I wanna show my funny side...but hooww??

[SmilingMartin]

Well im a junior in college now, and well i wanna do something about my shyness. I wanna be able to go to class and meet anyone and be able to show my funny side right off the bat without having to be shy! I'm a really funny guy and people love to be around me, but in order for me to be myself i have to feel comfortable around a person. The problem is...it takes ages for me to feel comfortable around new people. So it makes it seem like im the really shy guy with no personality, when infact thats not what it is.

 

Can anyone help me with this problem?

infact it is what it is, you are both. Your are shy like most of us when we are put in a position were you are not comfortable, and funny with ppl you know. This is natural and is one of those things that becomes easier with time, the better you get to know yourself the easier it is to talk to people like youve always known them. Just take a couple risks and see how it goes.

it takes me ages to feel comfortable enough to show all sides of myself too. i like it though. i like my shy side, it gives me a bit of mystery, then when more outgoing sides of myself come out it is a nice surprise (i think).

 

infact it is what it is, you are both

nice point.
