Try to ingnore that little bitch in your head that tells you to "not do this because that might happen." If you can get good at that, then you should be better. I tell my voice, "Fuck You" when I don't want to listen to it. I find myself saying it out loud sometimes. lol

www.selfgrowth.com/articles/nefsky2.htmlMan... you sounded like I was when I moved to a different school. I wasn't shy deep inside. I just didn't think the people in new school would be my friends. I stayed quiet and withdrawn. People just approach me...so i have to say I didn't take the initiative trying to fit into new school.

Mistakes and embarassment are just phases. Whatever is beyond that point is your decision to make.

My opinion is that if this keeps up. It'll grow on you... Like when I moved to a new school I acted all shy then everything around me suddenly got into gear that I was shy. People started to speak less to me in comparison to shy people who they didn't know. So make sure you put atleast some effort into making friends. It can be the most subtle things such as if someone says the slightest thing to you and you develop it into a conversation. Then just start talking to that person on a regular basis. You'll find out  . |

Yeah,
The same kinda thing happened to me in the eleventh grade. I thought that people would just talk to me once in a while and that I wouldn't have to put much effort forth.
That was my problem. Nobody talked to me. But they did say something short to me every once in a while.
So, my suggestion to you is to wait until the time is right and then say something to someone. Like VictorH said. The slightest thing can start a conversation. Try to keep an open mind.
