How to become more sociable in school?

Question

This year i am going into my junior year of highschool, and i wanted some advice on becoming more socialable. All through my school career i have been shy and known as "the quiet girl" I guess this is because i always get nervous about what people wil think of me. But this year i want to change this. Any suggestions on how to acomplish this?

Answer 1

One thing to realize is that everyone feels insecure, even the ones who seem confident and outgoing. Another thing to realize is that when you are shy, some people may interpret your quietness as indicating that you don't like them or are rejecting them or you think that you are better than them, even though this is far from the truth. Try to put yourself in situations where talking is more natural -- join a club, especially one that does social service projects where you can get out and do things with people. Also challenge yourself just to make simple conversation with people, someone sitting next to you in class, "How did you like that assignment?" or someone standing in the cafeteria line, "Do you think that stuff is really edible?" You want to break down the barriers. Every overture won't lead to a deep conversation, but putting yourself out there a little bit every day will help make you seem more open and approachable.

Answer 2

i do no longer comprehend the way you need to be so shy and then so ambitious, i'm stumped. perhaps it relatively is a miracle, did you say a prayer or somebody else say prayer for you? I say right for you, and that i want you the superb on your last college years. i've got self assurance that teenager a while must be extraordinarily venerated. they are human beings only beginning out in existence and that they've a real baby like faith. I have a good time with them and that i not at all think of low of their questions.

Answer 5

good idea to start the first year and not the last. open your mouth trust me it works. my mouth works overtime and my friends won't stop calling. literally. so listen, the first few months dont say anything about anybody because you dont know who is related or best friends or worst enemies. and the best way to meet people is to play sports, arts and crafts, have hobbies, you get my drift... so hope this helped

Answer 6

yea, I had a friend like that but now she is starting to break out of her shell. Just have a little more confidence and some good self esteem and you'll be fine. Trust me!

Answer 7

Don't worry about what others think of you....No one is better than you. Everyone on earth is unique in their own way so be proud of what you are and appreciate that. And try to make friends....

Answer 8

School is for learning. The easiest way to get popular is to have something others want. Good sharp clothes will get people to come up to you wondering where you got your clothes (if you are poor do it to others) and they don't have to be expensive. You can get obscure band T-shirts for like $15). Sing catchy obscure songs like Von Bondies Not That Social so people would come up to you wondering the name of the song. Know what alternative books and films are out there so you can be the center of attention (If they already saw The Titanic, you can't just tell them the juicy parts, but if it's Lawn Dogs or Skipped Parts, you will have the edge).

Answer 9

just start talking more and don't care what others will think of you.
