I'm also REALLY shy, and the only thing that worked for me was to join clubs and play sports. You are forced to talk to people, but you know at least that you have something in common (the sport or club). Plus, if you join a team, you must communicate with the other teammates, and you are forced beyond your comfort zone. The worst thing to do is to get too comfortable with just one person (only one friend or a boyfriend) because if you lose them somehow, you have no one. Plus, that's a lot of pressure on the other person. Be yourself, but push yourself to get out there and be social. I'm a lot more outgoing than I used to be, I'm even a teacher (you know, talk in front of 30 high school kids who enjoy criticizing everyone). Good luck!

Maybe you should look into your reasons for being that way. If you are the type to always try to impress others or worry too much about others opinion on you that could be a problem. That is an insecurity and people can tell when someone is insecure and choose to stay away from them because like you said they seem depressing. If you are just a naturally quiet and reserved person you aren't necessarily shy. I am that way. Do not worry so much about making friends. People will find you mysterious and come to you on their own. When you seem confident and happy others will want to come to you and feel the same way. : )

I'm shy also.
I have a lot of friends.
A fun and easy way to make friends is to join a club, or a team.
Find someone with the same interests as you....
Before you know it you'll have tons of friends.
You can do it...Just always be confident. =) If I can do it, so can you.

I'm shy and well...this sounds bad. It was unintentional, but I always wore the latest designer clothes to school and did my hair nice and wore nice make up, and it attracted people to ME. I never had to go out and make friends, and it was good for me because I am EXTREMELY shy.

I was kinda like this too...I imagine that you are very clingy to your friend and feel that if you leave her side, she'll leave yours...well that's not true! If you are true friends she will stick with you... now open up to other people and don't be afraid.... say things that you think will sound stupid, who cares? If these people like you for who you are they will stick with you, but if they just walk away you know they aren't your friends! What I'm trying to say is be bold!! Good luck! =)

try playing volleyball for your school.. its an easy sport to learn and i'm sure you'll make or meet a few new friends.

Nothing wrong with being shy.
