  I am a quiet guy, not shy, from my point of view thats what i think. In times of job interview, project meeting, I do speak up.
  
  However, the problem comes during outing, friends, group outing....this is when I will stay real quiet. UP in my mind, I have nothing to say....
  
  I think i really need to change, and I really hope you guys here can help me.
  I dun need to transform into a super noisy machine, I just wish I could at least be not so quiet......
  
  Thankz
  

  Just focus on speaking to one or 2 people for a start..?

  U can never turn talkative overnight, nor can a talkative fella turn quiet overnight.
  
  However there is something u can try, like maybe try to be in the conversations with ur frenz. Chip in a sentence or two once in a while. Even if u don't like the topic of conversation, u can just sit there and smile. It shows that u r very much into the conversation.
  
  If u r quiet by nature, just be urself. No one would want a pretentious fren.
