I'm not a shy person around my friends, but when I'm around people I'm not as comfortable with, I don't talk much. I talk occasionally, but everyone always says I'm so quiet. And then I tell my other friends that people say that about me and they just laugh! Cuz I'm not quiet all the time!
I don't want to barge in on people's conversations, especially if I don't know them that well. When should I talk? And what should I say? I don't understand. Most of the time people leave shy people alone....but everyone always bugs me about it.
I guess....what do I do/say to seem like I'm not shy so people will stop bugging me about it?

you sound like me...I usually open up after i get to know the new people...I like to set back and get the feel of people before I jump right into the conversation...you know kinda like a trust issue...you never know these days

I'm kind of like that around new people, also. When people start talking, just add to their comments when you get the chance. After I know someone for awhile, they usually can't get me to shut up!
