I'm a really introverted, shy, quiet, unsocial kid. Its just I'm nervous around being people and bad at talking with people. I'm not nervous around people I know closely, but I'm really not a person that would get a lot of friends easily. I'm a bad public speaker for the related reason as well, and I'm just not a social person at all and I'm really bad at understanding people and body language as well. Any advice or suggestions for improving this?

when you start college / working or something you'll be thrown into a new pool of people
perhaps that will spark some change in you and you'll open up a bit more : )
give yourself some time to grow

Eh, don't worry about it. Just try to be more outgoing and social every chance you get. Eventually you'll grow out of it.



I also have the same problem, getting better though!

Getting a job will help, alcohol tho... don't see that as the best option. Also get involved in activities you enjoy, ie. If you like Starcraft find someone in your area who does aswell.

Well the work part happened and that's when I came into this problem.

Actually alcohol kind of improved my shyness a lot. I went from drinking very rarely like 3/4 months ago to drinking casually and I've noticed I'm a lot more outgoing and not so shy anymore. Not that that is the best option but I can't say it didn't do anything for me.
Then again I wasn't looking to be more outgoing at the time. It just kind of happened on it's own.

imo opinion it would be the social atmosphere (party) with alcohol as just the catalyst to go to the party. There are a lot of people who drink that you don't want to make friends with.

It will be uncomfortable, but hey rome wasn't built in a day.

It's like Starcraft. You have to actually force yourself to do it before it'll come easy.

I agree with the rest, college, work, alcohol helps with this.

Confidence is key. I think the easiest way is to overcome that barrier. Like honestly, you might think that other people think you're shy or wtv, but that's all in your head. Getting to hang out with really outgoing people will help too

You are who you are man. Dont beat yourself down for being shy. If you genuinely want to be more out going, rather than thinking that you being shy is just a 'bad' trait, then just work at talking to other people. Simply that. Nothing else to it, just force yourself to go out in the open and communicate. You may never become completely open to large social situations, but you will be better at it.

I'm on the introverted side myself, actually just made a similar blog post about it.. so I dunno if you you want my advice but just start w small talk, make little jokes, say what's on your mind (obv this can backfire so be careful)
How do you like them apples, ho-bag? And how do you like those very same apples, Eggars!

It takes a lot of practice. Get a hyper extroverted friend, force yourself to take part in group activities and possibly read some books on correct communication and self belief.

I was very shy for ages, and now I am the one who is always doing presentations and questioning the lecturer's assertions during busy lectures.
