How To Reinvent Myself For A New School Year?

i used to be really shy too. what helped me was i forced myself to get out there and talk to as many people as i can! it sounds lame but this will help teach you how to start a decent conversation. i always got the same comment about looking pissed or sad too, so do the opposite. smile your *** off! even if you dont feel like it. smiling makes you seem more approachable and friendly and people are naturally attracted to that. i smile all the time now and people always tell me how "cute" or "sweet" i am. it sounds super cheesy but just do it. if you make an effort to talk to everyone they will find you approachable. even try to talk with the "preps" and "jocks". they arent as intimidating as you may think. i didnt realize that until after high school and i pretty much partied with a bunch of people that i thought was "better" than me and we all had a good time. just be more outgoing and that will take you where you want to be. :)
