Hey Guys, I need your help in overcoming one of the problem residing in me. You may call it as conservativeness or inferiority complex.
Rihgt from my childhood I speak less. I remember people used to ask me to talk atleast a sentence. I never bothered anybody. I never thought of this problem seriously before. But now I feel that I am missing something. I observed, before talking, I always think what others will say, what they will think. Is it a problem or complex? If yes, please give some remedy to overcome it. Thanks.

MelikoDee answered Sunday October 24 2004, 10:50 pm: No. It's not a problem. Some people just don't talk. Some people talk very little.
It's just your personality. You have nothing to worry about. The reason you feel as if you are missing something is probably because people pester you to talk when you just plain don't feel like it. Don't let it get to you. Just be yourself. People appreciate silence more than they realize. [ MelikoDee's advice column | Ask MelikoDee A Question ]

Even if your shy you need to look at that fear and make urself do it. I know its hard but come on, your wasting your life. You could be partying right now or something, lol. It is a huge problem, you should really fix it. There's nothing no one can do. It's all up to you. I mean like what if you have to apply for a job and u have a interview, and they ask you questions. What are you going to do. Come on sweets I believe in you. Just start building your self confidence. You can do that by meeting new people. Make new friends. Start getting in school activites or something. I hope everything works out.=]
Cath answered Sunday October 24 2004, 10:20 pm: Hi Sweetie,
As a child I was shy and quite. But I've changed in my teenage years. Well it sounds like you're very wise. Unfortunately people don't see or care about that. Yes its true you should always think before speaking (I've gotten myself into messes for not doing so) but sometimes there's really nothing specific people want to hear. Sometimes people just ask a question to hear a voice (...I hope you understand what I'm saying). Maybe you should try speaking when something interests you. Don't worry of what others will thinka and if you make a mistake in what you say dont worry, everybody does too. Words arent as strong as actions.
People will think more of you if you voice your emotions. If you say something wrong people will forget it. People don't remember the crap things people say but the wise stuff said. And the only way you're quote will be remembered is by speaking up.
I hope I or someone was of help. Best wishes! ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
