Question

i'm very shy around people and i get really nervious in big crowds. i have only 2 friends and its hard for me to make more. i really don't like being like this. what can i do?

Answer 1

I was like you and my mom put me into art classes when I was five, and now I'm much better! Join a group of something that you're interested in. Volunteering is a great way to meet people. Also, get a job in customer service, you will be forced out of your shell. I was a cashier for 2 years and now you can't get me to shut up! Good luck!

Answer 2

Just get over it. Just start talking to people. That's how it works. Meet more people through your friends and stuff. I'm kind of shy too, but I know that I have to get over that. Just remember that no one is judging you and that you are who you are, no matter what people say about you. I've got more friends now that I talk to more people, but I'm lucky, I've been in the same school district my whole life. Have confidence in who you are, don't worry if people are judging you, because those people aren't worth it. Take a class, like Debate...or speech, that will help you open up because you'll be forced to talk to people.

Good Luck, I hope I helped you.

Answer 4

Hi! my advise is just believe in yourself, have a self confidence. I saw to you, is that you don't have confidence in your ability to deal with others, you are afraid to make a mistake in getting along with others, your thinking negative to yourself. Don't be, remember that God is always there for you to protect and guide you. When you nervous. Just talk to God. He help you. Good luck . Hope I help. God bless.

By having faith in yourself to build up your self esteem. If you have no faith in yourself, how can anyone else have faith in you?
