chancer3570-I have been in your situation big time, and i am slowley coming out of it.
I use to be very queit,and use to find it hard to talk to people,but after reading a book called feel the fear and do it anyway, i feel much more confident in my ablity to talk to people and to say simple hi etc
I will tell you how this happend for me , and how it will happen for you.
First things first talk to people even if, you feel comfortable talking with them still talk to them.
When people are having conversations, join in and if you think no one will respond, say the particull persons name,who you want to talk to.
When you leave always say bye,and when people say bye or hi to you say it back to them so they hear it.
smile at people.
Right this is the situation i have been in and lots of other people will probaly be in, people you know are having a conversation.
After a long time you say something-and no responds.
he something that many people dont mention sometimes people willo ingore, and might be disrepectfull,but dont worry about it rember this happens to everbody even confident people,if you take it in you confidce will fall agin just ingore it, and concentrte on the things you good at.
If you ever see empty seats go and sit there and talk to people about anything.
If no one responds take it on the chin it doesnt matter,you will soon start to notice that people dont even respond, to lots of confident people, and what do confident people do they dont care and neither should you.
If you realise certian people dont like you just ingore that, and talk to the people that like you.
give me your email address, so i can add you to my msn and-i have lots of diffrent things i want to talk to you about.
