I have a small favour to ask of you guys on here, maybe someone can help. I have trouble speaking to other people because I get very shy and worry too much about what they will think, so I tend to stay quiet. What's a recommendation I should consider so that I can be open and not shy? I'm trying to be like my friend, loud, obnoxious, and comforting. I'm too scared to do any of that and panic a lot 'cause of it, if anyone could please help I would really appreaciate it a lot. Thank you!

Well just try to talk about random things like your favorite anime, songs or even your life. That's how I talk to people anyway... though I'm quite shy I try to be as cheerful and funny as possible :3 You should start of by just being yourself! But sorry if this doesn't help much!!! >.<

>>1 I have the same problem!

Hahahahah all of us are practically in the same boat :3

yay! XD

You should just be yourself. Don't worry about being something your not. But if you just wanna be part of the conversation do like that other person said and talk about your favorite things and your life. But remember no k e is a better you than you.

No one*

I personally not like people that are loud and obnoxious. I also believe that we don't need everyone be that way, we need more people that can be quiet, and not say averything that comes to mind. Don't be discouraged by not being like others, that just makes you more special.

>>1, >>3, >>4 lol, I know exactly how you guys feel.

>>1 You don't have to try to be loud and 'obnoxious' if it is not in your nature to be like that. Quiet people are comforting as well, you know. The best advice I can give you is to just be yourself and be proud of yourself. Yes, you're quiet and shy, but that is not a bad thing at all. Think of it this way: you're a compassionate person who cares about how other people feel, and that is something to be proud of. As you start viewing yourself more positively, you will become more confident in yourself over time and you will find yourself opening up more. Also, try to spend time with your friend doing things you so absolutely love; sometimes in such situations, you will become so engrossed that you lower your guard and forget to be shy.

It's easier said than done, I know (heck, I am practically just like that), but it is always worth striving for. Hope this helps and good luck, Shuichi!

You is you, and i think u have to change your talk to other. i'm a silent girl too, but i don't really think what my friends think about me. like i say, just be your self. shy is no good for a reason., u know. shy is your personality. they just did'nt interested with your original self. don't mind. but, u really have fix your shyness first if u want to be a different person.
