i like to visualize it step by step, over and over, until it feels like i have done it before and i become comfortable with the routine. it is like self-hypnosis. then, i try to do it in real life, and it feels much easier. and, i usually end up succeeding, whether it is on the first try, or having performing it a couple of times.

do you always feel that you can the confidence and you can influence any people you talk to..i am a shy person,i want to talk to different peoples ,view their concept and their reviews,still when i talk to them face to face at some or other point i lack words,and i am not able to express myself,later on when i loose the oppurtunity i realise what i should have spoken..does it happen to all in some time while experiencing to influence people..

i used to be shy when i was young, and i used to avoid public speak and stuff like that. but as i got older, i dont care anymore. i just do it. u just need to practice. maybe, start by practicing in your home or room, in front of the mirror. then practice with family. then practice with a group of friends. then eventually start practicing with strangers.

.. At first, I was so nervous dealing with people especially talking in front of them.. However, I did my best to read books on how I could boost me self-confidence and it really helped a lot.. The most challenging thing here is that we have to face our fears.. that is the only way we can overcome shyness and develop confidence.. Even if I'm nervous, I still try to volunteer myself to talk in front of many people.. Because I know if I didn't face my fear of audience, I can never develop my self-confidence.. Mingling with people will also help.. like sitting down with other people in a seminar or just talking to them in the park.. However, we have to be careful to whom we converse with of course.. there are people who seem nice but has different purpose in conversing.. that is also the risk in talking with strangers.. But for me, I trust my instincts and usually my instincts are right.. I hope you could be able to face your fears too and overcome your shyness so that you can develop your self-confidence.. After all, we are in a world full of competitions and we need lots of self-confidence to compete.. Happy mylotting..
