Do you feel shy while speaking in
public? Do you get uneasy if someone introduces you and asks you to speak a few
words on stage? Is nervousness a constant thing that comes to you while making
a public appearance? If an answer to any of these questions is yes, you are at
the right place to easily overcome your shyness and face the world with
confidence. Here are three simple steps:
·
Identify what
makes you shy?
Different people
feel nervous in different situations. Some are shy of public speaking, some
feel low in confidence while speaking on a particular topic, some people are
shy of a new situation, some feel under confident at a new place, some feel
uneasy while learning a new skill…the list is endless and varies from person to
person. Thus the first step to overcome shyness is to identify what makes you
shy? Once you know the answer to this, it is easy to take corrective steps
then.
·
Try and
cure that by making yourself comfortable
Once you know
what makes you nervous, try and combat that with solutions. For example, if you
feel shy while speaking on a particular topic, say politic, gather knowledge
about it in details. This knowledge will make you speak confidently the next
time you are in such a situation. Another example could be, if you are shy of
speaking in public, practice speaking in front of family and friends. You can
also practice the topic several times, so that you gain confidence next time
when you are to speak in public.
·
Motivate
yourself
You must keep
yourself motivated by appreciating new achievements every now and then. You can
also feel good by imagining situations that would have made you nervous but you
came out with flying colors in the same.
No one is perfect and we all
commit mistakes, so be confident in whatever you do!
