I’m really shy when it comes to making new friends. Besides the friends
I’ve had, like, forever... I haven’t really picked up any new ones in
the past few years. It sucks because my other friends are super social and
have tons of people that they hang out with, but that just leaves me in the
dust when they do. How do you get over being shy to start talking to new
people? Like, do you just say “hello”? Or... I don’t know. It seems
like it would be awkward if you’ve never talked to someone before. Does
anyone have any suggestions?

take it as a challenge, just start to saying hi to a person u know from school
or work and build up from there, whoever u get along with most makes it easier,

I'm super shy, but at school I'm really outgoing so at school everyone know me
for being really loud and crazy. I think it's when I with my friends, I'm way
more comfortable. I remember at my dance, I asked this group of guys to dance
with me and my friends because we wanted to ask them and we felt bad for them. I
think it's when you put yourself out there and decide to do say hi to someone.
As scary as it is sometimes just putting yourself out there is the best way to
get over shyness.

i was always really shy until i started hanging out with my besties that i have
right now. they are all very outgoing and they helped me over come being shy so
maybe u can get them to help out! or just make an effort to tell people hi thats
wat i do and some people are like wat just happend and others really appreciate
it so dont be afraid to show the true u to others!:D

I just take a big breath and then I start talking and it does make me a lot less
shy. It is really weird with me because I will be quite loud outside in the
grounds of school and then really quiet inside in my classes. And I usually make
friends outside.

i am the same way, but i have come to find out that no matter how rediculous you
sound, start the convo, then maybe you will find life friends!

Just be yourself that's pretty much all you have to do. And generally saying "
Hello " is a good start to meeting some one new..Try it wouldn't hurt ya. Take
care, later.
