How can i get a more outgoing and talkative personality?

Hey! It’s ok! Even I used to be like you but then i started taking interest in the stuff that people usually talk about! I, in a way, started copying them… you might think this dumb but its really very effective! Just try it!!! I used to be very shy before but then as someone has said above, i started voicing my opinions on topics and then people suddenly started having a liking for me!!! DO try!! take care… hope this helps!
Bye

just listen and say stuff..
voice your opinion yo!
(:
peace.

OMG!
me tooo.
I just have nothing to say!
its not that im shy!
I wish I could just talk and talk but i just dont have anything to say!

do stuff u normaly wouldn’t do, stuff that is exciting and out of ur comfort zone. Do this activity with your friends that say ur to shy. I saw this on oprah just try it. Go rock climbing, or to sky high, mountain bikeing…bottom line take risks!!!!! this will make u more outgoing without u having to b fake, if ur shy it’s okay things will get better good luck!!

try meeting alot of new people and find something you both are interisted in and then during your conversation you’ll have alot to talk about cause you really like it and sooner or later you’ll realize that you changed alot and try to do more wild and daring things you’ll become more outgoing trust me.lol

read some books and then you can talk about the stuff you read.
go to some new places and then you can talk about the places you have gone.

try some new restaurants, some new foods, new museums, a new store….
those are all great conversation starters…
keep doing it and before you know it, it will become natural and effortless to you!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

First off, read. Nothing is worse than someone who knows nothing of what they are talking about. Then when you know about something, speak out.

It is called, "Act as if," "fake it til you make it," and "fulfillment of expectations" or visualization. See yourself as you want to be and you will become it.

you just have to be extra observant
and up on the latest gossip

like, you could even comment on the weather and start a conversation, i mean i live in sandiego and the weather is so freakin crazy right now, and then that can lead to a conversation about how cliche it is that your talking about the weather haha

stuff like that
and remember when your talking to people you shouldnt only open your mouth to contradict people, try and continue the conversation

This is one of most difficult thing every body face.
How ever we picture ourself as speaking freely. talkative, when actual time comes everybody , trust me everybody including president of US become nervous for while
Now u want to know how this can be oervomed
remember rule of SSSSS
S_ Smile big
S_ speak up — practice as much as u can
S_ see into the eyes of people ur talking
S_ swift in ur actions 25% more than others
S- set ur self at ease before speaking — so the Extra adrenaline wash out
And remember unless u make mistakes u can’t learn
Only practice will make u perfect.
START FROM NOW __ SAY HI TO ME __ SMILE PLEASE

You have the personality you have, it’s been pretty much the same since your first day of first grade.

You want to be more outgoing and talkative.

Your best bet is to listen to others, and say things to them that encourages them to say more about themselves. Everyone likes to talk about themselves, so help them do it!

And yes, you DO have things to talk about…yourself, your life, things in your life, your hopes and dreams, what you think about the weather… Please don’t short-change yourself.

And keep in mind that the "strong silent type" is thought by many people to be so smart that they don’t have to speak, and are using their quiet time to think deep thoughts!

You may want to look up a chapter of "Toastmasters International" in which the members give short speeches or talks to each other in order to get over fears about speaking with people. It works VERY well. http://www.toastmasters.org/

Toastmasters is inexpensive (New Member fee of $20, plus $54 per year) and informal…about 20 members for an hour or two each meeeting. I’ve known a number of people who have been in their programs and have become powerful and convincing public speakers!

Another group would be those offered by the Dale Carnegie people. (Carnegie was a very popular self-motivation author and speaker.): http://www.dalecarnegie.com/catalog/ If you want to take a class or seminar, it will cost you money, like hundreds of dollars. (I used to live next door to a man who ran these workshops in Connecticut, and we alked about it a bit while walking our dogs.) It is a very positive, helpful lprogram, but geared more toward business people where the business pays the $600 or more… — Dr. Bob
