#beating shyness

Another blog topic :)

Shyness. It's a tough one, right? We all change slightly depending on the people we are with. Shyness is usually apparent when meeting new people, especially within a situation like a formal dinner.

So how do you get your confidence up?

Before I went to uni, I struggled with meeting new people. I didn't know what to say, I avoided eye contact and kept quiet. Since being away from home properly for the first time, I have discovered that the only way to overcome shyness is to start appreciating yourself. It's very cheesy, but loving yourself is pretty much the only way to battle it. I think we keep quiet because we might be ashamed of certain personality traits we have; we worry people won't like us, we worry we'll choke on what we're drinking and everybody will laugh.

If you accept that you are not perfect, but there are awesome things about you, things get easier. For the first time in my life, I can be myself around my friends here. Over a period of a few months, I realised that my confidence has shot up without me even realising it. Of course, this isn't just down to me - it's down to the wonderful people I've met, too.. BUT I wouldn't have met them if I didn't make the effort in the first place.

I know I have faults: I have a temper, I get bored and moody when my best friend shops for too long etc. But that's alright. I speak my mind now. If I feel there's something wrong or something to be improved, I will nearly always say it. That's a big help in beating shyness. Just start talking and those who are your real friends won't mind what you say. In fact, they'll love you for it.

I dunno, maybe I've just been incredibly lucky in finding a group of friends who seem to like me for who I am. I've never really had that before.

I've put together a few of the ideas that made me  go from suffering from shyness to being an extrovert.  It wasn't a simple process, however being shy is like a disorder that holds you back from all the good that a life without shyness can treat you to, consequently I consider it extremely  thoroughly.

Individuals often catch the shy bug in youth when it's easy to  make blunders during learning and create a shy persona to avoid feeling embarrassed.
