Overcoming shyness


Question Posted Sunday September 25 2005, 6:49 pm

Hi, I'm a really really shy guy, and so like asking people out (which I've only done once) takes like all my energy and like an hour, and I always worry about what if she says no, what if, what if, etc. Are there any good ways to overcome shyness? And saying to just face my fears doesn't exactly help... can someone tell me how to face them instead? Thanks all!

Hi there, There is only one way to do it sadly. Youve got to ask! I really do know were your coming from. You might find that if you ask and build the conversation you might build confidence. Its just getting over there and doing it thats our biggest fear. Think about it whats the worst that could happen? She says no. Then you might want to reply by saying maybe another time. You could always ask your Docter for some special tablets. Just keep saying to yourself "Do it" "Do it" thats all you can do. Hope that works. Daniel.

Ok well I can't exactly tell you how to overcome you're fear but i can tell you something that might help you! I'm a girl and from my point of view, If I say no to a guy, I'm still flattered that he asked me out and came up with guts! I don't waste my time making fun of them or anything I just think Oh well that was really sweet! So if you're worried about what a girl might think of you, dont worry it's nothing bad. Now I know that wasn't the exact answer to your question but i still hope i helped! ♥ caitie

I don't really know what you can do about your shyness, but I have some advice for asking girls out. Just go right up to her and do it. What's the worst she can do? Say no? Don't worry, if she says no, then too bad for her, she's missing out on a great guy. And if she says yes, congrats. I know whow you feel, I was like that until this year, and I finally just figured "Why not?" Good luck!

well,
my friends are like that a lot and since i am a girl i can tell you that most girls will not deny you in a mean way. if she does then you obviously are not asking the right person because she is a bitch. i woulnd't want to hurt someones feelings but heres what you can do. psych yourself up and practice or get your self ready. practice not stuttering while getting nervous because she may lose her patience. i sometimes threaten my friends with bodily harm because they like some guy and never stop talking about him but never do anything. so just go for it.
