How can I stop being so shy around boys?

tell him how you feel you will feel a lot better after

and if he disses you he’s a jerk and didn’t need him anyways

I am just like you.

I am just like you. I cannot really talk to boys for the life of me…unless I have a really good friend present. Even so, I get all nervous when I have to look any guy in the eyes, because I always am so insecure. This all didn’t really happen to me until after elementary. I just really hope I can overcome this!

Boys are just like us you should pretend like your not shy when your talking to them even if you are. It takes practice but first go to a boy that you dont really care if you make a fool of yourself and than build up to your crush.

Your are NOT the only one. I use to be kind of shy around certain boys at that age. We all have our own individual personalities. We are who we are. Some of us are quiet, some loud, and some just plain obnoxious! As we get older, we start coming out of our shell (if we are more on the shy side) You cant force yourself to be someone your not! Being shy around boys might mean you arent ready for a relationship just yet. I know I wasnt at 14. Its not just going to happen overnight. Just be yourself, and if the boys dont like you for who you are, thats their problem! Once you start to feel confident, and secure with yourself…good things will start to happen! Theres someone for each of us out there somewhere. I believe that!

I am the same I carnt help it, I really like this boy but when im near him I go all nervous, I went out with this boy before and I was too shy to even talk to him, I would see him and run. all my friends are so confident though, and then boys tease me saying you dont even talk to your boyfriend, whats the point, I get real upset :’( I always sed to myself right I will tell him how I feel, but I couldnt becos hed go tell all his friends and theyd all laugh at me, so I suppose he wasnt right for me anyway. but whoever I go out with next, before I do I am going to tell him how I feel, if he doesnt like it, then hes a waste of time :) am I right? .

I know EXCACTLY how you feel :( aand its relle hard I’m 13 , and when me and my Bff hangout with guys , she’s the only one talking .. I just dont know what to say , and if I wanna say something I’m scared I will like say it wrong .. :( ugh .. life’s hard (N) staay in touch - Katie

I am just the same , I have had boyfriends in the past and its been okay but its so embarresing being around boys I normally just stand there and smile :L , but all you got to do is relax breathe slow and be yourself I know thats hard but the more shy your are the more put off the boy is , I guess we are scared because we might look like a complete d* but I bet they are feeling the same , dont worry I wish I was more confident.

Dude I hate it, I’ve cried about it so much and I want to stop but I CANT! I even go as far as not even allowing myself to look at the guys I like and everyone says that that just puts them off and their going to think I don’t like them but I cann’t help it and I have no idea what to do about it.

do not worry, im the excact same :( i actually came on here to find an answer but it turns out theres other people out there feeling the same thing. i’ve tried to over come it….. one day i went to school thinking i wasnt shy anymore and going to be confident infront of everyone, it turned out bad because boys in my class know i dont talk to them and have stopped talking to me so it was a weird change for them to see me ‘trying’ to talk to them, so i stopped that and hopefully next year can start fresh. i look at other girls being so comftorble, boys even come up to me and my friends in class and say hello to each one of them except me, and thats hard, i now know i blew my chance and i dont wanna do it again. so as hard as it may be girls we gotta try, dont care what others think and be relaxed :) xx
