I've always been super shy. I don't really talk to anyone ever. Usually when I'm around my boyfriend I really open up and talk to him. But lately I guess I've started getting kinda shy around him and I really don't know why. Is there anything I can do to help me get over this stupid shyness?

I'm sure he'll be able to boost your confidance and make you feel much better. Alternatively, have you got Hotmail? If you don't, go to www.msn.co.uk and download it for free. By using instant-messaging, you can build up relationships with people where you are not face to face and have time to think about your answers before you reply. This should soon build up your confidence so that it will be easier for you to talk to them when you are actually face to face. Hope that helped.

advicequeen answered Monday January 24 2005, 12:39 am: The best way to get over your shyness is to get to know people, starting with your boyfriend. Although its pretty obvious that you know him already, try just spending time with him - chatting, 'hanging out'...you know just being yourselves with each other. Once you get the practice with him, then start learning to open up with other people as well. Don't be afraid of who you are. Hope I helped!
