I'm a very shy guy and it sucks. I've been told multiple times I could have a gf by now and wth is wrong with me. But I'm just to shy to even see myself with someone...so..how do some of you do it?

Sounds pretty rough. Suicide is an option

Well get to know people better. You'll start to feel more comfortable around them and open up more.

Force a smile on my face and say hi to a random person. Then watch the random person make a "what the hell" face at me and walk away.

ShadowJac : I know how you feel... I just talk and hang out with my best friends since they know how to make me outgoing and try to be like that with whatever girl that I talk to. So overall, I have been shy and I am still trying to get over that. I try to be more talkative even when I dont want to talk so much. I also try to be silly and funny just to get a laugh now and then. Lol, same.

Well...It's a nice start to befriend people you can talk to for long periods of time before getting bored. At least that's how it worked out for me.

xLightDeityx : I sometimes try to be talkative with people I don't know, but I feel like a fool. don't worry dude, i have the same problem. Well what i do is volunteer a lot, for example community service orrrr some school question, etc. Then work gradually from there. It's working pretty well for me. Btw, dont worry about what others think. hope this helps ._.

xbabyy : When I volunteered at a kid's daycamp, I got more loud and stuff. (Although I'm not shy at home, but when it's the public; I do get a bit shy) Volunteer helps. :'D Funny cause you look like a molester lol

You know how you really want to do something but are too shy? Well just ignore the shyness and do it even if you think you'll embarass your self. Take a chance
