Number of ways, most of my friends i just try n make them laugh!. Either that or spoil them in some form or manner, depending upon the personality of the person and the situation they're in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Interesting question!.!.!. as a person whom I suspect others might feel needs loosening up, I can tell you that most people don't *want* to help anyone loosen up (unless it's someone beautiful and they want them to loosen up enough to screw them)!. I find way too many people who think that shy people require just too much effort to bother with!. But if you did want to, I would say be yourself, talk to them, and be accepting of them!. Ask their opinion about things!. Ask them to help you do something!. I am shy, reserved, just not a wild person!. I would feel pretty stupid whooping it up and giving high fives and being perky!. :-) But, I'm intelligent, secretly irreverent, and I love to think about and discuss things , but I'm not very good at small talk!. Thanks for being the kind of person who cares about getting someone to loosen up!Www@QuestionHome@Com

start small and gradually work up to larger sizes!. if you go in for too much too soon, the natural reflex to protect the comfort zone kicks in and they'll clench right up!. that's assuming you're interested in being nice!. sometimes you can come on full force and reduce them to a blubbering mess in no time!. then they are like putty in your hands and through the tears will open up on just about anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I find that beer and lightheartedness (as well as sometimes lightheadedness) often go together!. A bit of humor can help as well!.

With my humor and artistic traits!. I try to get them to believe in themselves!. I go through memories along side them!. I try to reach them through my unique artistry!. I try to relate art with their ongoing thoughts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

oddly enought people who are not loosened up tend to take things personally! so avoid that and have fun! make them do stuff out of there comfort zone!
you may not think it's loosened up for them but trust me every little bit goes a LONG way!Www@QuestionHome@Com
