I need some advice. You see, I'm kind of shy. Actually, very shy. I'm not shy around my closest friends. But around other people, I am. How can learn to be myself more? I want to open up and not worry about what other people think of me. Can you please tell me how to do that? Thanks. Oh yeah, and please don't say "shyness can be good at times," because that's not really helping me. Thanks

I am very shy too, especially around adults. I just pretend like they are a family friend and it helps talk to them. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]
TimmyTM answered Wednesday November 30 2005, 3:24 pm: I had that issue. I thought I was shy. I've since concluded that shyness doesn't exist. Instead of resigning yourself to shyness, pay attention to your inner monologue when you approach social situations. My brain would tell me that I'd say something stupid, or that this person doesn't want to talk to me.
It's so stupidly simple, confidence cures shyness. Yet, there isn't much more to it. If you need to talk to someone, you do.
Though. I can't say I WANT to approach people these days. I just don't care. Ha. I still keep to myself because most people are kind of not worth it. [ TimmyTM's advice column | Ask TimmyTM A Question ]

So say outgoing for instance just act happy and your feel bubbly already.
good luck! [ ShYbl0nD3's advice column | Ask ShYbl0nD3 A Question ]
