Answer 3

yes a therapist can help you with that.

Answer 4

yeah,

But somewhere in your heart, You'll still be shy and quiet.

I mean, I'm outgoing and talkative at times, but i'm also so shy and quiet.

it just depends on how i feel that day.

Answer 5

Yes, definatly.

What's making you shy is your mind set, however you can change your mindset - it's not a permanent thing and can change by itself over time.

It's sad how many people don't think you can change yourself. Your life is in your hands. You controle everything about yourself, from your personality to how you feel (even though it doesn't seem like you do, but if you understand about it you can controle it) If it doesn't come 'naturally' to you that you start to change for how you want, then you can change it. But you have to learn how to do it, and most importantly believe you can. It will be hard because it's not your nature, but you can change.

Answer 6

Only if it's in your nature to do so.

Answer 7

I think different circumstances allow different sides of you to come out, however, your nature is usually consistent throughout your life.  I'm a pretty shy and quiet person.  I have talkative moments, but I'm generally quiet by nature.

Answer 8

Absolutely....with training most people can be changed to what they want to be , however they must want to be changed can't be done from the outside ....

Reminds me of the joke .....

Answer     only ONE......but the globe has to want to be changed...

Answer 9
