Where can I go to get over my shyness and stop it for good?

I am 15 and I am extremely shy. When I was younger it was fine and I wasn’t affected, but I am starting college this year and it’s affecting my school work and everything. I can’t even answer questions at school, even when I know the answer I just say I don’t know! It’s getting bad and I don’t know what to do, please help!

Answer #1

Ok when you go to college your ON YOUR OWN the only thing thats going to matter is your grades. usually the reason behind shyness is fear of what other people think of you. but in college no one cares everyones doing their own things, its not like high school where everyone is immature. Besides, if you are EXTREMELY shy infront of others, it will bring more attention to yourself. Just relax college is chill, and remember most of the time students aren’t paying attention to what the profesor is saying, unless it’s really interesting. Its not that big of a deal trust me.

Hope I helped :)

Get out of your comfort zone in everything that you do (it’s going to be tricky, but it should boost your confidence enough to start getting over your shyness). For example if you are scared of heights, go do rock climbing, or bungee or something really freaky for you. Or even small things like public speaking or dancing. And practice, practice, practice. The more you do things, the better you’ll get at them.

Answer #4

woah 15 in college lol thats really something but anyway if its presenting something or simply talking out loud look for a friend in the crowd and focus your attention on that person but dont make it look like your only looking at him or her make sure you scan the crowd and if its just answering the question take a second to breathe and then clearly state the answer!

Answer #5

practice. I was the same way. and when I did presentations I would focus on my work and just relax. you 15 startin college?!!!

Answer #6

Your 15 and going to college? O_o..Anyway… First you cant GO anywhere to “fix” your shyness as far as I know anyway.. Id suggest you really think about why you are so shy.. If you can figure that out you can figure out a way to fix it.. Like if your afraid of what people will think of you if you say something.. You then know you have to change that way of thinking to something more positive. like, “If I talk to people and they judge me who cares, its just one person some people will in fact like me. I dont need everyone to like..Plus I’m sure they are judging me even when im quiet..”

Answer #7

Oh thats a real shame seriously :O but I know how you feel cause I have the same problem :( hmm is there anyone in your class that you are imbarret of ? cecause this is why I am shy in my other classes when that person isnt there im fine :) so it mught be just people that you are around with or its just real YOU… hm if it is then im so sorry but I dont know how to answer your question hope there is someone that will help you :D Good luck xxx. and if I think of something ill let you know
