why am i funny but shy(14-18)?

Talk to people like you already know them.At least the ones that are approachable. Sometimes just by saying their names when you say" hi" like"Hi Jim!" or "Hi, Sarah"..gives other people the feeling that you know them a little bit to and they will sometimes talk back to you.I was real shy in school and it really made it easier to talk to someone when they said my name! My 'thing' was later to say "what are you doin'...?" or just "Heyyy!" As a means of just saying hello!

Usually shy people are funny. It's their way of "breaking the ice". There is nothing wrong with that.

Why not walk up to a group of people that you would like to talk to or be friends with and just start to listen to their conversation. If you have something you could add to it, then do. If they look at you as you walk up, just tell them hi and ask what they are doing.

I was shy and it was always very hard to do, so I know where you are coming from. Just getting the up the nerve to approach the group was painful for me. Eventually I figured out which groups I wanted to be friends with (and don't be surprised if it's not who you first thought you would want it to be too! I wanted in with the "clique", but found out they were so superficial and actually mean and dumb...I ended up friends with the not so popular group and had the most wonderful high school experiences ever! Now when we have class reunions, we all have a good time and all the people in the cliques can't remember all the "fun" things...they remember all the mean things and comment on how much they missed out on!

Good luck!

Even though you might be nervous to talk to people,just put you self out there and just talk to people,you will get over it if you do that.That's how I was,until I just decided being shy was a waste of time and I also used to get so embarassed by the littlest things,that sucked too,but I'm over that because I got over me being shy.My life is SO much better.I'm still a little shy but I'm not like I was,I'm also funny too,people love people who are funny and have fun.

Funny and shy are great qualities!
Keep being yourself and one day you'll find the courage to go up to people and say what you need to.
It just takes living and learning.
Just remember, if someone doesn't like you... somebody else will!!!!
