Drop your fears, boy. You'll realize how interesting you are. Then people around you will see that.\n\nThe only thing you have to understand first is: drop your fears. Even when an outcome seems bad, see the good aspect of it. You can do it.

Join a club or a class that teaches what you're interested in. There will be other people there that have the same hobbies as you, and they will be easier to become friends with. \nOr - get a dog. You can meet so many people in dog parks, and you just start talking to them automatically and immedietly become friends.

Be daring and brave. Make some eye contact and then go up and say hello. If he/she doesn't know you, introduce yourself. Just don't be shy or you'll never get anywhere!

The best way for you to make friends is to let yourself go. What I mean by that is, you should be social. Dont be afraid to be yourself. 99.5% of the people like others for who they really are. And you may be surprised by how much you may have in common.

Introduce yourself, and start asking them the things that they like doing, and telling them the things that you like.\nYou will either gain a friend, or you won't have anything in common.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.....or lost.

Maybe try being humble.  You're looking for a group of friends, as I understand it.

Try to strike up conversation at work with people, even if you don't think you have anything in common with them.  You never know what anyone is really like, and people who don't know you will take shyness as being aloof.  Be sure to make plenty of phone calls and write letters to those who you do know, no matter how far.  Explore and enjoy your new surroundings, and sooner than you think, they won't be so foreign and looming.

You need to start coming out of your shell. You think you are shy, but I guarantee you that most everyone else is too. Just be your happy outgoing self and the right guy will notice you. BUT, don't forget, he is probably to shy to approach you too. So you may have to be the one to break the ice. Good luck. GaryT

just be yourself, if they don't accept you for who you are then it's their problem. however, you should try to be nice and friendly, if your shy then for once, you'll have to speak up and be the first one to say "hi"

If you can, have a party. Invite the people you know and like to bring friends. If you have people over on a fairly regular basis they will start to bring more friends over. Plus you can use your duties as host to get over some of your shyness...asking if people want another drink, etc. is a good excuse to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know very well. \n\nIf you don't have enough space to have people over you might consider picking a bar or restaurant that you like and try going once a week for a while. Eventually you will become recognizable and you might be able to strike it up with some of the bartenders/waiters or other regulars. If it's a bar the alcohol is a great social lubricant and helps everyone overcome shyness. Just don't over do it. If your into sports that is always a topic strangers can talk about.

You get over your shyness by, if necessary, making yourself talk to someone. I know it's not easy. I'm shy too. But I MAKE myself talk to people and when conversation is started, then the next logical step is dating. Smile, and be friendly to men where you go....grocery store, gas station, post office, etc. There are a lot of good, decent guys out there, and one of them is waiting for a nice Lady like you. Good Luck!

I used to be shy, so I know where you are coming from.  You have to take the lead on this one.  You have to ask him out and everything because he won't.  A shy boy will not know what to say to you because he can't think of anything.  Just make him comfortable with you.

The only thing wrong is that you are very shy and have not found a way to work around the problem. My advice would be to use your hobbies and interests to help you find someone that has things in common with you. Join groups or teams or go places that have to do with your hobbies and interests. The people that you will find in the groups or on the teams will have the same thing in common with you and it will give you something to talk about. Once you have broken the ice it will be easier to continue the conversation. I strongly believe that you don't "Find" love, that it will find you, but it never hurts to put yourself in a place where it will have a chance to find you. By joining groups or going to places that you have an interest in, you are automatically placing yourself with people that have the same interests as yourself and giving you something to open a conversation with that you will feel confident talking about, which will help with your shyness. Good Luck!! =-)

Sounds to me like you need friends who will encourage you and be confidence builders. You're going it alone and your shyness is holding you back and this is where good friends will step in and give you support. Reach out, make friends who will help you feel more secure about yourself. Some of us here list our emails and message links to be of help. Take advantage of this and the experience others may have that can offer you support and advice as friends should.\n\nBest Wishes!!
