<p>I wanted to ask you old wise people for advice. So I'm socially shy.
What? Let me define. I'm not at all shy when it comes to talking with important adults, debating, making speeches, playing piano in front of a large crowd, discussing topics in class, so on. However, I'm quiet and reserved and shy when it comes to socializing (not working on a project or something) with kids. Well, I'm pretty comfortable around my close friends, but not so much with my classmates. I have a lot of close friends, but almost none of them are in my classes. So when the block classes on certain days have break, I talk to the teacher while everyone else mingles or something. -_-</p>
<p>I'm not hoping to change myself, just my outgoingness/shyness. Yes?</p>
<p>Being somewhat social is kind of important.... I understand how your feeling with being shy, I have a tendency to be shy (when I am not jumping off the walls...)</p>
<p>My best possible advice is.. perhaps.. join an after school club? I know it sounds really silly.. but by joining clubs you do meet more people who <em>should</em> be sharing the same common interest as you. I am definately not saying you have to make more friends, but definately try and do something you like to do and meet people who share the same values as you do in the process.</p>
<p>Def dont have to change your character with ^, but it helps to make more aqcuitatances (not even friends.)</p>
