i need help on my attitude..?

I'm already in college but i do not know why my bad attitude is still with me. When i see my classmate i wanted to say hi but fear and shyness prevented me from doing so, and as a result i get labelled as cocky and show off but actually i'm not....Whenever i started talking to someone it will only last for a minute and then there is silence, i don't know how to carry on the conversation. Sometimes, i feel really depressed of my attitude. many times i decided to change but always end up failing. my social life ain't that good either cause i have only 1 or 2 friends.

I have a friend who stay nearby and we car pool but we also barely talk in the car. it is like i have nothing to say to her but in fact i know i do not know how to start a conversation and carry it on.

sometimes when there's homework given and i don't know how to do, i need to seek help from friends but the problem is i don't have much friend. At times, i get depressed on how to finish my work as i dont know how to do it.

I really really want to change my life , i want to be surrounded with friends and have a more positive outlook in my life. how can i start?

    I used to have the same issue, what I found helped me was writing down good subjects to talk about, like music or even subjects.

    It also helps to have a little confidence as well, bare in mind I'm not saying to love yourself and yada yada yada, just accept yourself with your flaws and your skills, you are who you are and what you don't like you can change which in this circumstance is part of your attitude so you're on the right track.

    If people ignore you, think nothing of it, their loss not yours, just walk up to people or walk past them, say hi, if they say hi back, and stop, ask them about their day, look interested, it'll show people you care, if you have a problem with the homework, just ask someone if they know how to do it, don't worry about if it sounds stupid, the person will always feel good knowing that someone has asked them for help.

    Hope that helps?
