We all are shy at times. We all want and need to be accepted. No one wants to be embarrassed or made fun of in social or work environment. Especially from strangers or the opposite sex.

First admit your shy. Realize the benefits of conquering this self defeating behavior. Overcoming shyness, like anything, can be mastered. Avoiding shyness will only make it worse.

Remember the first restaurant you ate at? You were nervous. The waiters, the attention and everyone looking at you. Then after many other dinners out, you got used to it. Things got better. This is what this small mini course will teach you. We’ll start small and work up from there.

Let’s start by interacting with people we don’t know and will never have to see again. People that are there to help you with a project. These folks will not judge you. Don’t start with the person you are smitten over, that will come later. Guys you start at The Home Depot and girls you hit the Mall.

First step. Put on your Sunday best and get to the store. You are scanning for ways to help people. Open the door for some one in a wheel chair, pick up something for someone that fell on the floor. People will commend you and smile. You have placed yourself in an admirable position.

Take this opportunity to talk with these people for they will judge you positively. A charity or soup kitchen is also a great venue to tackle your shyness. This pools confidence inside you and allows you to move to the next step. You will no longer be petrified talking to a stranger.

Second step. Go to your favorite store and find someone of opposite sex and same age. Ask them if they will help you find a gift for your Mom. This might be nerve racking but you can do it. These people are not out to judge your shyness.

Practice this over and over. every time increase your words and increase your eye contact. soon you will find that your shyness soon melts away. You are now approaching people in environments that you can control.

Last step. Now go to a stranger at the mall and ask when the mall closes. He or she should be the opposite sex and same age. Remember this is not a sexual advance. You are just making a little bit of chit chat with some eye contact. you’ll be amazed at how friendly people really are. Pat yourself on the back because you just engaged a total stranger.

Whoa! you just crushed your shyness
