Many times people who are shy often make other people uncomfortable because they appear standoffish, have problems making friends and many times miss out on opportunities. Overcoming shyness is not painful or frightening.

Creating mental pictures of behaviors and situations that you would like to be involved in is called visualization. You should daydream real life situations. You can imagine situations that are out of character for you. This will help you handle real life situations.

Writing a journal really helps because you can tell yourself to not be shy enough times that you will want to do something about it.

Maintaining eye contact is very important in overcoming shyness. No one will take you serious if you cannot make eye contact with them. You will make a person who you cannot make eye contact with feel they are not important enough for you to talk to and you don’t want to be there in the first place.

Do not do drugs or drink alcohol at a party or dinner. You might become a social butterfly for that night, however, it might make you enjoy it too much that you will get high or drunk during other situations which will only make the problem worse.

You always need to be yourself. You are who you are whether it is being a great talker or you stammer; it is still you. People enjoy you when you are yourself. Being yourself will help you get over your shyness.

Getting over your shyness may seem impossible right now, but with a little effort and the desire to be more outgoing with people, then you can definitely overcome shyness. It is important to know that the fears you feel when shyness hits you are typically always much worse than the reality of the situation.

Have you ever wanted to go up to someone and tell them they are beautiful or how well you like their outfit? On a daily basis you should go up to a total stranger and say something nice. You could compliment a pretty girl on her hair or a guy with his shirt. Try not to worry about what they say, just do it.
