How can you overcome shyness?? blushing??

Answer 1

I think confidence is overrated, especially when so often it is misplaced, i have much more respect for someone who is comfortable enough to offer silence and not need to constantly assert themselves, however if you are asking because you want to be more confident, then i'd say start with learning to be confident with who you are and embrace the fct that you blush, and feel it, you need to feel all that embarssment before it will shift, i know first hand, sometimes laughing it off can help, hiding behind your hands, or even getting your friends to join in and hide you behind their hands, gets everyone laughing...hope you try some things, but mostly just know that you are good enough, just as you are, and you don't need to change for anyone.

good luck

Answer 2

I overcame my own shyness by enrolling in college years ago, and also forcing myself into situations where I had to join groups or start conversations with others. The key to starting conversations with others is to discover common ground on a subject you both know something about, or ask the other (s) a question that isn't too personal. People love nothing more than to talk about themselves to others, and it really works.

Answer 3

A sure fire way not to blush, is to tell the person that you are talking to that you blush. Sometimes it is the whole internal dialogue about blushing ("I'm going to blush, I know I am") or being tongue tied or having panic attacks that sets them off. Once it is out of your head and in the open, it won't happen. Honest, I had a terrible period of panic attacks when presenting at meetings. Try telling someone that you are shy and tend to blush - anyway, I heard someone recently say "she paid me the complment of blushing". It ain't so bad.

Answer 5

Drama helps even if (if you're anything like me) you'll hate every single class! Still, after 3 years of drama and dancing classes I can say it helps. Also, get active! One action will lead to another and slowly things change. Don't try to be the center of attention or aim too high too soon! With small steps it's easier!
