Im going to be a freshman next year and Im super shy.?

Question

How do I meet new people and talk to them? And how can i show some more self confidence without looking stuck up like some people do?

Answer 1

talk about the weirdest things you did.

TALK.

ask them (people) weird questions.

Answer 2

Just smile and say hi.  Just push yourself a little but don't lose touch of who you truly are.  It's okay to be shy.  Just try to smile as much as you can.  I was shy in school and I think some people mixed it with being a bi$ch because I would be shy, therefore nervous, and not smile.  Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a loner or anything.  My point is, just a smile and a hello can go a loooonng way.

Get involved in extracurricular activities.

Answer 3

well this is the time to change, be more friendly and open minded to others, politely introduce yourself to a class mate that sits next to you, say "hello, my name is _______, i hope this class will be interesting." or something along that line...the key though is to be open minded and friendly so it can show in your body language and attitude.

goodluck!

Answer 4

Find someone to talk to about Reliant K.

There are a lot of campus groups. If you are looking to socialize, you will likely find some group that shares your passion. Even if there is nothing on campus, univeristy towns or large cities with univerisites have many different groups.

Also, you will meet most of your friends through your classes. Unlike high school, once you start taking classes in your major, you will be taking classes with people who share your job aspirations and your interests. Don't worry about the self-confidence thing. You will likely naturally grow in to it, especially as you become familiar with the university setting and come to master your field. If you do feel it is a big problem, all schools have counselors you can talk to.

It might also be helpful if you are going to be going to school with at least one friend from home.

Answer 5

Gosh, just breathe, and go for it.  You will never know if you do not go for it.  You will have the time of your life reaching out to people and finding those who would like a connection with you.  Remember, relax, breathe, and go for it.

Answer 6

well the first thing is don't pretend that u r something that u r not.... second kind of talk around and see who u click with and just be real calm at first and if u see some people u are cool or connect with there u go u dont need that many friends as long as u got a few good ones.... next confidence lies within and how u carry yourself dont go around with your nose up but dont look down either hold your head up and show that you know what u want in life and who u r even if u dont and dont worry about what people say be yourself

Answer 7

don't try too hard....and just BE YOURSELF! there are way too many freshman who try way too hard to be something their not or try way to hard to work their way up the chain...just be yourself and talk to other people. you definately will meet new people and have a ton of fun your freshman year...don't worry about it =)

Answer 8

I have always been shy and still am. I have moved so many times and for me, making friends hasn't gotten easier. I know how you feel. As a freshman, it makes it worse.

From my experiences, I can tell you the first thing to remember is that you are NOT the only freshman there. Also, don't stare at the floor.

Look around and find someone else sitting alone. They may be shy too. If you make eye contact with anyone, always smile.. even if their expression isn't exactly friendly looking. Make small talk about classes you have or the school. If you like their clothes, mention that.

A great time to find new people is at lunch, when you can really sit and talk without being interrupted by bells or teachers. Just start with "can I sit with you?" Anyone who says no isn't worth your time anyway. And if they say its okay sit down and introduce yourself.

As always, it is most important to be yourself.

Answer 9

i was suuuuuper shy when i was younger. most of my shyness was self-consciousness. i would worry what other people thought of how i looked, what i said, etc. i got over it by thinking to myself, whenever i felt shy, "if i were them, would i be judging me right now?" the answer was usually no!

you just have to learn to be comfortable with yourself. which can be difficult. if you have something to add to a conversation, say it. i found that people generally really liked it when the "shy kid" talked.

Answer 10

Answer 18

just be your self and if ppl don't like you then they aren't the kind of friends you want

Answer 19

You cannot change your inner feelings but you can fake it till you make it by 'acting' confident. A smile is really good to have. Just ask questions in a nice way and that opens conversations. But dont take it too seriously especially with the girls who can be very mean and clique ish. Just realize you wont see these people again after high school and the reason you are there is to get good grades, not be popular . The popular people are always the losers at the reunions anyway and the nerds who studied are the coolest ten years later.  Just be a good person doing your job and who caares if some one THINKS you look stuck up. You arent and that is what matters. PLEASE do not worry about high school-it isnt worth it
