What is the way to introduce myself and make friends when I am shy?

1 Answer

Answer :

I am also quite shy and am not the type to go up to people and introduce myself. If you can’t do it either, I suggest at least smile at people and make yourself look approachable. Make it obvious that you are just shy, not an anti-social asshole. I find if you can’t go up to people, let them come to you.
