i wonder if it helps to just say “yes” like in the movie Yes Man…
and then repeat to yourself the whole time “just have fun” and things like that

How to be more outgoing
It made me
Opportunistic
 "I discovered what helped me to break through my shyness. "
How I did it: I realised that I have a good sense of humour, I can make people laugh. So to break through my shyness I would crack a joke. It didn't always work but did most of the time and people would talk to me. I have also found it necessary to force myself to start conversations and into situations where I have to talk and be outgoing, particularly networking situations for my career, as if I don't talk here I won't be remembered and possibly employed, so I have to. It worked for me. Lessons & tips: *Try to be humorous or make a joke and people will think you are not as shy. *Force yourself to start conversations and go into situations where you have to talk. It's like throwing yourself in at the deep end, I know. But it shows you that it's not so bad. *Try to talk to others even if you kinda already know them. Breaking down a barrier at a time is the best way, then it's no so bad when it comes to speaking to strangers.

Confident!
How I did it: Nothing too complex. I overcame my shyness by doing it, and getting into it. Usually it takes me a bit to get in the right mood, but after I do I am ready to go. You can't think about it, or it will grow and grow until you decide against it. You must force yourself into social situations. You can contemplate it all you want, but you will never know what it is for real until you dive straight into it. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well this method may not work for everyone, but for me, I transfered schools. (Long story)But anyways, doing this it was either be to scared to talk to 1,800+ people, or talk to people and make friends. Luckily, I was also too excited to be shy, lol.People would talk to me and I'd smile and talk to them as if I already knew them. It helped a little. I'd also randomly go up to people and talk to them as well. Heck, I asked someone I knew f… Read how I did it…

Wellll, I just started talking to people, mostly the ones that sit next to me in my classes. Most people are willing to talk if you start the conversation. =]
I am normal

I would say that I am a pretty normal person. I have never had trouble talking to people and developing friendships, but I would say that I am not outgoing… I want to be more friendly and outgoing from now on!

So I have a hard time making new friends. This seems to be pretty common, a lot of people are shy or have low self esteem, and I suffer from both afflictions to varying degrees, but what really keeps me out of social circles is the phone. I have an unique disability that prevents me from ever asking potential friends for their personal information. God forbid I somehow manage to end up with some ones contact info I always assume people already have stuff going on and I really don’t like to inconvenience people. Also I work from home so I have no “colleagues” to for beers with after work.

i’m usually around people that i don’t really like or the ones that are annoying. so, i don’t really talk to them. but when i’m with someone who seems pretty cool and i don’t know them too well i’ll talk and goof off. but there are lots of times when i just don’t want to talk to people at all. i want to get out there! i don’t really know what to say sometimes too and when i do say something i’ll either confuse that person or say the wrong thing. i usually stay home now. i just don’t really talk much so people will just walk away or something.

I hate being so shy and quiet around strangers. It takes a long time for me to become comfortable with people, and that’s why it’s so hard to make new friends. I never know what to do or say (and when I do open my mouth, I always seem to say the wrong thing.) I just feel so awkward all the time. I’ve been trying to be more outgoing ever since I started college, but I just can’t bring myself to start a conversation with strangers (especially at parties.) Ugh, I hate myself sometimes. Will I ever be able to change?

I used to be a really shy little girl. Then i got a little more outgoing. when im in front of a big crowd i have no problem with anything. when im just hanging with my friends i talk and talk and talk. but when i meet new people i get really shy. i want to meet new people without being shy at first.

Sure, I’m loud around some people. But, so very quiet around others. I need to talk to more people, the more people you know, the more diverse your knowlage will be.
