I have a question. (Obviously lol) What can you do when you're feeling blah that can make you feel nice and peppy real quick? I'll try and make this short and sweet. (If you don't have a lot of time, I tried to sum it all up in the last paragraph.)
Okay, first off, I am a fairly shy person. I will talk to someone once they start talking to me, but it can take a lot of guts for me to say something first. So I do normally have a bunch of pretty good friends who I talk to in the morning so I am usually happy if not being one of the louder ones in the group. But then during the day there are classes in which I don't know people, so I just don't talk...and I think this is where my problem is.
I am usually a smiley person. I am always one to laugh at even the stupidest most corny joke, you know? I love laughing and smiling and everything, but whe I'm not smiling or talking to someone, I've had people come up to me and be like "Are you okay? What's the matter?" And I'm perfectly fine! This of course is a problem because when I'm not smiling I guess I look sad or angry or something and this makes people not want to come up and talk to me. Then this makes me kind of depressed. Then I really do feel sad and then they'd actually have a reason for coming up to me! Lol!
Okay to tie this all together: I want to seem more approachable, you know? And I know that means I need to smile more. But then, isn't that kind of being fake? Smiling all the time? I LOVE talking to people! I really do! Once I get started talking to someone, I usually am fine...I justy have a TON of trouble starting up the first conversation. And I HATE it when people just talk to me because they feel bad for me because I'm not talking to people. I can tell people! Lol! But I know that they're trying to make me feel better and all, and it does to a certain extent, but then deep down I always feel so...unworthy or something.
Any advice on how to not feel like this? Or how to not be fake trying to smile all the time, but still seem approachable? And how to make new friends? (I know that sounds corny, but I mean, making new friends as in, I've seen them around before, and I know who they are and they probably know me, but I've just never talked to them -- what can I say?)
