How Do You Overcome Shyness?

well, building up your self-esteem will help a lot. Socialize yourself more and not just sit in a corner. Think of it as a way to have yourself a treat of many friends. There is everyday encounter so you have lots of people to befriend.

Every human being has some or other problem. This is the wonder of God. Nothing to worry even I suffered with this shyness in my child hood. But my teacher gave me lot of courage and encouraged me to dashingly approach a stranger and talk to him something . something. Hence I used my mind and being small and cute any stranger was answering me with lot of affection.This passed on for sometime say a couple of months. Slowly an inbuilt courage grew in me and it got avoided without my knowledge. The only thing is be smart to talk to any one in a bold way and try to express in a loving way so that they also reciprocate in the same way.

There was a time I was like you. My classmates (that are not my friends) even call me a snob. They just do not know that I do not feel like talking to other people I do not know very well or not close. But gradually I became less shy person since growing up required some courage to talk to strangers and not so close people. In school my group mates even to my protest would elect me as their group leader so I had no choice. There are public speaking activities that I had to attend and speeches I have to make. The best thing that you can do is practice speaking to other people. If you can not do it at first then observe your friends. (I hope you have friends that are extroverts so you can learn from them). Think this "I am as good or even better than them so why be shy". "I have qualities that i can be proud of too". But please do not be too confident that you became boastful okay. Think something positive about your self and confidence will come your way but of course stay humble.

You decide to over come it. Then, you resolve to act in spite of your your fears and worries. I like to say to myself, several times each day. "It is none of my business what other people think of me, the only thing that is my business is what I think of myself." Having this ingrained as a belief, has really made it easier for me to speak my mind, regardless of the opinions of others. Which is a good thing, because when you speak your truths, regardless of reaction, it is one of the highest forms of integrity. With appreciation.

I'm usually shy around gorgeous women. What i do is get myself drunk before hanging out with them. That way, almost all of my inhibitions are gone.

Shyness is a natural emotion that is sometimes difficult to overcome since it roots from insecurity and an irrational fear to speak up for fear of being rejected or ignored. Sometimes, it is brought on by stressful situations (stage frights, . There are different times in our lives that we've experienced this emotion, but being too shy can hamper many aspects of our lives; i.e. success in career, love life, and other opportunities). To overcome this, we must focus on the brighter side. We must always think positive and not demean our opinions or thoughts. It is also essential to let go of bad memories that are attached to certain situations that induces shyness. Think of some good memories to replace the bad ones. Try to reach your potential by understanding and sharing insights. You can start with your family and circle of friends. From there, grow your circle to the outside world. Recognize the merit of your thoughts and their value. Give yourself the chance to be recognized and you'll see opportunities coming toward you.

I breathe, face the world.. and shout to myself.. Every one here is the same I as am.. there's no point in getting shY!!

When i was a child, i was exactly like you, never opening my mouth, never saying anything only if people ask me questions. When i go to the secondary school and high school, my shyness was disapearing little by little but i am always afraid when we must do an oral evaluation in front of the class even today i don't like that at all! Today, i'm just a little shy, but i'm a natural non- talkative person, it is why i don't like to talk so munch like all these girls xD. I don't know how my shyness disapear, it comes anturally when we are growin and i'm sure that it will be the same for you. ^^
