Question Posted Thursday June 26 2008, 11:10 pm

Hi! Well I hate that I am so shy the first time I meet someone. Whenever I meet someone for the first time I am ridiculously shy especially when its a cute guy, and I don't really know why because once I know the person I am COMPLETE opposite! Its hard for me to approach a guy that I think is cute the first time I see him, like everyone i guess i get nervous, but i'm just tired of that. Many of my friends can just go up to a guy and say 'hi, i'm so and so blah blahh' but i just cant. I guess my problem is like a lot of other girls i'm afraid of rejection and I am self conscious. with the whole self conscious thing the problem is when i want to approach a cute guy, i get intimidated by other girls in the room who i think are better than me and i start to think, why would this guy want to talk/dance with me when he could talk to all these other better girls. and really im not normally this self conscious its just when im around guys im first meeting, thats why i cant figure out why im so shy. please help me find a way to become confident! THANKS!

You just have to ignore that little voice in your head. Seriously, if a guy didn't want to talk to you, he'd probably make an excuse to leave, or you'd be able to tell. Also, talk to guys even if you aren't interested in them romantically. For example, I'm friends with mostly guys now. A few years ago I was afraid to go near them. Despite most of my friends being male, I'll never understand how they think, but oh well. Those friendships made me more comfortable talking to them, and made me realize that they're just people who happen to have a Y-chromosome.


Try talking to guys in a group of mutual friends, or like I've said, ignore your shyness. If you have to, act like you already know them [at least enough to talk to them normally].


But everyone's shy when they first meet new people, so don't worry too much about letting your true personality show after that first encounter.


Unless you go from sweet cute girl, to crazy psycho bitch stalker girl, it's not a bad thing to reveal your true self and won't likely scare anyone off =P Surprisingly, guys sometimes get nervous around girls they think are cute, too!
