16/f. im really shy unless i know you REALLY well. i just moved to a new school as well. i hate this because a ton of guys think im pretty then they talk to me and realize i barely talk much and im pretty shy so they dont ask me out. how can i learn to be more outgoing and more social?
angie91 answered Saturday January 6 2007, 4:15 pm: I think that the best way to overcome shyness is to get out there and meet a lot of people. Join a lot of clubs, and try things that you wouldnt usually do, and then ask the kids who know what they're doing how to participate, and that will give you reasons to talk to people which will give them a chance to get to know you better. And then eventually one of the people you know from one club will turn up in another one, and you will have something else to talk about.
It probably sounds kind of scary to go out there and, it is a lot harder than it sounds, but try and jump out and talk to people if you find people in clubs, then you will probably have something in commom, which leaves something for you to do together. I hope I helped you out alittle, just remember that you arent the only shy kid out there, there are lots of us, and the only way to get over it is to try your best to meet more people. So I hope that you can get through this. Good luck!
