Hi, I find that the best way to begin a friendship is to listen to the other person. Look in their eyes and pay close attention. Ask the person questions about himself or herself. Lead them into talking about themselves, more than about yourself. Think of them, maybe they are shy also. Try to help them start to talk and before you know it, you have a friend. Also remember that to be a friend, you must be a friend. Be thoughtful, kind, helpful if you can. Try to find out if they need your encouragement in any matter.

Just be yourself. Don't be ashamed from anything. Be confident - it's really important for a proper conversation. No one says you have to be perfectly looking or anything. People like honest people, nobody wants to hear lies about your life. If they are interested in you, tell them about your life and experience. Remember! Don't tell them everything in one day. Be a little misterious, so that you can awaken the curious ones. Never underestimate others. Know that they can hide things from you to. Be nice to everyone, akt friendly even if you don't like someone that much. Talk about funny experiences. Don't talk about personal life. Be helpful. If someone asks for a favour, do it if you can. Try smiling almost all the time. In this way people will have good impresion from you. If you're too shy, it's ok! People don't bite! Go on and mess with the crowd. No one will notice you if you stay in the corner. At parties - dance with the ones you admire, have fun and in the end exchange telephone numbers, e-mails and so on. Don't call them the same evening or in the morning. Wait for a while so that they don't think you have no personal life and friends. Call them the next day, but donm't hury to ask them out, wait them to do it. Just ask how are they after the party. Never talk about someone behind his/her back. It's more than unethical. If you have negative feeling about someone, you can show him that you're not his/her fan, but without offences. Ok, this is what came to my mind. I hope I've helped.

Just try to remember lots of people feel shy in company but are maybe better at hiding it. Just be friendly, smile and say hello, you don't have to be a big talker to make friends. Remember as well most people enjoy talking about themselves so just say enough to get the other person talking, they would rather hear their own ideas and words than anyone elses and once you have mastered getting people to talk you will be fine. You don't have to be thinking of things to say,let them do that, just encourage it with comments like, yes, really, what happened next. etc etc.

You take a chance and post. No one can see you here or hear your thoughts. Reply to many topics and they will see you for the person your are. I am not as outgoing as I wish I was. I have a lot of trouble too. Joining was a big leap for me. I gave you a + for starting this and I will add you as a friend too if you want.
