i think shyness is partly in your head, part- you actually dont know what to say lol. if someone asks you a question (lets say about yourself) you KNOW how to answer. but if someone asks you something or you wanna know what to say to meet new people. that is kinda hard and i struggle with that one too. the thing to do is realize that there isnt such thing as the perfect thing to say.. even if u answer with the first thing on your mind and its completely stupid- laugh, and u might make them laugh. by being this open u get kinda a honest, pure fun loving vibe. hoenstly shyness comes from worrying so much about what peopel think. if u cant budge (or im not helping)force yourself to say stupid stuff and then laugh about it /brush it off. if you see that its easy to get away with stuff like taht you wont wry so much. hope i helped?? personally though, i noticed there are some people i cant do that infront of and that may judge you moreso and stuff-- there not worth being friends with if they pick on everything you say. :).
