What to do?
Since atleast middle school I have made bad impressions on people who don't know me. I am an extremly shy person when I first meet someone and it comes off as being snobbish. I know that is the way I act but it is so hard to change it. I am also worried that the relationships I have made recently might not be able to be recovered because they already have that other me stuck in their head.
The question I have is, has anyone else had that kind problem and how they overcame it.
The reason I am asking is because my boyfriends family members (some of them) have not really liked me because of these impressions. I really want them to like me but I don't know how to get over my shyness. I know people say just don't care what they think and be yourself but it feels like there is something stopping me. I have had more than one of my current friends tell me that that is the reason they second guessed being friends with me and I just really don't want that to happen anymore. Please help me find a way to get over my shyness?

Seems like alot of people have this problem and theres not alot you can do except let time have it's course. One thing you can do is be more socialable and easy going. It's hard to give "good" impressions to people you don't know. Just try and be out there and friendly as you can because alot of people mistaken shyness with snobby or selfish , but you just need to prove them wrong and smile. Don't be afraid to just go up to anyone and be yourself. Noone likes people who ignore them or disregard them. Hope I helped. :] Good luck!

oh my goddd i have exactly the same problem. but it's because people dont realise youre being shy right?
so maybe try smiling a little bit more because that always seems nice. then just walk over to people and try talking to them. ask questions about THEM because then they'll focus less on you.
compliment them because everyone likes that. just try and be extremely nice because then there is no reason not to like you, and you wont seem snobbish lol try asking classmates out for pizza or throw a party. how is that a badthing ? :)
overcoming shyness is really hard and i myself have problems with that cos i'm probably one of the shyest person ever lol but i've noticed that whenever i feel good about myself it's less hard for me to talk to people because i'm not too afraid they wont like me you know? and if you constantly think that nobody likes you, you feel bad about yourself which might show. so why dont you try letting all that go, take a deep breath and go up to people and talk to them. :)
hope i helped a little
