Quietness
hey guys, well, i'm really shy. I mean, when I'm with my close friends, it's ok. But around other people, it's not. I'm as quiet as a mouse! I've been trying really hard to be louder, and I did make an improvement, but it's not enough. I need to be totally more outgoing. This year I've become a little bit less shy, but I'm surrounded by really loud, crazy people. I feel like I don't fit in. Are there any tips you have for overcoming shyness? Please help me, and thank you for being cnsiderate.

i'm the exact same way! with my friends, i'm the craziest gal you'll ever meet, but when i'm around new people, or in a new type of situation, i tend to be very closed off and quiet. it can be hard to get over something like this. remember though, you don't need to be loud or crazy to be noticed or for people to like you or think you're outgoing! all you need is a bit more confidence. when you meet someone new for the first time, try smiling and saying a friendly hello. then you can ask them questions about themselves. make sure to make eye contact, and use their name a lot when you talk to them, because that lets people know that you've been paying attention to them.
confidence is really the key to overcoming shyness but really, it's ok if you're quiet and not loud. the loud people may be noticed more and it may seem as though they're outgoing, but they can also be very obnoxious and not well liked. after all, if you met someone for the first time, wouldn't you feel a little bit off guard if they were very loud and in your face. there's a big difference between confidence and loud, and you need to be careful not to confuse the two!
however, if you just try being friendly and interested in the new people you're meeting and you try to keep a positive attitude when you're in a new situation, i think you'll find you won't be as shy in the future!

hey i use to be like you. you just have to learn to be yourself and learn how to like yourself. that was the hardest for me. i had a really great best friend that helped me along the way. he would always say that you shouldnt care what others think and do. you should find someone to help and encouraged you because it helps you be yourself. hope this helps!

You should probably try to duct tape your feet to the ground when somone talks to you. THen you just talk back.

hey. Well i used to be just like you. I used to be wicked shy around the "popular" kids but than i realized..no ones popular, its just a bunch of different kids, some with more friends than others.. but i was okay with that cause i was me. All you have to do is be yourself around these people. I know its hard at first but you get used to it! Ever since i got in 9th grade..ive had a backbone because i hate people walking over me&all you have to do is get into a conversation..thats really all!!
I hope i helpeddddd
