How do I become more outgoing?

hey there! great question. Listen, the greatest tip I can tell you is this: Most people who are shy or "mutes" feel that they do not want to talk or say stuff in front of strangers because they feel they might be embarassed if they say something silly, or, they may want to give off a first impression that they are quiet or maybe responsible, mature people (who can listen). This is fine, however, I will guarantee you that if you meet a new person for the first time, although they may remember you as a nice, quiet person, they will be more happy meeting the Happy, friendly, loud/confident (in a good way) person. People feel more comfortable around confident people who can speak for themselves. Example: The other day I was in the car with one of my mates. He didn’t say a word the whole car trip unless we asked him a question and he was very polite, and my parents thought he was a nice boy.
On the other hand, the other night we dropped my mate home, who is very talkative and was asking my parents questions and making jokes and at the end of the day although people dont have a problem with shy people, they would much rather hang out with people who talk up.

So please, keep in mind that in the long-run it is better to be talkative from the start, because if you are quiet at first and then start to talk alot to someone, they would prefer you the way they knew you when they first met you.

Hope this long essay helps!!!

Ok i have two things for you:
1. Visualize yourself in a group of people with you joining in the conversations. Visualize the actual conversation to the end with every comment and laugh and everything. That will make it easier for you to actually do this for real.
2. Try joining in one bit at a time. You’ll discover how easy it is eventually.

Just try to start a conversation with them. Ask about them and their interests. It’s better if you find something you both have in common, because you can relate to it, so you can talk about it more.

1. Stop caring about what other people might say.
2. Star doing everything you do not do, but later regret you did not do it.
3. Live every day like it was your last!!!
