sportsfan20 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 is it possible for shy people to become no longer shy or stay it when it comes to certain things like liking someone? Link to comment
reinvented21 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I believe so. Shyness is basically the same thing as social anxiety. You need to learn to relax. You need to restructure youre negative thinking style. You need gradual exposure, and eventually you will overcome it or at least learn to cope with it. I tend to disagree with those who may say to shy people just do it. That is only part of the equation. Many shy people have "irrational" thinking. Sometimes the fear can be crippling. They may fear they may be laughed at. They may fear they may be ridiculed. Realistically the odds of something like that is slim to none. Once shy people can learn to relax, restructure their thinking style, and expose themselves to situations they fear, they can overcome shyness/social anxiety. Alot of guys I know are afraid of rejection when it comes to dating. Hope this helps Link to comment
