I'm so shy, quiet and lonely and I hate it. I wish I could easily socialize with others like the other kids in my school but I can't. I'm 15, in high school, and suffer from my own social awkwardness everyday and I'm so sick of it!!!

All I do in class is sit all the way in the back and say nothing. In school, I am completely mute the whole day and I just CAN'T say ANYTHING!!! I feel like if I say something noone will like me.

How can I become more social like everyone else. I think I just hate myself and just want to be someone else. I literally have ZERO social skills. I have no idea how to talk to people in real life. I don't want how to talk and converse with other human beings. I just can't. This is just how I was made and I think I will forever be socially akward and doomed.

HOW CAN I BE MORE OUTGOING?????????????????????????????

Start muttering things. Slowly go into saying things outright. One mutter every once in a while.

Make facial expressions, speech is only part of communicating. Having a huge set of facial expressions makes you a more social person!

STOP MAKING MULTIPLE THREADS WITH THE SAME QUESTION!!

Go back to the one you originally made, people have left comments and advice to guide you out of your shy ways. If you're worried you're not getting enough posts, then you can bump the thread back to the top so that everyone else will see it.

Really, you've just got to force yourself to go out on a limb and be social.

Take baby steps to get there and don't expect it to be fixed overnight. But, I do think that if you actually try to improve your situation, you will find that things actually can get better.
