I guess i'm just too quiet!? help me crack!!!!!?

Question

okay so i'm going to be a sophomore in high school in a couple of weeks, and i need some advice. i'm usually known as the girl that basically NEVER talks, but i wanna change that. do you guys know any way i can get some conversations started to make more friends. i'm sick of knowing hardly anyone. i just don't like that at all. please help! :[

Answer 1

just introduce yourself! show them that your a nice person. even just ask for the time or ask somebody if they can show you how to get to a certain class.

Answer 2

ok first of all relax!! the more you worry about it and get worked up the more paranoid and shy you will be! i used to be realllly recluse and not talk to anyone. conversations are easy peasy, start by talking about where they are from what they are studying, then things like what music, films, hobbies, and as soon as you strike common ground you will be able to talk about that in depth!

the key is to be confident inyourself. all the best, rich.

Answer 3

I was the same way, Hon!

Kinda still am.

I totally know where you're coming from! I rowed the same boat before. Kinda still do.

The few friends I DO have think I'm positively lively!   Don't be afraid to show your true self to people. Don't be afraid to jump and yell "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!" Yea, that might be a bit random, but trust me it's a lot more fun than it looks! ;]

But in the classroom or hallways it's like I have this aura around me and people either look away or stare and move.

I don't like to waste time and don't exactly warm up to people I don't know. It's rare if I ever spark a conversation unless I'm soooo intrigued or interested in someone I'd like to have as a friend.

But don't be so stubborn to speak! You could miss good friendships!

But keep your work balanced and your social life too!

When I'm in tenth grade our tests were the MOST Important. I don't know if that's how it is where you are, but it should always be important to keep that balance going.

I've always been my teachers' "best" student, but have also been the sweet shy one everyone knew but didn't know anyone at all.

In my school..we have over 2,500 students, of the whole group I have two friends. T W O. 2.

I'm looking to change too, but you have to realize that there's a difference in friendship and wasting time-- TAKING UP SPACE!!!

Don't do that! Learn the difference.

There are people who are friends, and people who are associates. They don't belong in the same category! lol Trust me. One you barely think about and the other you want to hang out with and have a relation with to the end-- they're there for you.

If you really want to make some new friends, try to be more open and ya know..happy! Be spontaneous. Take a chance! If you really want it, you can have it! Be comfortable. Relax. Ask questions. Make statements! Don't be shy!

I hope this helps! If not sorry for wasting your reading!

Answer 4

just let all your worries go away. You have so much to offer and you probably don't even realize it! I know it sounds cliche, but really, everyone is unique and brings something special to the table. Start by mingling with with small groups of people. Just be comfortable with yourself; others will notice if you respect yourself, and they will surely respect you for that.
