tips for shy people?

Question

I am a shy person and it would be so awsome if you could give me tips on how to open up more to people

Answer 1

First, try and figure out what it is that makes you shy. Are you worried about what you'll say? Are you worried you'll have NOTHING to say? Are you afraid to appear stupid? If you can pinpoint a few things that make you really nervous when you are in a public situation it is easier to work on it.

I always work with my friend who is VERY shy...she is afraid she won't have anything to say....so we role play. I pretend I'm a stranger and we make idle chit chat (it sounds stupid but it makes her feel less nervous when she gets in a social situation). It may help to have a friend with you when you are in a social situation at first...to bring you into the conversation and get you started.

Also, when you get in a social situation try to figure out what is running through your head while you are in the situation. This may seem hard because generally when we talk to ourselves it happens so often we don't even realize it.

Just know that while you are trying to break out of your shell...it is going to be uncomfortable and very awkward...it just will be and that is okay! It takes a while to break a habit. The more you do it and the more you place yourself in a social setting...the more comfortable you will get with it. There are links below of some other hints from websites.

If you are afraid you'll look stupid...just remember that "Those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind." Good luck!!

:) the more u work on urself, the better u will feel. *trust me*.

so having said that, work on:

1) your appearance: work out. exercise. take care of ur body. take care of ur skin. get new haircut. try on new clothes. buy Flattering, stylish clothes, make u feel good and look good.

2) your mind: study. read more. learn more about current events. find a hobby, and excel at it. the more u KNOW, the easier it will be for you to develop your own ways of thinking, as well as be able to TALK w/ others about it.

3) your relationships: as u build ur confidence in urself, and keep in mind to be Open Minded, Non Judgemental to others..... u will be able to speak out more, talk to ur friends, family members, practice talking about anything and everything u are learning, or find out what they are interested in. the more u practice, the easier it will be for u to do that with Strangers, or friends of friends, and not feel as shy...because remember, 1 & 2, u are already working on ur appearance and your brain, so u don't have as much to be "scared" about.

:) good luck...the more Positive attitude u have (remember, u can Always change something if u make a mistake, u can learn from it, u can always grow, and do something different tomorrow), the more opportunity u will have in ur life. confidence will lead to easier job interviews, class discussions, making friends, getting to know teachers, etc etc.... huge impact on ur life. but getting over ur shyness is the first step, and working on ur confidence will help u become less shy.

Answer 3

well a good way to open up is by talking to people on the internet. If you like them it's a lot easier because you aren't face to face. There are usually classes you can take to help you overcome shyness. You should do a local search for it. I know at my college we have classes for speaking in front of people which is almost the same thing.

Good Luck!
