Ask Your Question today
and im really shy. and on top of that im at a new school. And I dont know what people think of me, so that makes me really self concious. It's really hard for me to introduce myself because i never know what to say because im naturally more of a listener and i dont know how to make conversatiion.. :(
Just start off by saying "I'm not a serial killer."
If they stay and talk more, they're good friend material.
If they leave, they've probably gone to the Police.
Have a handful of questions ready to ask. Ask things that require more than a yes no response like, What do you do on the weekends? Have you seen any good movies? What did you think about that last test? Etc. Maybe if you join a club after school also you will find people to talk to with common interests. Good luck!
I'm a listener too but then people accuse me of "oh my gosh you never talk!" its so annoying and it makes me really self concious
mastersash is right, people love it. Also people dislike people when they talk too much, but don't actively dislike people who talk too little.
just ask questions about that person.. people LOVE to talk about themselves. Keeps the focus off you, and they'll keep talking. If they ask you something in return, then you'll obviously have something to talk about :) ;)
I'm a listener and I have been for years. When I started college I realised I had to start socialising on my own which completly scared me. So I set my paranoid thoughts aside and tried talking to people. It will come naturally.
My boyfriend id the same, lisyens but doesnt talk. The more you get to know someone though, the more stuff you will naturally have to talk about. Dont worry...
