Answer 1

Hey, I am a little concerned that all of your questions contain the word eliminate. But here goes. Alot of people are shy. The key is to find common ground with people that you speak to. Even if it is something as small as the color they have on that maybe you like. Anything. That will let you know that people are just like you. Build on what you have in common with the person you are trying to have a conversation with and build from that. Try it. You will see that it does work. Before you know it, you will be have long drawn out conversations with people. As far as being shy to start a conversation. You have to look inside of yourself and love yourself and not feel funny about yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a person worthy of having friends and smiling and all that good stuff.

Answer 2

Ofen times, I've concluded that the only way to get rid of the problem si not to ignore it, but to quit focusing on it. Look at it this way:

Suppose you were to walk into the room without caring about what anybody else thinks. Realizing that you, just being yourself, has found the confidence to talk to somebody. Then you talk to another person. And another and so forth. Once you start making connections, the ice is broken. Now you can just talk to new people ona regular basis without even caring!

So here's the deal... just don't over-analyze it. Don't overthink things too much, and maybe just feel better bout yourself.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself this...I am stuck with you! Let's make the best of this!
Seriously, you are good at something right? Like music, drawing, fashion, poetry, knitting, gaming, sculpture, cooking, reading, writing, gardening, talking, inventing, skating, softball, any sport.......take your God given talent and use that as a vehicle! Be the best at it. practice, study, find others to share that talent with. If it is art..join the art club. Show your art and talk to others about your interests. Just do it and do it well! Best wishes!

Answer 4

Get some meditating tapes on 'shyness' and follow step by step. Meditating is very good for many different things. I assume you are a teenager, so why don't you go up to one of your classmates and introduce yourself. Say 'hi, my name is.......,what's yours. Just wanted to tell you I really like your dress or shirt, shoes etc'. Feel the fear and do it anyway. You will be surprised. Go ahead do it.

Answer 5

How about make it a point to say "Hello" to at least five people a day? At school or work or at the market or store?

Usually, after a quick hello (especially with people who you see regularly) it will break the ice and they will come back with a random comment that usually starts a conversation.

Good Luck

Answer 7

When you walk into a room, take a step back and feel the room out. Then pick someone and try to slowly work your way into a conversation. Don't try to charge into a room and just grab somebody and talk to them.

Answer 8

Try hypnosis or working somewhere that shyness isn't an option. Like a telemarketer.

Answer 9

Picture everyone in their underwear, and know they have issues and problems, perhaps more than you. If that don't work then go check out Kareoke, most of them are very supportive. Because they don't wanna be booed.

Answer 10
