Ok so like..Im really shy around guys. I have no clue why. I mean if Im with them for mor than like 30 minutes then Im KIND Of fine. It depends, Some days im not, some days I'am. Anyways, well there's this boy in my Algebra class (I DONT AND NEVER WILL..keep that in mind, k.) && well I barely know the dude and so therefore I'am shy. And the first day I was in his group, soo shy, and he said I was a bitch. BECAUSE, I was being shy && didnt know the RIGHT thing to say back to him...But im really not a bitch..Im soo freggin nice =( lol..So what can I do to not be shy?! ANYTHING..please..please...
Second, if any of your friends have a party soon maybe you should go and enjoy yourself. Talk to the boys and girls. Another thought is to throw a party for you. Invite guys and girls.
Third, talk to the guy that told you this and ask him why he thought of you this way. Once you get his answer you should ask if shyness brings this to their mind. Maybe this guy said that and is just a jerk so maybe you should ignore him.
I know this may not be on your list of things to do, but if you have a boyfriend your social status sky rockets as long as your boy is a popular and hot guy. Boyfriend's are every girl's purse. You may not get that now, but once you have one you'll get it.

Once that guy gets to know u more he wont think your a bitch cos your not.<3 hope i helped!!
good luck

I suspect that you might have a longer settle-down time to get comfy with someone than most. That's okay, it just means you really want to know someone before you trust 'em.
I'm not sure what you DON'T AND NEVER WILL is about, but if you do want to let this erm, bonehead... know that you aren't being stuck-up, then perhaps you could work up the nerve to just say "Hi. How are you today?"
You might want to practice that a bit so you don't think you look silly. If he continues with the conversation, then just relax and go with it. At some point, however, you might want to let him know that you really are shy, and are NOT a bitch. Whatever you do, though, don't just turn beet red and blurt out, "I'm shy!" at random like I did, because that really does look funny.
Also, check to see if there's a toastmasters, drama club, activist club, or 4-H group that you can get involved it, because it's really good that you work out the sjy-thing NOW, as opposed to when you're in collage and just about every class requires some form of oral communication.
