shyness????

Question

if someone is REALLY shy, what is the best way to get over it?

Answer 1

Do it in small steps, a little bit at a time. For example. A first step may be to just simply try and smile at people you do not know.
Once you feel more comfortqable doing that, the next step could be to smile, then say, "Hi," to everyone you meet.
Later, in addtion to just saying Hi, you can add something to it like, "The weather is hot today."
The point is, that you can build up from your shyness by doing just a little bit more each day and working to over come the shyness a little at a time.
Final word. Shyness is not a bad thing. Howver, anyone can learn to be more open with their thoughts and feelings and learn to share more of themeselves to others.

Answer 2

I'm shy too and I've found that you can't necessarily "get over it" cause the feeling will always be there, but there are great ways to deal with those feelings of insecurity. Get involved in something that forces you to perform in front of other people. If you're not into acting try music. Recitals have helped in my situation. Just remember that most people have some degree of shyness and that you're not alone in this.

Answer 3

There is no way to get over shyness. You or who ever will become a social outcast. The best way is to go to places where you might meet people that have similar interests as you; like, a book store, or so kind of club. It's a tuff thing and I wish you luck.

Answer 4

I don't know if you can fully get over it as it is part of who you are.

I'm painfully shy and threw my self into the deep end 2 years ago my going to university 150miles from home and knowing I cold only go home during the holidays, between that, counseling (because my work was suffering) and having to deal with strangers everyday as part of my course, my shyness has reduced but it raises it's head when I am in new ans strange environments.

Answer 5

Just by saying hi and how u doing to strangers. That can somewhat break your shyness alittle bit. And im shy to but when i talk to some people i fell nervous but that breaks down little by little.

Answer 6

When I was younger, I was so painfully shy I couldn't even look at the waitress when ordering food. I got over it by just getting out there. Eventually I made friends, and that was when I really started to break down those barriers. Remember you have to get out there, because chances are no one is going to come looking for you.

Answer 7

I am a verrryyyy shy person myself. I overcome it by just being myself with my friends and acting crazy, not caring what other people think. I think you shouldnt care what people think of you because in the long run, they don't know what theyre missing out on. People who look at you like your wierd don't know the meaning to life and dotn know how to have a good time, obviously. And also, when your acting crazy and wild around people you don't know, WHO CARES!? What's the worst they can do? think about it.

Answer 8

The best way to have someone communicate with u is to keep trying to talk to him or her, they will talk to you more and more... They really need to feel secure around a person and learn that this person is really a nice person... It will take a while, but it will happen...

Good Luck!!

Answer 9

Try and hang around with people who aren't shy at all and maybe their behavior will catch on.

Answer 10

Just by saying Hello to strangers is a good start.
