I want to know what is the easiest way to overcome shyness?

Question

I want to gain more self-confidence because it is required in my job right now. Thanks

Answer 1

This is a good question and something I am still overcoming.

I found spending time in the mirror (making goofy faces, practising speaking, anything like that) helps. You'll begin to feel more comfortable when you talk and more importantly, more confident.

All you need is a few people who find you genuinely interesting or funny (whatever your aiming for) and that will encourage you and definitely give you a huge boost.

Good luck and don't give up!

Answer 2

Relax and be yourself. Try to love what you have in you and not to look at others qualities that make you feel insecure.

Answer 3

No matter how uncomfortable it is, force yourself to make eye contact and initiate greeting as many people as you can in a day.  The more exposure you have, the more it lessens the discomfort.  I was extremely shy until I started work as a hairdresser.  You are not only forced to talk to people, but you also have to touch them (same as health care).  Good luck.

Answer 4

enroll in a personality development center

Answer 5

Immersion is one of the best ways to overcome shyness...

some examples may be to volunteer at a school and tell your life story, the highs and the lows and use it as an example for some middle school students to draw from your life...tell everything and then, you will feel the freedom one you "air" your life and, most importantly, realize that you didn't "die" from that...then, something remarkable happens, not only did you free yourself from this "bond" of self-imposed shyness...you also get a chance to help someone understand their life through yours giving certain perspectives about life...

good luck,

Answer 6

What does your shyness stem from? You first have to understand you. If it is caused because you don't know the job well enough then learn more, ask co-workers questions, and remember no one will question you unless you s***w up really badly.

Answer 7

be more sociable. talk to people more often. that's the most easiest and most practical way to ovrcome shyness.
