How can i talk more?

Question

I go to school and have barely any friends and if they are i rarely see them or they don't talk to me much.And I just wanna be able to make new friends this year but how do i have conversation?There is this class in front of me is this boy and not that i like like him i just want to help break the quiet a little because while everyone in the class is talking just a bit where i sit 4 people me and him are quiet and i think it would be awkward to just say hi and if i do what do i say next if i don't know him.And well in back of him is a boy who'd always teased me like everyone seemed to do last year.I think he liked me or he was bothering me to get on my nerves.But I think hes a bit changed because at the lunch line he talked to me a bit more normal like i think everyone should talk to me.But I'm pretty shy too its just that i get real nervous and stuff.But there is the option about talking to the blonde next to me on the left but I'm not so sure

Answer 1

It's never rude / awkward to tell someone "hi", i'm sure if you said hello to the boy in front of you, he'd appreciate it and talk back. don't be afraid of making new friends. as for the boy behind you, he's prolly just getting more mature (or maybe he does like you).if all else fails, pretend you're having trouble understanding something in the class and ask the boy infront of you or the blonde next to you if they understand what's going on. Do you talk alot around your family? Is there someone close to you that you do talk to? If so, just pretend that everyone is that person and talk to people you don't know as if they were someone else. you seem like a good person and don't get down on yourself, sometimes it takes more time for others to open up, i'm sure you will one day. find someone that likes the same things you do, this way you'll have something in common to talk about, which is much easier to handle if you're shy.

I was just like that in school when i was younger too. don't worry too much and keep your chin up, you'll be fine
