Apparantely it is so obvious that I have problems with my confidence. Is there any way of improving it? Also, is there anything I can do so that I don't go shy when meeting people for the first time? I always do this and get moaned at for being too quiet...
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

I am exactly the same. Infact one guy I was friends with on my year abroad thought I had some sort of problem when he first met me. I think eye contact is really important so if you're not saying much you don't look a bit weird. :impissed:
I have no idea. It only seems to be with new people. That being said, a friend of mine who I've known for 4 years has mentioned something about my confidence.
I admit, I am alright if I've had a few drinks, but I do realise that isn't really a good solution...
It's fine as a temporary solution.
As others have said, try looking at people in the eyes. It is all about how you think people think of you. Try and feel good about yourself.
also you need to challenge yoruself and get out of your confort zone, doing things you wouldn't normally do.
:yes: This is what I do although lately, I've actually been really confident rather than pretending which is cool. Boys love confidence :yes: I'm not overly confident though as I don't think thats very attractive.
This does seem true.
