I know why im shy so just how do i overcome it?

Question

Im really shy. not just to the opposite gender but to everyone. im mostly shy because when i was younger i used to have talking problems. so i always got made fun of for talking. and then i took speech class and my talking got normal but everything i said was stupid. i still feel like that now, 8 years later. and like whenever ui say something i always ruin it. i can be saying a joke but i tell it so bad that its not funny, kinda like marty on finding nemo. and also, not be racist or anything, but seriously, im a little white girl at my school and everyone elese is big and tall and ghetto. [no offense to anyone!] so im scared to talk and im really shy. how can i overcome this plz help? !

Answer 1

the way you can overcome is it is by believing in yourself. Volunteer more with stuff, play sports, get out there. If I knew you well enough I would say psh! come kick it wit me cuz I am not shy! I make people talk with out making them, and if people were really your friends than they wouldnt care how you talked because if you sounded silly they'd laugh at the fact that you sounded silly and make fun of not you but the joke and an insider between you and that person would come out of it and then you'd feel more comfortable you know? I'm black, and I get told all the time that I am a white girl lol I am mixed but I am LOUD lol and retarded and times, your speech isnt necessarily a bad thing because you could make it into a good thing and just be silly with it because dude! I am like the silliest person you would ever meet and by the way my name is Danae' I can say the stupidest things and like laugh at myself, but all you probably need to get out more and also it depends on the type of friends you have that can make you feel more comfortable with yourself. If you ever want to talk just email me! [e-mail]!
