First you need to have some faith in yourself. You have to believe you can overcome this before you try to do it.
I'm sure you are really attractive, but you can't see it, so that's where your problem is. Try new styles for hair, clothes, and even make up to bring out those eyes of yours. Magazines like Seventeen, Teen Vogue, ect; have really cool styles and outfits put together that you can try out. When you are happy about your looks, your condidence will shine.
Now, are you interested in anything particular? Horseback riding, dancing, martial arts, drama, writing? There are so, so, so many activities out there and there's bound to be something that you're interested in. You will meet someone there that is interested in the activity you like and you will hit it off. Trust me on this. I just joined a new horseback riding stable after quitting two years ago and I've met some great people already. I'm having fun while leaving my shyness behind!
Just relax, take it on step at a time, and stay true to your heart.
Good luck! [ Emmiekiddo567's advice column | Ask Emmiekiddo567 A Question ]

mn731 answered Tuesday August 21 2007, 11:34 pm: In order to be less shy and insecure, you have to be more confident. From what I can tell, you are not confident in yourself. I know this is so cliche, but everyone is beautiful in their own way. Guys do fall for eyes :)..and button noses aren't bad! Use a straightener for your hair..wear a little makeup (but not too much..you don't want to look like a clown!) Smile more :) Smiling really makes a difference in the way people perceive you. Be confident in yourself. Love yourself..because right now, you don't sound like you love yourself. I know it's not as easy as it sounds..but grow to love yourself. No one wants a negative, person that hates themselves.
Honestly, just learn to be happy with yourself because bitterness is ugly. I'm not saying you're bitter, but you could turn into a bitter person if you keep feeling this hatred for yourself. I'm sure you are not as "ugly" as you make yourself out to be. I bet I could find another thing besides your eyes that are just as gorgeous. :)
Once you achieve self-confidence, you will overcome that shy quality (which isn't always a bad thing!) Trust me, self-confidence is everything. [ mn731's advice column | Ask mn731 A Question ]
