Question Posted Saturday September 6 2008, 12:18 pm
So im really shy, its hard for me to start a conversation with boys or girls. Ive tried but i feel like im gonna humiliate myself. And i think my life at home can be pretty boring. MY ex-boyfriend who broke up with me last year always triess to start a conversation with me just says hi and then i say hi he waits for a couple of seconds and he leaves!!!HOw can i become less shy!!?!?!
I used to be extremely shy, and now I'm one of the most outgoing person you'll meet. You need to start by thinking of the things you enjoy. Do you like a certain band? If so go to a concert. If you like arcade games, go play your favorite game. By doing the things you enjoy to do, you put yourself in a setting where there are other people with these same likes. Then what do you have...common grounds (a great place to start a conversation).
Another thing that helped me was complimenting people, but not just any people, strangers. "I love that shirt" "where did you get your hair cut" etc. YOu make people feel good about themselves and you help yourself by learning to approach people you don't know.
You can also go to google and type "SHYNESS TIPS". This will show you some very rewarding websites.
I hope that I helped atleast a little. Let me know how things go!
