You don't. Until your ready when your shy you listen more you feel things deeper than most. This is the time to learn things

There are many people just like you I was one of them but what I learned in School that the same type of people would start to drink to loosen up a little bit. But you don't want to do that. That's the last thing in the world you want to do. Because then you do it so much your body craves it. And that's when all kinds of bad stuff start happening

Just be yourself you will open up.. Or chat with people online. I do that too

You have to take active steps and know that it’s something you will be working on for a while. I’d start with small goals like striking up conversations with strangers. Over time, the more people you talk to the easier it will be. And in that same breath you have to actively work on not worrying what others think. This, too will be a long haul game with incremental baby steps.
you got this! It took my to my late 20s to be more comfortable myself, but I didn’t start taking NY the steps until later in life either.

Something that worked for me was starting to go to the gym. It really built my self confidence and self esteem. It’s worth considering because it’s empowering and makes you feel good, both mentally and physically, and it becomes a lot of fun once you you start progressing.

Interact more with people

slatyb · Answer

You are still quite young. One way may be to find a group of people your age who share some of your interests. Then you will have something to talk about. I was rather shy until fairly late in life, then I just started asking people their names, and greeting them by name when I saw them. You might try this with your classmates. If you know their name, just say "Hi (name)". People love love love to hear their own name.

You need to interact more with other people, at a party, at work, school... anywhere
You should be the one in the front of any conversation
By time that fear barrier will fall down

Also do some breathing exercises where you breath from you belly not only from you chest, the amount of oxygen in your brain affects you reflections, google it if you want

Good luck 👍🏻

You can only break out of that shell by doing what's most difficult and that's doing the opposite of being shy, put yourself out there and step out of your comfort zone, conversate more and be more talkative, it's a good start

RHK36 · Answer

Increasing your confidence by improving physically or mentally. Also stepping outside of your comfort zone. Too many times people stay in their own bubble of comfort and you can't grow like that. Just gotta have more courage and to not shy away from failure. You only learn from your losses.

Just start to have small conversations here and there with new people. Don’t overwhelm yourself, just small talk and push your comfort level slowly
