Just make sure you do because shyness can come across as arrogant and unapproachable, so you want to try to be nice. Taking down that quote and "boycrazy" might be a start. Just make an effort to smile, say hi, find common ground even if it's super simple, and if someone says something or engages in small talk with you, say something back that they can expand on rather than a yes or no answer.

You may be presenting yourself with an "I don't care" attitude and to make friends, you have to be approachable and respectful. Just be nice and talk to people first about things you have in common, like class or something. The quotes kinda old lol and well Im not really a bitchy girl I'm more like super shy..... bt i would totally like to change da shyness.... runthespread Posted at 10:29 pm on July 10, 2009 I know what it's like to be on the shier side but first thing, your quote about not being a bitch and not liking you shows something about you.

TDC Posted at 10:29 pm on July 10, 2009 You can start by befriending the people who sit around you in your classes.  Just introduce yourself and say hello <name>  how are you?  Having casual conversations like that will open yourself up to meeting new people.   cheesewiz Posted at 10:27 pm on July 10, 2009 Sell your body. Just kidding. You should join a club or something. All 5 previous replies displayed.
