Hey everyone i'm 16 from n.ireland :]
Umm well i'm basically just a very shy person and it's getting me down more and more everyday.
I haven't started college long ago and well I have friends in it it's just i'm not as "talkative" as they are and I have the feeling that they are kind of awkward when talking to me.. and I don't mean to make them feel that way :[
I'm just scared to be myself in case what they will think of me and I mean i'm a nice person, but I'm just worried they will think I'm boring because i'm quiet. :[ So I just hope they like me for me. And I like each one of them for who they are, i don't like to judge.:]
This is one of the reasons i've never had a boyfriend but I don't need one to be happy anyways lol... it would just be nice x]
This is one of the reasons I dread going everyday.
Well I would just like some bits of advice on confidence or something and well yeah i'm upset about this now.
Thanks everyone xxx

It's ok to be shy! That's ur personality..there's a bunch of loud, outgoing people. Just be yourself when you're around your friends. It's ok to be quiet and just listen. Don't feel awkward around them and include yourself when they talk. Ask them questions, make comments, small talk. The more you talk w/ them the more comfortable you'll feel around them! I recently started college also, and I'm shy as well. It's not a bad thing!

Stop taking yourself so seriously and relax. That has to be the first thing to do. I'm aware that i have speech problem, not so much an impediment, but its enough to make me seem shy. When i with company that i can relax in its not a problem. Join a social group or team, go to the gym. Doing exercise makes you feel good and also builds confidence. Or you could do what I did to build confidence - joined the armed forces

First try to find why you are shy; people put you down? you are not beatifull ? ... Anyway whatever is the answer , remmenber, you should be yourself and don't let others tell want to do.
If you are shy by nature give time to time live around it because sometimes to be shy is a beatifull thing.
I see shy people as good people and honest sweet people,so nothing to horry about

Its normal to be shy or insecure when you are 16 just remember that people are not as critical of you as you are of yourself, people are people, we are all the same, just be confident and know that most people are not judging you. you will eventually grow out of it

I know where you are coming from i think the best advice is just be yourself and don't feel intimidated to do anything you don't want to. - being shy is not such a bad thing..
