Hi, I am a shy person and sometimes find it hard to meet new

Hi, I am a shy person and sometimes find it hard to meet new people and open up to them. I'd like to make closer friends, but find it hard to do. Any suggestions on the best way to get to know people

I've found that it's best to just be yourself, I know its cliche but it's true. And I am always here if you want a friend

HI Della anne. It is important to know that people can get hurt just as much as you can get hurt. Shyness is a slight form of conceit believe it or not. But mainly it has to do with confidence in yourself, or lack thereof. like AllisonH0099 says be yourself. it is the ultimate cliche but it truly TRULY works. I am a really nice person and I am not shy at all. I am the total opposite of shy, but I can be quiet and untalkative in social settings depending on who is there. try to love yourself and show a positive attitude towards others. That works for me. understand no one can hurt you.. unless you give them permission to. NO ONE!

@Della Anne, I am the same way if you ever want to chat here or in a pm I can try and help you with the shyness

I agree @spriterook7 I'm sorry if I came across as labeling anyone. I've been lableled my entire life. Shy, disabled, lazy etc
