How do I stop feeling so awkward and shy around people?
I used to be really shy. In high school, I would be scared to talk or not knowing what to say. Now, in college, I feel like I'm still shy, but I like taking more risk. So even though I am still terrified of talking to other people, I force myself to talk, but I still feel awkward around people. Sometime, I just don't have anything or I feel scared of saying the wrong things to make them think I'm weird. Does anyone have any advice I can practice to overcome my shyness?
How can I stop being nervous and awkward around my crush when he's nervous and weird too?
The best way to stop being nervous around your crush is to realize that a person likes another based on their positive attributes and common interests. Being nervous in the beginning is quite natural.It may take a little time for you each to be comfortable with one another. However, if the relationship is healthy, you will not only feel positive energy while you are around one another, you will also become good supportive friends to one another. With a good solid friendship as a foundation, a relationship can last a very long time. Just be sure to show your authentic self, so you know your crush wants you for who you really are, instead of some fake persona, for those never work out because you never allowed your true self to be acknowledged and appreciated.
How can I stop being awkward around someone that I turned down?
Talk to him. Make it clear how you feel, that you currently feel uncomfortable and would like to move beyond this and react more normally toward him. You say he was a great person to work with in the past, explain that you would like to re-kindle that relationship. Be honest while being sensitive to his feelings and make it abundantly clear that you are still not interested in a relationship but want to be easy going friends and co-workers. I would appreciate that honesty, maybe he would too?
How can I stop being so intense when I meet someone I like?
Its 6pm and the meeting is ganna be by 6:15, josh's heart started pumping hard, adrenaline rushing, here she comes, after 15 minutes that seemed like years to josh, all that affection all that love.Normal much!! I mean why do you wanna stop being intense, come on, it's a thing people wish for after years of a relationship.Yet if it's a crush your talking about ( that is someone who doesn't like you back)then its all in your hand, take responsibility, take control over your emotions, they are yours, you choose what you want to feel, and no one has got the right to make you feel a way you don't want.
Why are we so awkward around each other?
Hi ! Okay, i'll try & make this as short as i can... there's this guy that i think really liked me last year, and he'd always try to show me but I was too nervous and hesitant ! I'm 16 and i'm not used to this at all ! i was nice and smiled a lot but I didn't really flirt back... yesterday was the first day of school, and in the middle of class I looked over at him, and then he immediately looked back at me and he smiled ! I smiled back and then looked down and away lol i'm such a chicken. and then i saw him trying to catch my eye again but I just couldn't look at him... today, the 2nd day of school, we had the most AWKWARD moment we've ever shared. I felt sooo horrible. the teacher assigned seats and i sat right next to him. he smiled at me and jokingly said "go away", and then he smiled at me at random times. towards the end of class he looked over at me, smiled, then looked away, and smiled at me again lol so i did the same thing, and when i looked back at him his face was red and he was looking at his friend, who was smiling at him. we were all quiet and they were smiling at each other and i was in the middle like....uhhh....and we were silent after that, us both looking around the room. ahhh. it was the oh my gosh bell pleassse ring type feeling. and i know he was feeling it too--nervousness. Do you think he still has feelings for me ? and if so, why are we so awkward around each other ?? gosh please, please help me, I'd really appreciate it ! thank you*
Why am I so awkward around people? How can I improve myself?
TL;DR Think of awkwardness to be a disease , and awkward situations to be a vaccine. By infusing yourself with more social situations ( awkward situations for you ) , you'll ultimately kill the awkwardness. Let me tell you a personal storyIt's pretty normal , run on the mill kinds not the regular life changing stories you'll generally find on Quora.I am a pretty friendly guy and since my dad is in the Army , I've been to a lot of places and somehow met a lot of people. When I was 13 , I changed schools since my dad got posted to a new place and went to an all boys school. For 2 straight years , I was spending my entire day with 40 odd boys. For 2 straight years, I hardly talked to girls. I turned 15 and changed school again.I was now going to a normal co-ed school.I never realised that talking to girls would become a 'task' , an obstacle rather than a normal conversation.I spend one entire year being awkward around women ( very few of them realised this since I hardly talked to them , acted like I just wasn't interested ) I turned 16 ( decided I had to change) and forced myself to talk to girls.I make some of them laugh,I am sure I made some of them feel I was weird and I am also sure that I might have come off as a creep, because I did feel awkward.But I made friends. A lot of them. Most of them girls. I am 19 now. Whenever I tell people about my awkwardness a lot of them have difficulty believing it. But I know it was there and I know I've removed it , for good.The thing about awkwardness , social anxiety , feeling left out and all sorts of things like that is that it harbours on your lack of self esteem.You develop that and suddenly you're the boss. Change whatever you don't like. Just change it. You think you don't look good , work out , make a change.You think you are lazy , just take the initiative , do it.You think you are less interesting ? Read, do things , make experiences worth talking about. You think you are awkward? Create more experiences where your awkwardness comes up. Believe me it'll start going away.BE RANDOM. DIVE INTO THINGS. YOU WILL COME UP
How can I stop feeling anxious and awkward around attractive girls?
Here’s the trick I learned.Good looking girls get avoided by boys of her own age. Older boys and men are too dangerous for her to relate to. So, she can spend years alone never being asked out. Good looking guys wrongly figure that she is even out of their leagues.I saw that effect. I went right to the prettiest girl in school and asked her out. We went out a few times, but she turned out to not be very fun to know. We stayed friends into college. but nothing more.But, she taught me a bunch about dating and treated girls well (not something boys learn on the ball field or court). There were several other popular girls in school that watched us stay friends. One by one they came to me.It seems I learned how to be at ease around beauty.The girls got to enjoy some great dates and a good relationship with an awkward tall kid. I tried to be fun, and smart, and caring.I learned that it was easiest to walk up to great looking popular girls all my life, because I can be fun, bold, charming, and listen well. I have grown out of my awkwardness for the most part, and credit a 35 marriage to those counter intuitive lessons of the 8th grade.Start with best girl that other boys are intimated by. Your dating will always be easier when you understand that all people are lonely on the weekends.Good luck, Mac
