Have any of you ever overcome shyness

Ive just been having a read of the happiness institutes website and found some really happy stuff

these are amongst them;

Doubt - thinking less than the best of yourself, others

Discouragement - wanting to throw in the towel before it is time

Envy - wondering why life has not given you as good a deal as someone else

Regret - dwelling on how things could have or should have been

Depression - feeling that life is closing in on you

Ingratitude - overlooking the many things you have to be
thankful for

its a good site - made me very happy and able to ignore lots of things which could upset me

Have any of you ever overcome shyness

I have gone through agonies with shyness myself and have no answers but maybe somebody has some solutions.

at parties i used to find it much worse if i was dreading it for days ahead cos then it would just turn into a self fulfilling prophesy - I would have convinced myself by the time I got there that i would feel out of place and so thats what i did - what a catch 22 the flippin things we convince ourselves of eh but i guess its all part of human nature

its crazy cos at other times Im really outgoing

Have any of you ever overcome shyness

my biggest nightmare is having to stand up in front of people to speak - i hate it but have overcome it with practice.

Have any of you ever overcome shyness

How do you deal with asking somebody out, loads of people have trouble with that one.

Theres loads of situations where it can affect us every day, giving a speech, standing up for yourself - anything - How've you beaten it?
