Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people、Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions、Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such unfortable feelings must negatively affect people、A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions、In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives、

Can shyness be pletely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overe shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence、Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths、

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways、The better we understand ourselves, the easier it bees to live up to our full potential、Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life、
