comes to being serious, and chances are you'll feel a lot better and less shy and that's when your silliness can shine through. Just try to chime in your two cents here and there, and eventually it will get easier. Shyness is best shed slowly!
x0Lallyp0p answered Friday November 26 2004, 2:09 am: talk about your intersts with others..doing this you may learn to find that you and a lot of other people share a lot in common! In yer question you said that you were shy and quiet sometimes..now let me ask you a question..are you shy and quiet? is that who you really are? ask your closest friends what they think of you..do they consider you loud? or quiet? go around meeting new poeple as yourself! x0Lallyp0p [ x0Lallyp0p's advice column | Ask x0Lallyp0p A Question ]
AsKmE135 answered Friday November 26 2004, 1:07 am: Im the same way sometimes. Just try to be friends with people who are outgoing and do most of the talking, then it will be easier for you to talk too. And you wont feel as much pressure to make conversation. Im really shy but for some reason i find that being friends with really loud, outgoing people is easiest and brings out the outgoing side in me. :-) hope i helped!

Roxy_Babe_kiss answered Friday November 26 2004, 12:41 am: It's hard to be outgoing! I admit everyone struggles with it but if it's what you want you HAVE to try! Just go up to someone you don't know and start a conversation everyday...eventually it will get easier. [ Roxy_Babe_kiss's advice column | Ask Roxy_Babe_kiss A Question ]
