am so shy its painful.I have few friends and never had a serious boyfriend and i am 20 years old. I should be having the time of my life. I go to community college and have had one person after a presentation actually tell me "wow thats the first time I heard you talk" I dont like being shy because I feel invisible to people and to some I think I am. Guys seem to get frustrated because getting to know me and get me to come out of my shell is like pulling teeth. Its not that I am ugly, but I am not great looking. I've been told I am cute and people who know me love my personality. I just feel like my shyness is holding me back and I want to get over it but how?

You need to start talking to other people, and not just guys. You need to be honest with yourself too. If you like someone, don't make it hard for them to get to know you. Offer yourself. Give to the conversation. Nobody else is going to do this for you.

Well, I'm like that too and for me there's a reason behind it. I don't want to say anything dumb or do something that might be offending. So I've always been considered the shy and quiet type even though I could be loud and fun too. So I take it one little step at a time and I find my comfort from passages taken from the Bible KJV and it helped me a lot since I'm determined not to be like that anymore and it turns out good things happen on its own. I'm quite amazed when people approach me and my confidence and honesty actually helped improve my relationship with people. So I don't know about you but this could work for you too. Goodluck & Best wishes.

Being shy is not a bad thing, but it does make it hard to meet people, especially this guy you like!!: ) You have to take a "what do I have to lose" attitude. If you never approach people, you will always wonder..... the more you do it, the better you get at it and the easier it becomes..... Good Luck!! :)

Seriously, go to a public speaking course. You will find everyone around you is there because they feel shy and awkward in front of people. I think this will give you confidence and let your natural beauty and personality shine
