How do you get over shyness and become more approachable
First of all, shyness is a personality trait, not a character flaw! So treat it like that! Embrace shyness. It’s ok if you can’t talk to a million people all at the same time and be this social butterfly, contantly “on.” What you want to do though, is be more approachable by smiling more and holding your head high. Just a simple smile will let people know it’s ok to talk to you. And you don’t have to think of all kinds of witty things to say. Just be a great listener and ask questions to get people talking.

And How To Make It Work For YOU!
Thanks for the tips.
im gonna talk in front of the class tomorrow and i was super scared but u helped me so much!! thx for real
1st 11 secs and bitch is already wrong. shyness can be overcome. I’m a living example. don’t listen to this woman.
Shyness is not introvertedness. Big difference. However, I’m shy and ambiverted
I agree. I don’t laugh at everything that most people laugh at, and I am overall an extremely serious person… but I just had to find people that I could laugh with about things that I found funny. It sounds hard, but it’s really not. What helped me to meet new people was playing my cello. It honestly helped me meet new people, and become more outgoing. Use something that you are good at, but do not become cocky. Stay humble, but embrace your talents. It will change for the better.
I think the best way is to just forget about what people think. Honestly, just forget about it; Does it matter? I think what helped me amazingly was my friends… especially one of my friends. He was more shy than me, and then I met more people, and I started to become more outgoing. I thought my acne was bad, but then as I got into higher grades, I noticed how common it was. I embraced my differences and I felt like I wanted to be a leader. I even helped my friend, and now he is a great speaker
When people talk to me I don’t say much because I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing and looking like an idiot…
omg i hattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttte it when people think im a snob cuz im superrr shy
i am very serious too -_-
I tried looking at peoples eyebrows D:
wow that is so true lol I havent talk to a single teacher for 8 years lol now Im in 9th grade nd this is my first time talking to one
@chanelle144 soo happy im not the oni person
wow this was great, I agreed with so much of this
People CAN change and be who they want to be. The only problem is finding out how to get into that mindset. I watched about 42 seconds of this video and thought “This is BS” if being shy is stopping you from the things YOU want to do that IS a flaw! It’s not a fun thing or anything people like to be. So how can you go telling people to embrace what holds them back? If anything that’s really discouraging telling people they can’t change.
@CADtekk -It’s not right or kind of people to walk on others, or take advantage of them. We do need to maintain our self-respect. But it is not healthy to carry an angry attitude either. We only hurt ourselves. It’s far better be true to ourselves, not to allow others to change us, or let them make us what they are. It does’nt have to be a war. That is a wall that is wearisome to keep up. They have the problem. Be with people who truly care about you, it’s easier then keeping a wall around us.
I agree with cookie
Wrong wrong wrong firstly you can change your personality I was really shy and then I just got over it by just talking lots and you can change your skin colour Michael jackson :L
lets face it , nobody wants to employ a shy person , everybody takes the mickey out of shy people
eye contact and smiling = not shy
Shyness is the cruelest thing , it ruins lives , theres nothing good about it :-/
