Having problems with message search?
Hi Annette, I've read some of those self-help books and they're okay. But I haven't improved much, I dunno maybe I need some motivational thing. But thanks I'll look up the first one since I've read the second one already.

You might try some books on this subject (both paperback, on Amazon):"How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere: The Secrets of Good Communication" by Bill Gilbert and Larry King"Shyness: A Bold New Approach" by Bernardo Carducci. Contains advice on making conversation: it's less about finding the "right" thing to say than about directing your attention and warmth toward other people rather than on yourself.Good luck,Annette----- Original Message -----From: sophiebo84Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 2:46 AMSubject: [SocialFitnessForum] ShynessHi, My problem with shyness is that I try to be conversational but
people don't seem to give me a chance because I guess I say the
wrong thing and it just creates an awkward silence because I don't
know what else to say.
I've always been shy though at times more than others. I had an
overprotective mother so I never really socialized with other people
my age when I was was a child. So as I grew into young adulthood I
didn't know how to interact with my peers and throughout adolescence
I've had only one or two very close friends at different times.
I just need good advice or counselling for this sort of thing. Can
anyone suggest anything?
