I'm super shy and i need help with something?!
Question: i think i have an alright personality but i'm scared to show it because i guess i'm so scared of rejection i'm more quiet and only talk when i think of something to say. which isn't a lot. people try to talk to me all the time and i talk back it's just fake or really quiet where they always have to say, "what?" and i never know what to say and i feel really dumb. is there any way for me to be less shy? :(

i use to be like this very badly, but once you realize that people just look as you as another person, you get over it, talk to people, dont wait for them, initiate a conversation, speak loud and clearly, people want to hear you, i use to have a problem with getting in front of lots of people and speaking, but once you do it a few times you relax and realize its not so bad, they look at you in the same way you look at them, just normal
talk up in the first place so they don't have to say "what?"-i can relate
Exactly what the guy above me said. Once u get past it and just open up it'll change. U can start small talk to a diff person of more than one each day start a conversation. It'll work
Good Luck!!
Whether you know it or not, your personality is already showing and I bet it's a nice one. I think you may be shy about opening up in front of people, but that's also a part of your personality. The good news is this is one area of a person's make up that you can actually do something about. You can take a public speaking class or join a debate team which would put you in a position where you can't just clam up or be part of the wallpaper. You need to show everyone what a great person you really are! A little scary, but just put yourself out there for everyone to see and Good luck!
