Ok well..I go back to school again on Wednesday for the second semester. And only one of my classes are different, the others are the same ones. So..I want to be different than I was last semester..because I was shy..really, really shy. And this is my first year at that school..so I don't have many friends yet. There are peolpe I talk to..but not many friends. So, atleast in that class where no one knows me yet, I don't want to be shy. I want guys to notice me too.
What can I do to not be shy anymore?
It's driving me crazy!! Especially around guys I like.
Which is why that's my New Year's Resolution - To not be shy anymore...Hopefully I'll keep it this time lol.

Gabriella, I want you to consider that what you deem your shyness may be a very attractive feature of your personality - a feature that will develope and change with your experience over time. Can you trust yourself a little more. Give the magic of time a chance to work.
Did you know there are many nice boys that don't care for loud, obnoxious, showy girls who rattle off everything that comes into their heads? You will be noticed for who you are if you take care of yourself and honor the person that you are. Trust me, things will evolve and you do not have to overcome your quiet personality.

You can overcome your shyness by getting in the habit of making conversation. When you're in class, don't sit away from groups. Sit in a place where it's likely that others will sit in a seat next to you. Then, drop a few comments that anyone can relate to. Like, "Ugh, this class is WAY too early in the morning," or "Do you know what this teacher is like," or "It's freezing in this room."
Take it one step at a time. You don't need to have an hour long conversation with everyone the first day. A few moments is all it takes for people to realize that you're friendly, and then they'll want to talk to you.
Good luck with your new semester!

You don't have to be loud or outgoing to get over being shy. The best way to make friends is to be really interested in people and make good conversation. It will take some practice, but try to strike up a conversation with someone and let them talk about themselves. Try to remember that everyone has interesting experiences, but it is up to you to elicit their stories. Join the yearbook committee or something else you enjoy, and get involved with all the students. Just make sure to pay attention equally to all the social "cliques," not just the popular kids.
At the very least, just smile and say hi.

becoming unshy can b a very tricky thing to do
sometimes some people never get past it and that's not always a bad thing
the only advice i can offer is to just walk up tp people and introduce urself and shake hands and then at least they will know who u r and know that they can approach u
