You may also think that people are going to judge you or think that you are weak or dishonest by blushing or sweating. Most likely, others just see you as being shy or nervous. Sometimes breathing can help to reduce the symptoms of blushing. See the article on Relaxation for information on breathing techniques. You can also check out our article on Developing Coping Strategies. It can be really useful to talk to someone if you feel that your shyness is keeping you from doing things that you want to do.
You may want to consider talking to your family, friends or counselor about it. Here are some tips that can help you start overcoming your shyness:. Prepare a topic for conversation. Thinking about what you might talk about with new people can really help the conversation and any awkward feelings.
It helps to pick a topic that you know a lot about and feel confident about. Smile and be friendly. You are more likely to be friendly to someone who smiles at you, so try it yourself. Opening yourself up to people can make them feel more comfortable and more likely to be friendly in response.
Practice social skills. Start practicing your social skills one at a time. Once you feel comfortable with that, you can move onto something else—like trying to hold eye contact during a conversation. Worse case scenarios.
It may help to run through some of the worst things that could happen, so you can learn how to handle stumbling over your words when giving a class presentation or dropping your drink at a party. Thinking about some of the worst scenarios that you could come across may help you realize that they might not be as bad as you initially thought and would also prepare you for these situations if they were to happen.
In case something embarrassing does happen, humor is a great way to release the awkward energy. Instead of taking something seriously, allow it to happen and laugh about it. And what's worse, risk and rejection become something to avoid at all costs. A habit is formed. We close doors that may lead to opportunities and stop putting ourselves out there for other people to respond to. This fear of rejection is normal. Everyone shies away and has moments, or extended moments, of self-doubt.
But the fear is also a test, it means you are onto something and you should pay attention to it and not shy away. That fear is a good way to detect opportunities, but it can be easy to think we're too shy to make good use of them and find an excuse to avoid them. Like with any bad habit, you're not going to turn your diffidence into confidence in a couple of hours. Breaking a bad habit just involves forming a better one in its place, so make an effort every day to do something you'd otherwise avoid because you feel shy.
Live your pathetic, overly social life and stop worrying about shy people for a change! Like who the fuck cares if your having problems with your husband?
No one you stupid cunt! If you think that way then why did ya come across this article…. Omg obviously if someone is looking for an article about this, they are feeling down because of experiences caused by their shyness.
By shaming them further and focusing on the hinderance that shyness is, you just make them feel worse!!! You clearly have never had this, as you are completely oblivious to how you can hurt others with your arrogant views. You call shy people lazy. How do you know?

I am shy and yes, it has prevented me from experiencing a lot of good things and caused me a lot of pain. By labeling this trait as bad, you are doing harm. How about the loud, confident people actually took the time to allow shy people to open up and speak, rather than yabbering on about themselves to other self important asswipes. Geez, what a stupid, insensitive article.
Do you know people kill themselves due to negative views of themselves and bad social experiences and for being judged as not worth knowing. You could damage a vulnerable person by putting stuff like this out there.
