Answer 1

First conquer spelling. : ) Then, just jump in and do it.

Find something nice to say about someone else. That is always a good way to make friends. Take the time to ask people questions about what makes them tick. That is, ask them what things they like. Find something in common and build from there.

If you are sincere in trying to get to know someone and sincere in showing concern for them, you will find yourself quickly making friends.

A church youth group is always a great place to meet friends. There you have the bonus of meeting new people while growing closer to God. God can bind friends closer together than all our human effort ever could.

Finally, and most importantly, I suggest praying and asking God to send you some good friends. He answered that same prayer in my life some years ago.

May God bless you and send you good friends and friends that will be good for you. I will say a prayer to God in the name of His one and only Holy Son Jesus Christ that he will provide for you in this area.

May you be blessed with quality friendships that bring love, joy, peace, and comfort.

Grace and Peace to you!

Answer 2

Learn to communicate assertively. Hang in areas where people share the same interests as you. This will make you appear that you have self confidence ( and soon you will) and you can always find something to say to someone who shares an interest. For example: Football, fashion, movies, cars. I read a complete rule book on football at one time so I could talk football to this guy I liked. He was amazed but we did find that we had a lot of real interests in common. Also take your time making friend till you find people you are comfortable with. Sometimes people who are losers will try to pair up with you early on. Join some clubs and interest groups at school like chorus , band , field hockey, drama club etc.

Answer 3

Take a speech class or a sales job... both will force you to get out of your comfort zone and interact with people in a way that will help with conquering shyness.

Answer 4

Well, I'd start with filling your mind with the right stuff. That will build self-confidence and everyone likes a confident person. Try reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" that is a good book to start with. Also, expect people to like you and expect them to be friendly. Your body language will come across as easy going and that draws people. You can do this pretty easily if you stick with it.

Answer 5

I used to be like.. ultra shy. But when I went to college, I just made an effort to talk to people I didn't know (yet). You don't have to introduce yourself to everyone, just like, people in your dorm or classes. Just say (if your name is Jessica) "I'm Jessica, by the way" and then ask the other person's major, year in school, just get talking. Essentially you just have to do it. And being shy isn't necessarily bad. Shy people tend to have deeper relationships than outgoing people, so accept who you are and don't try and run from it. God knew what He was doing when He made you, and doesn't make mistakes.

Answer 6

I have the same problem. When you get over your shyness let me know how you did it.

Answer 7

You act confident even if you don't feel it. No one will know the difference. Often people are shy because they are afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of others. Be yourself and act confident (after awhile, it will be more than an act). To be outgoing and talk to people--you simply make yourself talk to them.

Good Luck
