What can I do to stop being shy?

How can I stop being so shy?

  • I'm 13 years old and in 7th grade. I'm really shy. But wait! That isn't the real me! I've been shy since first or second grade. Everyone says I'm quiet, even my best friends did sometimes, but not anymore. I guess they finally really got to know me! I have no friends at my school, I have two best friends but they go to different schools. I see them every day only because we live very close by. I'm supposed to be going to one of their schools next year, and I've already met her friends I know three people there already. I think this will probably be a good idea. But for now, everyone is avoiding me and looking at me weird. I hate it when people stare at me, I just do. I can't stand it. Its so annoying. I don't mind if they just look at me, but when they start staring its like "What are you looking at?" The most annoying thing about being shy is that I want to express the real me so badly, but then people will be shocked that I'm talking. I actually talk a lot at home, and to my friends. I laugh at everything and I have to admit I annoy people when I get bored. If I expressed myself at school, what would people think? They're just used to that shy outcast with no friends. How can I just stop? Thanks!

    Accept the fact that nobody is judging you, they're busy thinking about themselves. Talk to more people and join school activities.

Just be yourself! Get out of the shell. Sometimes you've got to take challenges, whether you like it or not. Tomorrow at school, brace yourself. If you don't want to talk to someone directly, here's another good plan. When there's a conversation going on, say something funny out loud. Just do it, not once but often. Keep adding in, keep talking! Share experiences you've had about spring break or something. Share! Talk! As scary as you may think it is, its really fun. I used to be like you too. Trust me, after you do it you get the best feeling ever like I just talked!

First of all, you already know you are amazing! The hard part is over! If you express yourself more, people will see the real you and they will love it. I'm in 7th grade too and to speak from experience, it's better to have a few best friends than tons of not so good friends. Be more confident, if you act like you are amazing they will know it to. Show them the real you, when there shocked that you are talking, just keep on talking. When you go to your new school, they won't have pre-set ideas about you, show them the real you and if they accept it, that is a real friend! But i'm sure they will cause you sound like an awesome person! -Hope this Helps!
