Overcoming Shyness
I'm a really shy person, and that makes social things hard for me. People automatically assume I am prude and just don't talk to me. When people DO get to know me, they tell me that they are completley suprised and they can't believe they had never talked to me. Do any of you have suggustions on tips to be less shy? I'm really trying to overcome it

I'm shy too, so your not alone. Trying to make friends is hard, but you have to try at least. Go to some girls and just talk. During class, ask to borrow things and stuff; if you can. If you can't, try to win their trust. Don't be shy, and talk to people around you asking what to do and stuff. I've overcome my shyness, and you can too.

I was uberly shy when I was 10ish. I barely talked to people and just waited for people to come to ME and talk. And then it seemed ridiculous that I was holding back so I started to talk a little bit more and it felt awesome
I suggest that you go to parties or something and intoduce yourself to a lot of peple. Say hi, I'm [your name] with a firmhandshake
dont' be discouraged when you see a group of people. No on'es gonna bite your head off when you introduce yourself.
So be bold and freindly

hey i'm shy just like you. obviously you have a great personality underneath your shyness as people have told you, and they can't understand why you are hiding it. my suggestion is to open up a little more than you normally would to friends and acquaintences. tell them some things about you that you haven't told them before. talk to new people, who might not expect you to talk to them. once you expand your social network and get over your shyness and insecurities people won't assume that you are shy!
love always

im pretty sure everyone is shy at one time or anything. it's normal to be shy around people you don't know, but your friends?? definately shouldn't be shy around them. let yourself go. be yourself. there's no reason to be shy. i think you should let people know you as you. be friendly. say hi, talk to them, etc. you shouldn't be shy, because what if the other people are?? you'd want to loosen them up a bit too right?? juss be yourself. no one can ask for more than that.
-hope that helped!♥
