What Is Shyness And Why It’s Hurting You

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo5ZqAfayDc

Let me start off by showing you exactly what shyness is before I try to help you learn how to overcome shyness.

shyness synonymns

Look at all these synonyms of Shyness…. Embarrassment, self consciousness, coyness, and look at that… Timid.

Do you know the definition of Timid? Well here it is

Timidity definition

No confidence and no courage. In reality shyness means WEAK. Most people say shyness like it’s normal or okay to be shy. It’s REALLY NOT okay to be shy. It is a super weak emotion that you can overcome. It is hurting your life and I want to start this whole thing out by letting you know that.

If you searched how to overcome shyness… you need to really learn answer quick.

There is no reason you can’t learn how to have more confidence in your life. You deserve everything that you are willing to work for and you gotta have courage to go out there and take what you deserve.

I don’t say this stuff to demean you or scare you, I say it because I really want you to understand how much of a problem it is and will always be for you until you learn how to overcome shyness.

 

There Is No Good Reason To Be Shy

You will notice that the more you fight the shyness the faster it goes away. You learn how to overcome the shyness by realizing there is no reason to be shy. What are you afraid of? You were probably shy around the friends you have now right when you met them, right? But what happened after you got to know them?

That’s right! You realized there was really no reason to be shy around them. This is how we treat most things in life. We tell ourselves in our head that something is scary when in reality it’s not scary at all. Why would you be shy?

 

Face The Fear And Shyness Head On

I’m sure you have heard people say to fight your fears head on. For instance, if you are afraid of heights, go to the top of a building and look down until you’re not scared anymore. Or if you’re afraid of spiders, hold a tarantula and realize how harmless most spiders really are.

If you think I’m just talking to be talking you don’t know me very well. I was scared sh**less of HUGE spiders (who isn’t!) but I thought it would be an amazing addition to a horror themed music video… so I went and bought me a spider and overcame my fear of it by owning it and holding it and then actually letting it crawl on me in my own music video.

I scripted, edited, location scouted and everything for this entire music video. I hope you like it.

 

Try New Things To Overcome Shyness

Like the last one except here you are going to try things completely out of the box that you have never even considered doing before. When you go out and do something you have never even thought about doing before it not only expands your mind and helps you learn new things but it shows you more about the world which will open your mind to seeing why being shy is actually hurting you.

The more I see of this world, the more I understand how things work, why things work, why things are in place, why people act in certain ways and things that I can’t even explain to you because you have to witness them yourself.

Get out there and take every opportunity you can to see new things, try new foods, experience other cultures on the other side of town, make friends with people outside of your normal circle, ANYTHING that is new to you.

Since I have started being more curious and open to stuff like this, I have become a whole new person. I mean completely different, stronger, smarter…. everything. Try new things and you will learn how to overcome shyness way faster.

 

The Secret Move

Before you go out next time, see yourself being courageous and confident. See yourself walking up to people and talking to them. See yourself shaking hands with people, keeping eye contact and smiling at them as they smile back and give you compliments about something you know you are going to wear tonight.

Visualizing it will make it seem more real and actually make it easier to overcome shyness when the time comes.

This isn’t just some random garbage idea either. Visualizing works for every single major athlete in the world to the worlds top musicians. Science proves that visualizing helps increase performance in anything. Your brain can’t tell the difference between the visualization and the real event if you visualize it with enough detail. Yea, it’s true. Go look it up!

Cool huh.

Psychologist Alan Richardson made an experiment. He took a group of basketball players, divided them in 3 groups and tested each player’s ability to make free throws.

  1. The first group would practice 20 minutes every day.
  2. The second would only visualize themselves making free throws, but no real practice was allowed.
  3. The third would not practice or visualize.

The results were amazing. There was incredible improvement in the group that only visualized the free throws; they were almost just as good as they players who actually practiced shooting the ball.

 

Tell Yourself You Are Confident 

Along with visualizing, let yourself know that you ARE confident and there is no shyness in you. Realistically, deep down, you are 100% confident and nothing can touch you. The only thing hurting you is your negative thoughts about yourself. Let’s get into that.

Get Rid Of Negative Thoughts

It took me a bit of time to learn how to block, intercept and tackle negative thoughts ferociously.

I used to weigh myself down with negative thoughts everyday. They would spiral and I would become more and more depressed which is the complete antithesis of having confidence.

If you REALLY want to know how to build confidence, one of the first things you should do is get rid of negative thoughts.

A positive thought is 10 times stronger than a negative thought so anytime a negative thought comes into your head, hit it with a bright happy one.
