New school year?

Question

This year I'll be a Junior and I'm STILL extremely shy, I have trouble talking to people b/c I care too much about what other people think about me. I've been like this since 5th grade and it poes me! But I feel like I can't control it. And I'm really nervous I'll have classes with a guy I used to like, and that he'll make fun of me. I want to be more outgoing but I'm too shy to. How could I get over my shyness and caring what other people think about me?

Answer 1

Well I was shy when I first got into high school and then I realized...Why should I be shy theres nothing to be shy about. Try talking in class and raising your hand a lot. Going out for sports is a great way to meet friends and become outgoing. I have been a cheerleader since 4th grade, I have made so many lifelong friends and have slowly come out of my shy shell. Who cares what people think about you I'm sure your a nice person well that's all that matters. These kids in your highschool after senior graduation you'll never see them again so who cares? Okay I used to be super shy and theres no need to be, you only live once!

Best of luck!
