How can I stop being so shy?!


Question: I am sooooooo shy. I really do not talk to others because I do not know what to say. Someone has to talk to me b4 I talk to them. A lot of people think I'm stuck up because I do not talk in class. I'm not stuck up I'm just really shy. What should I do? I fear saying the wrong thing.

Just remember that you have nothing to be insecure about. You are great. This you can count on, because I said so, so it is true :-)

You are just as entitled to your opinions as anyone else and you have nothing to prove. You don't judge people harshly, what makes you think they will judge you harshly?

try to gain confidence to your self and trust you instinct

The first step is always the hardest. The question is why are you shy? there is a fear of rejection or an insecurity issue here. I wish you nothing but the best

I sympathize with you... I've grown up a little shy too while in school....
I'd suggest coming up with some topics to talk about and some questions on these topics... things that are common to everyone.. you know like hobbies... music... family.... classes...
Then bring one of these up and 1 question or so.... and chat with some people for a just a little bit and then you can go back to being quiet again.
What this will do is give you some experience getting in the conversations- it will build your confidence... but they will be short enough that you won't feel too nervous... then slowly build up to asking more questions and having longer conversations with people....
Good luck...

Yeah! everyone r shy but the level may differ from person to person ... the reason is wat we think abt ourselves ... If u r confident u can speak up ... if u wanna talk to a person with whom u feel shy, first think them as a gud frend ..then u will talk by urself ... :)

it helped me to imagine how shy -other- people must be too, i just try to remember i'm not the only one who doesn't know what to talk about and has trouble knowing what to say...

also, i keep in mind that most people will attempt to make me more comfortable - very few people are actively trying to make you feel awkward and stuff.

Hi Jessica
My name is well it's best to keep to myself. But to answer your question. How do you get over being shy. You never do; you get older and learn that when you want or need something bad enough you find a way to get it. (boyfriend/girlfriend) Hint Hint. i find it easier to be honest with them and yourself. It's hard to get over shyness. There's no fearful rejection it just life itself. We protect ourself from others. I think you need to make that first move and yes there might be some rejection but thats life. We learn rejection from our parents when they say you can not have that favorite toy or phone. It's the seem thing with life experiences. I hope this helps you in the long run. Sincerely Solo.

every day stand in front of d mirror nd make eye contact and repeat to urself "T am ed best" hope thes helps!! bye@

talk to people.

try doing it ;D

IDK. Maybe you need to try and not be so shy. You're be insecure and worried you won't be liked. If you're able to talk to your friends, then you can talk to other ppl. And not talking up in class isn't necissarily that bad. I never did that either. I still don't talk much when I'm doing a project with others. I pretty much keep to myself.
