Question Posted Wednesday December 22 2004, 6:30 pm
Whenever I'm around guys I get really shy and don't have much to say and then I get insecure and it's hard to be myself. So now all the guys at my school probably think I'm like really snobby or stuck up or something because I'm so quiet. Like there have been a few guys this year that have tried to be friends with me, but I just didn't know what to say around them, so they just kind of stopped talking to me. Help!!!

To keep talking to them, get a s/n if you haven't already, and this boosts friendship to the maxx, because you dont have to see them when you talk to them and it gives you time to think up something funny or good to say. Hey, you can do it! Go up to those guys you havent talked to in a while and say hey! come on.. Boys are people too, you know? try to make this big deal *something smaller* Hope i helped, and GOOD LUCK! [ nicoleluvzae's advice column | Ask nicoleluvzae A Question ]
AdInA answered Thursday December 23 2004, 1:16 am: i went through that stage.. just try not to care so much of what they think! that's your problem.. once you stop worrying about what they think about you, you will be able to open up with them more. soon enough, you will find a guy who likes you even when you are being yourself!

FunnyCide answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 9:40 pm: dont worry, i am the same way. i have trouble trusting guys, and i am fairly quiet. i get pretty shy and insecure too. basicly, i started with one really good friend (a friend that was a girl) who i totally trusted. we worked on it, and she helped me open up to guys some. basicly you kinda have to put yourself out there and talk a little. if it is easier for you to type out what you are thinking and want to say, get a guys IM screen name or e-mail address. if all else fails, hang out with some friends who hang out with guys. it might feel weird, like you are a 5th wheel or whatever, but it might help. you will probly open up some if you feel more comferatable around a guy. yeah, its kinda hard, and its kinda weird, but it is possable. dont feel like you have to act a certain way, you know, snobby or like a comeadian. just try your hardest to be yourself. if you develop friendships with guys, serious friendships - not a "call you when i forget the math assignment" thing, someone you really talk to, than you will find it easier to open up to guys. i have a few guy friends, and it was kinda weird at first cause i have never hung out with guys before, but they are great. just dont get caught up with the wrong crowd. choose your friends wisely. be careful not to set yourself up for heartache. you dont have to be looking for a boyfriend, just a friend at first. God will send the right guy down your path when he deems fitting. :) good luck!
