My Shyness.

I’m simple person; I love to laugh and enjoy life. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. But sometimes I have a big problem-shyness.
Shyness keeps me from getting the things I want out of life. I feel shyness taking over in certain situation, such as a job interview or a particular classroom.

Lately I have read an article; there are many techniques that might help me combat my shyness. But the first step is very hard and invariably the same: a sudden decision to change. That means I should force myself to become more active. I know I can’t change my shyness, but I can change the way I feel about myself as a result of being shy.

The second step that I found in the article is I should become less self-critical. For example, I always think:” If I talk to someone I will say the wrong things and embarrass myself, then is better not say anything at all.” But according to that article I know that then more practice I get speaking, the better I will get at speaking to others. The other technique I should use is giving myself compliments instead of telling myself negative messages. For example instead telling myself:” I don’t know what say, I’m not interesting.” or “ I don’t know how to say; I’m not that smart.” I should tell myself a compliment:” I’m an interesting person, I know a lot about…”

In other words, I ought to change my beliefs.
Futhermore advise is speaking louder, looking people right in the eyes, and remember that I’m responsible for fifty percent of my conversation, can help me take over my shyness.

According to the article I know I should decide to free myself from shyness, and there is much advice how to do it. Now I believe I can change my behavior, because if I believe I’m shy, then that belief will affect way of my life.
The moral is one; there is really nothing that can limit what I want, and nothing is beyond my hands.
