How can i be more outgoing in the classroom?

Question

I'm very outgoing with my friends and even with strangers in small non-pressured enviornments, but when it comes to school none of my friends are in my classes and everyone has someone to talk to but me probably because i'm very shy in a school enviornment. How can i overcome this awful feeling like I can't make friends in the classroom? Thx!!

Answer 1

haha, i'm like that too. well cant help it but first impression counts. even if you have to be a bit lame you have you go introduce yourself to others, like "nice to meet you my name is ______ whats yours?"

or something like that -_- well that starts it off and you can only make friends if you become more open and friendly. good luck :D

Answer 2

Know no one in there is important to you yet so why care what they think and if someone wants to talk in a friendly sincear manner go for it just dont say anything you wouldnt want on the front page of the paper just in case.....Good luck.

Answer 3

When it's time to work in groups, instead of saying "can I be in your group" (which makes you look desperate) say "would you like to be in my group" with makes you seem much more confident.  If someone in class does something dumb, silently make eye contact with someone and make a goofy face (acknowledging the dumb person).  It will help you make a connection with someone, and give you something to talk about after class ("can you believe so-and-so did such-and-such" etc.).

Answer 4

introducing!!

smiling and looking confident is great

try to say hi to the person next to you

she might be your next best friend

that happened for me and once you get to know her and become

more confident just go up to people and say, "hi, i'm _____."

other people are shy too so they might be grateful that you spoke to them first!!
