Tiffany you shouldn’t feel ashamed off yourself I’m 5’11 and I weigh 145lbs and since you’re tall like me you aren’t fat it’s just because you’re tall. I saw how you said make up may make you prettier, but you shouldn’t hide your face behind make up. I also admit I get the same way when people touch me I’m just really jumpy. I just want you to think of this quote the next time you feel self conscious around people “You either take me as I am, or watch me as I go. You decide.” (btw im only 14 and i get the same way you do sometimes so you’re not alone always remember that)

One time i went to walmart wearing a Unicorn costume and an orange morphsuit and bought condoms, adult diapers, and ketchup. And when i walked out i made sure to tell every person i walked by ” I CAN COUNT TO POTATO “. Me and my friends like to have fun. Its a rush, you guys that are so shy, THERES NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. If you have people that are your friends, theyre called your friends for a reason, you shouldnt have to worry about them judging you or anything, you should have the time of your life with them!
Dont hide yourself, Show it to the world!

I’ve always been really shy, even around my family, so it was hard to find that niche where I could be myself. I joined some really aggressive contact sports (wrestling and judo) and it helped me to be more outgoing. I find its easier to be myself when I hang around people that are similar to me. I think sports helped me because it helped me to lose weight ( I was 5’2″ and 140lbs) and it helped me to meet some great people (like my bf lol).

oml I’m STILL that shy girl in the back. But I’ve got this weirdness about me where if someone touches me, I’ll go out in panic and jump away as if they were on fire. They’ll look at me like I’m a basketcase and I’ll just try to get out of there. My antisocial thing I’ve got going on has taken affect on my grades. I’ve stopped caring and my straight A record has dropped to a few A’s and some B’s and C’s. I’m not comfortable in my own skin because I’m fat. I’m 5’7 and about 150 lbs. I have never been pretty, maybe with a little bit of makeup, but still not really. I just wish I could have some help and stuff over this anti-touch thing. It’s like my body won’t let anyone touch it. I’m terrified and I’m always in panic attacks around people.
It’s a bummer deal ):

I’m shy in public, I want to get involved in more activities at school, but I’m scared of what other preppy girls will think of me, I wear the same clothes brand as them and everything. I just don’t know how to speak out.. And be more popular at school..

I can totally relate to you, ginger_snap117! I am so shy and quiet and im fed up of being bored on weekends. I really want to have people i can hang around with but i find it hard to make friends and get to know people because im so used to being quiet and shy like this. Your not alone! x

I used to be TERRIFIED of people. So scared that I wouldn’t talk to people I didn’t know. I had my moments of confidence, but that was it. I took leadership in school last year and it has really helped me. Not just to be more confident in myself, but to see that I don’t need to be scared of making mistakes. Everyone does it, and a lot of people aren’t super confident either. I haven’t completely come out of my shell yet(I am still scared to talk to cute guys I could potentially like unless they talk to me first) but I have made new friends myself.

I think first step to being outgoing is to feel comfortable with ur own self..when u feel at ease with ur self..u ‘ll feel at ease with others. Try talking or evn smiling to people..whether at school, streets, shops, find a way to start a conversation.
