Are you shy?

when i was a child, i'm very shy. i dared not to speak to any stranger. even when someone came to our house, i hided myself in the room, afraid of being seen, very unbelievable now. but now, i think i'm not shy though maybe sometimes will. all because when i was in the school, i was the monitor. when they always chose the one who had best score to be the monitor, so i got the chance to practising speaking in public. it's really right, practice makes perfect.

There are two types of persons. Extrovert and introvert. Introverts are mostly shy types. You should get them into bigger social circle slowly and make them more comfortable. Respect their quality of nature and their sentiments. Never tease them, praise them where necessary. They will get into main stream slowly.

I used to be very shy, a lot! I dare not to walk alone, as when everyone stare at me, I become nervous, very nervous. But I set in my mind to change my attitude, and be positive. The result, I become less shy, and I make more friends than ever.

I was super shy when I was growing up. Until I was about 17 I couldn't go into super markets alone or go alone to pay for something or call people that I didn't know on the phone. Not sure why I couldn't, but it made me very uncomfortable. The best thing I did for my shyness was I moved out. When I was on my own, I had no choice but to do those things for myself. And then I got a job in retail, so I was constantly approaching and being approached by people that I didn't know. I had to learn to be social and now I'm not at all shy and can walk up to any random person and just start talking! I think the best way to overcome shyness is to do things that are out of your comfort range. That way you can get used to not being shy. :)

It depends upon the situation. To my friends, I don't feel any shame. But I'm shy to their parents. Also, I am shy to share my talents like singing and dancing. LOL We should just add confidence to ourselves. We should think positive. Being shy is just in our minds. We can overcome it by the power of thinking. Toinks.

I used to be so shy that everytime I talked to someone especially a guy or go in front of the crowd i'd blush and my knees would tremble. Im 26 years old now and my life experiences has taught me a lot to be more confident and to just accept who I am despite my flaws and imperfections. Sometimes being shy stems from the fact that we have poor self-image, or low self-esteem. We feel like we are not pretty or smart enough, or because we have poor social skills. But the more we try to interact with people, and the more we learn to accept and love ourselves despite our flaws, the shyness would eventually fade away and you'll be surprised just how confident you have become. I know it can be hard to overcome shyness. But start with improving your self-image. Wear clothes that accentuate and make you feel beautiful. Have a nice haircut, wear that pretty smile, improve your posture. Tell yourself that you're beautiful, sexy, smart, funny and cool. Don't think too much of what other people might think. Find something that you are passionate about and excel in it. Once you find something you're good at, it builds your confidence. Once you're confident - goodbye shyness!Hope i have helped you! Have a good day! happy mylotting friend!

Hmmm yes I'm shy especially around people I don't know. I seem to fold up and blush everytime they'd talk to me or ask me questions. But around people I know, I'm always goofing around and i'm very playful.

This is a great idea my friend. I am not all that shy, but I do have issues with speaking when there are a bunch of people around...especially those I don't know. I'm taking an advanced public speaking class at school this fall so I'm hoping that will give me some tips on how to overcome this!

Hello mzz. I used to be shy when I was young. Even now I still feel shy sometimes for some cases though I am not that shy at all. My shyness all depends on the situation I am involved in.

When I was younger, I was really very shy. i just overcame my shyness when I started going to college and became active with extra curricular activities. It also helped me that I joined an organization and found friends. Now that I'm older, it's not an issue anymore to talk to someone.

I am not even before. Shyness maybe could only be overcame if you have exposure to people around you. You can do this by being together with your best friend, best friends' friend until you get used of seeing and going with them. In this way, you slowly building confidence with yourself until your shyness' gone.. Good luck and thanks for responding..

I was so shy also since my childhood and till I got married. When I got into sales, however I was able to overcome my shyness. It started when I joined the Tupperware sales, where you have to present and demo the products. Our manager accompany us first in conducting our demos but the next time we went out, she dropped each of us in an office where we have to conduct presentations. You have the products, the audience and the product knowledge. I have the floor and forget my shyness thinking it's only me who knows what I'll be talking of, anyway. My demo is a success, from that time on. I learned how to face people and talk in front of them. I'm no longer shy even when I shifted to Insurance and real estate.

When i was a kid I used to be a little shy.Not very.I think most of kids have this piont in normal.I thought my brother is more shy than me.Haha When he was young he always follow behind of my mother .For this i laughed at him.But now he is a big boy now.Still have a liitle shy i think comeover a shy it's not a easy sutff isn't it?

i am very shy at times.i dont like being the centre of attention,knowing people are looking at me. it makes me feel uncomfortable and insecure.when my husband and i decided to get married 3 years ago,i tried to pursuade him to elope so that i would'nt have to be the centre of attention at my wedding.lol. Didn't happen. I endured a whole day of being in the spotlight.

Yes I am but not always.

Hi, ya i used to be shy also during my childhood, and even until my early secondary school years. Actually i also do not really know the exact reason behind the shyness,haha. Perhaps it is because i was not used to be interacting with others, expecially strangers or people that are not close to me. Maybe this is the reason for most of the people to be shy too. People tends to think and care what others will think about them if they act or do something, and this make them can't do things freely, and this caused to shyness. What to do to overcome shyness? Everything has to start with oneself. The person has to take the first step, and try to do the things which will make him/her feel shy. After doing it for a few times and get used to it, they'll start to feel that it was not so difficult or having anything to shy about afterall. Have a nice day!

Yes,you are so right!

Yes i'm a shy person even now . i do think shyness is no good at all but i just cann't get rid of it . Now i'm better and i begin to talk with different people in our community but i still fail to make a speech in public . Shyness made me lose a lot of good chances in real life . i know it can be overcomed if u are determined to be confident . i'm just too lazy sometimes .

I have never been shy. It's not a problem for me to have a conversation with anyone. To make your shyness easier, you have to get better confidence. And you have to find the mood for approaching people. Some people always think the worst thing that can happen for them if they go up to another people. And they think too much that what other peoples think of themselves and It makes them nervous. And nervousness makes you shy. Try to overcome your nervousness so you can get over your shyness( i think they are almost same things, but nervousness is easier to understand what it is) In order to do so, stop thinking the worst thing that can happen. Nothing bad happens to you when you communicate other people. I just go say hi, and depending on what I want of them, ill tell the case. If I want them to do something, move out of way, i'll do it politely just asking it. If I just want to talk with them, ill say something like "You look like you would do with some company so what if we would go out to coffee"
