I am from Egypt, living in Canada. All the girls in my class are making fun of me cause I am damm SHY and for my poor English. So whats the cure for shyness?
There is no cure, its about stepping over your fears and just going for it. But i think you got some bad luck, because usually girls from canada love foriegn accents
Do something extremely embarrassing. That way, nothing could ever match up to it. DaveGamer_05
Honestly, that's the best advice so far. I think it's the best advice period. I've always been extremely shy in some form but lately I've started doing things some would consider embarrassing. It helps to try not caring about everything as much and just doing whatever you want.
I still have certain problems like getting nervous all the time sometimes for no reason. I have a sweating problem that most likely developed from it and basically no matter what even when it's freezing out I sweat from my underarms but only there. I don't sweat anywhere else really. It's weird and bothers me a lot; I've looked for a solution to it for a while now but no luck. I have to wear layers or sweaters all the time because it's the only thing that helps by at least hiding it while unfortunately making it a bit worse probably. If anyone has any advice that they think will help I'd really appreciate it. (Yes, I wear deodorant/antiperspirant. I'm 17 so it's not as if I just hit puberty and am learning about that kind of thing.)
lmfao!!!1!!!!!!! i know what u mean. well actaually i dont but i hav a m8 who is extremly shy its actually embarissing 2 be with him sometimes he is that shy.
If you want people to respect you, respect yourself, that's what I did. I started eating healthy, stopped doing the, you know........ Self pleasure. Stopped looking at, you know.....The stuff that assists that. And started to get exercise. If you're too shy around people, in reality, you're not happy with yourself for whatever reason, and you need to respect yourself to give you some confidence, rather than getting others to try and respect what you clearly don't. Try to better yourself, so you feel better about yourself, which in turn will mean you will not be worried as much of what others feel about you, since you feel so good about yourself, you might assume they will be happy with you. That's why people don't ask out beautiful women a lot, they're not confident that they are worthy. First, you need to be worthy to your own standards, and stop trying to make others standards, when you haven't made it up to your standards. For people to be happy with you, you must already be happy of who you are. It's kind of like I said with a beautiful woman, if they look in the mirror and aren't happy with themselves, they aren't going to be with that beautiful woman anytime soon. You need to be happy with yourself, before trying to make others happy. Assuming that's why you are shy, otherwise, I don't see why you would be afraid to interact, if you made the assumption they would think you are some uber cool dude. And I just used looks as an example, it can be anything. Anything you aren't proud/happy of, you might be too afraid to show. Which in turn will make you shy, because being shy lacks interaction, and the lack of interaction is the lack showing who you are.
make sure to be confident but being reserved isn't a bad thing. You'll find that the people who actually take the time to talk to you are the ones you'll want to be friends with. Being loud and boisterous will attract a lot of "unwanteds". I know when I came to my new high school I didn't approach hardly anyone but, when people engaged me in a conversation I was attentive and so far I've managed to surround myself with some pretty good friends so far.
Suicide? Fire? Fred Durst?? You see all those posts? That is why you don't come to Gamespot users for help on self-confidence and girls. The easy answer is if those girls don't like you then teriffic who cares, what makes them so damn special that you need their acceptance? Self confidence comes with time, but just keep telling yourself you don't need any of those idiots. Oh and by the way there are social anxiety (shyness) medications, don't do that. Don't even go there. And to the guy above me, we can tell you're American, just look at your sig. :P jp don't hurt me!
Look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself "I'm a stud muffin." a lot. Eventually, you'll start to believe it... and then you'll be a stud muffin for all anybody cares.
