How can I be more outgoing?

How can I be more outgoing again?

• I'm naturally an introvert, but back in high school i became more outgoing over time and i was that way for a while. However, now i'm 21 and i've gone back to being more shy and awkward. I don't know what happened. I also notice that i've started having inferiority thoughts. Like when i think about talking to someone the way i used to when i was outgoing, i feel like might get annoying or something. It's weird. I feel like I've gone back to the way i used to be when i was little and i want to be outgoing again but i don't remember exactly what i did in high school to become more outgoing. Any tips? And any ways i can remind myself that i'm not annoying. That's the biggest thing that stops me and makes me uncomfortable talking to people

• Answer:

  Believe in yourself Be brave...but it's ok to be afraid sometimes Study hard Give lots of kisses Laugh often Don't be overly concerned with your weight, it's just a number Always try to see the glass half full Meet new people, even if they look different to you Remain calm, even when it seems hopeless Take lots of naps.. Be weird whenever you have the chance Love your friends, no matter who they are Don't waste food RELAX Take an occasional risk Try to have a little fun each day. ...it's important Work together as a team Share a joke with friends Fall in love with someone.. ...and say "I love you" often Express yourself creatively Be conscious of your appearance Always be up for surprises Love someone with all of your heart Share with friends Watch your step It will get better There is always someone who loves you more than you
