shyness

[And.rew]

Ok so basically I am okay with people I know. I'm not super outgoing but its ok if i know the person. But when I meet new people (people my age, parents friends and whoever) I get so shy around them I can hardly talk and feel all uncomfortable. With girls its about 100 times worse, but any new people I get all weird around and whatever I say always sounds stupid. My parents say I'll grow out of it but I don't know. How do I starting feeling comfortable with new people?

It happens to me sometimes, your just nervous just be your self and
Don't worry about anything else

oh I have had the same problem! exactly the same! I haven't done anything special to get rid of it but now it's a lot better. Of course there are some issues left but now it's a lot better. I guess that's the question of the self-confidence. The more mature you get, more self-confident you are and with that all the shyness bleaches.

I had the same problem and it's not all gone yet :/ I believe I just got older and more self-confident:)

I have the same problem. It has gotten better but isnt officially gone. My friend that i know now know how i am. When ever a new person trys to talk to me i am so uncomfortable i'd rather step on nail. Anyways though, my friends help me get through it by offering a topic im comfortable with or adding comments that i have experience with. I feel more confident with my friends with me and come out of my shell (sorta lol.) For the most part im over it, except when i talk to guys then.... yeah you know who that goes. But a starts a start,right? GL.

I kind of have the same problem too, but just be yourself and remember to just find easy things to talk about that you might have in common, and work off that. And its always nice to have a friend around that help make talking to others easier.

I'm the same way, but people usually think I'm funny, so I just make jokes n stuff and eventually we get to know each other and I'm not so shy

im only shy with new people unless someone i know is there its all good for me

Try doing something that makes you feel good and gives you self confidence, e.g., working out or playing and instrument. After awhile that good feeling from that will transcend to everything else you do and you'll be more willing to talk. Good luck! :)

It's been said before, but mostly it's self confidence, i know it's not easy, but just generally not caring what people think does it for me. If you're that kind of person, just be that kind of person, it will mean more when you are close to someone, and shy people are cute.
