I am way too shy to even talk to my own family and way too cautious to make friends. I thought of changing my personality into becoming more of an outgoing person, but everyone else says that is changing who i am. well no one wants to be the shy one in the corner with no friends to talk to 24/7, and quite frankly it makes my life boring.

How do I overcome shyness to become more of a "friendly" person?

it sounds lik your in highschool, and your board becuase you see all these things happenning around you that you aren't participating in becuase you feel that your too quiet and no-one is inviting you to participate in them. highschool is no cake walk, people will make fun of the things you say, things you do, and the reasons you say/do them. It's easy to be shy, but the best way to get over being shy is to be yourself.

here:
-don't worry about who you make friends with... highschool may have a social class system, but don't just try and be friends with kids who are popular just so you can rise to the top and participate in alll the "fun" things that they do. Be friends with everyone.

-Find people who are intrested in the same things as you.

-Sit at different lunch tables. Get to know people, and don't give up. Kids are assholes they will make fun of you, but if there is an empty seat take it. If kids are being dick heads move, and find another new table.

-If you have close friends... don't ditch them for anything! stay friends with your roots, and let them know what you're doing so they don't feel like your ditching them.

-BE YOURSELF! if your quiet all the time, and you don't know what to say... shutup! don't just jump into a group of people and start blabbing away... let them talk to you, and only say what you feel you chould say. Eventullay you will feel confortable around them, and will be able to freely talk to them about things. Don't try and make things up to be cool...

-Don't get dissapointed in yourself, and/or angery at other people... No-one is the same, and many people will just be assholes to you. It's not because your you. It's becuase they are assholes
