Absinthe, Less Riddles, I am too simpleminded this early in the morning. What did you mean by that.

Answer 1

I was shy when I was younger up until 12th grade. I worried whether people were going to accept me or like me a lot. When I got into my senior year, I was just like f*** it. If people dont like me they can kiss my as s because I like being me and I dont want to act like someone I'm not just because I'm worried about what someone will think of me. I became much more relaxed around people after that and made so many new friends that year. I tried out for stuff, competed in the towns Winterfest pageant and a lot of other stuff that I wouldnt have had the confidence for in previous years. I made new friends through those endeavors also. I also helped a friend of mine start a theater club in our school and landed a starring role in one of the plays we did. We put the play on during a festival in a neighboring town in the Center for the Arts and one of the operators of the center actually said I was really good and should look into acting. And the part was the part of a very outgoing very likeable girl. Im not an actress or anything (thats not what i wanted to do in life) but her comment made me even more confident about myself.
The best part about being myself was I know that my friends like ME and not someone that I'm pretending to be.
Bottom line: dont be afraid to be yourself. If people dont like who you are they dont deserve your time or your friendship. It might help if you took a public speaking class or joined a club or volunteered for something. It gives you a chance to meet new people while doing something you both enjoy. That right there is something you could talk about with someone in that club or volunteer group. Obviously you have something in common if you both joined the same thing. Build on that.

Answer 2

I think you should just go ahead and accept. I have been trying to come out of my shyness for several years and I still have issues opening up around strangers. I took a speech class in college, thinking that it was going to help me with my speaking, but that didn't work. You could always joing organizations or take part in something in which you have to socialize. I have just come to the conclusion that I am going to be shy and I just go on with my life, lol.

Answer 3

It takes alot of work. Go out of your way to talk to people. It gets easier with time.
BTW, cool avatar! Love the man in pink tights too.
I know Bret is mine too.

Answer 4

I started coming here and answering questions. I started a 360 page and I have quite a few friends who I "talk" with regularly.
I also am being treated for depression, and the therapy has helped me "unshy" myself so much.

Answer 5

For me it's all about a comfortable setting. I'm less shy when I'm more comfortable, for instance in my own space. If friends are already in my own comfort zone, then it's easier for me to be more outgoing, and also I'm less shy around good friends in general, no matter where I am.

Answer 6

I wouldn't say it's the best way - but it always works. Alcohol gets anyone out of their shyness!

Kind of yeah... Just talk to the people you know well and build up on that...
