how did you overcome your shyness?

- Alcohol

- Barbershop quartets

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.
