How can i become more outgoing?

Question

i am very very shy, i dont talk to pl unless they talk to me. how can i become more outgoing?

Answer 1

try to talk to people u wouldn't normally talk to.....if ur really that shy then do different activities that more people do.

Answer 2

omg i have the same problem

what i do is think of someone who you know is outgoing and try acting like them even though it is like really hard for a shy person to do

like outgoing people are more liked anyway and if your outgoing and approach someone whats the worst thing that could happen........yah maybe that person might like say something mean to you or something like that but whatever just shake it off

also another big think that helps me is if i want to approach someone or if im in a situation where i feel shy to do anything i usually get someone to go with me like a good friend and all of a sudden i become so much more outgoing when someone i know  is with me

Answer 3

well i am very shy too

and i just force myself to talk to people

of course it has to make sense, or else it would just be filling up space. I find people that i feel comfortable with. Usually the funny people. Then i just talk to them. I ask about school stuff mostly, but whatever i do, makes me get friends in like 30 minutes of talking to them. Make small tasks for yourself, each one testing your social abilities. And remember, do it when your ready, dont go in really nervous. Stay calm also. And smile. I magnetize people with my smile, and most of the time i dont even try to make friends. I hope this helps

Answer 4

Dont be afraid to talk to people.  People are just people and the same as you.  But dont become fake like how everyone else is.  

Answer 5

Guess what you are already doing something by asking for help!

that is the biggest thing to realize you want to change your ways and join in with others and be social.  

No matter your age or place in life you can join some social group find something that relates to your tastes in sports, cultures, hobbies or anything that appeals to you.

If you do this one thing you will become more relaxed and start opening up to others.  There are many people like yourself some take action and do something about it and others remain quiet and not very social. It's all up to you to take the first step. It's really not painful it's uplifting after you open a door and walk in.

Answer 6

Its going to take a lot of work. Although I did hear they just created a pill for shyness!

But short of that! You are going to have to be force yourself it may feel fake but do it. There is a book called Feel the Fear and do it any way go read that.

Another thing to do is go to a mall and say hi to every person you see, try to start a conversation, of course make sure you have something to talk about maybe need a recommendation on something or ask the time.

You have to get over your fear of talking to people.
