I am shy :(

Shyness is the direct result of a poor self esteem. To fix shyness you must first work on your self esteem. The better you feel about yourself the less shy you will be. It is hard work. It takes success when interacting with other people. The more success you have the better you will feel. One of the most important things you need to know is what is causing it. What do you feel bad about yourself. Is it looks? Is it a fear you are not as intelligent as most everyone else? Are you not happy with your body? Until you know what you fear you can not begin to fix it. I have been shy most of my life. It has gotten much better with age but I know I have missed out on so much. My shyness comes from a fear I cannot keep up my end of a conversation. Once you say hi where do you go then? Especially if they are not engaging me. One of the most important things I am trying to understand is that it matters not what others think. Only what I think of myself. But as you know that is not easy to convince yourself of. Start liking yourself and your shyness will fix itself.

Good question ! I am also a very shy person and I can't do much to fix it . Even though I know I shouldn't be like that I can't control it . And I hate this ! I just hope I will improve my self confidence with time and like that the shyness will disappear a little bit . . . I hope it won't remain just a hope . . . :(

I know what you mean, i used to be a really shy person. The only way i can see to solve the issue is to practise. Even if it's just asking a waitress for something instead of getting someone else to do it. Do it little by little. Maybe you could join a club or something where you would know nobody so you would be forced to become less shy? I know going to do a college course solved the issue for me!

This is a very common problem among people. And it persists in a lot of them out there. There is a thing called Social Phobia, which is also compared to shyness. Psychologists take it as a disease. And i also think that they are the best people who can cure it. So, it is better to go to them for a cure to this. Theres nothing wrong with going to a psychologist. So, i think that if you think that you have a serious problem with this then you should probebly go to one.

My friend,you should keep in mind that you are live for youself and whatever you do is make youself happy.You should know that no one stare on you when you do something,and the only things you should do is do your things better.I am a person just like you ,but for several years as i stay in society i know that no one care about you,and you don't worry about it.
