Become more outgoing

i used to be painfully shy, but never with my friends. my best friends are super outgoing, and i think that is why they are my friends, cause it brings that side out of me. i have the tendency to just sit back and observe conversations. i always have. what has worked best for me is forcing myself to pipe up in a conversation and say the things i am thinking in my head. i literally have to remind myself to talk all the time, but eventually it has gotten easier and easier to do it, so I’m pretty happy with my progress. I’m still horrible at chit chat and sometimes i just do have absolutely nothing to say to the person or in the situation. ahh,that last sentence makes me sound like such an dull, uninteresting person, but really i am! and when I’m drunk i am the life of the party.. it’s true, I can be a little superstar! haha now i just need to bring that out of myself sober…..
