Getting Over Shyness? Not sure if this is the right category


Question Posted Monday November 30 2009, 4:13 pm

Well, I'm shy.I really want to get out of being shy! I've been this way for as long as i can remember. Now I'm not like, shy shy, like one of those people who hides in a corner and doesnt talk to anyone, but I'm the kind of shy that keeps me from being overactive. I'm hyper and honestly, perverted, at times. I like being hyper but it only lasts for a little while then I go straight back into my shell. I also want to be less shy with my boyfriend and be able to actually have fun with him..any tips?

Divine....

okay that sound so much like how I used to be
only around certain people including family

the reason why your like that cause you only feel confotable around people that you know won't miss judge you or tell you when your to out of control

what I mean by judge is for example myself
I like to be childish sometime so don't none of my family on my mom side think that I mature
so when I visit my dad side they see me as shy but quiet to them it just me being mature in my own way

but how I broke out of my shyness fully was just stop wondering and caring what people including family think why cause there not going to live my life for me and they are not me so the question will remain W?H IS ME? as long as you continue you to be shy of what others including family think....

What you need to do is be who you are around everyone else. Be the goofy perverted kid that you know you are and don't give two shits about what others think. that's what they're doing right and you aren't for starters.

Your outgoing classmates probably fear being judged so much that they could care less about what you do or say. Be who you want to be and let the chips fall where they may. Don't be wild and crazy all the time but be serious, reserved etc. when called for.

This is the only way to handle it to stop being fearful of how others may think and just be you otherwise you'll forever be miserable. If I were you I would sign up for student council, clubs and above all take drama.

It will teach you to be more open and clicking with others more. You can't be shy in drama class. As far as your boyfriend goes he already likes who you are. If you trust him no matter what just be spontaneous and aggressive as you need to be without thinking about it. That's the only way to lick your problem.

Well,
It isn't always bad to be shy. Sometimes people talk too much, and that isn't all that great either. But the good news is that you can be less shy! :)

Do you ever feel like there are awkward silences? You can talk about absolutely anything, think about it, the world is filled with things to talk about. When meeting someone new you start talking about something in common like the class you are in, or the music you like. Did something funny or interesting happen to you today? Feel free to share! Share your laughter or your despair. Sometimes life seems at a low point, and in that case you should talk to someone about your feelings.

I feel as you do sometimes: shy. Sometimes it's because I don't feel one hundred percent confident in myself and I get scared. But all it is is fear. And I'm guessing you are a teenager like me. The thing I've realized is that life isn't always going to feel great all the time. Sometimes we get hurt and don't feel that great about ourselves. But there's a whole world out there!

Talk to your boyfriend about your day, about your life, hobbies, whatever you feel like saying :). And be spontaneous! Go somewhere fun! Do something you haven't done before. My last relationship failed mostly because I didn't know how I was supposed to act. I didn't realize all that time that all I needed to do was be me, and be fun. Fear overtakes us. But it won't overtake you anymore, because you want to change it and you will. Talk, listen, and forget about what others think. You'll soon find yourself opening up. Take care <3
