Shyness Support Group

That's the million dollar question! We all have varying degrees of shyness I think. The best thing to do is practice. If you feel people will think you are on drugs, who cares! You won't get better unless you try -- and listen. If you observe a person who handles himself/herself in conversation well, then listen and learn their techniques.

Good luck!

me too. around with people i really know and when im really hyper then im really goofy (and sometimes i sing..horribly) and dont have a care in the world. and my friends seem to love it. but when im with people i dont know or i hate then i dont say a word cuz they dont seem to get my goofiness. then i pretend somebody im not. well now i dont care what people think even if they imitate me cuz my saying is "life is too short to always live by the rules". might not be easy but be yurself (try not to annoy people though) and say "yup thats just me i get high everynite" or something else to go along with them.trust me people who dont know u will get used to yur goofiness and if not then that's their problem. oh and another trick is to talk all boring like and pretend to act like them if they offend yur awesome goofiness. then they will see how much of joykills they r and leave u alone. but try not to be too annyoing. hoped this worked. :D

To be comfortable being yourself around everyone, you have to not care what anyone thinks about you. To be uncomfortable means that there is a "bad" consequence of being yourself around them. So what are you worried about? Who cares if people think you are doing drugs? Why do you care? When you can answer that you will be a step closer to being yourself =)

Don't be afraid to be "censored" in any way. Just be yourself. If they don't like it, fuck 'em. Be yourself anyway. If they really object to your presence, find some new people to hang out with who don't.
