There is nothing wrong with being shy. In fact, happy, successful people are shy. You can try to say goodbye to your shyness. Here’s how to do so.
1. Start Small. At home, practice and saying hi while looking at yourself in the mirror. Then try this at school with kids you know well. Once that becomes a habit, try doing the same with kids you don’t know as well.
2. Are Key. Once you smiling and saying hi, it’s time to start a conversation. All you really have to do is to ask a question or two about a person’s : What’s your favorite movie? Do you like playing tennis? Just be careful not to ask questions that are too personal __ might be hurtful.
3. Choose Face-to-face Time. Many shy girls say it’s easier for them to talk to people . In a recent survey, nearly two out of every 10 shy girls said being online has made them even shyer in real life. So your cell phone, step away from the computer, and put in some face-to-face time with the people in your life.
4. Star in Your Own Life. Looking people in the eye, saying hi with a smile, and starting conversations will probably feel strange at first, but every time you practice your new skills, it will become a little .
you keep working at it, you will become more comfortable talking to other people.
