Overcome Your Shyness — The Best Way To Become Permanently Confident
The best way to overcome your own shyness and become more confident is to own that shyness.
Stop trying to pretend to be something you are not, and do not try this whole “Fake-it-till-you-make-it” attitude.
If you are a shy person then owning up to that gives you the freedom to be confident within that paradigm!
This gives you the opportunity to then act differently within that paradigm until it changes.
Have you ever tried standing up and just deciding to be confident today?
Sounds too simple; There is no way you could just become confident by choosing to be so… right?
Well, think about it this way: Do you know what a confident person looks like? How they act? Walk? Talk? How they behave and what mannerisms they use? What the infliction of their voice is like and how far their chest is puffed out?
When you read those questions you probably saw some confident person in your minds eye acting out their confidence.
You saw the way they held their head up high, the strong strides they made, the smile and focused eyes, and the confidence that just seemed to exude from them.
