Why am I shy to dance and things like that?

Question

This has nothing to do with girls or being social, im outgoing with all that and good with girls. But how come im afraid to dance, even if its with just a few friends, i just feel like scared or stupid-looking when i dance. Im also shy with other things similar, like when I go to a concert and everbodys moving their hands up and down and shaking and crap, I feel stupid doing too so I just like stand there and enjoy the concert. Im also shy about being video taped, and singing/rapping things like that. How do i fix this?

Answer 1

find out how to be a salesmen, and have that kind of attitude, and me too , i did have this problem once , but i always focused on trying to see ur self in 3rd person, and think, who is actually looking at you at a concert. they have to be really borred someplace to criticize otehr people and really evaluate them. trust me, noobody really cares how you dance or what you say, unless u are speeaking or danceing FOR a crowed

Answer 2

Saying you are shy is a blanket statement for what you are really feeling, which is fear of being ridiculed because you "look stupid". The only way to conquer any fear is to confront it because avoidance only increases the fear. Start out by dancing in the mirror daily and watching some music videos just to start becoming comfortable. Next bop your head and 'dance' while sitting in the car listening to music. Last the next time an opportunity presents itself for you to publicly dance, make sure it's a song you are really familiar with, and do the dance steps you have been doing in the mirror that you were most sure had some Chris Brown appeal without making a spectacle of yourself. Relax! No one is watching you unless you are moonwalking and doing the robot!

Ya gotta jump in a move a little. Start small. Honestly, most guys look like dorks when dancing, and women find it kinda cute. We appreciate the effort. Stop caring about what others think. This self concern you're feeling is usually felt by everyone around you also! (they're more worried about themselves, not you) Let go, have fun! In the end that's all that matters!

Good luck...see ya at a concert headbanging soon!

Join an African percussion class, you will overcome the fear of working with people.In drumming class, you will learn how to be on the beat, self confidence and learn how to respond to rhythms. When you graduate from here, then you can move into a dance club and learn basic dance steps to impress everyone. Do you live in NYC, check out the site under the reference section.
