I know there are similiar questions on this subject that have already been answered on here but i thought i'd just ask a question from my situation.
In my group at college most of the people are very loud and outspoken, i feel very uncomfortable around these people and i feel i cant say anything infront of them because i'll make myself look stupid. However,i have made a few good friends who are on the same level as me, who i can be myself infront of and we have a laugh together, then as soon as it goes back to being infront of the loud people, i go really quiet and hardly say anything, i try but i just cant. none of the loud people can understand why i'm quiet, they think i'm being rude or ignorant. it's so difficult for me and i'm now known as the girl who never speaks, which frustrates me because i know that i'm not that girl, not meaning to sound big-headed but i can make people laugh and i am a happy person but i just cant break out of the shell incase people dont like it!:(

Well, it sounds like you are highly introverted. That means you are quit and like to work by yourself. The best thing to do is to try to talk some more, nd if you say something stupid; then try to laugh about it. I was like you a long time ago, but my job brought out the extroverted in me. Now I'm more like your friends, but I occasionally revert back to former self. Try to make yourself talk and get a little wild every now and then. It will help. It's a long process and will not happen over night, so don't expect that. Good luck.

Do not say that you 're shy, anymore. Think positive. Read magazines, story books, etc., that can enrich your language. . You do not have to be a loud talker, be just you. Be natural. Think how the News Ladies talk in the News on TV. Practice the way of talking like a proffessional News Lady. Take a course of periodism if you can, and give that shyness that you mention to God. Tell Him: Dear father, take away from me this shyness. I love you, be my teacher in the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Do not be affraid to nobody because God is with you and His angels are around you. Just believe. What you believe, is what you receive, so...think before you talk. Think positive and talk positive and everything will change around yourself. God love you very much. Jesus Christ is the Lord. Be bless.

We can't all be the same - a certain crowd can make certain situations bearable but in the long run all of the awkward moments you are going through will make you alot more savy when you are out of your shell than people who just blurt out whatever they think.

Trust me ,you will grow out of it.
Especially if you get tired of people running over you,because you are shy,and they can use you as a target,to get a laugh.
I was once the same way,but now I never meet a stranger..
But,good luck...

You need to work on your confidence and self esteem. Or just play up to your natural instinct to become dominant. Don't worry about what others think. They will either like who you really are, or not like who you really are.....it isn't the end of the world! If they don't like you, then they don't matter!
