Question

Im very shy and dont talk that much..but im about to be in high school and i know i have to be talkative..help

Answer 1

I was very shy in high school, now I'm the most talkative person you'll probably ever meet. I think it really took me getting comfortable with myself to come out of my shell. Realize how great you are and whenever you are thinking something in your mind, just say it put loud. Let all them thoughts out. Good Luck

Answer 2

I was telling myself that I was gunna be all talkative and all that when I got in highschool but I continued being quiet and keeping to myself and if really ruined my first year, so dont end up like me cause it was miserable. If you are scared of being talkative or wondering what people are gunna think of you then you have to just be like, "I'm myself, and if they dont like me its their fault"...You really gotta fake it that you have all this confidence(without coming across as cocky), hold your head up high, DONT talk so quiet that nobody can hear you, and I no you have probably heard this before but join some clubs. That was one of my biggest mistakes. Then the 2nd year of highschool I was part of the crew for the plays and musicals and met lots of people that I met by forcing myself to start a conversation with if I ever got the chance. So take my advice and DO be outgoing, be the person who is really down to earth and calm and nice to everyone no matter what but also has a little attitude and knows how to have a good time. Then you'll have an okay time.

Answer 3

when i first went to high school i was really shy, i didnt talk to anyone. but then i got use to it and made friends, it may of take a while but its not that hard.

just be yourself and nothing will go wrong others are proberly feeling he same way you are

Answer 4

Talkers are in oversupply.  What makes a person popular is being a GOOD LISTENER!  

Of course, it's a good skill to be a conversation STARTER.

A question, sincerely asked, will get the ball rolling:

1.  I like your shirt (skirt, eyeliner, bookbag, etc.)  Where did you get it?

2.  Are you ready for English class?

3.  Have you seen the latest ______ movie?

4.  Does your mother also ________?

The possibilities are endless!  It's also OK to think about the questions in advance, and rehearse.

Answer 5

thata how i was....you just gotta make urself talk, find someone who seems nice and the same interests as you, thats what i did and i made lots of friends

Answer 6

Just break out of your shell, practice being talkative in your room.. but who says you have to be talkative, some boys like shy girls as opposed to talkative ones. Shy girls are mysterious and s**y. Just make sure you're not too shy, you'll scare them away. For example, smile at them and say hi back when they say Hi to you.

Answer 7

Make sure over this summer that you really solidify your friendships from middle school. Call friends and make plans where you would ordinarily wait around for someone else to call you. Also, reach out to as many school-friends as you can. As far as when you actually begin highschool, make the extra effort to join new clubs and organizations to meet new people. If the idea of joining a club of complete strangers freaks you out, bring a few friends or get to know the advisor. You don't have to be talkative but try to be a little more outgoing. You will have a much greater time in highschool if you have a bunch of friends and activities to fill your time.

Answer 8

You can contemplate the world, and that is fine. Problem arises if you are afraid of the world, which is different from being shy.

Answer 9

I am kind of having that problem too. I am also going into high school next year, and although I go to a very very small high school, I feel intimidated almost by people because I hate it when people talk about me. I don't know how big or small your high school is, but what you should do is to talk to people and not care what they think, because thats what shy people are afraid of, I think.

Answer 10

There is nothing you can really do, but learn

to be comofrtable with yourself. And that other poeple's

don't matter, they're opinion doesn't count.

And half of them are stupid anyway.

You should live your life and never let anyone

get in the way of that. Have a voice let people

know who you are.

I'm sure you have it in your girl.

Answer 11

Find other people like you, but don't let drugs be the way of making Friends. Id worry more about evil teachers and cruel hearted kids, high school is no longer a place of learning it is now a place of drugs and money, you will probably see what i mean and if you do not find out what i mean then you are doing very well.

Answer 12

Chill relax and go with the flow. Be friendly but not to friendly. Don't worry about being judged because that's something that can never be stopped. Don't worry about making the first impression just take it easy. All the other freshman will probably be the same as you most of them will probably know no one. Smile and have a good first day of high school. after you make friends you can be more of an a*****e. HaHa

Answer 13

Dont worry about that man. You dont HAVE to be talkative at all, I used to be like that but Idk when i came to this school I automatically became talkative.  Just be yourself and you'll probably just end up being talkative anyways lol.

<3!!

Answer 14

just be yourself, sometimes you just have to smile a lot. i know this is sad but people always get the first impression of you and want a good friend that they could talk to a lot just give it a try

Answer 15

I was very shy just like you and had to switch high schools my senior year!!! The truth is some people take shy people as s****. believe it or not...they will take your silence as rudeness. Honestly as lame as this sounds its ok to before you go to school think of some conversation starters...like any weird news or sports or ANYTHING at all. If all else fails you can always start a conversation with a girl about where she got her shoes/purse/ ect....Best of Luck!

Answer 16

I would say start talking to some friends! Your friends will introduce you to other people, and that way you'll probably become more talkative. I was once like you, since i met this group at school, they tell me WOW girl, you are hyper! its fun! Good luck!!!

Answer 17

No you don't... you can be one of those odd and quiet people that only talk to other odd and quiet people.

Answer 18

If you have friends stick with them but try to branch out and start a conversation with someone new.  If you don't have a lot of friends than just be nice to everyone around you and relax.  High School could be your chance to start a new reputation.  I was in your position but High School really isn't as hard as you think and it isn't that scary.  Be yourself and loosen up and you will make friends quickly.  Enjoy freshmen year because it goes by really fast.  I am a sophmore and my freshmen year flew by.

Answer 19

omg its not going to work once you shy your always shy i am shy and wanted to be loud when i got to high school but it didnt work i stayed the same but dont worry people will know you for who you are not someone you are pretending to be and youll still make friends you can even become popular

Answer 20

Thats your personality type

that makes you an speical

dont downrate it

Answer 21

just be yourself

try to talk a lil more each day untill your more confertable talking

you dont have to talk alot

like i said

just be your self

Answer 22

If you honestly want to start talking... just randomly start asking the person next to you question on your work.. and then after start a conversation. do that in every class and you'll feel more comfortable about talking!

Answer 23

If it ain't broke,don't fix it.Chances are you're doing just fine being quiet.Your fears are unfounded.For every person who is reserved,there's 10 loudmouths taking up the slack.And while they may be doing a lot of talking...they're not saying anything.Listen to there chatter for a moment you'll see.

Nobody ever heard or learned anything with there mouth open.Smart folks don't have to say much and are smart enough to know when to say what.

Answer 24

Your a girl.... I am a junior in high school and im a guy, guys want to talk to girls even though you think it would be awkward we love the attention as long as you are down to earth and not weird or bitchy. Really guys love it when you just come and talk about something. We always have to be the ones makign the moves and igniting the conversation. Its really nice when a girl gives you topics to talk about and keeps the conversation going without the guy even trying.

Answer 25

highschool is so much fun, but it is also challenging. it is time to make new friends and to be open. you just have to be yourself and have a fun time! <3

Answer 26

It's OK to be quiet. You have to try, though. Try to participate in class- maybe decide to participate 2 times per class at first and carry this out. When you feel more confident, participate more. You don't have to be talkative at all- just try to overcome your shyness. Just think- you have nothing to lose. You might even want to join some extra-curriculars in order to make friends with people who share the same interests as you.

Good luck!

Answer 27

just do something youd never do like try being a convo starter you have to step outside your shell and not care what people think chances are they will accept you because every one loves that bubbly person

Answer 28

I'm about to be in the 12th grade and I think that people make High School seem to bad. You don't have to worry about nothing when going to High School. I know kids that never said a word and they got through fine.

Answer 29

Well, My best friend is VERY shy, and doesnt like, EVER talk...all you have to do is be yourself. Dont change for others, people will learn to like you the way you are hun. Hope i helped.

Answer 30

Re-invent yourself.  Not in a "change who you are way" but in ways that'll make you more confident.  And don't act shy your first day.  Hard, I know.  But if you go around with your shoulders back, head high and a smile on your face people'll think you're a good person and they'll want to be friends with you.

Another good way is to get involved!  Join a club, do a sport.  It's so easy to make friends that way.  I joined soccer and volleyball and made tons of friends my freshmen year.

I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 31

practice in  the mirror charisma(:

go around your neighborhood and when people walk by say hi or silly stuff like "your looking very swell this evening sir" things like that make people laugh and notice you and brings confidence and eventually will result in outgoing-ness. hope that helped a little bit(:
