become outgoing? Options

[angelrevelation]

i guess take little steps at a time... and have your friends go places with you so you can meet more people easier, and you don't feel so scared or awkward.

just progressively start talking more in class, extend your friendships. smile, joke around laugh more. or, here's a trick.. think of one of the girls at your school that's really cool and outgoing or whatever your goal is. just watch her and get some tips from her actions. simple as that.

it took me 4 years to be like that.. i was so shy freshman year.. i think all u have to do is keep talk and talking and talking and eventually it will stick to u where u talk to other people.

exactly the same here- wow, it was so hard to get to the point where I am now.

anyway, what i did was i put myself in social situations that made me uncomfortable. like maybe if someone invited me to.. say.. rock climbing, even if i was afraid that i'd fall on my butt and embarrass myself, i forced myself to go. and i usually ended up having a lot of fun =)
(this is for the extremely shy person btw, hope you're not that shy)

another thing i did was i started to talk to random people i didn't know, in class or wherever. you can make a lot of friends this way, even if you're awkward you'll at least have made an impression in their mind and chances are you will become friends.

yup, like everyone else said, smile a lot and say hello to people. i think smiling is the most important factor in giving off a friendly impression which will make people like you.

#1 Be yourself, never become something you are not, just to make people like you. If they don't like you its their loss! =]

#2 Join some clubs

#3 Make some new friends, but never ditch your old ones!

ummm I'll probably think of some more later, hope that sort of helped!

lols you should join like clubs, sports, or any kind of orginazations that interest you at your school. i know it sounds geeky to be involved in school, but you have an oportuniy to talk to more people. you need to just relax and not think about "being outgoing" just be yourself. don't try to be something you're not. hehe it's worked for me, i'm sure it should work for you?
