Question

Nearly everyone is shy in some way. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence(自信).You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists(心理学家).

Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don't turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.

Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.

If you start feeling shy in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned with the impression they are making, too.

No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so they can face the cameras and the public.
