How Can I Break Out of My Shyness?
Answer:
Instead of worrying about your shyness, spend some time learning about the people you would like to know better. Having common knowledge will make it easier to break through the shyness because you may learn to enjoy the common interactive bond you have created. Try it . It might help!
Well eventually you might have a problem with not being able to look people in the eye. Some might interprete it as lieing so you might want to start working on it. you could work on your shyness by going up to random people and strike up a conversation with them and remember you will never see them agin so don't worry. If you are close to you brother spend some time with him tell him your problem and ask for his help. make of a situation pretend hes a stranger and talk to him just like you met him.
You need to look people in the eye when you talk to them it show respect. When you smile at someone it makes them feel good and they will think your being friendly towards them. I'm a people person so I always talk to everyone all the time.If you dress a certain way you feel really good about yourself and other people will take notice if that. Good Luck. Just take a deep breath and try to relax things will get better in time.
I have social anxiety and if I knew of a magic cure I would gladly share it with you. But I don't. It's an incredibly heavy burden to carry, especially when people misinterpret your behavior and think you're just rude. I've made many enemies over the years that probably could have been my friends under "normal" circumstances.
oh I thought I was really shy to others but your more shy to look at your family and people that you know I am only shy to people I don't know
I used to be kind of like that myself for most of my teen years. I wasn't just shy, I was terrified of having to talk to people I didn't know very well because I thought I always looked or sounded stupid. After a while, I went into counseling and was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, and that was a big relief because it made me feel that the problem wasn't me per se, it was just a condition that I had. Since then, I've been in therapy and on prescription medication for anxiety. The medication I'm on now works wonders for me and allows me to enjoy meeting and having conversations with new people.
Definitely get yourself into therapy. There are a lot of good psychologists and psychiatrists specifically trained to help people with your same symptoms (and since I don't know you, I can't say that you have Social Anxiety Disorder, but a counselor can help you get to the root of your shyness). Some of them can do home visits if it's too hard for you to go to their office or clinic, or they'll work out a plan to help you have a first visit with somebody. So I'd say get out a phonebook or look up online what therapists or psychology clinics are in your area ,and maybe you can send them an email or write them a letter if you don't want to talk to them over the phone.
Good luck with everything. Even though this problem might feel overwhelming right now, anxiety can be highly treatable if you're willing to put in the effort.
It's amazing how many websites on "overcoming shyness" [keywords] are out there. Wow. There is a lot of good advice in those articles, so I'm not going to repeat it here.
I was terribly shy when I was younger, and being part of a family that moved a lot did not help. I had to ask myself whether making friends or avoiding discomfort was more important to me.
Over time, and with a lot of the same tips I found when I did the search just now, I discovered that we are all imperfect, and that, frankly, people are usually so focused on themselves that they really don't notice your small flaws. I can't tell you the number of times I agonized over how ugly my dress was or how bad the haircut I got was and had no one even notice.
Of course, there were other times when people were hyper-critical of little things that I hadn't even considered. But when I thought about it, I started to look at and realized that it was either something that was worth changing, or it wasn't. And if it was, I mentally thanked them for pointing it out, and if it really wasn't, then I thanked them and threw the thought out the window.
And guess what? Once I stopped worrying about what people thought about me (the sun still rises whether I remember to brush my teeth or not), the more I could wear a smile on my face. And the more I could wear a smile on my face, the more people responded in a positive way.
I can't tell you how many friendships started simply because I swallowed that fear that sat like a rock in my belly and said "hi" anyway. Or how many times someone has told me that that they are glad that I said hi, because they were really feeling out of place without anyone to talk to.
Getting over shyness is a lengthy process - but experience helps. Keep practicing and it will get easier... eventually.
