    We will all probably know both some introverts (内向的人) and extroverts (外向的人) in life, and yet we can gain a wrong impression about both types of people. For example, some introverts can be extremely confident and they can be able people. However, some extroverts aren't as confident as they'd like to appear to be and often try to hide their true identities behind a false appearance.

    Shyness can affect both introverts and extroverts and anybody else too. It can be very debilitating (使衰弱的) and, if severe, can have a huge negative influence upon our ability to form meaningful relationships and it can also affect our careers or jobs.

    A lot of people feel shy because they have low self-respect and feel unworthy when comparing themselves to others. They find it difficult to communicate with others whom they don't know. In that case, one of the best ways of overcoming the shyness is to focus the attention on the other person instead. Shy people can try changing people's focus on someone else, so that they don't need to talk about themselves too much.

    If you recognize that you are shy and see that as a lion in the way of enjoying your life. you should first overcome it by accepting that it's causing a problem for you. Trying getting into conversations with strangers is helpful. Shy people are challenging themselves and over- coming their shyness. In this way, shy people can get their own self-respect. Each time they do it, this will be repeated until they feel confident enough.

    Like any negative thought, determination can also help you beat shyness and having a positive attitude is the key to overcoming the shyness.
