I was shy in high school. Before I came to college, I swore things would be different. Here are things I did:
- Smile! – everyone who is decent loves a smiler. Smile at people in the hall, say “hey” to anyone you walk past on the sidewalk. This helps to get you used to initiating.
- Imagine that the other person is the shy one, and you aren’t. Talk to them to get to know them.
-. Looking for something to talk about? Observe them. You’ve been an observer a long time, you’re a pro. Turn those observations into a topic!
