    I am even worried to talk to my own brother. It's really stressful to even meet one person. Also the smallest word can hurt me please help.

    Try going out with your close friends and meet their friends too. Cooperate with them with their activities and possibly volunteer on some of the tasks.

    I'm also shy, but lately I've become quite annoyed by it and started to tell myself "Just do it! Other's do it, it can't be that bad!" Also, go to the gym or some place else where you meet lots of foreign people (it's inevitable)... you'll obtain used to them. Or obtain the groceries more often.

    I used to be just like this when I was at school (I have no idea how old you're sorry :S) I just grew out of it and really I think that's the only way.



    Find one thing you like about yourself and repeat it and repeat it then make the the bulk of it.



    It will come eventually

    Excercise helps a bit. Short of therapy the only thing to try is amking yourself talk to people.

    You have two options, you could force yourself to come out of your shell, or be lonely and miserable the rest of your life, and the latter is no technique to survive life.

    See shyness, and social anxiety, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on page 9, and practise daily, one of the relaxation processes on pages 2, 11, or 2C. Build your self esteem/confidence, (page 3 as well, then such words will have less of an effect on you (they are just vibrations in the air: you select to disturbed yourself over them: you have the power not to!).

    your confidence will grow as you obtain older...most of us were a bit bashful/shy when we were younger. try to relax more...that might help.

    I know how you feel. I was pretty shy too, but shedding off quite a bit of it. What you do is socialise more, go out more often, and encouragement from peers or those older can help. It was mostly thanks to my teachers I could overcome my shyness.



    Good luck! That's necessary too!

    I'm not certainly if I'm much aid because I'm extremely shy myself. but - I've been reading a book called "Goodbye to Shy" by liel lowndes or something like that - and it's helpful.

    but not that much. I still have many of trouble. I think the only thing that can aid us obtain past this is to keep trying and the more we try the more confidence we get. What's helped me is to not assume everyone doesn't like us just because of one person. I was withdrawing from everyone because of what one person said and now I realize that just wasn't fair to the others. It's very hard. I can aid you once I figure out how to aid myself. take advice you obtain from people who have not been there with a grain of salt. Some people never have trouble with this and they don't understand. Part of it's your personality, how you were made. I think what we do is we assume people don't like us when everything is going fine. Maybe things aren't going to our expectations,but they aren't concious of anything wrong at all. I think we tend to think technique too much about it, and I notice other people don't think much at all the bulk of the time. Hopefully you could find other people who have been very shy and who can aid you. I am not claiming to be of any aid because I"m still very shy but I'm doing radically better. I have had a lifetime of bad social experiences, I'm still not really doing that well. I keep falling on my face. But bear in mind it isn't how a lot times you obtain knocked down - it's how a lot times you GET BACK UP that counts. Fake it till youmake it - keep trying the more you try and the the bulk successful you're the more confidence you'll have. I don't feel very entitled to aid you - but I hope I did. take care.



    Jack Benny was extremely shy (comedian) and performing helped him to overcome his shyness apparently. According to his biography by his daughter. That's why he carried his violin everywhere, it was like a security blanket or something. But he absolutely wasn't shy when he died, so he must have learned something along the way.



    learning comedy has been the the bulk helpful thing for me, it really does aid break the ice with new people, and when you beginning out with an apposite joke - it breaks the tension and everyone is more at ease if they like the joke..

    that is. It's been the #1 thing I know of that's helped me - my dad does that too and he's a monstrous introvert. He has all these jokes he uses with new people. They laugh and they are more at ease. but you have to use apposite jokes.. I don't use canned jokes, I come up with them on the fly - from what I learned from comedy writing books. I bought various - the comedy bible, the comedy toolbox, etc.



    But, if youa re a child you should be asking your parents this question.

    Force yourself to talk when around other people. Say anything, even if it's pointless.



    Call stores on the phone and ask if they have certain products, or for price information. That may sound silly, but you're talking to a person at that point, just not face-to-face.



    If you force yourself to talk you'll be extremely embarrased the first bunch of times, but ultimately you'll stop caring. You'll find yourself having something to say more often.

    Well, theres not a lot you could do, you can't observe your doctor because your shy, you cant observe a physciatrist because your shy and with the highest level of courage you could possibly bottle up,



    , youve managed to ask a load of people online who probaby aren't trained in medicine. Do what you will, theres not much but it might not be worth the bother.

    Shyness is something that we select to behave when a situation calls for it. You are limiting yourself from something that you would like to do. But there are methods to overcome such behavior like being with others doing fun activities, and never limit yourself to share your opinions with others, meaning you have to explore the endless possibilities that you could become or you could achieve in life. Never be afraid to take risk of whatever you want to say or do. AFRAID that is the word that leads us to becoming shy, it's not easy to survive without taking any consequence for every actions that we tend express or say. What matter the bulk it aid us become what we are now. The idea is to be BRAVE.



    I am quite a shy guy before, but I ultimately made myself better than the normal me by becoming busy, meeting other people and talking with people due to my job as a call center agent in a call center. At first, I cosidered I can never be a successful agent, to talk with other people over the phone because I am shy, but since, the job calls for it to talk and interact with them, offer something and obtain acquainted with my co-employees, go out and have fun during team building, that shyness became something that I am in the past. I hope this advice can aid you, overcome or even perfectly eradicate in your life.

    A long while ago I had a problem and was given this advice by a therapist.

    When you're cleaning your teeth look in the mirror and just say to yourself "I am okay" - oddly it slowly helped to build self confidence and once I felt more comfortable with myself I was more comfortable with other people.



    Good Luck!

    There are lots of shy people on http://www.ofear.com that have found chatting to other helps them very much. They are among people that comprehend what they are going via and what they feel so maybe you can try chatting with people there as a start.
