  2. Watch who will talk to you. When one of your classmates asks you a question,e.g."What page do we do?" Answer in a nice way. If you're still too shy to talk to people who ask you questions try practicing talking to a mirror and take deep breaths.
  3. Look for someone who would want to be friends with you. This can be a sign. If someone makes you laugh with their jokes, or gets along with you very well, then just try to talk to them yourself! Ask about their interests and other stuff like that! Shy people don't get shy when you start talking to them.

  • Just be yourself, have fun, and ignore mean people. This will get more people to like you.
  • Don't be discouraged if you have trouble making friends. Often the nicest people will be the ones to make the first move towards friendship, and when they do, you know you can trust them.

  • Always be honest.
  • Smile! But you don't have to show teeth.
