So nervous about the fact that school is starting...?

Question

Hey,

I'm going to be junior in high school when school starts, I've already went to this same high school as sophmore year but the year didn't go so well, I screwed up countless social invitations and potentials throughout the year, I don't really look forward on going back, seeing as how I probably won't be able to change/improve much since i've already made my impression.

Is there any way to salvage my reputation as being quiet and not talking much to one of socially successful? (I've found that I've thrown plenty of opportunities to get to know girls away and I don't know who I could possibly ask to prom this year, unless I get to know someone?) How?? @_@ argh why am i so shyy, any help?

THanks

Answer 1

stick with the people you know but don't be afraid to be outgoing.  and i am quite shy as well but if you are too afraid of making mistakes then you cant improve so try talking to other shy people for starters and you will find it a lot more promising then doing nothing about it at all.

Answer 2

I was shy growing up (and home schooled!) but after school I realized that I didn't miss anything; in fact not getting all socially involved help me concentrate on things like studying, learning and getting smarter. Those things will take you light years farther than social status ever can.

Girls are fun, yeah, but you'll have a lot smaller chance of getting venereal diseases if you stay busy with school and just wait till you get married. Trust me, I did it, and I'm perfectly fine for it!

Answer 3

I totally understand, I feel the same way. You don't have to be shy though, just because you were last year. Make friends with thee people who are kind of "shy". You'll be fine.  

Answer 4

Try your mom's antidepressants, then a jar of vodka.

Answer 5

Do something crazy funny. Trust me it works!

Answer 6

Well, the only advice I can possibly give you is to try to keep to yourself at first, let them see that you are infact as shy as you seem. Then people will start to get to know you, & you can loosen up a little.

I know it sounds pretty stupid, but that's what i've always done.

& it always seems to work.

my daughter joined clubs got involed then you can relax while you play a sport or help the drama club or school paper pick something you have an intrest in and get into it

freinds happen when you least expect it those bonds last a lifetime

do you , or be you

don't worry so much

real life is nothing like high school any way

relax  

Answer 8

get a makeover and act as if the year before never happened

pretend that people are seeing the new you, but dnot change compeltey bcuz then u wont be true to urself

and hey ur not alone, most ppl in high school find it hard to get ppl to no wthat they can change or whatever

DONT BE SHY, keep telling urself positive things ur head, and dont make a big deal out of it, you might meet a girl whos also shy that u wil be compatible with

and uh u defintely u have to get know someone

like hello u cant just see a pretty face and like WHAM they're ur gf forever

Answer 9

Just be yourself and try to have a good time

Answer 10

Sounds like you need to change your mental attitude. If you think nothing will change, then nothing will. Try to work past your fear or whatever it is that's holding you back and put yourself back out there and see what happens. If nothing good comes of it then you really haven't lost very much.  Right?

Answer 11

If you find out how to stop being so shy, tell me.

Cause I would LOVE to know.

Sorry. I'm not any help.
