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?

DefinedEyes answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 11:37 am: 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 :]

I hope I helped! ♥ :] [ xo_minela's advice column | Ask xo_minela A Question ]
