Stop Being Shy! - how to get on the road to tackling shyness
If you want to stop being shy, it can seem a daunting challenge. Genuinely shy people know that being told to "pull yourself together" or other such nonsense is no type of long term solution to the problem. There are, though, some ways to try and limit the effects of your nerves and anxiety if you really do want to stop being shy.
One technique certainly worth trying is visualisation. Sports people often use this just before big occasions - how often have you seen athletes and others with their eyes focused, in a world of their own as they rehearse how their big moment will go time and time again. Planting the idea of a successful conversation with someone, or a bold handshake, or confident initial steps in the mind can help. At the very least, it gives you a good mindset for whatever social challenge you have ahead.
Another thing worth trying is looking to build your social skills in slightly "artificial" settings. In otherwords, things were two people are thrown together not through choice. For example, when you are at a shop and you go to pay for your goods, you meet a cashier. They will often try and engage you in converation these days anyway, like it or not. So take that opportunity. If you don't feel comfortable, the two of you are soon forced to part company and you don't have to see the cashier again for some time. Good encounters here will boost your confidence as you try to stop being shy. Less successful ones are over quickly and you can feel less worried that friendships, or a reputation will be damaged.
A final thing to consider might be arming yourself with specific topics you know you can talk about. A little background on reading on something can give you enough knowledge to make an informed comment on something, without being perceived as a bore or a nerd. Arming yourself like this is also good for confidence.
These techniques are all ways to help you along the road to stop being shy - tackling shyness will also require other long term steps too.
If you want help as you try to stop being shy then its well worth checking out new, revolutionary, advice on tackling shyness from qualified psychologists.
