Shyness can have a huge effect on your life. The tips below can help overcome your shyness and improve your life very much!
Make eye contact with everyone you talk to. It is so easy to look at the floor, the ceiling, anywhere but into the other person's eyes. Looking directly at someone makes them see you in a different light. If they think you are confident, you will become more confident! If you find it really hard, look just above the eyes, and they will never know.
Start a conversation with a new person every day. Think of four or five things you could start a conversation with and then find at least one opportunity each day to talk to a new person. Just exchanging a few words will get you used to talking to new people and you can gradually deal with it well as your confidence grows. Asking people something about themselves is often a good opener as it encourages them to talk!
Your body language has a huge effect on both how you feel and how other people think of you. Walk around your home or garden as if you are the most important person in the world. Then go out and continue that; you are really the most important person in the world.
In a word, never give up, keep practising and soon you will be a different person. You need to take action to increase your confidence and beat shyness.
