how to shed your shyness?

I am still shy, but not as shy as I used to be. For me the first step was to change my way of thinking. I have always seen shyness as something bad, something which I wanted to get rid of, but one day I read an article which made look at it in another perspective. The article said that shyness is acting in your best interest, and that the goal of shyness is to protect you so that you don't get hurt. It made a lot sense to me, and I started looking at my shyness in different way than before. I try to ask myself that would happen if I wasn't shy and try to figure out what I am afraid of. I usually realize that the things that I am afraid of are unpleasant, but I can survive them. It has also been a help for me to set some small goals and take them step by step.

Hi, I do understand your concern. Even i was like that in my school days. But i dont remember exactly how i got rid of that. I guess you lack self confidence my dear. Sorry if am wrong. Think widely. Don't care about others. Think you are ruling the whole world, but at the same time don't be boastful! Come up with your talents. Try to expose your talents to the world. Participate in all the events in your school and be volunteer in your class. If possible try to get the chance of being a representative of your class. That way you will fight your shyness. And always remember you have only humans around you. So don't fear. Talk in-front of the mirror. Try to have eye contact with others when you have a conversation. Don't worry you will surely say bye-bye to shyness. good luck :) take care..:))
