Any tips!?

Question

I'm moving schools in september and I am a naturally very shy person. Does anyone have any advice on how to make new friends and that sort of thing?? Whenever I try to make new friends, people loose interest in being friends with me, because I tend not to make much conversation becuase I am so shy. Any ideas on how to over come this???

xx thanks xx

Answer 1

If you are moving to a new school with your whole year then remember that everyone else is in the same boat as you - they'll all be nervous and feeling shy.

If you're on your own then spend some time observing your new class and work out who you'd be best off trying to make friends with - you don't want to be getting in with a crowd who will take advantage of your shy nature, look out for people who you could feel comfortable with.

Then just be yourself and be friendly, it might feel awkward or difficult for a while but you will soon settle in and find good friends :o)

Good luck

All I can say is to make the effort! Dont rely on other people coming and talking to you.

It takes about 3 weeks for something to be a habit.  So if you make the habit of talking to new people about anything, soon it will become unconscious and you'll do it all the time.

hey huny my name is melody!

you must NOT be shy any more coz it's the main reason for not havin much friends, and don't be in a hurry to have a friend, findin the most suitable friend and keep the life with, is more important than havin any friend "take care", and if a person admired you and you felt that you'll be comfortable with as a friend "you can trust them" GO introduce yourself and remember DON'T BE SHY and invite them to do any thing intresting with you, good luck at the new year of the school, hope me so plz.

Answer 5

you're not shy! you are coping with the idea that you're moving school, which solves half the problem but you dont really see it.

if you're shy others arent, do something you're good at and people will be impressed and they'll come to you as if you're a love magnet
