Many people, at the thought that they will have to speak in public or just before meeting new people, are confused, feel a tremor in the whole body or an increase in heart rate. Shyness and self-doubt can create barriers to socialization, and this, in turn, affects our lives in undesirable ways. How can you deal with this?
Shyness can be described as a feeling of discomfort in social situations. A shy person is usually focused on himself, on his own complexes, inner anxiety, unnecessary thoughts.
Being confident is the first step in overcoming shyness. Be proud of your talents and achievements - everyone has them. You may be surprised by this, but people are mostly busy with their own affairs, they have a lot of their own complexes, they are simply not interested in how you behave or how you look.
Learn to focus on what you can achieve and start working on yourself. This way you won't have time to think about how you look.
Learning to relax can help you find peace of mind in difficult situations. Breathing practices, meditation, and other similar exercises can help well.
Try to highlight situations in which you feel shy. It can be public speaking, dating, large groups of people. Make a list of these situations - it will help you work on yourself more effectively.
Build your confidence. Take yourself up to the mark. Do not try to compare yourself with others - believe me, they do the same and, just like you, think that they are worse than others in something. You are no worse - you just are not like that, and that's okay. All people are different.
Observe the behavior of confident people. In a similar situation, you can behave the same way.
And remember that shyness is not an innate quality, so it can be overcome.
