How Can I Stop Being Shy In Social Situations?

December 7th, 2009 by admin | Filed under social.

I am a typical high school student, I am very athletic and thin, I have lots of friends, I am smart, I think my appearance is decent but I have the worst problem with social situations, mostly around people I am not familiar with or girls I am attracted to. I find myself not talking and not being social. I want to be social I just can’t bring myself to be more outgoing.
Any advice would be great.

    You’re people, they’re people.
    It’s really that simple. Nothing bad can really happen when you’re talking. Just don’t seem so distant, and don’t come out babbling sentences in every second. So you say something stupid, so what? I bet they’ve said 4x more ridiculous comments since they talk more. But to be honest, everyone’s shy. If you have lots of friends, this shouldn’t be too hard for you to talk in public. You’re smart? Good. Think of some good conversation starters.
    Of course you’re not gonna be comfortable with people you aren’t familiar with….You’re not familiar with them! So you don’t know what they respond to and what their attitude is. That’s how we make friends. We see how much we have in common, how well we get along, and take it from there. There’s gonna be people that are different than you, too, obviously.
    If you’re shy around your crush, that’s completely normal. Most people get that feeling of -how to say it..- “acting like a fool” around the people they are crazy about. And honestly, MOST of the people that aren’t nervous are usually the arrogant a**es that think thy can land any guy/girl. So be confident, you’re not the only one.

    Be bold. Boldness leaves a big impression. If you’re after a cutie, wink at her. If she shows signs of interest (wandering eyes, blushing, shifting a lot, or exaggerated disinterest) then you know you’re onto something. If you’re looking to jump into a conversation in a group of guys, just jump in. Though it’s generally a good idea to make sure what you’re going to say makes sense. ;] Also, participate in class discussion. It may seem uncool to be into school, but sitting in the corner tapping your pencil gets you nowhere.

    If you have many friends then I don’t think you will have many problems.
    I also have some problems talking to some chicks, but I think it’s for the best. Most of them aren’t very thoughtful or interesting.
    Being a bit reserved isn’t bat at all.
    You might figure it out later on though, it’s just high school.

    I have the same problem when I first meet people, but my advice would be to just make small talk, and you’ll get more used to the person, until you are comfortable enough to be yourself around them.

    oddly enough, i believe immaturity is the answer to this. walk up to girls make them notice you, just try to get their attention, try for good, but good or bad attention anything is what is important. just try to be visible.
