    We'd have to know what caused you to lose your confidence.

    So it’s just the beginning of a school year. Give things a chance.

    Start by smiling , say hello . Don’t worry about success right away. Recognize what your doing wrong .

    Also don’t try so hard. Just be yourself .ask people about themselves. Tell them what you like .

    So what happened? Most people don't lose confidence or change their personalities for no reason at all. In most cases, something happens for that to happen. Often it's a negative social experience - a breakup, a humiliating encounter, rejection, bullying, betrayal etc.

    If you can find the root cause, that will help you in overcoming it. It might be beneficial for you to talk to a counselor.
