How do someone get rid of my shyness?

Question

I think I am too shy that its affecting my social life

Answer 1

The degree which you are introverted or extroverted is mostly in the genes. The ability to be sociable comes with self confidence which comes with age and ability. The best plan is to become extraordinarily good at or educated in one particular subject, and you will have the confidence to discuss that one, and can branch out into others.

Lots of us gals like a quiet guy. I much prefer my introverted husband over all the party animals.

Answer 2

I'm also terribly shy and sociophobiac, and took therapy for 2 years or more. But in the end I can tell you that shyness didn't go away, but years after that I´ve learned to live with it, accepting it and not making a big fuzz about it. I've learned (opposite of what the therapist used to tell me) self awareness, which derives from self importance, is the biggest enemy. In other words, what has helped me is to focus my mind outside of myself, not thinking of me as the most important person on earth. Trying to like more and care for others. Be more humble (I'm no t saying that your'e not, but I definitely wasn't, and I could actually be mean to others, and that made me lonelier).

Answer 3

i was very very shy pretty much my whole life until i was forced to move out on my own...

you have to be willing to take baby steps.. you have to understand that sometimes when you come out of your shell you will look like a fool sometimes but guess what so does everyone else

the thing that worked for me is when i would go to the store or something ask someone who works there for help and then talk about the weather or something that will cause you to forget for that moment about being shy, and slowly u will open up and talk to other people about nothing with great skill

Answer 5

You just have to make yourself take some chances. Ask yourself what kind of people do I like and how do they talk? What do they do? And summon the courage from within and be that person. Though I hate trite sayings, this might be helpful: Fake it til you make it. But you know what? I always loved shy boys when I was dating. Still waters run deep, you know.

Answer 6

Take a speech class, or a drama class or something where you are expected to get up in front of a group and speak. If you can do that, you might be able to over-come your shyness.
