How to become more confidant?

I've been very successful in my life so far for a 28 year old, but no matter how well I do I find it nearly impossible to go up and talk to new people. This has really put quite a damper on my social life. I'm a good looking guy with a great job nice house nice car and still to shy to talk to anyone I'm not introduced to. Anyone got any tips or perhaps some kind of exercise I might be able to do to help me open up a little bit. Thanks.

Answer:
I'd say you've been afraid of exploring the unknown. Your fear of the new and your constant search for "security" (clinging to old customs even when you're no longer having fun with them) keeps you from growing as a person. Perhaps you avoid them because you think they are better than you or you're afraid they're going to judge you by standards that you don't understand or you think you can't change, when there's no such thing. Try meeting new people without worrying about your future relationship with them, nor feeling guilty for things they (or even yourself) must have done in the past.
i usually turn to my friends for help when it comes to meeting people. im sure if you hang out with new people long enough, you will be able to talk to them openly.

it takes time for some people to get comfy enough to talk openly. i think that is your time. just hang out with new people for a while and see what happens

try to do anyhing without care of other people. not a bad thing that can make u over confdant
I have the same problem too, I find it so hard to communicate even with my own family sometimes. The only solution is for you step up and find courage. People may say this dumb, but I never could talk people the way I should've been. I was called anti-social, and it really hurt because it was true. Childhood life played a major role, but what's done is done. You just have to try.
I had this sort of problem not too long ago, but the Lord healed me of it completely.

I know that many would scoff at that explanation, for many do not believe in God as a Christian would, and some may believe in God but not His power to do miracles.

But lately, I have experienced the most astounding miracles in my life.

Even for one who has a seemingly intractable emotional trauma (for whatever reason), God is able to heal that without a trace of pain of the experience, and also give to one immeasurably more than what was taken in the first place (read the book of Job for that).

I realize that many would not believe what I have said, for the reason that many people are non-believers, but that has been my experience - if the Christian God is real and is all-powerful, certainly He will act if need arises in one of His creatures.
