How can i become more con fident and out spoken?

Question

I really want to become a lot louder and be able to join in the conversation and laughter at work instead of sitting quietly, too scared to say anything? Any tips on how to become louder instead of shy?

Answer 1

Try to imagine that you are a different person. Invent a different name for yourself. Just take this as an interesting game, something like acting, playing the role of a sociable person.

Try to find people who are also "sitting quietly" and initiate conversations with them. If you join in a conversation and say something nice about the speakers, e.g about their ideas, they will be pleased to listen to you
