Everybody asks this question. It's called practice, dude. Your problem is probably that you're positioning your fingers in the wrong way so they mute the strings. When you practice the chord positions and get better you won't have to worry about it, until then you'll need to practice chords until the finger position is second nature. Don't worry, your fingers will learn before your head does.

There is a couple of weeks in the very beginning where the time taken between forming one chord and forming the next is just too long. The solution is to keep trying the changes over and over again until the fingers just go to the right place automatically.
The good news is there is no secret to it (since you are teaching yourself, you might think you are missing something) the bad news is there is no secret to it (it just takes time).
Hope that helps. Keep at it! :)

Yep, practice. I've only been playing for a couple three months and I practiced for 20-30 minutes every day. I can switch between G, Em, C, D, A, and E chords easily now. It may seem hopeless at first (it did to me), but you WILL get the hang of it. :)

Haha, I was estimating. I get what you're saying. To me, a couple is two and a few is three.
