I'm 12. &&The only people I can talk to is, My best friends. None of my crushes/Random people. I hate it. I just want to be able to walk&&Talk to anyone. &&I seem like I can't. Its making my life really hard. I just want to break out of my shell. &&Just do whatever! My best friends aren't shy. &&I am. They tease me sometimes about it. They talk to everyone &&People I don't like/Don't like me. I can't go up to them &&Tell them to knock it off. It just makes everything really hard! What do I do?

Work on your confidence:) You can be proud of yourself no matter what. What you have to offer to the world and your friends is really important, express it! :D

And remember... if they don't like what you have to say, someone else will.
Just get your courage up and go for it.

You can do it! Don't be in the shadows.. say what you have to say;)

I'm just like you (but turned 13 two days ago). This is what you do, just try to speak out and nothing bad will happen. Just be yourself. Continue this and it will become a habit and you will be more social.

Don't be a deer and come out of the forest :) Just don't trust too soon and watch out for mean hunters that will skin you and make you a doormat. People shouldn't confuse your shyness with weakness so they can use you. Don't tremble, look independent and brave.

I was like that no joke about a week ago... What I did to change it was when I go in public, Just smile at people, not a big smile, just a warm friendly smile... Look in the mirror, close your eyes, and Imagine your in front of someone and start talking. Practice talking in front of a mirror even if you think its weird *IT HELPS*... Practice having self confidence... Take small steps, whenever you go somewhere to be friendly and introduce yourself *My first time doing that head on I opened my mouth and didn't say ANYTHING, so that's why I say take small steps*... Look approachable, whenever you see someone standing akwardly somewhere scowling, they don't look very friendly. So I would say just look happy, even if your uncomfortable... This is the stuff that helped me, because I was shy FOREVER, aand I just turned 13... So hopefully it'll help you too;)

Hi, I was exactly the same as you. But you should be proud of who you are, I know it sounds silly but its true. Some people are shy, would you rather be one of those really annoying loud boisterous people ?
I still have a similar problem, find it hard to make conversation with people so on, but if you work on it over time it does improve.
Talk to your best friends about it, if they are true friends they will help you gain confidence.
