How to overcome shyness

ya shyness becomes a crippling disability in extreme forms.but it can be easily countered i suppose with little practice.i would a live example of that. i used to be so shy in my childhood that if any neighbours or some aquaintainces poured in i would lock myself up in my room and never so up.i never used to interact much with my schoolmates.but i have changed myself completely.now i take lectures for 50-100 students,address moderate group of people,perform stage anchorings.all my school and college friends happen to get shocked with the transformation they see in me.

I don't agree with you, sorry. I don't think shyness is a "disorder" as you said; it's a personality trait. I don't think there's anything wrong with being shy. Then again, though, there are plenty of people who are shy but tell brilliant speeches and have no trouble with anxiety. It depends on the person in particular.

Well i was a way too shy person when i was young now i am somewhat fine, you can say to some extent may be.But i could not stop being an introvert and EMO types because even now i fear from people, i like to be away from common groups, i dont talk much to outsiders and not much close ones.Frankly speaking i can give a well mannered speech to some extent but i cannot be open to anyone.

I am definitely a shy person. My face could easily tell others about it. I easily get blush over nothing. I am not sure that shyness is consider a disorder or an illness, but I simply feeling not good when others staring at my bright red face. I had a very low confident before I meet my husband. I always try to hide so people don't see me so red. It is so embarrasing!

shyness to the nth power! extremity if that's what u were pertaining to. it becomes disorder. i can be shy sometimes, depending on the circumstances im facing with. i also experienced stuttering in front of the crowd because of that shyness. :)

well i think most people will get over the shyness if they share a considerable amount of time with som1 they used to be shy from

I used to be a very shy person when I was younger. I can not speak infront of an audience, there are times that I am trembling and can't really deliver the report that I need to present infront of a class or an audience. I used to have a very low self-esteem which was the reason of my shyness before. Shy people usually can't get a good job and don't receive either a raise in salary or a promotion in a job as I have observed with some friends who are very shy. I took up personality development course which boosts my self-confidence. I am very confident now. I am not shy speaking infront of a crowd, I can even sing well. I am not shy during picture takings. I can express myself with everybody. I am glad that I have overcome my shyness.

I was very shy earlier. But my shyness has reduced a bit after i joined my job. I am in my job for 5 years. so there is need to talk with people, communicate . so It has considerably reduced. I guess it is attached with human nature.It is not any disease.

this question is also there in my mind.because i am also having the same problem.whenever i am facing people i feel very shy and i am not getting enough words to talk.but when i am with my friends never feels shyness.

if you experience more the shyness will disappear . so just try and you will find that's not a big deal

Yes,I was shy when I was a kid.To overcome the difficulty I think you should try to contact with new people and new things as much as possible.It's a challenge for you maybe,but through get familiar with new things,you could know more about the things around you,and the next time you won't be so shy.

You are just point to me that I am a shy person. When I come into a room and find many strangers there,I will fell very uncomfortable.At this time,if you ask me to have a speech before such strangers,maybe may face will turn red and have a shy right now. This is the real myself and I want to make a perfect in this point and become much bolding in our dairy life.

Be brave,and talk in front of many people..practise and it will be fine.Or when you feel shy,just think I like loosing face,so it will be better.

When I was a child i was really2x shy kinda person. I remember one time that I really like to join in a play but because of my shyness I did not join. And when in college I realize that it was time to overcome it and I got to do something about it.

Hello my friend rajupaul Ji, Shyness is an emotion that affects how a person feels and behaves around others. Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious, nervous, bashful, timid, or insecure. People who feel shy sometimes notice physical sensations like blushing or feeling speechless, shaky, or breathless. Shyness is the opposite of being at ease with yourself around others. When people feel shy, they might hesitate to say or do something because they're feeling unsure of themselves and they're not ready to be noticed. My hubby has his great experience in his life, when he had to face as an Instructor in one of the Traing Centre. His mouth was chocked and he could never speak. he had a fear of facing audiance. May God bless You an dhave a great time.

Hell Raju, I think that shyness is something that comes from an inability of having been in public situations. I experienced quite a great deal throughout my childhood but today everybody tell me that they wouldn't have never thought that at one time I was shy. So I guess it is something that we can grow out of but it's also something that we must constantly work at in order to completely overcome. I tend to use prayer as a great form of helping me to break out of it. Here is a great affirmation that helps. " For God hasn't given me the spirit of fear/shyness but of love, courage and a strong mind".Upon looking at this scripture the other day, I realized something, this one scripture alone can cover a whole range of problems that we human beings confront in life, imagine that? Take care my friend and have a nice day!

I am known shy person. I guess it originates from the lack of self-confidence. And another thing, I am not exposed to people. I like to be private and spend most of the time myself. I do not think it is a disease. It is just that some people are gregarious while others are not.

Every person out in the world is totally different,may be in terms of their attitude,their smartness,behavior and well some features that one find difficulty involves shyness and a slight bit of hesitation in doing or showing his/her emotions anywhere. This is not at all an illness as suggested by you.The way one feels his/her whole body language is or the misconception of themselves as not that good or efficient makes one feel shy and never come up with the extraordinary talents or thoughts that he/she has.A lot of motification is needed by all associated with the person. I don't say I'm a person with out shy feeling but I myself try to make up my mind with at least the qualities that I have.

I am not shy. I think if anyone is shy they should just say to themselves, "Everyone else is just as nice as I am." Then they will see everyone as nice and not be aftaid.
