How To Overcome Shyness Around Women
If you want to know how to overcome shyness around women, this
article is going to explore the methods that work, and strategies
to avoid that will just waste your time.
First of all, if you're under 25 years old (and you probably don't
want to hear this) your identity is still not truly fully- formed
and you're still likely sensitive to the opinions of others.
So before we get into techniques and methods about how to overcome
shyness (especially around women), begin to at least get a sense
of the fact of what shyness really is:
Shyness, at it's core, is a preoccupation with what other people
think about you.
A lot of people, in an attempt to overcome shyness, will just say
"well, I don't care what anyone thinks or says".
But the reality is that they really do care, very much, and they're
just trying to cover up their insecurity.
So that's not a good strategy.
How about "fake it till you make it" - is that a viable strategy?
Yes, but let's be clear about a few things - first of all let's
replace the term "fake it" with "emulate".
To overcome shyness, you can emulate someone who does not seem
shy.
Emulating others is exactly how you ended up with all of the behaviors
you have today - growing up you are like a sponge and you absorb
everything going on around you and then you emulate that.
Don't believe me?-then just say some curse words around little
kids and 2 seconds later you'll hear the same words coming out of
their mouth!
Watch kids playing and you'll see that they "pretend" a lot.
If you take this natural process of copying and absorbing, you'll
quickly realize there's nothing at all "fake" about it.
The thing you want to do is choose one behavior you wish you had
- you do NOT want to try to emulate too many qualities at once.
For example you do NOT want to choose to emulate being "outgoing,
funny, confident, witty, conversational, and gregarious" - that's
too many things to try to become all at once.
Instead, choose just one quality. The best quality to choose really
would be confidence.
To overcome shyness, confidence is the perfect antidote.
Next you're going to shortcut this whole process if you can find
someone to emulate how has confidence.
Once you found a good person to emulate, now what?
Simple: observe them. Just like a little kid would observe, with
wide-eyed interest and fascination.
Finally, like a little kid, play "pretend", emulate their behaviors,
how they stand, move sit and walk, their gestures and facial expressions
too.
