You can start out by being friendly towards girls first. Especially the ones you don't know. When you feel comfortable, it's always good to joke around in a funny way. Once you think you can handle it, try it towards opposite sex. Then you'll start being outgoing. It also helps when you join activities like sports or NHS because people recognize you more and that's when your reputation grows.

truthfully, i took Drama and i was forced to lose my stage fright if i wanted to pass the class. it REALLY helped me out. i used to only have a few friends and now i know someone or meet someone EVERYWHERE i go.

Walk around topless.

i can't give better advice than what's already been said. self-confidence really is the key though. if you're comfortable with yourself then it makes other people comfortable around you. outgoing friends always help, the number one place to go for them is the theater. drama kids are ALWAYS out there. fearless, we are. if theater's not your thing, then find something you are interested in. i promise there will be other people who are interested too.

I KNOW IT'S SO ANNOYING. ARRRRGH.

just always try to be yourself no matter what . try to take pride in yourself with less ignorance .and try to use your unordinary attributes and make into something positive as though your trying to show the other crowd. that way the outer crowd would get you .

do something crazy.
you'll get addicted to it, i promise.


seriously, it's not bad to be a bit shy.
some people are TOO outgoing.
just get involved, meet some people, HAVE FUN!

^ that kidna thing only works for some people..doing something crazy.


but i like what someone told me, join a club and get comfortable talking to more people

[clarity]

if you do something crazy... don't do something illegal.
thats advice.

hmm.. ur kinda shy? lucky... im a little too loud and outgoing... ... but i was shy *alot of people dont beleive that* and what helped me was acting. I take acting classes at usc *even though im only in 7th grade* and thats a talent taht i discovered that helped me talk to other people. yah so try different clubs activities... hmmm i dont noe if im jst a dork but i like debate club as an activitie and that should help... its lots of fun... so jst find something that will get u used to being around other people... hmmm i hope this helped

mhm. thats what i did too. joining drama puts you out there. i mean even if youre shy to get up in front of people beleive me its cool once youve done it a few times. after a few performances youre more confident in yourself and more comfortable around other people. try it.

Ask your friends to go out to eat together or what-not. Just simply ask them.

i still am shy but not as shy as i was before...like i talk a lot with people i know. but with other people who arent close to me or dont know who i am, i am totally shy to 'em

Well suprisingly... when i was in kindergarten-5th grade. I was SUPER shy. After i started middle school i started hanging around people that are more outgoing. I think that the Thing to make you out going is just people you hang out with. Usually the reson why people are shy is because they hang around people tht dont trust people.

Not that i'm telling you to switch frineds. But the thing i've done to make me outgoing was to trust the people i hanged out with and loosend up. ;]]

[Serendipity]

don't worry. i used to be shy too, when i was eh, kindergarten age? but just be friendly; don't be afraid to introduce yourself to people. it may seem awkward at first, but just go for it, and be yourself. (=

[ahhhhhh2006]

I have the same problem as alot of these people.
In school i feel so nervous around people.
I hate it. i feel really imtimidated around everyone else.
I don't know how to change. when i was younger the used to have a bunch of friends but since i got to high school it all changed

[Joss-eh-lime]

You just need to be able to speak your mind with confidence.
Believe in what you are going to say, and say it.

because the major problem I see with people who aren't outgoing is that you can tell they are unsure of everything they do.
