If you think you’re too shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following. You can make it.
Tell people you’re shy.
There’s no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they’ll understand you better. (1) This also helps you feel more at ease in talks.
(2)________________________
When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have such feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
(3)_________________________
If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere.
Think about more ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not.
Take one small step at a time .Each time after you say “Hi” or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself “You did it!” Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice cream.
Keep trying and you’ll never be shy when you talk to others one day.
