Honestly, I would like to consider shyness as a gift, but not likely a gift that I might like and use. I have read articles suggesting that shy people are...
Hi Everybody, I'm new in this group. I'm 46 and I'm having similar problems as Tony or djoray or maybe many of you, so I would be happy to share some of my...
I have read Romek's writings. And I realize that everything that he said about SAD matches with me. But I come to believe that shyness is not the problem. ...
That's a bit of a tricky situation! I'm no expert on the matter but felt that I haven't made any contribution to the group for such a long time it was about...
Hi everyone, I hope you all don't mind me intruding here. I am a freelance journalist and doing a story on shyness for the health section of an Australian...
Hello - I'm new to this group and I'd like to ask if anyone has any advice that might help me. I'm quite confident when talking to individual people but in...
I just thought I'd write to say that I've spent quite a lot of today reading through lots of the past messages here (when I should have been working!) and I...
Yup, in my experience trying to suppress thoughts just entrenches them. There's a lesson to be learned from great speakers. Great speakers talk to audiences...
Hey, this is really good advice. Thank you so much! I have a meeting in a few hours time so I can try this out. cheers! Sarah ... them. ... speakers talk to ...

New to the group. Never really considered shyness my problem when I was young mostly thought I just didn't fit. Anyway, as the years have gone by I see myself...
Phil, I think shyness does tend to be progressive if left undealt with. As you get older, you get more isolated. This happened to me. As someone over 50, I...
I appreciate your reply and will check out the book. I'm currently in a small group that is very supportive but only been a member for about 6 months. Great...
After two years of working with the books I am beginning to apply the principles of talking with others to dating. Very high anxiety! But I am gradually...
Does an intense fear of failure - due to lack of skills - cause one to give up and not take appropriate actions in social situations? One thing I know for...
Yes, they go together. As a shy person, I tend to be very perfectionistic and hard on myself if I do anything wrong. Because of this, I would second-guess...
Hi everybody. I find that I have to spend a bit of time on building some self esteem first which helps me become more pro-social. The other thing is that I...
Hey guys, ok, I'm really really really shy. Almost everwhere I go. I only have 3 friends I am not shy around plus my parents, sister, cousin and grandma. I'm...
First of all, forget about suicide. It's a proven scientific fact that it will not cure shyness. :) Seriously, I speak from experience. About 30 years ago,...
sure we can help, there are certainly things you can do to overcome your shyness even if you are really really really shy;). I would guess maybe you have...
Thanks, sorry I just had time read it today. I'm afraid I'm still way too shy to move on to this step. I think I'm much more comfortable around people I...
Tony, Maybe you would find it helpful to just practice being friendly in a group of people you already have acquaintance with, such as a church group, club or...
This free recovery approach has been a great help to me personally: (**This is not an ad, I just joined the group -Hi- and I am postiong this personally. Just...
Although I have looked at my life in different ways, over the years, trying to understand myself better. I never really considered shyness until recently, yet...
I've certainly felt that way, especially with my parents - even though they are in their 70's and I am in my 40's. Over the years, I've found the answer. It...
I, too, have pondered this, but don't know how I'd respond differently. Even today I sometimes encounter situations where I feel someone has violated my ...
Yes, it's certainly tough to defend oneself against a bully, especially when one is shy to begin with. One strategy you could employ is to determine...
I have a real problem here, I am really attracted to a man who I know likes me alot. The problem is..I really like him too but I can't seem to be comfortable...
I doubt he sees it as a problem. Shyness in women can be attractive to many guys, especially if it doesn't prevent reaching a level of comfort. If you need to...
