How can I start a conversation? how to stpo being shy???

Question

I'm so shy! How can I stop being shy and start being more outgoing!?!!!?!?!

Answer 1

A big part of releasing your shyness is to completely forget about yourself and concentrate on the other person. Ask questions and let their answers lead you to ask more questions. If you discover that you have something in common, say so. Here's a sample:

you: Do you like the new history teacher?
them: Not really. He reads too much from the book.
you: Yeah, not good. Do you have a teacher you really like?
them: I like Ms. Bradley. She makes the class fun.
you: I've never had her before. How does she make the class fun?
them: Well, blah blah.....

And so on. There is an excellent book called "How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less" by Boothman. It gives great advice on how to make good first impressions and have great conversations with people. I've read it and highly recommend it. But in the end, you have to gather your courage and start talking. Good luck to you!
