Why Am I So Shy?

I used to be very shy as well, and it goes away as you build your self confidence. Chances are people really dont find you boring at all. Many people probly dont even care to notice whether or not you are shy, they probly do notice that you stick to yourself and probly assume that you like it that way. I know its hard to go out and make friends, but try talking to people. if talking is really hard, just try listening in to their jokes and laughing when you think its funny. Smile. try to be approachable.

I would even go as far as asking your boyfriend to help you gain more confidence. If you are in a group of people and he is talking, ask him to make a joke that only you can reply to. for instance my boyfriend likes to joke to his friends that I wear the pants in the family when he is in front of his friends, and he usually says something ridiculous like “dont beat me”. this gives me a chance to either play on the joke…like dont worry I wont beat you tonight you have been a good boy, or deny it say of course I dont beat him. but the point is that I am talking in front of others in a way in which I know they are not thinking negatively about me.

Having help like this has really boosted my self esteem in a short amount of time. If your not the funny type of person, then laughing and smiling is usually enough to show happiness when around others.
