Overcome Shyness and Improve Self Confidence

[flowers09]

Hi. I know that a lot of people who are shy usually lack self confidence. They may hide from people, isolate themselves, stay quiet at parties and other social functions and have a hard time in relationships. It is sad when I hear that someone is shy because they feel that they are not good enough.
There are many reasons why someone can be shy. One big reason that I hear comes from being teased or bullied in school as a child or teenager. Sometimes people carry those bad feelings they felt when they were younger into adulthood. Don't let anyone have power over you. Take control of your life and live it as best as you can! I think if you build up your self confidence first, you will be able to overcome your shyness more.
Observe other people out there who are really outgoing. What would it take to be like that? It takes exposure and time. Getting over shyness and improving your self confidence requires taking baby steps. I've written two articles. One is on Ways to Over Shyness and the other is Tips on Improving your Self Confidence.

Thanks for these flowers. Your absolutely right. Exposure and time helps out big time. I think people freak out because they don't take baby steps and get caught up in their heads. I know that is what I have been struggling with at least.

I'm getting better, but it has taken a lot of work on my end. I did have to work on my confidence first flowers. I noticed that when you take steps to work on yourself, it seems everything else just start to fall into place. Once again, thank you for the articles.
