I have recentley felt that my confidence has gone up but the thing is that i go to college and i want to be more talkative and i don't know how to do that. i do speak to a lot of people via facebook and i am very talkative but something changes when its in person. What should i do to be more like myself on the internet rather than the shy me in person?also i would like to know what i should act like around people because sometime i get the feeling i look nervous or bored as i fold my arms alot and i am very uncomfortable.what should i do to make myself feel comfortable around other people and what should my body language be like to say that i am confident and calm?please help as i am very shy and want to get over it and just be more relaxed

 You dont have to say a lot to be interesting. just learn to share your opinion. Thats basically what a conversation is one person giving an opinion and you responding to it. Start sharing your opinion with people and topics of interest i find that everyone can relate to is family, pets, dumb shit you did in high school and travel or jsut fun experiences. I find when i talk to people they remind me of a story so its easy to keep up conversation but that doesnt mean go on a rant about nothing. Also body language is huge its wat people notice first. dont cross ur arms have them by ur side or in your lap and when standing definently dont cross ur arms but have one hanging and the other in ur pocket. Im guessing u are aware that when you cross your arms its a sign your closing yourself off to those around you and when you have a more open concept people are more interested. Hope this helps.
