How Can I Stop Being Shy And Start Talking To People On Xbox

I'm being stalked on xbox live?

So I'm a girl gamer on xbox, and I play cod mw3 sometimes with my other girl gamer friends, and the other day me and my friend went in to this lobby and to be honest we do get a lot of abuse of some boys in games but we just mute them and carry on playing, but this guy wouldn't stop sending me messages saying he wanted to play with me and that he loved me and I'm like erm okay haha so I just blocked communications and went offline. But the next day I went on in a lobby and I noticed that he had joined, and when I left and joined another game he also joined. I am not even friends with the guy so I'm just like ermmm wtf? But I was with some of my boy friends who I play cod with and I was like ermmmm this guy is stalking me so he got started shouting things and my friends and he just got in to an argument with all of them then he left. I thought this was over but the next thing I no he's joined another one of my games calling me a fat ugly slag and a ***** and a whore and every name he could think of and this guy was just being vile, so my friend was like ermmm who's this guy so my stalker started shouting things at my friend saying he was going to spit on his nans grave and saying he was going to smash his face in, so we just left and found another lobby which he joined AGAIN! This guy is a low chav who has nothing else better to do and I'm sick of it, its quite embarrasing and we've tried reporting him and muting him but not all of my friends mute him becos they don't no who he is but hes still insulting me. Also I've tried appearing offline but he just goes on his recent players and joins my friends game, its really annoying...any suggestions? Thanks...

How do I stop being so shy on Xbox Live?

Shy people are more cautious than extraverts. There is a saying for extraverts: Make Sure Brain Is In Gear Before You Engage Your Mouth. Extraverts tend to say out loud every stupid thought that pops into their mind, without any thought or consideration. Shy people don't have that problem, because they are very self conscious, and careful about what they say. In my opinion, shy people are better people, less arrogant, less boastful, nicer, smarter, better to be around. My advice to you is, Don't Change.

Advice for people who are shy when gaming online?

Ok, so I have a good friend on Xbox that I talked to a few times a long time ago. He knows that I am shy and he tried to get me to talk alot to help me out of it, but it didn't work. I eventually stopped using my mic because I just felt really awkward talking to him even though he is a nice guy and my closest xbox friend. Awhile back he asked me to join his Call of Duty Elite clan and I did. I played with the group a few times and everything went ok *I never used my mic here either. Last week I was playing with him and his friend (who is also in the clan) and his friend asked if I had a mic to which he replied "I don't know" even though he knows I do, he just didn't want to sell me out and make me feel pressured :) Anyways he sent me a few messages about it and I told him that next time we played I would join up with my mic cause it was the 1st time anyone asked if I had a mic or not and I felt like I owed it to my friend to try talking to him again like we used to. Now I'm just SO nervous when he signs on because I'm afraid he is going to invite me to play and I said I would use my mic. I get that feeling like I have to give a school presentation or something haha. So were you ever shy on Xbox? How did you get over it? Any advice for someone who is shy on Xbox? Thanks for any help!


*Few important notes: I do not know my Xbox friend in real life so it isn't like I talk to him in real life and not on Xbox haha. Also I am a girl so I'm just worried how I will be treated. I had a real life friend that I played with and I would constantly talk when I played with her even to other people, but without her I'm just completely silent lol (she doesn't play anymore). If you need any other info I will update the question.

How can i stop being scared to talk on the xbox mic?

I'm shy too, so I don't talk until talked to, or I just listen to whoever is talking and if I hear them mention something I try talking about the subject.

But to be honest, first time my online friends heard me talking was when I was cursing at a game. XD Now I just don't care when I talk. I do get the whole girl harassing thing sometimes but I just ignore them.

But trust me, you'll end up talking soon. (I'm 13 too btw)

Why doesn't this shy guy talk to me even though I know he is interested in me? How do I get him to talk to me casually?

Because he is shy, duh. Now obvisouly he won't approach you because he doesn't have enough self-esteem nor confidence.What you could do though, is intentionally bump into him. MAKE him talk to you. Literally FORCE him to talk to you. Do something where he HAS to say something to you. Or if you want the less complicated method, you can also just try to engage and start the conversation.I was a shy guy too. So usually a 'hey, how are you today?' will be enough for him to atleast speak a little bit. Ask him about his interests/hobbies or what he was doing yesterday, kind of a small talk. When you talk to him, use his name. It's proven that people will be more comfortable around you when you do that. Make him talk about his passion/s. Just try to kind of give him a little push. And also don't forget to smile. Guys love it when girls smile at them. Furthermore, try to charm him by maintaining eye contact.All of this doesn't necessarily mean that he is weak, sometimes guys just need a little push.When I had my first experience with a girl she did just that. She called me first, hell she even spoke to me first, she texted me first, she hugged me first etc etc and after all that I got confident and realised what I had to do. Now it isn't a problem for me anymore.If you like him too then by all means, help him. It will be useful to him for the rest of his life.

How do I stop being shy on the mic?!?

I'm a girl, and when I play video games, everyone makes fun of me because I have a high pitch voice. Then, they say I'm an 8 year old boy. And it's super annoying. And the occasional ban - because people call me a sqeaker, and they aren't allowed on the mic.

So, after a while I formed a sort of, social anxiety to talk on the mic in front of people I just met, or people on video games. Can you give me some advice on how to fix this? :/

Also, I'm 13 - and my voice hasn't matured very much yet. So I sound like I'm 10.

Please help!
