ballerina09becca answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 10:24 pm: Well to tell you the truth, i was the same way. I didnt really have any friends or anything but i started talking to people that i had a lot of classes with and now we're the best of friends. I think would also help, would be joining a sport or club of some kind. Hope i helped! [ ballerina09becca's advice column | Ask ballerina09becca A Question ]
shootingstar25xo answered Tuesday May 10 2005, 6:58 pm: To become more outgoing, I would suggest expressing yourself while still being yourself. Dont act desperate for more friends, and just use your best judgement for cracking a GOOD joke, or just acting silly. hope i helped!

xxKillerQueen answered Tuesday May 10 2005, 6:27 pm: Hm. It might be hard at first, but you have to try and be easy to talk to, and have an open mind. Talk to EVERYONE. And then - be the one who starts things. Like weekend activities. Maybe you could invite people to your house before going out, or plan a trip to the pool or something. If you're the one with the details, people will ask you then right? Having a good sense of humour comes with being confident, so if you believe in yoourself and accept everyone as they are you should be fine. And try not to leave people out if you can.

xdesireex0 answered Tuesday May 10 2005, 5:35 pm: I used to be the shy girl in my class. And now in high school everyone is like, "What happened that that quiet girl, Linda?" lol. It's hilarious. I'm still kind of shy until I get to know someone, but after that it is history. Just start to talk to people and Don't STUDDER!! lol. And speak up don't speak quietly because some of those people may want to actually hear what you have to say. You also have to have thick skin and don't care what people have to say about you!! Hope I helped!

augustagurrl answered Tuesday May 10 2005, 4:32 pm: hey being shy rocks! i mean if you want to be more outgoing..just open up and talk alot. but sometimes people want to be around quieter people. and oh ya, real friends will like you for however you are..quiet, shy, loud etc. you dont necessarily get friends for being outgoing, and sometimes you even lose friends. i would just stick with being yourself.
sorri if it doesnt help

girlygirl answered Tuesday May 10 2005, 4:31 pm: Good question, i've been working on it for years!
Poise and good manners certainly help, and asking relevant questions and Really listening to people when they answer.
You can also practice by yourself... just saying "thank you" or "it was so nice to meet you" takes some practice.
When you go out to a party, make sure you're wearing what you look nice in, but feel really comfortable in too. [ girlygirl's advice column | Ask girlygirl A Question ]
CoUnTrYgUrL77 answered Tuesday May 10 2005, 4:10 pm: well, I am a Really outgoing person..all I do is talk to people for no apparent reason, Like if someone is new just walk up to them and introduce yourself etc. I also tend to tell jokes, whether they are funny or not...most of my friends/people that know and like me like this...that is all that I can think of....I hope I helped!!
