How do i overcome my shyness?

Question

i just broke up with my girlfriend and she said it was because i was to shy i need to overcome the shyness please help me

Answer 1

I have the same problem. I'm realy shy too, but at least you got a gf with your shyness. I'm not that lucky lol. Well all I could say is just try new things and forget about what other ppl think of you. Life is short, stop worrying.

I too should put this into practice but its easier said than done.

Answer 2

get involved with things that interest you

your shyness is prob only temporary

and you are meant to do other things

and meet other people

sometimes what we perceive as faults or others do

lead us to the best things and people in our life

that is all I can say

and when you get to somewhere dif in your life you will have other faults but maybe not this one of shyness

so move on and forget this  

Answer 3

shyness, is a fancy way of saying you're afraid.

i'm not trying to be mean, but that's what it is. shyness is just fear.

you have to overcome the fear.

the only way to do that, is to just do it. that's really it. you can do mental exercises to help, but the best way is to go to the mall and walk around telling everyone "hi" as you walk by. you have to be bold about it from the get-go and it will become really easy, really fast.

just walk around, look people in the eye and say "hey" or "hi" or "hello" or "what's up" or "whaddup" or whatever fits. do it with a smile.

some people will give you wierd looks, rude looks, smiles, and some will stop and start a conversation with you.

i did this once and now i'm 1000 times more comfortable talking with random people that i don't know.

give it a whirl and good luck!
