How can I stop being super awkward/shy/nervous around people?

Just calm down and don’t be nervous be yourself

There is nothing to be ashamed off have confidence in yourself you are an amazing person and no one is better than the other humans are equal

Be open, be how you would be if you were by yourself. Im a very open person, and I talk to almost everyone I see. If i think of something to say, I say it. Usually I try something that would make them laugh, or ill ask questions. Eye contact is hard to accomplish, so look at their nose or smile at them or even look between their eyes. But dont make it look creepy, then they’ll feel awkward. The more and more you talk to people, the easier it gets. Also ask them how their day is, or say “Good Morning/Goodnight”. It can make anyones day :)

Try not to care what other people think. It’s as simple as that. You act outgoing around your friends because you know they will accept you, so you don’t care how you act. If you learn to not care what other peoples opinions are of you, you’ll really come out of your shell. Believe me, I was the same way a little while ago, then I realize, who cares if someone doesn’t like me, or thinks I’m stupid or whatever, chances are they won’t be a big part of my life. Basically, be yourself and don’t worry about what other people think, if they like you for you, that’s great, if they don’t, f*ck em :)

??????????????????????

just act weird thats what i do. some creep out. i dont care what they think cuz im not gonna meet them again.

You just work on being yourself(= Sometimes, you’ll just have to leave your comfort zone to feel more comfortable around others and yourself..I used to be all those things really really bad..and I got so sick of it that I forced myself to join things..I have to say..I hated myself for doing it..but after a while, you really start to realize how much it all helps you…Only you can change how you feel around others..You just have to realize how great you are!
