Answer 1

You don't stop being shy in 2 weeks.  Try to make just one good friend to begin with and then you can become friends with that person's friends.  That is how to build friendships and you will overcome your shyness with time.  I did.

Answer 2

don't be nice  

Answer 3

imagine that you're just around family. you're not shy around your family, are you? besides, if you show your true colors and what a great person you really are, you'll probably gain a lot of friends from it! if you're afraid of being put down for showing who you are, then that's those jerk's problem. not yours. if they can't handle your awesomeness, ignore them. they don't deserve it anyway. ;) in short, just don't be afraid, and go for it!!! Good luck and GOD BLESS!! =)

Answer 4

I used to be really shy, still kind of am. You need to throw away your inabitions. Seriously - look in the mirror and talk. Get used to the sound of your own voice. Listen to people and get them to talk more, that is always easier! People love a good listener who touch on the points of their conversation. Most of all, be yourself!!
