SweetxxIntoxication answered Sunday October 23 2005, 4:01 pm: i am really shy too. or well, i was.
what i did was gain confidence in myself but working out, and just started out with small talk and just smiling at people so i looked approachable. the more people who approached me and talk with me the more i sorta overcame my shyness
hope that can work for you ♥ [ SweetxxIntoxication's advice column | Ask SweetxxIntoxication A Question ]

You should try public speaking classes, student council, drama where you are forced to speak and get to know people. Think of it this way you are a smart young person and people want to know what you have to give. Just talk to them and forget everything else. It's just like talking to people you know.
Try taking a risk each day and sit with someone new at lunch and talk with them. None of these people will bite you. In fact they are probably wondering if you are approachable or not and are scared to come to you because they think you are avoiding them.
Short of talking with people there is not a whole lot you can do besides taking drama, extra-curricular, student council and other programs forcing you to get to know people. Don't be upset with this idea maybe seeing a therapist and trying to figure out why you cannot socialize easily would help. There's always something mental about this and perhaps other kids bullied and hurt you etc. [ GDROB2's advice column | Ask GDROB2 A Question ]
