If you think you are too shy and want to be a little outgoing, try the following rules. You can make it.

Talk to others first. If you find it hard to do, say something nice about people around you.Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to those people?

Turn your attention （注意） to somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't worry about your looks or care if people like you.

Reward yourself. Each time after you say “Hi” or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself “You did it!” or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice-cream.

Keep trying and one day you won't be shy any more when you talk to others.
