What Can I Do To Be Less Shy?

Question

I'm 15 and I have great friends, but I've never had a boyfriend. It's sometimes hard for me to be outgoing and talk to people I don't know well because I get very self-conscious. Because of this, people think I have no personality which is definitely not true.

So, what can I do to raise my self-esteem and show people I'm worth knowing? I also want guys to realize I'm not some zero-personality girl so I can (hopefully) get a nice, sweet boyfriend.

Answer 1

First off -

You have to be confident about the points you make. Only say something that's intelligent. Be wary of the 'nervous laugh'.

Stand (or sit) up straight, make your point. So what if nobody agrees.

The girl thing - is all about confidence. You have to know; not want; but know your self worth (think fight club).

You may need to alter your 'circle of friends'; depending on yourself and your sense of humor, i've often found that you may be too intelligent for 'normal people' to get you. Often a problem with internet people.

Stick with it, know and love yourself.
