Overcoming(克服) shyness is not impossible. The following steps may be helpful.
Step 1
Overcoming shyness is mainly a case of mind over matter. If you're afraid to do it, you will get much shyer when
doing it. The more you come to talk with people, the easier it will become. You may also find that it's not as difficult
as you thought anyway. Just talk to people a little more every day.
Step 2
It sometimes helps to try to imagine you as another person. Think about this: Do you get shy when someone else
walks up to talk to another? Of course you don't. Think of yourself as just somebody else and it'll make it a little
easier.
Step 3
Dress to impress. The better you look, the more confident you'll feel. Feeling good about your appearance can
greatly reduce shyness.
Step 4
If you're up on stage, try to imagine that you're somewhere else. Maybe in your own comfortable living room. Tell
yourself that the audiences are really no big deal. They're ONLY people.
