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's a good thing to want to improve oneself, but don't completely change your personality - you may lose sight of who you really are. Anyway, I could relate to you on this topic; I am a very shy and passive person as well. As for trying to start talking to others, look for nice people who seem to usually be by themselves. It may turn out that they would like to make a friend, too. Also, joining a club at school is usually a great way to meet new people; you could just start talking to people at meetings, and you will always have something to talk about, since you guys are there for similar purposes. Complimenting people is also a great way to initiate conversations - you don't need to exaggerate and tell a big lie or anything, something simple and true like "I like your shirt" would work.
