Some tips to get over being shy.. just make one goal a day to do something you haven't done before.

Like talking to some guy or girl you don't even know, it could be about the weather or the news anything really. Then before you know it you have a real winner, or not.

Talk about some basketball or whatever your into, baseball even maybe music or pop.

Just some ideas there, heck even videogames.. I don't know not one person that doesn't or has not played a video game at one time or another in there life.

Hope that helps.

Although I have a tough time meeting woman face to face, just never bother going to bars etc. I'm to scared or shy to walk up and start talking to them for some reason or another, for whatever the reason online much more easier, but at the same time it's still tough to find woman on or off line.

Then again I guess that's just me.

just think of everyone as naked !

but of course ...refer to my answer...you can't shake hands online

Thanks Johncena, I've gotten better as time has gone by. I used to not be able to talk to strangers, but now I can. Sometimes I just get nervous when meeting/talking to new people. I'm taking a public speech class very soon, and I just fear I will do bad because I hate people focusing attention on me all at once. Over the past year I've spoken with quite a few people about random chit-chat, but someone told me I should do it a little more. I just am really quiet around new people.

I was talking to someone else, but yes I like what you said. I have shaken more hands in the past year than ever before.

that may invoke great amounts of fear or not

could be dangerous

No problem.

I on the other hand am not one to just walk up to people and start talking to them etc, I find it hard at least for me, I can just think of how it must be for some one that might have to speak in front of a big number of people, like you will have to do.

ahhh but funny too !

Yea, certainly not looking forward to it, but it's a requirement to get my degree. I get nervous when my math teacher right now asks me to put problems on the board because everyone is probably looking at me. It's funny because all my friends think I never shut up, but my one friend found out friday how quiet I am when people I don't know are around.

...Etrain, you crack me up! and Andrew if you have to hide in a blue box in a place you consider "not real" life what do you hide behind in the place you deem "real life"?

I have a blue box because I'm not here for anything?? Why would I put up a picture when I sign on once a month? -_-

look dude/miss

you don't "get over it"


you proceed despite it.......


that's what every one else does.....with time it seems a little easier because you realize your head didn't fall off....

I f I'm just looking for answers I go to yahoo answers.

ok fair enough

How did you get over 1500 post signing in only once a month??? Speed posting HA!

Well when I first came I cared. Now I don't and yes check my old posts I'll post a lot one day then never come by. I really don't log on to the computer too much anymore to be honest the summer for me is extra busy.
