I am almost 16 and I am really shy. I was born in Europe and I live in USA for about 3 years. I have terrible accent and I am affraid to speak to others. Its extremely hard for me to make new friends or just to talk in company of my friends and some other people I dont know. I dont have too much good friends and I dont keep in touch with them outside the school, most of time I am by myself and I am depressed. When any girl starts talking to me I am blushing for no reason. I never been like that before. Before I came to US I used to have a lot of friends and I didnt feel so uncomfortable. Few weeks ago I met a girl of my nationality I like her and I think she likes me too but I am afraid to talk to her about anything because I never had a girlfriend in my life . If you have any advices or tips I ll listen to them carefully. Thanks.

Hi, vRevolver, I can understand what you are talking about - most of us here experience(d) the same. Do not worry about your accent - people don't mind, I can assure you (most of them think it cool). Yet, if you want to get rid of it, the only way how to do that is talking with people.
I might be wrong, but I do not think moving to the USA caused your current problems. It could have added to them, perhaps, SAD just sometimes appears out of a sudden during teens ... well, you seem to have had the bad luck of it.
The girl ... yes, this is a tough one - it's so easy to tell you to go and talk with her, but I am aware doing so is not easy at all. You are 15 and it's normal you never had a girlfriend in your lifetime. Unless you want to say the same at 25, 35, 50 ... you'll take the chance now. You see yourself that she likes you - what exactly have you to lose???

im not sure if i have great advice about the shyness thing, because I am shy too, but dont worry about the accent thing. Most girls think accents are sexy. My ex boyfriend had an accent and i loved it.

Crazy as it may be, we do seem to prefer people who seem somewhat exotic, so an accent is a "babe magnet."
