I'm been bouncing up and down with my self confidence. I just truly wish i was less shy....I am talk I am black im smart and its hard to feel comfortable with myself and feel normal. How can i jus loosen up im kinda up tight and it bugs me but i jus wish i was more comfortable how can i do that? Please dont jus say let loose and love urself its easier said then done.
It seems to be the same thing for you. You quite a self-conscious person and you're constantly worrying about how you look or how people will react to you. What I did was to step right out of my comfort zone and did things which I thought I would never do before.
I would also recommend a book which is written by Debra Fine called "The Fine Art of Small Talk" which I also used to help me.

so sorry if this isnt the best advice but usually you're more uptight the more you think and the only way to not think and let loose if to feel comfotable, which seems to be hard fro you too.
so usually when im around friends the easiest way to let loose is to listen to music, trust me it helps a lot! if you sing to it, even if its out of your comfort zone you can act goofy with it or w.e you want, but it should help a lot. try it!
and boosting ur self confidence level, im like that too. you just learn to live with it and think about how blessed you are and the good things you have in life compared to others.
