im really shy & im starting high school so i wanna make many new friends, girl and guys. what can i do to overcome my shyness atleast just a little bit so i can make a good impression on people? will people come up to me in high school? i'm definitely going to join atleast 1 or 2 clubs, but how i can approach people? also, how can i make guys like me/talk to me? do guys find shy girls attractive and would they approach me or just stay away from me? in the past years in middle school guys seemed to not go near me since they think i "never talk" which is 1000000% untrue. so i wanna have a new start in high school. anyway. sorry so many questions. thank you

If you want to be more confident then only you can make that happen by thinking differently.
For example, i have just started back at school and they are giving us loads of presentations in front of the class. Now, i can either sit there and have a panic attack (hehehe) or i can get over myself and just get it over and done with whilst it is only in front of 20 or so people as opposed to 1500 at university.
The thing is, i know what a nightmare life is when you are shy. Its fucking horrible. But you could make life so much easier for yourself if you just stopped being shy. You can do this! because shyness is just a psycological thing. You learn to be shy therefore you can learn not to be shy but to be confident. You just need to calm down and think more confidently and just not care about what people think, if you do then you will only be miserable and shy.
