your not weird your AWESOME! . and guy...be your self is the key
Strike a conversation about something you do passionately. People with similar interests will like you, and you should be friends.
And then you'll talk with those friends about a lot more things. And it goes on. Talking with friends helps, you get experience. Then it won't matter who it is.
Avoid awkward silences, try not to make conversation forced. (Which means don't be a try-hard. Just uh... relax.)
There are no tips, there are no tricks and there is no "method" to overcoming shyness. All you can do is stick with the people you know and talk to people you don't know. Talking to someone doesn't make you social though. Most of the time, to meet more people, some random event has to happen involving the two of you where you end up wanting to hang out more. You can't just become not shy. All you can do is be yourself and hang out with the people who you want to hang out with.
the more u force urself to talk the easier it is to talk anywhere
just like in maplestory
you start off as a low level killing snails, but the more snails you kill, the easier it gets and then you advance to a higher set of monsters, then those get easier over time and then you move on to a new group of monsters
same with talking, start just saying hi to people that you make eye contact with, totally random strangers, then the first couple times it might be nerv racking, but after the like 10th time its as easy as breathing, then ask people random questions like, "aye what time is it" or "aye where'd you get that watch" then go to stores and ask the clercs for help, in class make jokes, tell stories and stuff like that
odds are you're guna read this, then read the next post and forget about this one, but if you actually remember this one, and do what im telling you, i guarantee it'll work for you, its not something that works over night, but if you do it everyday, then it becomes so easy that you WANA talk to random people because its just your new nature
When I first meet people I'm very shy, which is why I'll have trouble when school starts. But once people get to know me very well I open up. So I overcome by meeting them.
Seriously. Think of all the things that are great about you, and if you can't, get someone to compliment you. You'll build self confidence (which lack thereof is normally the root of shyness) And if things go well, you'll no longer be shy, because you have no reason to.
well if i see a cute guy, that won't talk to me, but keeps looking at me i say to myself "screw it" and walk up to him without even thinking, and by the time i wanna go back, it's too late and yeah

I have random sporadic bursts of confidence. They usually aid me throughout my day, although I'll admit I spend most of my time alone.
let one rip in front of a huge crowd...

@gandalf0213: what the heck man
that's such a creepy first conversation
@AsianNinja:
it's a shame my close circle of friends have to force me to say things or to just speak in general.
-realized that being too shy can be really annoying and rude at times
-the awkwardness spreads to everyone during a conversation
-it gets you nowhere
I don't unless I'm with my friends I talk really loud
went to summer camps
joined every sports team possible
got a job in customer service very young
I was shy as a child, but now I know it was just an excuse for my own inadequacies.
@gandalf0213: did you even introduce yourself first?

That Maplestory analogy above me made me laugh.

anyways, the choice is yours, red or blue.

Like that
Become egotistical.
Seriously.

You'll build self confidence (which lack thereof is normally the root of shyness)
And if things go well, you'll no longer be shy, because you have no reason to.
i talk in a brithish accent
[quote=looklooklook]Imagine guys wearing only their boxers, gals wearing bras and underwears .[/quote]
i like this idea. Femmy part ofc
I have trouble in large crowds when I don't know anyone (same for parties).
Wish I had a little more confidence (or at the very least less introversion).
i'm shy and antisocial. i'm that quiet person in class everyone judges because s/he(in my case, he) doesn't talk, at all.
Imagine guys wearing only their boxers, gals wearing bras and underwears .
don't fake anything. being genuine is the best plan.
I'm shy, when it comes to boys or meeting new people. But this year, I'm gonna try to talk more. D<
