im rele shy to so i no how u feel. i can rele only b outgoing around my good friends. but its tough being shy, its hard to make new friends and its even harder to come up with something to say that wont make u feel like a complete idiot. so heres wat i do, in one of my classes my crush sits rite next to me and i want to get to no him better, but this could work for anyone, first i asked my friend to come over and we started talking, this worked cuz i could b more outgoing talking to her then i invited him into the convo since he was listening by asking him his opionion and all i do that more often and now we talk a LOT more. also u can find out ppls ims u know AIM aol instant messaging, im rele big on that. belive me its much easier to talk and get to no ppl who go to ur school over the comp. pm if u want any more help, cuz id luv to b ur friend!!!
