Overcoming(克服) shyness is not impossible. The following steps may be helpful.

Step 1

Overcoming shyness is mainly a case of mind over matter. If you’re afraid to do it, you will get much shyer when doing it. The more you came to talk with people, the easier it will become. You may also find that it’s not as difficult as you thought anyway. Just talk to people a little more every day.

Step 2

It sometimes helps to try to imagine you as another person. Think about this: Do you get shy when someone else walks up to talk to another? Of course you don’t. Think of yourself as just another somebody else and it’ll make it a little easier.

Step 3

Dress to impress. The better you look, the more confident you’ll feel. Feeling good about your appearance can greatly reduce shyness.

Step 4

If you’re up on stage try to imagine that you’re somewhere else. Maybe in your own comfortable living room. Tell yourself that the people in the audience are really no big deal. They’re ONLY people.
