Please I'm a 17 year old boy in a boarding school but I have this problem,talking to the opposite sex and relating with them.I'm always scared to do so.It's something you'll hardly see me do.And it's really affecting me.Please any way out.

God is not partial what you lack socially, you should have intellectually. So, get the best out of your education and see opposite, adjacent and hypothenus sex flocking round you.


But if you are bent on truncating your academic journey, e easy. Look for girls that are always alone and start assocating with them. Most of them feel the way you feel, if you go to the scocial ones, you might be laughed at and your ego bruised.


Now, smile, smile and smile, it does the magic. My smile can melt an iron heart. Even our proprietress, once said, "Stop smiling like I'm your girlfriend".



Smile at girls, especially the lonely ones

Sounds like you're the shy type, welcome to the crew. I was once like that but I kinda grew out of it by always imagining/examining the worst thing that could happen whenever I'm afraid of doing something. If it won't kill me then there's nothing to fear.

I like Paulpaulpaul's reply, he really took his time.

Thanks sir
