If you already know upwards of 30 people in each period, what is the issue?

You will find that crowds are willing to let others do the talking and hold the banner. As long as you're not making an ass of yourself or stumbling through the debate/discussion/whatever, you're good to go, especially if the reason you're talking so much is because nobody else is. It makes you a leader. Chicks dig leaders.


If a girlfriend isn't your goal, don't worry - in high school, girlfriends can take you back a notch in your social status, because they're high maintenance and require you to take time away from others. But everybody will gravitate towards you if girls find you appealing. Everybody.

One great thing to do is, if you like video games, do video game let's plays/commentaries. Basically, it forces you to talk for about 10-15 minutes, and it makes you try to sound interesting while doing it. It's a great way to get practice just speaking, it's done wonders for myself. At first it's going to feel extremely awkward and you're going to sound extremely dumb, but that doesn't matter, because this is for you to benefit, and you will become better with talking by doing so. Plus you might end up making a pretty successful YouTube channel, which is always cool. But for discussions, you just need to talk to people, obviously when you talk into a microphone, you don't get any feedback from the mic, but when you talk to a person you bounce ideas, opinions, thoughts, etc, off of each other. To improve that, you can follow the YouTube thing, and do Co-Op commentaries, which basically forces you into a decently long conversation with another person. Like I said, this is going to be very strange at first, but just do the videos and upload them, no matter how dumb you sound, because you will improve.

Everybody loves good listeners because everybody has something to say. Everybody holds a big ball of stress in their stomach and it will only go away if they can talk about it. It may be weird, but some people are actually more likely to be open with strangers if they don't have good friends. If you can convince a person that you will listen and think about everything s/he says, you may find yourself thinking "Shut up already!"

Locked and censored, because there are people in my life I can't seem to trust with respecting my privacy anymore.
