how can i overcome my shyness?

Answer 1

According to Canada’s Toronto Star, “about 13 per cent of adults suffer from extreme shyness.” The newspaper reports that this “prevents them from leading full lives.” Experts cited tips for overcoming shyness: “Think of conversation starters from news events, magazine articles, books, hobbies or movies.” “Practise verbal and non-verbal communications skills, including making eye contact [and] active listening.” “Force yourself to do things you fear.” “If you’re a parent of a shy child, it’s important that you provide plenty of opportunities for your youngster to socialize.” The encouragement was not to give up, for experience shows that the more one tries to overcome shyness, the easier it gets.

Answer 2

Is it shyness with everyone or just with the opposite sex? Well, it doesn't matter, really... Start small. Say "hello". Hang out with people with whom you share an interest, and conversations will follow. If you're into collecting things or playing games or sports or whatever, then you have plenty of things in common. Just take a deep breath, relax, and begin talking. Remember to ask questions...let the other person talk. You don't want to become the opposite of shy! Shy is much better than an annoying person who just talks and talks!
Good Luck!
