Hi everyone.Well here is my story.I am an 18 year old guy who is having a serious problem that is affecting my whole life..It is shyness..My whole life is being ruined because of my shyness..I have always been shy even in high school (as I am now in college) and i really dont know what to do about it..I have almost no social life which is just making me crazy..I have always been criticized of acting this way and it really hurts because i dont know how to change..Recently, I have tried to go out and i did go out with some of my few friends to meet some other guys and girls and as I expected they just stayed away from me because I was so quiet and they thought I was boring.I am a really nice guy but i find it hard to make people understand who I am.This is one side of the problem..The other side is that it I always feel lonely because I have never had someone to express my feelings to so I just always keep it to myself.Please tell me what to do and is there any hope for me to feel better

There are classes you can take to become more outspoken and feel more comfortable talking in front of others. I was always shy when I was younger but lost it when I made a fool out of myself one day in high school. since that day, I havent cared what others thought.

If you are in the U.S. or even abroad, look around to see if you can find a local chapter of Toastmasters International. Shyness is one thing and that is not what Toastmasters is about - but it is about speaking in front of a group. The better you get at that, the more relaxed you will feel about the way you present yourself to other people, in front of a group or just one to one.
It's also a good regular activity. Make it your goal to learn to speak and express yourself with a level of comfort. It will help in all areas of your life.

well. first of all you need to find out why you are so shy. is it because you are scared of what people will think of you?. or something else? when hanging out with friends try to fight your shyness. talk to people, tell jokes. maybe before going out have a little bit of alcohol to drink. it will loosen you up and you wouldnt have a problem to communicate with others without being shy.
hope this helps:)

Fear is the ultimate reason for the shyness.
Shyness is due to half knowlede which is dangerous for anybody.
This entire World peoples all over this World are having fear due to half knowledge.
Hence if you update your knowledge you can remove shyness. You can go to libraries and update your knowledge by reading magazines and newspapers.

Don't think people can't read you like a book. People think they need to "make" people understand them. You don't. They already understand. Its more like you have "issues" - its not that you're so "shy."
I recommend you jump out of an airplane, or bungee jump off a bridge or something. You need a huge boost to your self esteem. You need to shake off the cloud that surrounds you and not sweat the small stuff.

Express yourself through Art, writing, or music. Gives you an avenue of creativity and also draws attention to your talents, thus brings you attention and helps you overcome shyness.
