Every person has a shy side. Each one of us yearns to be accepted in all aspects of life. Work and social events alike. No one wants to be laughed at or humiliated in front of others. This is especially true of strangers and people of the opposite sex.

First admit your shy. Realize the benefits of conquering this self defeating behavior. Overcoming shyness, like anything, can be mastered. Avoiding shyness will only make it worse.

Remember the first restaurant you ate at? You were nervous. The waiters, the attention and everyone looking at you. Then after many other dinners out, you got used to it. Things got better. This is what this small mini course will teach you. We’ll start small and work up from there.

The best way to start to overcome your shyness is to interact with people that you will not see again. People that are out there to help you. These people won’t judge you. Let’s not start with some one you are sexually motivated towards. Let’s get to the Mall.

Here we go. Dress nice and get to the Mall or anywhere social. Look for opportunities to help people. Open doors for the elderly, help someone carry a package or pick up an item that was dropped. By doing this you are in a controllable and power position. People will smile and thank you for helping them.

Take this opportunity to talk with these people for they will judge you positively. A charity or soup kitchen is also a great venue to tackle your shyness. This pools confidence inside you and allows you to move to the next step. You will no longer be petrified talking to a stranger.

Step 2. Walk up and ask someone for help that is the opposite sex and same age as you at one of your favorite stores. Maybe tell them that you need there help finding a Cd. You might be a bit nervous but don’t worry. He or she just wants to help and not judge you.

Do this over and over and your nerves will finally melt away. Increase your conversations making them longer and longer. You will realize that approaching your age,and opposite sex isn’t so bad. You see these are controlled environments where you don’t have to worried about being laughed at or accepted.

Last step. Now go to a stranger at the mall and ask when the mall closes. He or she should be the opposite sex and same age. Remember this is not a sexual advance. You are just making a little bit of chit chat with some eye contact. you’ll be amazed at how friendly people really are. Pat yourself on the back because you just engaged a total stranger.

Give yourself a big round of applause for you just creamed you shyness
