how can i not be shy?

Question

IM so shy and get imbarised easy, what should i do

Answer 1

surround yourself with friends who bring out the best in you. they'll naturally make you feel more comfortable with who you are, which will eventually make you more comfortable with more and more people :)

Answer 2

I can tell from most of the answers above that they do not understand that shyness comes with physical pain. I guess you know why I know this.

What I did was try to project my shyness on other people. I had a 50/50 chance to be dealing with a shy person anyway. Then I started trying to make them feel more comfortable by smiling at them and looking them in the eye. If it was someone I was sure to be running into on a regular basis, I said Hi to them.

And listening to them. That's the biggie - usually you're so busy listening to the voice in your head say RUN, you don't listen to what they say. Take a deep breath and listen to them.

Good luck, sweetie.

Answer 3

i found a sure way to cure shyness but it, eventually, got me into rehab and aa. i think of that old mountain folky song about "Old uncle Mort was sawed off and short but give him a pint and he thinks he's a giant with that good old mountain dew!" So i guess i will have to tell you to find something else. If you are too shy, take up a hobby or go for a phd or something. if you are shy you are shy and nobody has the true answer that doesn't have bad side effects.

Answer 4

My first thought was alcohol, but I do have a serious answer. I used to be shy until I realized people are going to like you or not. You can't change them, so don't worry about it. The more people you interact with, the more friends you will have. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

The more you socialize, the easier it will get. I was painfully shy as a kid, and also a shy teen. I came to realize that I was just as unique as everyone else and noone paid much more or less attention to me than anyone else.
I also lifted weights, which seemed to boost my self confidence.

Answer 6

Feel better about yourself first, dont think that anyone out is actually better. We are all different.
There is nothing wrong with being shy as long as it is controlled. We all freeze sometimes, or get embarassed.

Look people in the eye teach yourself not too look away. Let them be the ones to look away. Once you have mastered this your shyness will subside in time.

Answer 10

the ideal thing to do , and i tried this, is to challenge yourself and do things that make you feel embaressed...With time, you will lose that feeling. It is like if you do not like a certain food but because you eat it frequently, you get used to it.
