Like how can I become more open with new people that I meet or the opposite sex for example I know this girl from school and I talk to her online a lot and she invited me to a party she's having but I know most of the people she invited are people that I don't even know and even with people that I already do know like her I'll get nervous and won't know what to say or do when I'm with them.
Please how can I overcome my shyness because I really don't want it to keep holding me back any advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks!!!!!

I think you are suffering from inferiority complex,pls pardon me-im not tryna get at you.
You overcome it by learning to speak to a group of people to a larger group.Maybe start from organising all the kids in your neighbourhood and teach them something.try that and holla back.peace.

First of all, does she know you are shy? People can be more open online than in person. Explain to her that you are a little nervous about meeting new people or if you are not comfortable explaining your shyness, You can say something like, "I can drop by for a few minutes". That way you have a opening to leave when you start feeling uneasy. Say, "hi" and just do small talk at first. If you try to push yourself you will be totally uncomfortable in the situation.
There are many other things you can do to help you be a little more outgoing, like joining a group or club of people who have the same interest as you. This is the easiest way for me to meet new people and I get so busy talking about the things I like, that I don't even think about being shy.

okay well the first two answers you got were stupid.
idk if i will help much because you have to realize the only person that can change you is yourself. So you have to be really determined not to be shy. if you dont want your shyness holding you back. try to mingle more. socialize ask people what their favorite music is or if they seen the latest movie. something to start conversation. for girls complement them on their dressing. trust me. im a girl and when ever someone says i look nice it makes me feel good and makes me think the person who said it is a kind person. well thats my advice. oh yeah try not to think about what your gonna say or if what your planning to say sounds stupid because then you just get yourself more nervous.

Try this, imagine you are in a place where you feel safe (the stronger the feeling the better it works). Once you can conjure that place easily, try to conjure it in a low stressing situation for you when you get the hang of it, try it in a harder situation and go on.
Remember, take it easy, step by step because any big setback might take you back to the beginning.
Luck.

I was so shy i HAD to be the most introverted person ever.then i got to age fourteen and got angry at myself.i was interested in girls and Had to overcome this shyness.first you must be motivated. and wish to change.you can make yourself into whoever you wish to be. with determination.and FAITH you must have faith.I Read a few books on positive thinking. Napoleon Hill i remember was good reading. and i practiced positive reinforcements. telling myself i was OK. not shy I was positive.a good person. and all kinds of good positive thoughts. my mother told me i can do ALL things thru Christ that strenghtens me.I took a Silva mind control course. went to college took a lot of courses in things i was interested in. i joined a health club. the arts association. chess club.got into politics.took up painting pictures, dealing in antiques.became an ordained minister.I just got out and did what i wanted to.Find something your interested in and do it. enjoy life. i am now a salesman. i sold something to a writer for the local paper and he wrote an article about me. saying in it that i had to be the best salesman in the world.I say read some positive thinking books. and get out and do what you wish to do and have faith.You must do it. no one will do it for you.It takes effort. make yourself into the person you wish to be.I wish you the very best.

Don’t think about it. If you do just remember “more action” and then do something anything anything at all. Blurt out rude animal noises (great for conversation starters) if you have to but do something. Our general formula is less thought more action equals satisfaction guaranteed.
