Shy Sista


Question Posted Wednesday July 26 2006, 9:19 am

Only one way to say it: I AM SUPER SHY!!! when someone i don't know comse up to me and says hi (kid or adult) if they older than me, I freeze up. If they are younger, i don't. I guess thats because I'm older......
Even older people (people in their 60's) make me shy, really shy.
Some things though, like the cashier at a resturaunt, im not shy at all. I doin't get it.
NOw, to the question:
Are there any ways I can help myself be less shy around new friends/people?

You need to get this idea out of your head that you are shy. The more you think you are shy, the more you will be shy... its a self-fulfilling prophesy. Convince yourself your confident and that they are people just like you. Just try to pretend you are the same age as them, or older. If you imagine they are younger then you will feel more confident when takling to them.
Force yourself to do it, it will pay off!
Good Luck hun

OMG!!!:) I am the same way i can not talk 2 peps unless i know them and even then its hard.(only if i just meet them).well i live in oklahoma and go to a church. every year we go to a thing called falls creek.Its a 4 day camp.Well there is a thing we all do at this camp its called an iceydate.they sell iceys and you ask a boy to go wit you or the other way around.all my friends asked a boy except me im 2 shy!!! there was a boy that was so cute and his friends told me he liked me 2 but i still could not ask him out.the last night we were ther we went around and just 2 have fun and be dumb we said hi to every person we saw and counted all the peps that said hi back and i was not attition and said wats up 2 him and when i saw who it was i frozze.Then he asked me out and he said yes!!!!!!!:) so do something like that if you have a wild personality like me you just need to let loose and have a little fun.it will give u a lot more guts!!! hoped i hgelped girl!!!L.O.L

A lot of people are shy when they are younger,
because we dont know the person thats talking to us, and it makes us so uncomfortable so we dont know what to say.

See I used to be shy too, but I loved meeting new people, so if they talked to me, I was as nice as I could be back to them!
Force yourself to atleast say hello back!
And ask how they are doing, and then the conversation will ease into getting easier and more comfortable :]

Well I used to be shy too when i was younger , but I just grew out of it , I think the reason I grew out of it was because I was growing up , and you should just belive in yourself more , and be confident , but there is one way to help you become loud and not shy , just like be more socail and outgoing , try to meet new people often , and just hang around friends and talk alot , and then before you know it you`ll be one of those kids that never shuts up (like me) Lol , Good Luck! I hope I helped! &hearts; :]
