I always put on a apperence of confident when i'm around other people but when i have to talk to people i find it really hard! I generally have to spend like half a hour trying to decide what i'm going to say and how i'm going to say it, then i just mess up and say something stupid and i'm back to where i have to try and think of what i'm going to say next. i can talk to my friends easily enough most of the time-im usally really outgoing actually but the people that i only know a little, i find it really hard to say anything too.

I think the reason why i put on a apperence of someone that is really confedent, is becouse what i'm really shy about is people seeing who i am on the inside rather than judging who i m on the outside.

I'm pretty shy when I'm around new people, but once people get to know I get pretty crazy :P

I'm one of those people who seem to have two personalities. When first meeting someone IRL I hardly talk but then i get comfortable Im extremely mental! I really want to make friends but can hardly ever manage it.

@kira: First of all, you have to be just plain awesome because you have an epic name. And also, I've found that asking questions about people works wonders. People love to talk about themselves, so if you express genuine interest, it's so much easier to see conversation flow from there.

@kira a month ago, i walked up to this girl, and was at first completely nervous about it. said hi and tried to strike a conversation with her, which doesn't seem to have her going along. not trying to hit on her or anything, i was simply going for a friendly conversation with a complete stranger. as a social experiment i suppose. i have always been a shy one myself, so this is all quite new to me. introducing oneself to someone else at least in my opinion is usually a hit and miss case; that is, should both of you fail to catch on with each other the first time, if you don't find yourself comfortable talking to him or her, better brace yourself for those awkward moments you see him or her in public. at least, that's my case.

@kira: That's the same problem I have every time I'm doing something new or I'm at a new place... I usually just wait until someone starts talking to me and I try to respond as good (that means as loud and clear) as I can, hoping the person will stick with me. Usually there's always someone like that, or there's just someone pitying me, when I'm standing far away from everyone else, just staring at random things... It worked out perfectly till now, and I'm almost able to be open when someone starts to talk to me ;)

I don't know where to put this but Hi, I recently moved and this is the first time I moved in my life and I start school tomorrow. I don't know how to make friends because I'm not good at going up to people and just saying "Hi. I'm Kira." The last time I made a new friend was when I joined a bowling league with my friend Jess and I became friends with some guys on the other team. That was two years ago. So I guess I'm asking, how do people make friends or just introduce themselves?

@Kira I know exactly how you feel. I have the same problem :/

@Emilie I know what you mean. I would join a club or something but my school doesn't really have any...

I've been like this most of my life, thanks to the same person who's the reason I joined Nerdfighters Against Abuse. Making matters worse, because I've been like this for so long, I'm afraid people will think I've gone nuts if I actually try to make friends, making me less likely to do so because I'm so self-conscious of what others think.
