Are There Any Type Of Pills That You Can Take If You Are Way To Shy?

Question

Thanks for looking. I was wondering if any pills exist that can cure shyness or make you more outgoing? I am very shy, and am tired of it. I want to be more outgoing when meeting new people, and just not care what everyone thinks of me sometimes. Is there anything I can take other than drugs? Thanks

Answer 1

Shyness is a personality trait usually caused by traumatic event that occured early in ones life and is not curable by a particular medication. It may be relieved or masked by certain medication but those medications never cure the malady. Most people suffer with shyness for a lifetime, willing to avoid confrontation and close, uneasy situations. I admire your recognition of your problem and willingness to seek advice. Seeking professional advice may not be a financial or personally convenient option at this time but I think it is your best option. Your hesitation may be caused by your shyness. If you can get over this initial step, your horizon is un-imaginable, but you have to take this first step. Medication may help mask the symptoms but it won't fix the problem.

Answer 2

I am socially anxious- so that when walk down the street feel shy, when teacher walks to me i feel weak etc. I never talk when there is somebody new, and dont like looking people in the faces because of what they think.

Think if you are just shy or socially anxious, pretty much if u r socially anxious you are shy. http://www.aboutourkids.org/aboutour/articles/socially_anxious.html will help you study if you are anxious or just shy. Often people dont know that they are socially anxious, just think they are shy, but find they were wrong as think socially anxious is much more extreme than it actually is..

Most people are socially anxious because they are scared of what people will be thinking of them.

I dont think there is any pills which you can take, which wont totally ruin your brain. The drugs will make you relax, or getting drunk may but these are short term and have long rm effects.
The most effective way of getting rid of being shy/socially anxious is on the page i mentioned earlier, which is going to a therapy course- should not be too long - and stop you negative thoughts, which is a main cause. Look at the site for more detail.

The course may take time, but think how it will help you in life.
Another way is just continue in what you are confident in, and then you will not be worred, because you think you are good at it. However this way of helping is often ruined when there is sombody better than you at your hobby, showing your weaknesses up.

No; I'm sorry. Boldness or confidence do not come in a pill.
You may want to consider developing a hobby. As you learn what things you enjoy or are good at, your confidence grows. I took voice lessons for 5 years. I started taking them because I hated my voice.
However, as I learned breathing techniques & diction, etc...I began experimenting with singing. I started out by joining a choir & simply singing as a group.
However, I began receiving compliments. This helped me try duets & trios...& I discovered that not only do I have perfect pitch, but I can harmonize very well. I can "hear" different harmonies in my head.
Anyhow, I got lots of compliments every time I sang. My confidence has really grown as I discovered my passion for music & singing...& a little acting, on the side.
Having said all that, B Complex 100 mg & Ginseng both help with nerves & stress. You may want to consider taking these as you work on your personal development issues.
Good luck, & happy self discovery!

Yeah, that's a tough one. I don't think pills are the answer - maybe a temporary fix at best. Maybe you could just make a list of your insecurities and then just go one at a time - working on each. (like if you're overweight - join a gym. If you don't think you're attractive - find a celebrity that looks the most like you and steal their 'groove... clothes/haircut - so on, and so on.) The best thing, I think is to do that one thing you dread above all others. Get involved in something - make yourself go to parties - if you just make yourself do it the first couple of times - it'll get easier.

Answer 5

The only thing that has helped me is my anti-depressants. I have tried everything, breathing techniques, etc. There is also an over the counter drug called L-Theanine that is an anti-stress formula. It seems to help me in a really stressed situation. Good luck.

Answer 6

Some of the antidepressants are advertised as treating social anxiety
