become more outgoing, less shy

Ok, so I am really shy at school. When I try to be outgoing I just can’t no matter how hard I try. I am going to try this! 4 months ago

This might not sound like much but this was a major step forward for me. I talked to the guy I like and I didn’t freeze up! Usually I sound really stupid when I get nervous but today I was calm and made him laugh. He even went out of his way to stand by me in line for lunch. Hopefully this can become an everyday thing :) 5 months ago

I’m a pastor’s daughter so I’m expected to be friendly and outgoing. It came pretty easily for me until I moved. I get really nervous around new or “popular” people which makes me look and sound really awkward sometimes. It also makes me chicken out of stuff I really want to do. I’m a pretty cool person if they would just give me the chance. 5 months ago

I am a shy person. I not really confident. I can get worry in every major matter, I am in a class where I don’t know anyone but they are very friendly. But when they talk to me, I don’t do eyes contact, and just answer them forward when I want to talk I don’t know what to said. 16 months ago

Im so shy, I have like no friends, I have no self esteem and cannot get a boyfriend. If i become more outgoing this will all get better! Hopefully 23 months ago

I remember when I was in elementary and middle school, I would hardly talk to anyone. I even had kids come up to me and ask me why I never talked to anyone! However, I guess somewhere between then and growing up, I started to come out of my shell. I’m not afraid of stating my opinion for the most part and I don’t find it extremely difficult to strike up conversations. However, I do sometimes get quite nervous in uncomfortable situations and I even have a stuttering problem sometimes (which is quite embarrassing :() I don’t know if other people have this problem, but when I am among others who know each other and they are all talking, I find it incredibly hard to enter their conversation, because I don’t know what to talk about! I don’t know if my problem has more to do with being too shy or just not having anything to say, but sometimes it is a bit hard to interact with people and I need to put a stop to that and get out of my little shell. 2 years ago

i’ve always been so shy. i remember once when i was little at church (a small church…like 70 people was packing it), i walked up to my mom and asked her for something. the guy she was talking to was like…man…i don’t want to be rude or anything, but i didn’t know she could speak. i thought there was something wrong with her but i just didn’t want to ask!

i’m not really sure why i’m this way…but i think it’s time for me to put myself out there. i need to stop being so intimidated by situations and just be confident in who i am as a person. what’s the worst that could happen? 3 years ago

I really want to get over this because i am sick of being in the background and not having any life. I hate being afraid of talking to or dealing with people and im so over always worrying about what they think of me. I want to be more cinfident in myself and be happy with the person i am. No idea how im going to do this but you have to start somewhere. 3 years ago
