I know, you might have come across a shy person if not once but twice or more than. and you can confirm it's a really bad scenario to be in the shoes of a shy person, cause it's really a face palm situation. cause i myself is a shy person and i know what it feels to be shy.
So guys, what is the best way to deal with shyness.🙁
Shy people are often highly critical of themselves and their inner dialogue can be very harsh and include things they would never say to other people. When you judge yourself harshly, you are more likely to assume that others will judge you in the same way. Your inner critic can cause a lot of emotional damage, robbing you of peace of mind and self-esteem.
The best way to defeat the critic is to have an even stronger ally on your side—an inner voice that acts as your own best friend. Start noticing the good things about yourself and learn to "talk back" to your inner critic. When the critic starts to blame you for being fearful, remember that there is not a single person who enjoys rejection, yet somehow we all manage to survive it. When your inner critic starts to tell you that no one will ever like you, remind yourself that you liking you is what matters most. By learning to talk to yourself in a kinder gentler way, social situations won’t hold as much power to hurt you because you won’t be punishing yourself.
I used to be timid in front of people I don't know very well. My father said that I have no self confidence. When I graduated from college, that started it all. Little by little, I was developing self confidence. And when I got a job, my shyness was banished. It was just focusing on my achievements and that can eclipse the shyness. Now i have the confidence to talk to anybody.
Well, I personally booted shyness rather quickly, by just being in situations where I could listen to people at busy locations. Sooner or later some of them actually became pretty good friends, just because I was standing there, and they got curious enough to start talking to me.
