Question Posted Wednesday September 27 2006, 9:34 pm
Well.. normally Im a pretty outgoing, like laid-back kinda person.. not too laid-back, but I'm comfortable. Like around my family, and close friends. I'm really energetic and stuff, which is like the complete opposite of how I am in school. I dunno, but in school people usually see me as like a shy, quiet girl when my personality really isnt like that. like sometimes i feel like i shouldnt say some things, when its like my opinion.. i mean i raise my hand in class etc and im a good student, and i dont want to like fail or whatever, but i want to be as easygoing and more comfortable in school like i am in school and stuff, because sometimes it stops me from being friends with people and stuff when i know i'll get along with them and stuff. i guess it takes some time to know me.. and because of my softspoken and quietness in class, i got put in speech cause the teachers couldnt hear me when i could pronounce like all the words. i dont get it.. its like my voice kinda lowers and seems kinda dull and boring when i speak well sometimes, and like everyone in the class hears what i said except the teacher, of course. i mean sometimes i even pretty much shout it, and some kids like mumble and the teacher hears the mumble but apparently is deaf to me speaking?!? like i always have to repeat stuff. i mean seriously.. maybe i should just not care about what people think cuz sometimes i wonder if i say something like really weird i dont want to be labeled like that, when people like my friends really know me and wouldnt judge me like that. and ya i love myself and stuff but i dunno why i do that. i try to stop doing it and be like more outgoing every day, but sometimes i feel less like a kid and more.. like strict and junk, when i dont want to entirely be that way, and like be more flexible and stuff. i guess i'd like tips on how to be like.. more comfortable in school and stuff? or overall. thanks a junks for helping! =]

But just speak up and people will soon get used to it, lots of people are shy but some of the people who are most shy are the loudest because they feel they need 2 b. Just be yourself and your friends know who you are and theyre the ones that count if you end up wanting to please everyone then youre ging to end up compromising yourself for them.
Youll get used to speaking louder and it isnt going to just happen over night just keep trying and im sure youll get the hang of it
hope i helped

But then i relized that i hated being shy because im really outgoing. So i tyred to be more outgoing, like talk to more pople and make jokes and stff like that. I relzed that kids liked that wy better, and i made a tonn of new friends from it. SO basically you just need to let go. I know its hard it took me a year to be more outgoing, but in the end its so worth it. Also chances are that everyone will ike the real you better.

AND SAY WHAT YOU THINK! really. the cool people will respect you for it. don't worry about being labled. just chill. it's not that hard. i though it was but it's not. so just be yourself would you.

saleeha answered Thursday September 28 2006, 7:56 pm: well in my opinion you just need to see school as a regular everyday thing. You know like communicate with other people. ask them for help give them help. You need to contact with other people and realize that everyone is just like you. everyone has their own fears. When you give an answer in class, you should be proud to say it. say it loud and proud. lolz i'm sounding sorta wierd rite now. Overall, you just need to communicate more and pretend that school is just like your home and your classmates are your sisters and brothers. the teacher...well what can i say, she probably just hates her job lolzz. hope i helped :):) [ saleeha's advice column | Ask saleeha A Question ]
