Everyone makes fun of me for being so shy.

I don’t talk because I’m afraid I’ll just embarrass myself. Help!

First off, conquer that fear. Everyone says silly things from time to time. It’s part of life. What’s the worst that can happen? Some people might laugh. If you join in and laugh at yourself, too, the whole thing will be forgotten in a few minutes. Once you shake the fear, practice joining in or starting up conversations with one person. After you feel more confident, speak up in bigger groups.
