How can I be more outgoing?

How can I be more outgoing? And talking to yourself in the mirror doesn’t do anything by the way. And I also hate how my face goes red at everything!

Confidence is the greatest thing for being an extrovert… But it’s something thats built into your personality, so all you can really do is change the traits that make you an introvert, but it may not change all that much…

Like I’m a super extrovert, but I’m completey random and always like bouncing hyper, but mainly I’m really confident so I’ll go talk to anybody about anything I don’t care, just know who you are, and don’t take anything from anyone.

It’s guaranteed that not everyone is gonna like you, and if they don’t who cares? Just gotta shrug things off…

All I can really say though is that it’s not hard at all to start a conversation with someone, even if you don’t know them… It can be from anything, a casual observation or the first thing that popped into your head. And try to avoid akward silences those are convo killers…

Hope this helps… =]

Being shy is being self-conscious. You’re thinking about yourself and how you look to others. If you watch an outgoing person, you can see what they do, or if you think about someone you’ve met - who you’ve really liked - what is it they’ve done? They have made you feel welcome. They have been interested in you. Your thoughts, your background, whatever. They have made you feel important.

So to step out of your shyness, thats what you’ve got to do - in a social situation, look for people who seem to be lacking confidence and walk over to them and try and make them feel good. The more you do this, the more confidence you’ll gain.

The most important thing is to not stress yourself out about being a quiet person. I have been a shy quiet person my whole life and when I was a teenager I would get super anxious around people when I was forcing myself to be social. Then I would go in the other room and have a good cry. THAT is until I realized that I AM a quiet person. And there is nothing wrong with being quiet. Now I’m more relaxed and those extroverts come seek ME out and ask ME questions.

Answer #4

Well part of it is your personality… some people are born more extroverted than others… (I’m not saying you cant increase your sociability, just dont be too hard on yourself, you may never be as outgoing as some people). But, just talk to people… make conversation… it really isnt that hard. You just have to believe that you are an interesting person and people will be interested in what you have to say. Not everyone on earth will like you, but so what… You just keep talking to those who do…

Answer #5
