Not being able to think of anything to say?!
Question:
Not being able to think of anything to say?
I'm really shy, and I'm trying to become more outgoing. Sometimes, around guys expecially, I start feeling shy, and my mind just goes blank. I'm trying to take little steps in practicing being more outgoing, like psychologists suggest, but it seems like one big step. How can I become more outgoing if I can't think of anything to say?
How can I get past this? Thank you very much!
Answers:
You could try talking to guys on the phone or internet first. Once you have built up a bit of self esteem there, maybe it won't seem like such a big step. The most important thing to remember, is that most people you talk you, "want" to hear what you have to say. They aren't expecting you to be the worlds best speaker, but to just be yourself. I used to be painfully shy, but once I figured out that people wanted to know what I was thinking or wanted my opinion, whether they were guy or girl, it became easier. Good Luck!!
