I am currently going to college, and i am kinda shy when it comes to talking to new people, or even going up to someone and meeting them. i want to be more outgoing, and confident but i don't know how too...I have gained some weight so i think it has something to do with that...But once you get to know me i'm not shy...i'm this different girl...it's just meeting new people or when i do i feel out of place and i'm quiet. So can anyone help tell me how i can overcome this shyness...

I am the same way...well I was. But you have to look at it as there are over 6 billion people in this world. If someone does not like you then it is there own loss. there are other people that will. But you wont know unless you confront them. I just go up to people now and talk to them. Its ok if they don't like me because maybe the next person will. For the people that do not want to talk with you...It is their LOSS not yours. Because you will make other people happy. So do NOT be afraid to go up to people and meet them. Try and get over your fear.........you can do it!

Start by trying to get to know your fellow classmates. Try striking up a conversation about an assignment or an answer on a test. If that doesn't work maybe try complementing someone on an outfit they are wearing and ask them where they got it. Start simple and as your confidence grows so will the conversation. Don't worry about the weight issue. Almost everyone goes through it. Hey it could be a conversation piece itself. Be confident in who you are and not how you look and you will be the "out-going person" you want to become. You must first love yourself. Good Luck!!

I am the same way.. just started college, have gained a little weight. What I'm realizing is that people are just people and everybody is so caught up in what other people think of them they aren't judging other people. So relax. But that's prob not very good advice.. because if it was I would follow it and be just fine. Just know that you aren't the only one like this so don't feel bad. Good luck.

Well i used to be really shy too. Then i started doing performances or plays. Even if you think you are no good at acting(get a small part) it totally helps you talking in front of people!

your image, inside & out needs to be improved, dress well, smart, feel good about yourself, look people in the eyes, walk with your head held high, a good posture, new students coming to your college are just as scared, smile & offer your help to anyone look lost to you,
