I'm a good looking african american girl who is 5 foot 9. But I don't seem to be friendly and I'm shy. What can I do to change that?

When you meet someone you are interested in talking to and or really want to become friends with this person, just ask them questions about themselves like how are you, what are your favorite sports, favorite movies, favorite music, what are your favorite hobbies or pastimes. Just ask them a bunch of questions as many as you can think of because most people love to talk about themselves.
Good luck!

Do some volunteer work to build your "putting yourself out there" skills. It will help you open up to people. Start with your family and your neighbors and go from there. Plus it makes your heart feel really good. It will show in your personality and people will want to talk to you.

be more outgoing. talk to people. even if you dont know them you can make small talk.
"hi, how is it going?"
"nice day today, its supposed to be like this all week"
stuff like that
i know how it is to be in your position cause i was there once too i wasnt exactly shy i just never knew how to initiate conversation. so i was always mistaken for a shy person. just make small talk and that branches off to conversation then you can get to know people.

Join any local activities. Ex: The "Y", or any athletic group. School activities. Anything to get you out and involved with as many people as you can!!

Smile and eye-contact! Be the first to say hello and show a genuine interest in people. Don't look down and don't ignore people!! :)

Go places and do things that good social crowds are at. Always smile, be curtious, and introduce yourself to people.

Go out and mingle with people,
Talk and play with them,
Be kind to them, and
Understand them.

you can laugh usually and don't care about what other people think about you. if they haven't known you all you're life then they cant judge you:)
