How Do I Stop Being So Shy

How can I stop being so quiet/shy?

I have been quiet most of my life around people at school, my dad's side of the family -- basically people I don't know that well, nor trust. I've opened up quite a lot compared to how I usually was. But, I sometimes feel awkward talking to them, and I often find myself just not saying anything at all. I think I have a fear of stuttering or saying something I shouldn't. I know I need to over-come that, but it's harder than it sounds. I'm home schooled now, so I can't just go to my school and talk to random students. Plus, I think that'd be kinda awkward.

I've TRIED talking to several people before, and they just stop talking to me all together... I want to make new friends badly.

I mean, I'm decent looking and I think the only reason why I have very few friends is mostly due to my shyness. I'm quite outgoing around my mom's side of the family and close friends... but other than that.. no. It sucks. I just feel so awkward all the time. I want to come out of my shell and conquer my fear.

Can you guys please give me advice on what I should do? What can I do to over-come my shyness? I REALLY need this advice. Thanks in advance...

How can I stop being so damn shy?!?

try to be more confident and find YOU ARE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF! Loving and accepting ourselves is THE MOST CRITICAL FACTOR in experiencing joy,happiness, and success in life. When you really love yourself and you really love other people, you find that life is really an incredible journey where things flow, and no matter what happens you always find a way to enjoy yourself and you feel fulfilled. You MUST love yourself completely.
This determines your STANDARDS for what you are willing to accept or settle for. It determines how well you treat your body and your health, your belief in whether you can achieve your goals, how much others RESPECT you and how they treat you, and even whether people like you and want to be around you. People love being around confident people. You see, confident people do not feel the need to judge you or tear you down in order to elevate their own self-worth. They radiate a positive energy. You feel safe around them. You need to consistently and confidently take action to move towards your goals, and towards your ultimate destiny. People who lack in confidence often get ‘stuck’. So you see, your entire DESTINY is shaped by your degree of confidence. True self-confidence comes from an absolute sense of certainty deep within, that you are able to handle anything life throws your way. Truly confident people exude calm, control, power, certainty. They care about people, and they make people feel good when they are around them.They never brag – after all, actions speak louder than words. People who brag are just masking their insecurities. People have varying degrees of confidence depending on what activity they are performing. For example, someone might be totally confident in performing a piano concert, or driving a car, but feel totally inadequate at a new job they’ve started, or at flirting with members of the opposite sex. People with Total Self-Confidence, though, have complete belief in themselves. They never ask themselves “Can I really do this? What if this doesn’t work out? Am I good enough to pull it off?” They know that if they really want something, and they are committed to getting it, it will happen. They know that it’s just a question of time until they’ve mastered the skills and knowledge to make whatever they want a reality

Tips on stop being shy?

Good question. Very important to having quality of life.

Remember this: No one really cares what your doing or saying because everyone is all wrapped up in their own thinking and doings. It's just not as important to them as you are thinking it is. People are all self-centered.

If you want to dance but find you can't get up because you're too shy......you will miss out on the wonderful joy of dancing. The people who are sitting around the dance floor are doing the same thing. We're all afraid someone will laugh at us or we'll make some mistake, so we miss out. So what if they laugh at us? Who cares? At least we are doing something.

Who cares if we make a mistake? Nobody. Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, no one would really want to be around a perfect person - because their own faults would show up stronger. (there are no perfect people)

Do what you feel you want to do and don't worry about being rejected, talked about or laughed at. It's only for a few minutes and it happens to everyone. Big Deal!
And say this over and over: AT LEAST I AM DOING SOMETHING!

You are a unique person created by the same loving father as everyone else. Your differences are what make you so special. There is no one better than you. Not above you, or below you. Live your life to the fullest. It's your only one.

How can I get my gerbil to stop being so shy?

I have 2 gerbils and one of them is much more 'sociable' than the other (since they came from different sources, I assume they had different backgrounds.. or maybe it's just their personalities).
You will need to be patient, and also constant (i.e. do the same every day), to help your shy pet to learn that people (or at least you) are its friends.
Every time you approach their cage/terrarium, offer them something they love, such as a sunflower seed, to eat from your hand; after a few days even the shy gerbil will learn that your hand equals food and will come to check what you're bringing.
You can also touch it gently on the head and back while it's eating (it won't mind if it's interested in munching the food), to get it used to your touch. Then progressively increase the contact. Don't force it or scare it, remember that some individuals are prone to seizures if they're stressed (I'm assuming your gerbils are genus Meriones).
Good luck!

How can I stop being so shy in high school?

Being shy is completely normal. Most of the kids at your school are probably scared of what people will think of them. Some just hide it better than others. Being shy to the point where you are not participating is a shame, because you will miss out on so much and it probably feels a little lonely. Think of the benefits gained by trying and how much more fun school will be once you learn to speak to some of your classmates.I recommend starting out small,choose one person, in one of your classes, that you think looks nice and approachable. Just start saying hello to them in the mornings when school starts. Preferably when they are not speaking with someone else. Stick with this practice with the same person, and then maybe you can add, to the conversation, with something along the lines of, did you finish your assignment? or whatever comes to mind. After gaining that one friend you will see more start to follow suit.Confidence is gained by putting yourself in positions that are out of your comfort zone and realizing, hey that wasn’t so bad. It you don’t feel uncomfortable you are not growing. When we want to change something about ourselves it is best to practice.When I was in school I would try to sit next to someone who I wanted to get to know, that way you can “borrow a pencil” or ask them if they understood the assignment or just simply say hello and see where the conversation takes you.I would also recommend joining an activity, band, drama, the school news paper, a sport, those types of activities are usually done in groups and you can get to know kids easier in small groups like that.Good luck and keep us posted :)

Is it possible to stop being shy?

Shyness is not a “disease” that has to be “cured”, but I do understand where you are coming from, being an introvert myself. All my life. I was forced to learn to be at least outwardly an extrovert in certain environments and places, and had no choice. I would not recommend it.After a decade of dealing with social anxiety and trying everything from medication, reading every book under the sun and even solo travelling around the world to try and break out of my shell I’ve finally figured out what it takes. And honestly it could have been done in a few weeks.Everyone is, of course, different. And we all experience different levels of shyness or social anxiety. But when you come right down to everyone is dealing with the same learned behavioural problem with the same root cause and same root cure.Learned experience has caused it. Whether you were 5 or 35 the lower levels of your brain has learned to fear social situations. And the answer is re-training this lower level of your brain in a controlled way (because just throwing yourself into the deep end reinforces the problem in the long run). In theory, I learned that a long time ago. Putting it into practice was another story. I know how easy it is to get the feeling nobody else is going through the same thing as you are but I promise you at the root it’s all the same thing. I spent years hiding away in my room watching TV and playing games because I was easier than going out and facing people as much as I really wanted to. Watching others lead lives I wish I had but never understanding how they managed to talk to people so easily.I’m not normally one to suggest self-help books. Partly because I’m a guy and partly because I’ve read a load of them and most don’t actually have anything you can use in the real world. I did find the thing which finally turned my life around (and a way you can download the full audiobook for free): Shy to Social Free Audio Book and Community
