I'm 16 years old. Shy not extremely shy anymore I don't think. But sometimes it feels like it. I'm a Junior this year. Thank GOD! The Problem is. I think that I will not be able to break out of my shell at all. Even when I'm older. It takes time for me to know people, and to actually open up to them. To even say the word "Hi", instead of just giving them a short fast quick wave, and a quick smile. Today in my English Honors class. I met this other girl who was also shy. We were in groups of three. But the third girl I already knew her. She isn't that shy she just doesn't like people who she doesn't know. She has no problem showing her stuff. If you know what I mean. With me being in a group of shy people made me realize that I may never get out of my shell like I plan to in college. The main reason why I can't get out of my shell in high school is that my mom is kind of overprotective but not really. It's her fiancee that made everything worse for me for the past 9 years that I've known him. He doesn't like me doing anything that normal teenagers do. So I have to go by his rules that he puts through my mom. I don't think that's right.
In college I planned too: Get a new look, Buy new clothes that's fitting, and somewhat revealing(Not too much) were make-up(Not a lot), and date in college. Because I don't date in high school at all. It's getting really boring for me. Because it's my third year in high school, and already I'm feeling really lazy not wanting to do my homework or to come to school everyday. I actually looked forward to my Junior year last year. Now I'm ready for my Senior year to come so I can be done with high school. I don't know how I'm supposed to function with my social life in college. With the fact that I'm terribly shy. I need help. No I'm not allowed to wear make-up, have a facebook, twitter, or a instagram. Which I think isn't fear. I can't wear clothes that apparently shows my figure. What Do I do?
I feel like I'm going to rebel a lot in college. I don't wanna mess up my life when I'm on my own.
I feel too protected, and trapped. Please help me.
Do you have any stories or tips of shy girls getting wild and loose? In my freshman year everybody though that I was gonna be wild in college or when I'm on my own. I go to a new school now though. They can already see that.

Well I've been pretty shy throughout high school as well (just graduated) and it's hard for me to talk to people too. When someone says "Hi" though all you have to do is say "Hi" back. It may be hard at first but I promise it will get easier. They may strike up conversations with you, but don't worry most people are good at keeping them up because most people enjoy talking. So then you will get better at having regular conversations with people too. It's a good idea to get a new look in college if you want, sometimes it can kind of help you mentally re-invent yourself. Just remember, don't completely try to be someone you really are NOT. As for breaking out of your shell in college, join clubs and talk to people in your classes. Just be open to meeting people and making new friends. EVERYONE is new in college, so they will all feel the same as you! Everyone is making new friends so it's the perfect opportunity to get more socially involved. As for now, like I said just try to interact a little more and the more you do it, the more naturally it will come. Good luck and I hope I helped!!
Also, if you aren't completely opposed...taking a theatre class my Junior year really opened me up. EVERYONE looks stupid at some point in that class and they all understand how hard you are trying and how hard it can be to get up on stage. They won't judge you but will allow you to open up and be more outgoing without feeling judged. Just a thought for you...if you are completely terrified to pieces at the idea and would never want to try it EVER, you don't have to! It can help, but I know firsthand how hard it can be to do things that terrify you socially. Just join some clubs, talk to people and branch out. Don't worry, I've been breaking out of my shell over the past couple years and you will too!
