Question

Tomorrow we're having a family get-together for Christmas.

And i'm nervous. Lol I'm really really shy so how can I act more outgoing?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Just act like yourself, and smile.
Good Luck.

Answer 2

I know what you're going through, First I (wasn't )out going.
Then I was out going, Then shy, Now I just say to myself not everyone is going to like me... That's true" But it's also true that Some people will like me....
The some people are always better than all of the people.
It's just like the women that do like me are always better than the ones that don't....... I was with my sister at a cool place while we were eating I was going to say something to what looked to me to be a young and sexy woman I said a few things to my sister and she said Do what you want ! I thought about it and thought well what's stopping me?????? Hummm
Myself so I told self to shut up and When the woman past me like for the 5th time i stopped her and ask her name she told me and i said this is my sister so it's no big deal. so we all started talking and wow this kind of thing is happening alot more often cuz now I really don't care, I'll get brushed off by some but 2 haven't brushed me off and 3 have so I'm still alive I didn't die.... hummmm so why be shy and feel dead?
well that's my Logic........

Answer 3

I used to be the same way. Just remember basically.. that it's just family, and feel comfortable around them because after all you are related to them. Don't isolate yourself around everybody or else you'll get left out and act shy. Start conversations with your family. Just don't think about how nervous you are, and don't try to think too much about what to say or what not to say just go with the flow.

Answer 4

Just be yourself. Even if you don't talk much no one will mind,
smile alot and be polite. They'll think you're a real nice girl. Answer all question that they ask you but just be polite about the whole thing. Trust me it will work. I'm kind of shy but when I met my bf family I just stayed myself and was very polite to them and they loved me.

Answer 5

Well, hit the chat rooms. You get to learn to think fast and type what's on your mind.

It won't happen overnight, but hey, it's family. what's to be nervious about? It's the people you already know. And if you're shy, it will still be the same people next time

Answer 6

Have sex with your significant other when you wake up. That will release endorphins and make you relaxed and more confident. Then you won't be so nervous and shy. It works, believe me. Maybe try a little wine while you're cooking too.

Answer 7

Smile and stand up tall. Say hi to everyone and try to strike up a convo with people even if you dont know them. Also be nice to everyone and friendly. Make a list of all the things your good at and read them before you go to the get togeather to build your self confidence level also.

Answer 8

I don't think you should be anything less than yourself. If you shy be what you are. I'd rather see someone join my family who is reserved and real than outgoing and fake. I mean sure you'll warm up to them but just because your reserved doesn't mean they are not going to like you. Good Luck.

Answer 9

just act like yourself take someone like a friend that will keep u busy and dnt get nervious just keep up with the conversation and give ur opinion of things someone will prob bring something up that all of u guys will talk about!!!!

Answer 10

don`t stand by yourdelf and just watch the other ppl there. go talk to some of the ppl there that you know and if you don`t know someone there and they start to talk to you talk a bout the weather of somrthing like that .and ask how they`ve been lately
