Question

Ive always been really shy when it comes to being with people i dont know, what can i do to be less shy?

Answer 1

I can be the same way so i know how you feel. I've learned that if i take a friend with me when i;m around new people it makes it alot easier to talk and be open. If you don't have a friend though just try to be confident,act like the new people have been your friends for years. And don't worry about what people might think of you.

Answer 2

Join some clubs or organizations. If you are in school, start participating in extracurricular activities. Take it in small steps.

If you are older, look into any club or fun activity. Visit once and see if you like it. Lions Club, Toastmasters, Church groups, etc. Lots of opportunities to meet non-judgmental people.
