How can I behave in a more spontaneous way?

Stop worrying about what other people think. Act on things and impulses you feel when they pop up, not after you've thought all the fun out of them. There's a good start.

Try to think before you do anything. Another words, try to think before leaping. But don't feel too bad we all go through stages like that.

Following things to a T wont work. You have to let yourself some leeway for messing up, otherwise the first time you actually do mess up you wont want to continue what you are doing because it isn't perfect. \nDont shoot for perfection. Aim for progress. Do a little bit at a time. Instead of drinking 8-10 glasses of water, aim for drinking some during the day.\nThe way I increase my will power to do something: Visualizing the end result and not wanting to feel like crapola anymore!!

Act as they do,but carefully. Try to observe their actions and do what you can without embarrassing you or them. Try to have fun

Depends on the situation. Some things, I'm a little shy when I first do it, but then get comfortable with it (like meeting new people). Other things I just refuse to do (like dancing). But that's just me.

Tips For "Shaking Your Shyness"\n\n1.Conversation topics-never leave home without them.\n2.Let people know you're shy.\n3.Reward effort not outcome!\n4.Make things easy for the other person.\n5.Pick one social skill to practice at a time\n6.Take classes \n\nConversation Topics-never leave home without them.    Good conversationalists are rarely at a loss for words because: 1) they do so many things and go so many places that they have lots to talk about or 2) they prepare.  Good conversationalists never leave home without something to say to the people they think they'll be seeing that day.  If they're going to a party, they brush up on topics of interest to the people they know will be attending.  Before returning to work on a Monday, they think about the activities their colleagues had planned for the weekend.  They brush up on current events, the weather and anything else that might be the small-talk they need to get a conversation going or to keep it going.  Never leave home without at least a half-dozen things to talk about.\n\n   2.\n\n      Let people know you're shy.  This is a controversial subject.  Some people recommend that you never tell people you're shy, because people will use that information to label you.  Then again, if you avoid people, look down instead of making eye contact, stammer and stutter or turn three shades of purple when you're uncomfortable in social situations, people are going to draw conclusions of their own and odds are they'll be less favorably impressed with you than if you just tell it like it is---that you're nervous or feeling shy.\n\n      I think the problem arises because there are two ways to be shy---the obvious way and the not so obvious way.  The obvious way to be shy is to blush, tremble, twitch or otherwise physically manifest your shyness.  The not so obvious way is to avoid eye contact with people, not have much to say or decline offers from others you'd like to accept, but that are too far outside of your comfort zone for you to feel comfortable attending. \n\n   3.\n\n      Reward effort not outcome!   Memorize this one, because it's absolutely critical for conquering your shyness---or anything else you want to master, for that matter.  The only thing we can control in our life is our self---and even that can be a stretch sometimes.  We can't control other people and we certainly can't control how other people react to us and the things we do.  Nevertheless, most of us define our successes and failures by the way other people relate to us.  If we smile and they smile back, well good.  But if we smile and they don't smile too, we see it as a failure.  WRONG!!!   You won't get very far that way. \n\nIn fact, at least  in my book, what you did was a smashing success.  You tried.  You made an effort and that's all you can be responsible for.  You can't control how other people respond to you.  Sure, you can look back on your effort and speculate about things you can do to improve your performance next time, but at that very moment--at the precise time that you smiled, you made an effort and it's your effort that needs to be rewarded.\n\n   4.\n\n      Make things easy for the other person.  This is a tuff one, because as shy people, most of us are too busy worrying about ourselves---about how we look, what we say and whether other people will like us--- to stop and think about what we can do for other people.  But really, that's what being social is about---the other person, not us.  Dale Carnegie knew that.  He built a career on teaching people how to make other people feel good.  In his book How to Win Friends and Influence People, he lists principle after principle for putting people at ease and helping them feel special.   \n\n5.Pick one social skill to practice at a time.  You don't need to become a social butterfly overnight--and it's unlikely you could if you tried.  What you can do

Deliberately behaving in a way that seems typical of an effeminate

Laugh *maniacally* and *LOUDLY* - but in short, controlled bursts that startle the heck outta people and makes them jump - that is, those who would appreciate such outbursts of 'controlled insanity', and won't kick your head in for doing it - IT WORKS FOR ME!! HAHA!! :P lol

Be yourself.  It will come naturally.

just try and be open and friendly, don't try and sound all business like as that can immediately put people off.. but then again don't go to the other extreme and be too laid back!\n\nthink of the traits you see in a person that makes them approachable and mirror them =)

bro all the time, except I'm not spontaneous and never do. Chances are if you feel this way and if you are anything like me, you want to do this to run away from problems, if that's how you feel, the running away part is probablly not the best idea, the problems will tend to follow you where you go, your best bet is to stick it out and resolve the crap in your life, it may hurt and take time but you'll be happier for it. good luck and God bless

The best way would be to not put yourself in a position where it would be hard for you to say no.  Go to public places, have other people around you - that way you are not tempted to do anything.  Keep yourself busy by doing other things that interest you.

You could try to emulate Worf :)\n\nReally, though, true laughter is healthy and socially acceptable/attractive generally!  If you laugh nervously, you could try working on your confidence.  If you laugh inappropriately, you might try thinking about something else... or overanalyzing the situation, the intents of the speakers, or something distracting like that!\n\nJust a thought -  Good luck!

if you wanna stop being shy, socialize as much as you can! you'll observe others, imitate them at first, and in time get enough courage to do whatever you wanted to.

You should psych yourself by relaxing, giving yourself a "confidence boosting talk", you know, you can do this, you KNOW this, etc. and just walk into it with assurance. Good luck!
