How can I become more outgoing and confident?

to stop caring about what other people think about you and just listen to yourself, do things that you want to do. Once you're comfortable with yourself and the world around you, you will naturally start to feel confident.

You really just need to think positively of yourself! To really be confident you need to be satisfied with how you look and who you are, not constantly worrying about what you look like like most people in highschool! Both guys and girls will respect someone who doesn't put down themselves, their family or others, and who smiles! Smile at people you know, wave in the hallway, that sort of thing. To be more outgoing, become more involved at school! Do extracurricular activities and sports, you'll meet all kinds of people! Always act relaxed and be nice... If you are positive, happy, and fun, people are going to want to be your friend!

You cannot drastically change it if that is your personality (the outgoing part I mean) Some people are just shy! You can try joining a different activity at school and talking to more people. Give compliments, but don't be fake or insincere.

Sometimes i need help in this myself but i think that if you feel confident you look confident when you make yourself look nice and you take the time to do your hair or choose your clothes it makes you feel like you look good so you become more confident...at least thats how i see it...

I was shy and introverted throughout my entire high school career and after i graduated i decided to see a therapist and it really helped. It's just a matter of how you look at your fears. Everyone gets nervous and everyone get's shy but you just have to look at your nerves as something that is an obstacle, sure but it isn't going to stop you from doing something. When you let your nervousness stop you from doing something is when you have the problem. And believe me the more you put yourself out there and the more you say screw the shyness and just do it the easier it will get I also suggest joing a theatre class or something social like that to force yourself into situations where you have to deal with other people. good luck!

I agree with Akhs. You have to believe in yourself. And have fun! I do for a fact know that there are clubs you can join. Join some! And maybe try to make new friends. Ask people to sit with you at lunch and ask about their interests. That's pretty much how I meant my bestiess. And just be yourself. They're obviously a treat friend if they like you for who you are. And remember to smile! C: Good luck in the New School!

Well first of all believe in yourself and do what you know is right.Meet people, be a sport.

first you got to realize that being more outgoing can mean 2 things. more outgoing sexually and becoming a slut, or more outgoing in a good way. very rarely will u find guy that isnt a sex addict. doesnt make since, think about it

Try hanging with a really outgoing/popular group at school and you will eventually be more confident and feel better.
