I am shy and cant approach people to make new friends...I also dont know what to say when I do meet people!:-(

Answer 1

everyone can use another friend. approaching someone and introducing yourself is totally appropriate. You should allow yourself to feel comfortable conducting casual conversation, you'd be amazed at how receptive most people will be

Answer 2

Believe me it is difficult to meet new people but everyone has their own way of doing it. My children call me a motor mouth. I just don't stop talking. But that's not just with new people that's with everyone. I was very shy as a child and I don't know what happened but I like it. I have a son who is married and all through childhood and even now and he's married with 2 children had social anxiety. I brought him to a few therapists to help him get over the shyness. He wouldn't even pick up a telephone. Then after high school and one yr of college he calls and tells me he is dropping by with his girlfriend. Well, the whole family was in shock....how did he get a girlfriend when he barely spoke to strangers. She was the cutest little thing who later became his wife and my good friend. I don't know your age and I don't know if it would be a good idea to approach anyone alone or with your other friends. Have you tried to talk to your mom about it? School psychologist? Give it a try.

Some people are shy, there is nothing bad in it... Besides there are many people who like shy characters....

But you find your shyness way out of the ordinary, you need to work on changing it. Go out more often. If there is something bothering you like, "Oh my God, I'm getting too much attention" or "I don't look good this way or that", stop it, remember all the drama is in your head.

People may stare at you for no apparent reason. People may even behave in an unjust manner at times, if they had a bad day. It is not your fault. You need a strong character that is not twisted with way that people around you behave....

And then there is exercises for you to do. When coming to overcoming shyness, you need to first of all fight against yourself. We all know the first time we learned to walk. We fall down a couple of time, but did we stop trying? If we had what would have happened... So get out, meet people and most importantly let your hair down and emotions free and even feel safe at times to make a fool out of yourself. Take everything light. When you become good at it, you would one day realize, the purpose of body or your appearance is not as important as the character that you have. And when that day comes, you will find that all your insecurities are lost and your body just becomes like a vehicle trying to transport the soul within....

How do I know so much, I was a shy myself... And at times, I like being shy... It is nothing so great to be worried about...

Answer 5

you don't have to try to make friends all at once. If you meet someone, just walk up and say hi, how are you? if they respond, and seem friendly, and not sarcastic, bring up something else to talk about. If they keep talking, try to keep a convo up.

Alot of people don't talk because they don't think others want to talk. If you show some interest in making friends, others may show interest. Being shy is hard to over come, but once you do overcome it, its like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

Answer 6

i used to have the same problem .. well im not shy i just didnt know what to say when i meet new people . so heres what u got to do .. you got talk to them like you know them for a long time (especially after the first meeting) ,,its more like ur discovring them ask them about anything pops on ur head even if u think its stupid first talk about movies if they just say " yeah yeah nice" then its the wrong subject so you got to pick another one like talk about food .fav place/fav meal - u know some stuff like that .. or u can talk about relationships that always works !! good luck !!

oh wait .. if u none of those work u can just talk about how cute i am and how nice i am .. lol :P
bye

Answer 7

Try, 'hi, how are you doing'. And then just think of something to say or ask them. It isn't hard. The more you think about it, and the more pressure you put on yourself, the harder it will be. And remember, some people are jerks, so don't get discouraged.
Also, appearance does count, so be clean and 'presentable.' This just makes things easier.

Answer 8

u have to socialize sooner or later, just a simple smile and hi really works, honestly plp wont like u if u have a straight face and dont say anything, thats even worse, so try it, go for it, take a freaking chance for once in ur life!!! u would like the result, no1 cant live without friends, im sure u need them, so do it soon b4 its too late dude
