really shy.
okay, well. i started a new school back in like, September. and I still dont' have many friends. I have a group of people i talk too and stuff, but i kind of want to make friends with other people too. I'm normally really shy and hate to start conversations. and i'm always afraid of messing up or embarrasing myself.
any tips on how not be shy?

I am experienced with this kind of stuff. I use to be super shy. But now Im like super outgoing! Heres what I did to get over it:
Start by talking alot at home. If you get use to talking outloud, atleast you will know how to do it! Also, in conversations, when somebody says something, make a small comment on it or something. That is how you get use talking in a crowed. Don't be afraid to speak your mind.
And also remember this: Who cares if you embarass yourself? Its really hard to do that, It seems easy to say something stupid, buts its not! I mean, if I or one of my friends say something stupid we just laugh at ourselfs! Im a bit dizty, I wont lie, so Im use to being on the stupid side. In fact, people call me "blonde in diguise" because Im brunnette but ya know. The bottom line is that embarassing yourself is pretty hard to do, but saying something stupid[[in the right time]] is pretty hard to do.
Hope I helped!

I am really rather shy but what i find with people i dont know i think that "people love to talk about themselves and everyone has a story to tell" soo to start off with i usually find myself listening to them and asking alot of questions and this is how i get to feel more comfortable aroung them and then i find its easier to talk about myself and then if you continue to listen then it should be less nerving about feeling like you may mess up! And everyone messes up and if you say something wrong then just pass it off as a joke! it usually works and its helps with your self confidence i find!!
I really hope this helps and good luck with the friend making!!

same here. i'm like the shyest girl everrr.
what i do, is just smile when other people say something funny. then maybe they'll talk to you and continue whatever was funny. also, it's not all about humor, if someone else looks depressed or whatever the reason is, just go up to them and say hey, how are you or something. i know that takes tons of guts. well for me it does at least. but look on the bright side, i'm positive you'll have friends sometimes SOON.
