How to overcome shyness?


Question Posted Saturday May 5 2007, 4:27 am

About a bit over a month ago, me and my friends met lots of new people. They're really great but I'm so shy around them, and find it hard to approach them. One of my best mates has the same problem, but another one is absolutely fine and is really confident with them. One of the girls has starting joking about how quiet me and my friend are, but it's just that I'm shy, I don't want to be known as 'the quiet girl'.

How can I overcome my shyness? Are there any things like visualisations or anything like that that can help you get over it? Or anything else?

Please help, xxx

Be yourself. If you are constantly trying to hold your true personality in, it can be difficult to feel comfortable around other people. Face the fear that is bothering you. Smiling is a good way to start, and shouldn't be too embarassing. A small smile in the direction of a stranger may just brighten your day, and will brighten theirs, too! When you're prepared, you can try speaking to new people, using a light, friendly attitude. Be yourself! Find situations where you know you feel comfortable. Surround yourself with friends or others who bring out the best in you, and build up your confidence through them. Eventually, this will translate to other, more uncomfortable situations.
