how did you overcome your shyness?

[the_only_sepe]

I have come a very long way, I am alot better than in the past, but I am still not as outgoing as I wish to be, I have allways been a real laid back kinda passive person, not loud and obnoxious, I put my self in social situations, (working the door at club) just so I can better my socializing skills, if anyone has any tips or something they have used in the past please share it.

THANKS IN ADVANCE,
TOS

Liquor=liquid confidence

More than anything, confidence is just being comfortable in your own skin, something rather difficult for us bodybuilding types, but just keep at it, it'll only get easier.

I decided one day that I just plain didn't give a damn what others thought of me. So now I say whatever's on my mind and am really outgoing and chatty.

Turn your shyness into to a "quiet cool." Think James Dean. It is all in the eyes. Always look at people in two ways: I wanna kick your ass, or I wanna f the s outta you. Surprisingly, it does work.

(This technique does not work on someone you are related to. It is designed for people you do not know.)

Or you can drink yourself into an oblivion, that is what I do.

I've overcome a lot of my shyness. I used to be so shy. College and my best friend that I met when I came to college helped me to overcome that shyness. I have no problem now being totally blunt and voicing my opinion. The only time I am shy now is when it comes to a guy I like. I have no problem flirting or hitting on a guy. But if it is someone I have feelings for, then I can't be open like that. Unless I am dating the guy, then that shyness is gone. It's just that period before dating that I am shy in.

Drove you to screaming in public?

Mimes have the same effect on me. Last week was the anniversary of Marcel Marceau's birthday or death or vow of silence or something. Why can't all the invisible-flower-picking mimes die?

Well getting out and making myself meet new people (like joining a fraternity, other things) greatly improved me, Im still shy thouhg...However when Ive put back a few drinks Im the least shy person ever, Im one of the types that wants to be buddy buddy with everyone, its wierd...gear also induces this whole confidence boost and always am a lot less shy on a cycle..thats about it

Going into sales got rid of my shyness. I've been out for years now and my shyness is back.

Actually...I talk to everyone like I've known them for 20 years. Except for girls I like. I have to work at keeping eye contact with them let alone more than that.

The guys are right about alcohol. I bought a couple codeine tabs and found myself dancing for no reason at all.

Just start talking to people...practice makes perfect.
