Everyone feels shy from time to time. However, if shyness is a striking feature of your character, it is advisable to fight it. Otherwise, increased shyness and shyness can interfere with the implementation of many of your plans.
Instructions
Step 1
To combat shyness, first identify the cause. Perhaps you are not satisfied with your own appearance or are you embarrassed due to some kind of speech defect (for example, a slight stutter)? Or maybe the whole point is that you consider yourself not a very interesting interlocutor? Whatever the reason, all these problems are quite solvable. The easiest way is to change your appearance (update your wardrobe, visit a stylist, etc.). A specialist will help you cope with speech defects. And to find interesting topics for conversation, just take an interest in what is happening around more often and read more.
Step 2
If you are unable to identify a specific cause for your shyness, chances are your shyness is based on the fact that you used to think of yourself as shy. Try to overcome your shyness by “trying on” the image of a self-confident person. To get started, practice being more relaxed at home when no one sees you. Walk upright and importantly, speak loudly and firmly. Gradually, you will feel that you can behave in the same way around other people.
Step 3
To overcome shyness, you can use someone you know to be relaxed as an example. Pay attention to how this friend behaves in different situations. When you yourself find yourself in a similar situation, try to imitate his behavior.
Step 4
Shyness can be overcome with the help of almost opposite actions. Find someone among your acquaintances whom you find much more timid and shy than you. And then take "patronage" over him, that is, try to get rid of shyness. By helping him, you will be helping yourself.
Step 5
To finally deal with shyness, imagine the worst-case scenario every time you feel shy. Can you get rejected? Will they ignore you? Will they be rude to you? In the end, all this is not so scary, every person faces this. Refusal or even verbal rudeness did not cause much harm to anyone, which means that you will be able to survive it and live on.
