im 12 and in 7th grade. so when im with my frnds im pretty outgoing but w new people and in class im kinda quite and dont know wat to say. in class i never raise my hand and when i have to answer a question my face gets all red. like a week ago a teacher even used me as an example of someone who doesnt talk much and it was really embarasing!!! so is it bad to be shy and if it is how can i get over it????? i really wish tht i was outgoing but it honestly is impossible to be outgoing if u were always shy like me. i think i was born like tht.

hey. first of all, you're not alone. i'm like that too. and so are a lot of others.
shyness isnt an easy thing to overcome. its like its grown and grown over the years, and its like a part of you now, its hard to get rid of.
first of all, you need to ask yourself, why am i shy? is it because you are afraid to show yourself to the world? or you are afraid people will not like the person you are? in life, there will always be people who hate you, and people who love you. but if you never let anyone get to know you, no one can hate you, or love you. just know that people who love you will love you for who you are, and you need to let them do that.
from experience, i know that life is SO much better when you are real to yourself, and say what you want to say, and act how you want to act. don't let anything stop you from being yourself. not anything, and not shyness. it will not be easy and will take long to overcome your shyness, but its so worth it. no one wants a life in which they constantly supress who they are. what are you going to do with all the things that you've ever wanted to say, but didn't? all the things you've wanted to do, and all the dances you've wanted to dance, but kept yourself from doing it because you were scared? you need to let them out. let it out, be yourself, and let the world love you.
i'd like to say that i USED to be like you, and that i've overcome shyness, but the truth is, some days, i let it all go, and some days, im withdrawn, and shy. shy days are more than unshy days, but i'm still working on it. i just haveee to say, life iss soo much better when you open yourself up. let that be your motivation: a better, happier, life.
go up to the highest floor of your house, open a window, and scream "this is me, world!! im (w.e your name is), and i'm not shy!!!!!"
even though i am answering your question, i'm answering mines as well. im encouraging us both to just live a more carefree and happy life. so know that youre not alone, and work on it every second, every day, until you get it, and know that you are happy. i wish you good luck, and a happy life.

Hey it is not a bad thing to be shy I used to be a very shy person, what can I say it runs in my genes. Now in my 13 years of age (kind of sound weird whatever) people tell me I am one of the most outgoing people they have ever met, I stopped being shy in the beginning to middle of 7 th grade yes of course it was hard I mean you can just boom be outgoing my friend she is a very outgoing person I hung out with her a lot of and it kind of rubbed off on me I always wished I could be outgoing like her and now I am. I was just sick of people thinking your weird because your shy and I hate how people judge people like that. When I hear people say that, I say you wouldn't like someone saying that about you would you? and just because there shy doesn't make them weird not everyone is outgoing. I just know how it feels and I like to stick up for people. Just try and talk to new people with your friends it may help but it doesn't matter what you are you should always accept yourself for who u r

no it is not a problem--you are just more laid-back than others--what is more important is if you are nice to the people you are less shy with
