becoming less shy

[Jess]

I am way too shy I don't talk a lot and sometimes that's bad because then I end up with no partner or group for any project.

I need help on becoming more confident and less shy

Well, there's no overnight solution for shyness. It's just one of those things usually. But what i found helped me was joining some groups when i got to college and got to mix a bit more. So if you have any interests like reading, sports or music why not try to see if your school has any clubs running? :)

Well, I would say for you to just be confident. That's gonna help you the most. Also be friendly, cause people are gonna be more likely to come up and talk to you if your friendly. Start a conversation with someone, that could soon lead to a friendship. And when people talk to you, talk back, which could lead to a friendship as well. Hope I helped :-P

Yeah, I would say that it is a long, slow process. Start by speaking up more in school...little things. Make sure you do them everyday until they become easy, then push yourself to do more. Talk to new people, say hi to a stranger. Slow and steady becomes more outgoing, as they say.

Some great advice has been offered. Confidence is going to be key. Everyone makes a fool out of themselves and it's just laughing along. I noticed that after I got into Emergency Medical Services and Firefighting that my shyness opened up and it was consistent talking to people. I'll talk to strangers now and it's just my personality now. Find a group of people that share some common interests, talk in class, volunteer for stuff, etc. You can do it, and just put a smile on Jessica. Want to talk, don't be afraid to PM me. Have a nice evening hun.

I'm still pretty shy at school but getting over it...
Confidence is how you do it, really. Don't think, just do.

By that I mean "Don't let your mind tell you how to run the show, just go with what feel right"

You could always join some after school activities. That way you associate with people your age with something you enjoy by then you both will not only have something to talk about, but you might gain a friend. Get involved. As said above talk to new people as you do and gain friends that will boost your confidence. Good luck and I hope things work out

I only participate in Book Club. any other club I am not interested in. And in Book Club, barely any people come and they haven't had one of those get together for a long time
