aaahhh why am i too shy?
i have a small group of good friends and get on well with them and have a best mate. i have other friends that are okay just to say hi etc to but then i get really shy ina big group of people or i go red when i have to stand up infront of a lot of people. also i kind of like someone but i try to deny it and it is difficult as i don't think he is really interested in girls at the mo but sometimes if i go to look at him he is already looking so i look away quickly!!
any advice on how to not go red and how to find out what this guy thinks?
btw i am ok friends with him.
thanks for great advice so far

I was like that when a teenager and was awful, would blush red over nothing, was great with close pals but in a big group got very self conscious and if had to talk in class would blush and then thought about it too much so was a horrible cycle.
As you get older and get more self confidence, assurance in yourself it will stop, be more happy and comfortable in yourself and love yourself and believe in yourself, I was very insecure when your age and felt vulnerable in myself due to parents breaking up, affected me alot but got confidence as got older and in my 30's now and a completely different person, strong and self assured and accepting of myself.
Go to the health store as are natural remedies available and also talk to a pal or confide in someone you can trust, I kept it all in to myself and wish had spoken to someone as hated the way I felt then, wish you luck and email if need any advise.
as for the guy, just give him a smile next time he looks and say hi, hope he has confidence to ask you out or something, sounds like he thinks you're cute.
Also blushing is quite cute, its how you deal with the blushing that matters, make a joke of it and let it pass then.

this sounds like a situation I have been in before. Being a very shy person at times myself I COMPLEATLY understand where you're coming from. My advice to you is to make just a little bit of an effort to talk to this guy on a daily basis. Let him know that you are interested in him even by just hanging around with him more (not in an annoying kind of as but you know what I mean) becuase it sounds to me like he may be showing some interest in you. Also, just some advice on being shy in general, there's no reason to be shy. I was just lie you and one day I realized there was no reason for me to be shy. Have some confidence! I'm sure you're a great person, there's no reason to hide it.

I'm kind of like this too
In school I'm ok, but out of school im really nervous
My older sister (2 years older) used to go everywhere I went too, and people always seemed to be her age or get on better with her, as she is outgoing etc.
However, since she went to uni last year, I have been trying really hard to make more friends and be more confident around others. I have found that just being with people and watching what they find funny and joke about and stuff really helps. Then when you try and enter a conversation you know what kind of thing to say without making a pillock of yourself.
I always go red too, and when I am in a situation when its going to happen, I think to myself, why am i embarrased, and if i can think of something, I make a joke of it and try to make myself feel better. Normally though I cant think of anything worthwhile that I am embarrased about, just the thought that people are watching me. Then I think, well if I was watching someone in this situation, what would i be thinking, and its normally about something completely different!
Then i just reason with myself that they arent looking at me negatively, as i think they are, as im not looking at them like that! =]

you tell him the truth,that your shy and go blush easy.If he's a decent guy he'll be more attracted to you as a result,but if he's sarcastic,give him the elbow.
Don't be too shy.but be a bit shy,as in todays overaggressive,too confident natures,being a little shy is very charming and nice
