Modesty adorns a person. But sometimes excessive shyness interferes with achieving results and delivers only discomfort. However, getting rid of it is not so difficult if you make an effort. Having worked on yourself, you will see that you can be educated, but at the same time not suffer from self-doubt.
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze your behavior. Observe your actions and try to identify in which situations your shyness manifests itself most often. Perhaps you start to feel embarrassed at a certain point or when communicating with a specific person? Think about how long ago your modesty began to cause discomfort. Whether it has always been or has appeared relatively recently.
Step 2
Determine what kind of person you would like to become. How do you see yourself when you get rid of shyness. Maybe there is not such a big gap between the present and the desired image, and in order to achieve your ideal, you need to put very little effort.
Step 3
Develop a sense of humor. Learn to laugh at yourself. If you are sensitive to jokes in your direction, it only aggravates the situation and makes you even more closed person. Having learned to be easy about jokes on yourself, you can be proud - you have come half way.
Step 4
Take an example from people whose self-confidence you admire. Pay attention to how they communicate with strangers, what they say. Think about why you cannot behave the same way. Perhaps you just did not try to choose a different form of behavior. Start small, control your words, do not allow yourself to abandon opinions and preferences - so others will understand that you also need to be reckoned with.
Step 5
Train your self-confidence. Challenge yourself to do some exercises that will help you get rid of shyness. For example, force yourself to approach passers-by and ask them for directions to a landmark. The more you interact with strangers, the less you will be afraid of it. Stand in front of the mirror and practice confident facial expressions and postures. Make new acquaintances. Perhaps these exercises will not only help you become more confident, but also help you make new friends. Believe in yourself and you will be able to become a new person.
