I have all Summer to work on it, but I think this may be the reason I don't have any guy friends at school. I am fine around my friends but around new people I'm WAY too shy. PLZ help.

There is no confidence like the confidence giving by the Lord.
Trust in God and remember with Him all things are possible.
When your hereafter is settled, there is not much man can do to you. " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
He that is in me is greater than he that's in the world. If God is for me, who can be against me." These are 3 great Bible verses to recite and remember.
"There is no fear in love; perfect love casts out all fear." Get these Scriptures in your heart and they'll change your stinkin'
thinkin'.
God said you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Believe it.
All that you need is a relationship with Christ Jesus. Believe what God says about you. Are you shy or are you a person that does not like idle words? God tells us to guard the tongue because we will be accountable for every idle word spoken. This summer read the Book of Proverbs in the Bible.

Try working on it slowly. Go to a store and seek out a male employee - tell him your looking for something specific and bla bla bla and try to hold the conversation as long as possible. It does not have to be anything special - you know even if its about a microwave..just talk to him. Then gradually move up - randomly ask some guy for the time or if he knows where a bathroom is. If it helps just remember to breathe and lots of eye contact. Good luck

try singing or taking up band - some form to express yourself. Your not comfortable with who you are thats what shy is usually - i was labeled shy really i was just a lost soul which is scarier than shy..(could be this) just guessing may not be the same for u or others. maybe...
and I know there are different things a person does to get rid of their shyness maybe even tho just that period of their life maybe just they can for that moment.
this probably isnt making any sense ._. but I was honest about being true to yourself dont let any one put u down be comfortable for who you are you are a woman - maybe try dating but you dont have to rely on a man to be who you truly are especially if u wish to stay single. hope that helps at all.

This suggestion might not work for you, but try it, you might be surprised. okay, here it is, just try to face your fears and talk to new people, get to know them, and learn about the kind of friends they have and want,if they are some what like you, than just ask if you can be friends, hey it got me over 11 friends in just one class. and if it doesn't work for you, than try some other approach.

hey! im a fellow shyian!! ehh the key there is ''Relax 1 2 3'' and go and do it!! it really, really works.. I have 'Inferiority Complex' (i just learnt a few hours ago!).. so it's harder for me to do.. don't develop this disorder!! cos i'm sure you're not as bad!
advice: Relax in difficult situations (like when you want to make friends)

often for shy people it's like playing a role... hiding your nervousness is the first step, and then learn to say hello to people, many people are talkers... people don't find me shy, one of my tricks is to keep them talking, I don't think people notice I don't talk to much... I only open my mouth when I have something to say.... but as long as I keep them talking they don't notice.

Public speaking classes, acting classes, anything that forces you to put yourself out there and risk embarassment. Then social situations have no chance of spooking you.

Think of somebody who isn't shy, then just pretend to be them. Works for me.
