There is nothing wrong with being a little shy.

It's cute. It's a nice trait to have.

It leaves the person with a bit of mysterious about them.

I'd rather a shy person then somebody is totally extroverted.

I'm a shy person, I've been shy since primary school even though I had my group of friends and used to play soccer/football/basketball/rugby/tiggy with loads of people. it's probably since English wasn't my first language and yeah... Also I wasn't the brightest kid, due to my eyesight and I didn't get glasses until highschool, when my grades signifiganty improved.

When I went to highschool, I knew nobody since they went to different schools, missed orientation day. But I had a large group of friends in year 7, but I was still a shy person and stopped playing sports. Year 8 changed, I was smart now, less friends.

Okay now to the present, I am still a shy person, aged 14, I have a group of friends which consists of around 10-20 people. In class, I don't usually talk, well besides to friends, but questions etc even though I know them. I get along with people besides the clowns, but even some I get along with. I've never kissed or dated a girl. Also I go to a boy's school, but when I walk home, I sometimes pass this beautiful girl about the same age as myself, but I don't have the guts to talk to her. She goes to a different school, wears a skirt + those ankle length hoisery.

Anyways I was thinking of getting to know her, talk to her on msn where I'm more comfortable. Can anybody help me?

Sorry for the long post.

How about fashion?  Do you think it helps to dress well to gain more confidence?  

I'm thinking about buying these shirts from this site:
http://legacydesign.bigcartel.com/

do you think the girls will like it?


i think how you dress does help a bit, but sometimes it can just be a cover up.
like if you r shy and hid under really "Flamboyant" clothing.
i am pretty shy and i find that i can not go out weraing anything "plain"

I'd suggest when passing her say Hi to start with.  Then go to introduce yourself, and sure you could ask for her msn or phone #.  Msn is always an easy way to get to know someone, you could try that.

I used to be the shy-est girl alive. I couldn't even look a guy in the eyes; I practically spent my freshman year in secondary school looking down.

2 years later...plus in a whole lot of drama and change...and I've completely lost the shyness.

It takes experience,I guess. And good friends to have your back, and to help draw you out from being shy.

My situation is weird. I'm pretty outgoing with girls I guess, I mean I have a decent amount of girl friends and I do friendly stuff like hugs and crap like that all the time. But for me, something I cant seem to understand, is preppy chicks. But what makes it weirder is, I do have a few preppy girl friends, but around most of them, I just cant think of anything to say. I just get a vibe around these girls, like that they think they're all that, and wouldnt want to talk to me. I mean, im not ugly or anything, but I mean im just an average kid, and im not HOT or anything. But in my spanish class my teacher switches seats a lot and i sat next to what i thought was a really good looking girl...and she was preppy. Immediatley she started a convo with me, like just saying hello. and immediatley that gave me confidence and we talked all class long about a lot of shit.

i mean for me i have no problem talking to any chick except most of the preppy girls. But if they show at least some interest in me, it just lets me know that they wouldnt mind talking to me at the worst, so i start up a convo. i think thats my problem, i lack confidence around preppy chicks, its weird

Shyness shows that you have no confidence on yourself.There is only one way to get rid of it is self belief.Make yourself mentally strong, and think that you are right.This will help to get rid of shyness.

i like that.
