I know exactly how you feel. I felt like I was talking enough but I still got the label as "quiet." But that label has started to fade, and here's my tips: smile a lot, you'll seem friendly. Compliments are great conversation starters, and everyone loves a compliment. And last but most important, just be confident. Easier said than done I know, but people want to hear from you. I sometimes thought no one would listen, but I'm realizing I was wrong. But by the way, don't try to change too much- everyone loves a good listener. Just be yourself.

I was known as the quiet girl for.. let's just say four years; more or less. Just be yourself. If you raise your hand in class to answer/ask questions or comment, you would probably lose the quiet girl label.

try getting into a coversation or something thats what I do cause what everyone tells you is the same with me I'm really quite in my classes or you can just tell your friends that class time is not for talking but for learning . something like that I guess. :)
i agree with some guy. :)

teh best thing to start be more talkative...is participating in class more often...when your fellow classmates notice you asking/answer question and making educational comments...they will realize how confident and outspoken u are...its not good enough to just talk a lot to one person...be friendly spread your smile among your class mates. how it works i wish i could have done this when i was in school

great question. i'm the same way. are you afraid of sticking your foot in your mouth? it might be a matter of confidence, or you may not like what they are discussing. Are you like that with everone or just a certain few people. I can't wait to see what other people say. good luck.

I actually had this problem when I was younger too. So I can definitely relate. Basically create conversation. Ask questions!
What are you doing this weekend?
Where did you grow up?
Hows your boyfriend/girlfriend?
I like your outfit? Where did you get it???

let them be INTRIGUED by your silence.
Less talk, less mistake.
Talk only when you feel like it. Don't try to talk more if you are really not up to it coz you might just end up saying things that you really don't mean.
