Just go out and be loud. Who cares what people think. If people don't like you for who you are (funny and loud) then they don't deserve you or they aren't real friends.

I don't mean running down the street like a maniac. I mean like if you're hanging with some people don't be quiet if you really like to talk a lot. Just be yourself, if they don't like you, you shouldn't be with them.

Alot of people here on GS seem to have that. I think it has something to do with a lack of practice in communicating with others. I used to be like that (though not excessively) so my parents enrolled me in a summer camp last year. It boosted up my conficence and I'm not afraid to talk in public anymore:D

Yea, I used to be shy but now I'm not. You just have to get yourself into situations where your the center of attention, getting your pants pulled down helps too :cry: that happened to me.

I think people will get pantsed once in their life, if not more. I don't even care about it anymore... Unless I lose my boxers too.

I am the exact opposite of shy. The kind of person that people love and teachers wanted to kill. The trick to not being shy is not giving a crap what anyone thinks.

Well I lost my boxers too, but luckily it was just my ass facing the big crowd which was watching. The worst thing is that I bent down to pull my pants up XD it was the fastest I've ever moved. I was actually laughing.:lol:

Just walk into a dance club (depending on how old you are) and start dancing like a total fool. Stab the first person who laughs at you, and you should no longer have any problems since girls like badasses which will boost your confidence (after it's been totally destroyed by the anal rapings you receive during your 10 year prison term).

Shy people think they aren't good enough to be social. They fear that people are judging them 24/7. They fear rejection.

I am one of those people, but after 19 years, I'm coming out of my shell. I'm just thinking to myself all the time "who cares, they're not important."

that girl rejects you? fine, her loss.

Don't worry that people are judging you. People tend to be really nice. I mean, its in human nature to judge people. But its your duty in life to blow those pre-conceved notions that people have of you out of the water.

Exactly, you should be able to live your life and act the way you want, who cares what other people think? You won't have a fun life if you need to force yourself to act "cool" to get people to like you. Or even worse, you try to act cool but you end up shutting down. I think that's where shyness comes from.

I used to think the same way.

You just have to sit down and really think to yourself. What are my flaws. I actually wrote down an extensive list.

And you tackle those things one at a time. Soon, you'll feel a lot better about yourself.

Damnit! Now I want to rant but I have to go out to dinner with my family. :x

That's why you should just go outside and just talk to people that you know. And those people will introduce you to new people and eventually you'll get over the shyness thing. Believe me, I used to be like that too. But now I talk a lot in class and my teachers kind of get annoyed.

Im not shy. I am always hyper and talkative. If you asked me to be quiet for an entire class period then I probably couldn't do it and people have challenged me.

Being shy does freakin suck. I only get for asking her out. Cuz like right now..i was set, they set me up. Her friends and her were on the phone, and her friend was telling me that i had to ask her right now. And my friend was at my house at the time. He pinned me down and said i better do it. Then i chickened out and said i would later... :cry:

Now I am talking about extreme shyness... (which I have in real life) Hard to get friends... When you get friends its hard to be good friends with them... Too shy to be funny People tend to think your boring... You miss out in alot of fun in life Hard to get GF`S/BF`S Shyness almost inevitability hurts confidence... I`m just scratching the surface...Meh___Guy

I seriously do agree with you.

Yeah I know how it is to be shy..though I've been quiet all my life, just the way I am I guess. Unless I'm around some friends havin a great time. But some of my funniest moments that have gotten my friends roarin with laughter have been when I just say somethin funny without a given thought to it..just be yourself and talk a bit more..but remember..It's better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you a fool..than open your mouth and prove it. :D
