Tweee, I was a shy kid in 4th grade. I had no friends and school was miserable. Summer sucked because I had no buddies to play with. My brother did not want to hang out with me because I was too young to do what he wanted to do.
Since I was always the new kid in school and I was going to a new school where no one knew me as the shy kid I decided to try to not be shy. First day of school I walked up to a group of 5 boys. I said Hi, I am Glen the new kid, can I hang out with you guys? They were not sure but one of the kids started asking what made me think they needed any more friends. I said no one has too many friends. I told them I had lots of adventures when I was living in Hawaii. Most of the boys have never more than a hundred miles from that school.
That year I had a ton of friends. I have never been a shy person since. I can strike up a conversation with anyone. I simply made a descision that shy was stupid and boring. I was right.
