Why cant I talk to people :(

im hardly ever around anyone and whenever I am, its like everyone else is a completely different species or something. I get so shy that I cant look anyone in the eye.
I cant talk to anyone directly, not even my friends, I only talk to them through AIM...

and myspace.
I have tried to talk to a therapist but I just cant.

im sort of the same.
well, I feel like I'm not as good as everyone else, really shy, not worthy of time. hmm.. I have no idea what you should do. its basically all down to YOU. you have to find yourself.
Alix.. Best of luck

Yes, you can! I have the same problem sometimes, believe it or not! But remember- if you make a scene by looking like you're uncomfortable, people WILL notice. Just act like you normally do, it's NO BIG DEAL! Who are you trying to impress anyway? =)

im not trying to impress anyone. its not that I think im better than everyone or anything.
and I dont know how I Normally act because im literally always by myself.
I try to meet people but they end up getting offended because I dont talk mutch.
and for some reason, I dont ever think anyone would be interested in what I will say but even when I am really trying to have a conversation it just ends up as the other person talking while I sit there and say nothing. I just cant help it. its like inside im telling myself to say something, anything.

not to brag but in really popular in school and I am so shy to I don't no how it happened but all I no is wear sumthin extravagent where all eyes shuld b on you and and let people tlk to you or face your fears don't luk directly in sum1s eyes luk away a lot

omg I coulnd do that!!!
I would probably have a heart attack lol!!!

Hey, I know a lot of people and my new job involves talking to people. I have alway been out going, but I find that the most interesting people are the shy people. If you want to try talking to someone my advice would be to smile, NOT to were you are uncomfortable, but just to let others know you are open. Then talk about something that interests you and you either know or think well interest that person. (lol wow complecated sentence there hope you understood). Let loose! just alittle!
My best friend is so shy that we had every class together for a year and I didn't even know she was there and one teacher forgot her on a field trip!
But she is one of the most interesting and fun people I know!

shaquasia12, you're pretty much telling us that if you wear certain clothes, you'll have instant friends. What happens when you wear something less extravagent?... exactly. They won't be true friends if they just like you because of your clothes.

You have to start somewhere. I think you just need to chill.There are people that feel the same way, whether you choose to believe it or not. But have you noticed that if they freak out, they get a TON of attention? BAD attention. You know, like "what the f*ck is wrong with them?"
I'm not saying you're the same way, because you're probably not. But you definetly don't want to be that person!

Like I said, just CHILL OUT! People are judgemental, it's just human nature. But they're not standing there making a list of everything bad about you. Everyone's not out to get you, I promise! LOL

I really don't have any friends, but it's a new year in a new school. Tonight, I'm going to sit down and make a list of every good quality that I have (everyone has some really good things about them) and then I'll make plans to let that good quality really shine! That may be a good suggestion for you. I mean, just hold the door open for someone- it really CAN make a difference!
