My first question is--why do you want to change? If quiet and reserved is what you are then there is nothing wrong with that. Personally, I am rather quiet and shy but that is just the way that I am and I don't think that I can change that. There has to be someone to balance out all of the loud, obnoxious people :-)

Now, if you are so shy and quiet that you fear social situations or avoid them at all costs, then you should see a psychologist to see if you have a mental disorder or phobia.

As for confidence, I have found that good solid friendship do more for that than anything. Be around people who respect you for you and don't worry about if you are quieter than average. Just be you and the confidence will come.

I'm a quiet shy type of person. There are times when I really wish I could change it but, I don't think I possibly can.

People often mistake my personality as snobbery which is not the case at all.

I think the world is a noisy place anyway.....some people are made this way to help balance things out a little otherwise, it could get over-bearing.

Just my opinion :-)

I don't know what age you are, but as a teen I was quiet, not really shy , kind of an introvert. After I found a few good friends it kind of went away on its own. I am much , much older now and still consider myself an introvert, I like to be alone as much as I possibly can, it is my escape mechanism. With maturity, your sense of humor will develop, as life sometimes can be a joke in itself, you will learn to laugh and say good one liners, that to is away to escape tension.

many texts i've read relate shyness with self-steem issues. It may possibly be that u are not completely comfortable with yourself therefore you hide and avoid any interaction with others simply because you don't want them to see or notice your "flaws"... once you accept yourself for who YOU are, then you will find your personality... you could remain that quiet person or you could be the next class clown for all we know, but just try and sort out whatever is bugging you and trust me you'll feel much better!!!! good luck! ; )

i dont know why do u wnat to chnage , coz personally i find quiet and shy guys to be very sexy (dont ask...i knwo it doesnt relate to ur question), but ...if u do want to change, start to hang out wd ppl who talk a lot, and earse ur idenity completely, to be soemthin new...watever taht is. start to be open wd others, and how to that is only to find answers and resolve them....answers to ur fear, guilt, perosnal security, or even perosnality. and once u start to get into habit of doin these things, u'll eventually open up, if not alot...and ..will more louder. ( confident and funner..sorry buds..dat i';m not sure about )...enyhow i tried my best..cio

Here's the only tip you will need...Express other qualities you have, don't try and follow someone else's ACT and if you are the type of person that is quite, express those qualities that make you, YOU; and those qualities will do the volume adjusting.
