stop being shy

all my life ive been shy and self conscience. i was watching home movies of my family and u would always see me in the backround not interacting with other kids. i guess i was shy. my self conscience started well i guess ive always been that way i was always taller and chunkier then everyone else in class, i used to be made fun of because of that in kindergarten. i guess it stayed with me my whole time. when i start middle school my traits developed even more when the cool kids made fun of my clothes and i was really quiet. i had very few friends in class. now im 18 outta highschool…and see all my highschool buddies are doing other things and im mostly home everyday…on the internet or just hanging out with my sister. this could get really dull and repetitive. so what i want to do is make friends if not many atleast one that lives near me and i could go to their house when im bored…someone give me advice please…thankyou!

i have worked my self out of being as shy as i used to be, atleast in some situations. but i am still often very shy, like when im around groups of 3 or more, not including me, i pretty much dont talk at all, friends or not. however when im with 1 or two people i talk a lot. also the one thing that i have not been able to force my self out of is my shyness around girls that i like, and the ability to ask them out or whatever. whenever i do talk to girls they always see me as “just a friend”, which makes it very difficult to find a girlfriend… i hate being shy…

i mentally slap myself everytime i act shy in front of others. I need to snap out of it

being shy is really ruining my social life..
its weird though when im with my close friends im crazy and fun and like to make stupid jokes not caring wat they think. but when i get to school everything changes and i get super shy and barely talk to anybody and they always bother me about that and ask y im so quiet..im in high school and i need to have a life and enjoy the time i got their..how can i stop being soo shy? help me!

being shy feels like i’m the only person in the world that uderstands me. people think i’msycuk upor mean but really i’m just to shy to speak. my biggest problem is going up to a group conversation and just start talking or rasing my hand because i’m to afraid i’ll sound dumb or weird. I feel like i’m letting my teen years fly by while everybody is having fun i’m stuck being a self concience loner. I want to change. now. being this way has shut me out from real life in my perspective…...idk what to do anymore :/

I am going to make new friends since I’m starting at a new college for the first time. At my old school I was so shy, nobody knew my name and I wouldn’t turn up to present an oral presentation despite the fact it affected my grades alot! I’m the person who sits at the back of the class and doesn’t go out on the weekends. I am determined to make friends and not give a sh*t what people think of me.

Its hard to come out of you shell, I try to be more out going but its even hard to do that, my personality just doesn’t allow I’m just naturally recluse and wish i could help it. It doesn’t help the i get vertigo whenever i am in large crowds and places with very high ceilings. I also find it to be physically exhausting to be in large crowds like I’m having a anxiety attack.

i jus wanna be able to make friends as easily as other people and not let my shyness stop me from having fun.

So far I’m talking to a few people at school, not really progress considering that I stopped going to the anime club meetings.

I was invited to go to an anime convention with a friend from school, but its a three hour drive and at least fifty dollars for everything. I’m still considering though, because I really would like to go.

I’m also considering going back to anime club meetings, just because I know another friend that’s starting to go to them as well.

I’m not AS shy now, but I’m not as talkative as everyone else! That’s for sure. I think I could still work on this goal.
