I always feel like I kill my image. I'm a confident person on the inside but for some reason I can't express the person I really am. I'm having a hard time at my new workplace because everyone's so happy and laughing with eachother, but when it comes to me I feel like i'm the monotonous, uninteresting person of the group. I think it might have left a bad impression of who I am so far, and I don't want that happening. How can I change that? I try to jump into conversations, but mostly they're things I don't have a clue about and so I have nothing to say. In some ways its hurting my self esteem, and it even makes me appear shallow to a point. It's not only in my work, it's also with my own friends too. I'm already painfully shy, and I want to stop that. I just feel like i'm the person who doesn't have anything interesting to say..................so any clue as to what I can do to open myself up more?

Maybe think about why you are so shy. Are you shy because you are afraid of embarasing yourself? Just go for it, jump in. If you have no clue what they are saying, ask them, or just change the subject slightly. All I can say is just try it, go for it, and be confident! Repeat to yourself that you are awesome, and that you can do anything!

Hello. I'm very shy guy, but I always jump in and talkin with everyone. I can be off the point or being silly.. or tryin to be serious and ask them what they actually talk about what u didnt understand. Sometimes it is tough, but Don't be afraid to hide and dont be embarressment... Just try to think poistion and enjoy with your friends. Just chattin with them abt any subjects.. :)

The easiest way to feel more confident is to forget yourself. Think about the people around you and talk to them about things they are interested in. Sometimes it is hard to think of but in the long run most people don't think about you at all. If you feel uncomfortable forget you and remember them.

You can be quiet and still have friends. You'll be one of those cool, silent types. The one who has really cool friends. Just try talking to someone nice.
