When you feel a little scared when you’re around other people, tha’s what shyness means. Just about everybody feels shy sometimes. If you’re the new kid in your fourth grade at school or you have to get in front of  the gruop for a world culture speech .

Being shy is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel comfortable with new people and new situations. The truth is that it can  be helpful to be a little shy. When you’re shy, you may spend a little extra time observing the scene before jumping right into it. And you’re unlikely to talk to strangers, which you shouldn’t do anyway!

If you weren’t shy as a little kid, it’s still possible to be a shy person. You might have learned to be shy because of experiences you’ve had in the past at school or any other place.  Sometimes you only feel shy for a little while, like the first time you get on a new team practice. This type of shyness often goes away after you get adjusted. For instance, after a few days, you’ll probably have the position you like to play in and you’ll get to know friends on the team.

Sometimes, people become so shy they are afraid to do simple things in life.  Some people are so shy about meeting new people that they rarely go outside. Doctors, psychologists or self hypnosis often can help the person work through this kind of shyness.

If  this social anxiety disorder is keeping you from doing stuff you want to do, talk to someone about it. Parents, teachers, counselors, hypnosis and doctors are all good to turn to. Learning about your shyness or social anxiety  may help you get over it… Learn 7 Ways to Soothe your Shyness

To your succes,
