I have been shy almost my whole life and i find that i'm more shy at school than around people i DONT know. i think the reason i'm shy is because the people know me as being quiet from elem. and jr.high so it's difficult to be loud because thats not what they know me as.
any advice?

I am pretty confident, even around girls or girls that I like. The only tme I get shy and freak out is when I want to ask them out and I fallapart and sweat and turn red and mumble, which isn't like me.

i was really shy when i was younger, but then one day I was like fuck this, im turning my life around!
I started taking chances, dont think about what other people will think of you! We are all people! I met some of the coolest friends that way, just introduce yourself and be friendly!

For me, it was really drinking alcohol to get myself drunk.
Then it really helped me talk more.

Now I don't need alcohol to overcome shyness at parties etc

Yeah my shyness and lack of confidence has became a real issue lately. I have tried to talk more and act more like myself, but I am still pretty shy. It sucks because it effects my chances of entering a relationship.

well, i am shy at first, but then i get friendly and crazy when i know peoples and become friends. but i just have trouble goin up and talkin to peoples. i am manic depressive.

i get really high "happy, not stoned" then i get really low. and when i get real high "still meanin happy" i can smile and say random stuff to random peoples, and meet new peoples/ but when i get low, i just can't. i mentally don't have the energy for smiling, and i have no clue how to start a convo .

but ur advise is very good. last year i was depressed all the time, but i changed. i am not depressed that much now days. i still get my lows, but i'm not depressed so much. i tell myself good things bout myself, and try to stay positive. i try to b nice to everyone. and i try to b "the guy" that everyone likes. not popular, but just a nice guy.

so ya, i'm rambling ur advice is good. i recomend it to shy peoples, because it really does help.

Well I have not gone out like at all and I was at my cousins graduation party and she has a few friends that are in my grade. They asked me to go to the party my cousin was also having that night with her other friends. I was shocked and I didn't know what to say. They urged me to go and I was feeling like I would go but when my mom came and said we were going home I went home...........

Ugh there went my chance all because I'm too fucking shy.

The one good thing I could pull out of this is that the girls wanted me to go to the party which for honestly the first time ever I felt wanted by a girl.
