How to be more outgoing with your besties

Feel like you fade into the background with your BFFs because you’re afraid to speak up or say how you feel? Don’t be scared! Being shy around friends is completely normal. But if you’re looking to bust your bashful behavior, we’ve got some tricks to help you. By believing in yourself and making an effort to get more involved in your group, you can stand out in a great way among your friends. Try these tips to shake your shyness.

Be confident

First, you have to be confident. Becoming more outgoing starts with being more positive and self-assured. If you have confidence in yourself, you'll feel encouraged to participate more with your pals.

Initiate plans

Take the time to plan a fun-filled day for you and your friends. If you tend to go along with the plans and never really make them, take this step into extra consideration. Show your friends you're excited to see them by proposing a hang out and getting all of your besties involved. A day like this will make for tons of new memories and a whole lot of BFF love.

Share your interests

Maybe you feel shy because you’re used to hearing what all of your friends like, but never talk about what you like. Stop just listening and start sharing. Open up about your interests, your likes, your dislikes and other pieces of information that make you who you are. Not only will this help you be more comfortable around your pals, but it will also give them the chance to learn more about you.

Start conversations

Don’t just occasionally chime into the conversation; try to start one yourself. If you have a topic worth talking about, tell your besties. Create conversation and come even closer with your BFFs.

Remember that your friends love you

Always keep in mind that your friends love you for you and won't judge you because of what you say or how you feel. You should always be able to show your true self to your besties so stop worrying about what your friends might think and start growing as a confident and outgoing gal.
