How can I talk to people?

Question

I have a problem: I don't know how to talk to people. In school, I'm always shy and I don't know what to say. I've been with my classmates for 9 years and I still don't know how to talk to them. I mean, all I can say is "hi! how are you?" or "sup?". what else should I say? I mean, saying what they're favorite color isn't gonna help because they think it's cheesy and even I think it's cheesy. It's not like we've never met before. What should I do?

Answer 1

talk about your classes or teachers this year.  tell them about your summer and ask about theirs.  tell them that you like their shirt or...hair, or....whatever.  when you talk it's important to make eye contact completely with a smile.  everyone loves to talk about themselves.  do it.  and have a nice fun year.
