Hi!
I recently became friends with somebody really awesome.I knew him last year but he intimidated me alot.I never talked to him because I was a bit afraid.He changed in the past year.Hes nicer and we talk on myspace alot.But I cant seem to talk to him at school, I get really shy!But I feel its a bit silly to not talk to a friend you see almost everyday...The question is...how do I ease up and talk to him? [Also I might add that I have a tiny crush on him]
Ok, there are two types of shy that I know of, by-yourself-shy and in-public-shy. By-yourself-shy is your basic nervousness when you get close to the person in a private area. In-public-shy is when your nervous to be seen around in front of many people. If you are either of these, participate in the opposite event. Private shy, go public WITH friends, they are important(trust me). If Public Shy, try setting up a place to meet and hang out.
Now if your both, we got something serious to start working out. Shyness is something everyone has to figure out on their own. Why? Because everyone has a completely different event needed to trigger the loss of shyness at different times in their life. I personally dont know(or remember) what my trigger was but after it happened, Ive made many new friends.
But back to you, best thing to do is to plan out some time you could hang with him(whether with him or to yourself(but that might make you feel like a stalker(but thats just my thoughts))) and learn to get over your shyness gradually. Dont do it all at once or it might come back to bite you. Slowly and gradually is almost always the best choice. [ Psycotheis's advice column | Ask Psycotheis A Question ]
