Day 18

Today I talked to one of my teachers more, Mr.Orison. I talked to him about basketball, afterschool when I had to go in for test corrections. (:

Day 17

Today I felt so lazy that I didn't do anything to talk more

Day 16

Well today I was working out at the park by my house when all of a sudden a couple of people came by and sat down right where I was working out. Usually I would've left but I know I need to put myself in awkward situations to get rid of my shyness, so I kept on doing my own thing. Also, today, I talked with a couple freshmen who I had only really said hey or what's up to before today

Day 15

Today I went to my dentist and said "hi " to every dentist in the rooms that I passed on my way to my room. Then, I said a little more sentences than usual with my dentist and that was about it.

Day 14

Today I talked to the mail lady and asked for our mail. She was really polite and I always wondered why she was afraid of dogs, but I chickened out instead of asking her >.< Anyways, she was happy to talk to me and had a big smile on her face the whole time. Maybe this is because no one askes her how her day is going on the job or anything like that. I was glad I spoke to her

Day 13

Today I couldn't do anything to be less shy but I went to Maxi foods and asked a guy for 2lbs of chicken and he was trying to talk to me in Spanish ._. I couldn't really do anything about that so I just looked at him like this O_O and said thank you once he gave me the chicken..

Day 12

Today I chatted with one of my parent's friends. I thought it was really awkward because none of my parents where around and I get pretty shy and I feel intimidated when I'm with an adult alone. There was a couple sliences and after a few minutes, i was done, I couldn't keep the conversation going after that.

Day 11

Today I went to my bestfriends house and had a conversation with her mom, I even told her a couple jokes! I usually just say "hey! How are you?" to her mom, but not today. I also yelled alot in 6th period basketball, encouraging the girls.

Day 10

Today I actually talked in class. I answered a ton of questions in Algebra 2, even though they were easy and no one else was answering. I also answered a few questions in ap history, which is my worst subject, but I took a chance and told myself to at least try ! :p

Day 9

Today I made a new friend in math, her name is Kathia. I didn't really talk to her, but I introduced myself to her first. I'll probably end up talking to her more during this week and next week

Day 8

Honestly, I didn't do anything today to be less shy because I forgot to! But tmrw is another day, so I'll see what I can do

Day 7

Today I walked around my neighborhood, saying "hi" to every person I saw and I occasionally asked how they were doing. Some people didn't say anything back and others replied with just a hi or sometimes even a few sentences.

Day 6

So today I did a couple things to be on the pathway of being less shy. First, I played basketball with my dad and his friends. Now normally I wouldn't do this because I've never played street ball with people I didn't know. Next, my mom's friend came to our house and I played with her four little kids, instead of just keeping to myself and not saying anything.(:

Day 5

So today I invited over my old friend, Eva and my new friend from the baskeball team, Jazzmine over to my house. I had only talked to Jazzmine in school by saying hi or bye, but today we actually got to talk and play some basketball.

Day 4

Today I talked a bit more in my classes. For example, I answered questions and tried to talk to most of the people around me.

Day 3

Today I had a general conversation with an old man in my neighborhood. I was just asking him questions, the conversation was only a couple minutes long. I didn't want to ask him for a picture...so I just took a picture of his house instead lol.

Day 2

Today I met a new friend named, Julia. I decided to talk to her first because I had never heard her say anything before. I found out that she likes soccer and is the oldest in her family. In all honesty, it wasn't that hard talking to a new person :) I have to say this is a step closer to success in becoming less shy!

Day 1

Okay so today was actually the first day to start the challenge. I started off with something easy, which was talking to people that I've haven't spoke to or said anything to in a long time. Although I couldn't think of anything to say at first (it felt like we were strangers again) I finally thought of something, and it got easier to talk from there.

The 1st Day

For the next 30 days, I have decided to try and become less shy and more outgoing. I feel like this would be a good challenge for me because I am usually really shy around adults and people that I don't know. d:
