How can i be more outgoing and less shy?
In my experience, I've found that making eye contact with people, smiling, and just saying hello is a great way to make friends or just meet people. When your gaze crosses someone else' do you look away quickly? I usually try to look right back and at least smile ( not in a creepy way either :). This let's the person know that they've caught my attention and that I'm a friendly person, so they won't be afraid to talk to me. Even if the person doesn't smile back or looks away, I can still feel good that I made the effort. You've got a good start with sports, use that. Make friends on your teams, if you have trouble talking to someone on your team, ask them if maybe they could help you with something. It's a way for them to show off their skills ( which many people like to do) and for you to get to know them. In class, don't be afraid to raise your hand, if you have a question or know an answer, the teacher is getting paid to help you learn! The important thing is not to beat yourself up when you miss an opportunity, or to be afraid to try. More important than anything is to just let yourself have fun!! If your having fun, your not thinking about how shy you are, and no one else is either! If your not living on the edge, your taking up too much space! good luck ;)
Are you shy or outgoing?
I'm a really really shy person. I never fit in any situation and I love being alone. It's my happy time. I'm an introvert by nature and no, that does not automatically make me shy. I'm shy because that's how I grew up, people never included me in anything. But to be very honest, I liked it to a certain extent. I'm shy when it comes to deal with people and making my way through the world. I find it very very difficult to put across my feelings, even to my friends. And I keep taking everything inside of me and never let it out. I’m mostly on the ‘no calls’ mode and I can not, in any situation, initiate a conversation. Neither am I ever interested. That just became my way of life. And yes, I'm very happy with who I am and how I am.But again, there's a wild side to me too, like there is to every shy person around you, which comes out only with the people I'm too comfortable with. These people are my friends (7 in total) and my cousin. In totality, I would say that I'm a really shy person. My friends wouldn't relate to this statement but again when they first met me they did not know that this shy girl hid all this weirdness inside her. So that sums it up.-The happy panda.
Girl is less outgoing with me....bad?
This girl I talk to who when with her friends gets really bubbly and starts getting really goofy but around me she seems to be holding back a little. I ask her for help with school and she always says yes and sit with her in some classes and she doesn't mind talking to me. She smiles most of the time and jokes around a little but not to the extent with her friends. is this bad
How can I stop being shy and learn to be outgoing?
Shyness is often relatable to low confidence and self belief. The most outspoken, outgoing and extrovert people you know have this one trait in common that they possess confidence and have a great self belief. A simple way is to just do something that you know you can do but are afraid and shy to do.. You’re shy because you like to live in your own cocoon and your own sweet comfort zone.They say God helps those who help themselves; don't expect some miracle to happen to you in your dreams and you wake up to be an overtly cohesive extrovert and outgoing person.First things first, get your belief system in place that you're not going to be shy anymore and you're going to be bold, outgoing and an extrovert. Second to that, what are you shy of? Answer this for yourself. Most people are shy talking to people, addressing a gathering/group and/or doing something on stage infront of an audience; get your shyness into picture and just the get out of your comfort zone. Do unusual things, thing that you normally won't do for example talking to a random stranger; making new friends; public speaking; doing outgoing things where a number of people are involved as getting on to a stage and doing any random thing be it just for a minute or two or as simple as telling a joke. But the numero uno factor that's going to help you is your confidence and self belief, if you have and keep it then you're not going to be shy but if that's missing then my dear it's the lack of confidence that you’re naming as shyness.But whatever it is, just make up your mind and keep on fooling your mind into believing that you’re not shy, have that confidence and trust me your mind will find ways to get rid of that shyness and under confidence of yours. The greatest super power we humans possess is our Mind; either you master it and it becomes your Aladeen or it ensalves you and you become its Prisoner. Choose wisely!
What kinds of foods, drinks, make you less shy, more outgoing, talkative, energetic?
Like the others said, foods and drinks won't make you more outgoing. Unfortunately that is all up to you. Caffeine won't make you more talkative or less shy -- it just makes you jitter and kind of anxious. And if you take it in excess there can be a lot of negative side effects. In my opinion (and as some of the others said) alcohol is one way that you may be able to let go of some of that shyness. But you shouldn't just try to go crazy and drink in the hopes that it will transform you into a more desirable person. Different people react to alcohol in different ways -- like they say 'happy drunk" and "angry drunk"... it sounds stupid, I know (but it's true). But some people get happy and more relaxed when they drink but others may get very depressed depending on behavioral tendencies. Long story short, I don't think you can change your characteristics or character traits by changing your diet -- you have to just do it yourself. Hope I helped 21.f.nyc
Are people who are less than outgoing ( shy, introverted ) at a disadvantage when it comes to finding love?
I'm a 58 year old male who's spent his entire life watching other men with more outgoing personalities get all the women. I, on the other hand, am quiet and reserved and have often wondered how men such as myself ever have any luck in finding love. After all, it seems as if women just don't want a guy whose personality doesn't shine through the way the morning sun bursts upon the horizon. Any solutions, please...?
How can I be less shy around people and be more outgoing?
Firstly,you must have a meditation of why would you be shy around people.there must be something makes ours not confidient when we are shy around someone like face or abilitiy ,find it out and ask "Why it happened?""Is it meaningful but making myself worse?""Someone would really focus on it as I worried?"and ect.These fears would always be destroied because they are always false.(Look,my English level is so low but I never feel shy to talk with you :) )And then ,do more exercise and do more action which is stretching,it can make you having more energy to breakthrough yourself and accustomed to do anything "stretching"including getting on with people.In fact ,a shy girl/boy wouldn't be dislike to us and even we will think he/she is cute sometime.A person always care more if you are friendly and empathetic to others .And in a sort of way ,someone who is introvert often considers deeper .So,don't worry about it too much : )

What are some books that help you learn to be more outgoing, less shy, and more friendly?
No books necessary. Get a notebook and set yourself weekly tasks. If you’re not sure how extroverted to be, ask someone you know to help you set the tasks. Things like this:smile and say “hello” to three people on the street every day for a week. (assuming this is a safe thing to do where you live)Approach one person a day at the place you work with a work-related question.Make one work-related phone call every morning.If it’s so scary it makes you feel like you’re going to be sick, then set it up in your notebook as an experiment. Write down the task, your predictions of all the terrible things that will happen, then do the task, and then write down what actually happened. After you have 20 or 50 examples of times you were terrified and then nothing bad happened—or even something good happened!—you will be able to rationally respond to your fears.I used to be very timid. When I was in college I set myself a rule: I had to go to every party I heard about and spend at least 30 minutes there. At first I just stood awkwardly in the corner, but then I learned how to talk to people and move around and enjoy myself a bit. Now, in most situations, I’m considered extremely social. (I can still get intimidated and feel awkward in some situations, but that just makes me human.)If you try this for 6 months and you’re still just too frightened to engage, consider seeing a therapist and getting anti-anxiety medication. A lot of stars—Jennifer Lawrence, Lena Dunham, Ellie Goulding—are on medication.Good luck! Make the change now—you can do it!
Drinking == less shy?
Well drinking is never the solution to any problem that you have especially one like being shy. You just need to get more comfortable with who you are. Being not shy is really simple all you have to do is talk to people. Then the next day talk to more people and at some point you'll have gotten familiar with people and hopefully oyu won't be shy anymore. But seriously alcohol is not the answer to shyness.
