A shy person is scared of social events and meeting new people. They don’t want to perform or talk in public because they want less attention. They are often self- conscious, uncomfortable, or insecure.
What Causes Shyness :
Being shy can originate from childhood. Experiences from your childhood years affect what you are in adulthood. Factors for shyness include genetics, past experiences, and social encounters. The level of shyness depends on the individual. Slight reactions like blushing can be severe to others like panic attacks that can cause heart palpitations, excessive sweating, and nausea. People who weren’t able to overcome shyness develop phobia in groups of people or anxiety disorder. They do everything just to avoid a certain situation or event.
Tips To Combat Shyness
* Ask help from people you trust like your family and friends. Practice socializing by maintaining eye contact during conversations.
* Know your insecurities. Is it because your fat or you find yourself ugly? Try to think positive and don’t feel ashamed of yourself.
* Believe that no one is perfect in this world. Even a famous person has failures and insecurities.
* Identify your talents and skills. Focus on that talent of yours and have a goal to improve it. Express yourself by drawing, singing, or dancing.
* Be grateful of what you have. If you lack that self confidence, then learn to appreciate what you have in life.
Eliminate the feeling of dissatisfaction:
* Start a conversation by yourself first. Don’t wait for others to approach you. A simple compliment or smile when meeting new people is a great start.
* Practice speech in front of the mirror. When conversing with someone, don’t make it too scripted. Go on with the flow. Speak with Clarity so that others can understand, Educate each and every step while sharing ideas and personal experiences are always the best.
* Find a group which matches your interest. Talking to a group with the same interest will allow you to open up your thoughts and feelings.
* If you suddenly get nervous during a conversation, then make appropriate excuses by saying you need to go the bathroom or you need to get something. Give yourself time to calm down and organize your thoughts for a few minutes before you return back for a conversation.
* Always be yourself. Don’t act as if you’re somebody else. Don’t be afraid to show your uniqueness to others. Your personality is a bridge in making new friends.

Hi
This is a useful post particularly for those who are shy because they are limited by the knowledge of the English language. By using the tips given and taking the initiative to interact with people you can discover your own strengths (perhaps you have novel ideas, you express your passion etc.) and you will also be aware of your weakness (eg. the need to expand your vocabulary, the ability to hone your listening skills etc.)
To gain confidence, you can in addition to the tips given by Vinod also visualise positive images (e.g. the compliments given by others, the prizes you have received for some accomplishments etc.) and be pragmatic about any criticism ( eg. if the criticism is valid suppress your irritation and anger and learn from the feedback, if the criticism is in your opinion wrong, simply ignore it and do not let it dampen your spirits).
For more such Inspirational and Motivational inputs that can be easily implemented in daily life visit the following blogs
