shoot this over to the chat board. they will answer like madmen. of course im shy btw. just have to do something every day to try to overcome it. say hi, smile at someone, try to make a conversation longer than you would normally. think of smalltalk that you can use with people. ------------------ | ||

Relax, and believe that people WANT to talk to you. The key is to be confident. When you feel confident in yourself, people can sense it. Just don't over do it, cause then they'll just think your a cocky, a**hole. | ||

Best advice I could give is just be yourself. When I was 14 I told one of my older friends, who was 18, that I was too shy to ask girls out. So that night we went out and he forced me to talk to really ugly girls. Eventually I worked up enough balls to talk to hot girls. But I ended up talking to every girl that night. It was frightening at first but then I got the hang of it. Now everytime I go out I think of that day and I say to myself "If you could speak to a stranger that you will never ever see again then you could easily speak to someone you know." Just be creative and be yourself. And you DON'T NEED a beer to make you relax...it helps sometimes to drink but doing it sober is the true test. Oh and also maybe it's not you..it could be the people around you that aren't interesting enough for you. But even if they aren't interesting it helps to practice on all different types of people. Just my $.02..hope it helps | ||

I'm the worst. I can't break ice to save my life. Period. If I get lucky and get to chat with a chick I'm golden. I have a pearl tongue once I relax my sphincter. Alcohol definitely helps me a lot!!!! Later, Green ------------------

Listen man, I don't think that a discussion board about anabolic steroids is the appropriate place for you to be asking about how to overcome your insecurities. Besides, you sound like a fag asking that question here. ------------------ | ||

theres nothing wrong with this post here. But I'll have to say that I shy sometimes and then other times I'm not. I live in an apartment at school and I'm a little quieter than normal when people come over, probably due to the fact that some of the people that are around, either I dont feel exactly comfortable with or wouldnt be hanging out with normally. It feels like I'm not 'in the circle', if you know what I mean. Bodybuilding does take a lot of my free time and social life, cause I'm usually eating at home when others go out, or working out when others are playing ball or something. | ||

Ooooh boy, BigJay got dissed quite badly there. Anyways, back to the main topic. I was very shy when I was 12,13. If my memory serves me right I was 15 when I first got a girlfriend. Nowadays, there are shall we say certain ways to combat this problem: the easiest would be to drink. This pretty much gets rid of absolutely all your inhibitions. Also, you could take 2.0g of GHB, which does exactly the same as alcohol, without the loss in libido. The hardest way would be to do it sober. This latter way would take a lot of time and practice. In a way, there is no substitute for experience. | ||

I am the same way. Can't talk to anyone about anaything at any time. Sometimes advice like "be yourself" and "just relax" don't do the trick. Severe anxiety(shyness in this case) takes much more to over come than "just realax and be yourself". It could be social anxiety. I would just see a doctor. For me the trick is stimulants. When I become energized I have a bit more confidence and willingness to talk. It, however, is nothing extraordinary. I am still uncomfortable almost anywhere and around anyone. You do have to make an effort to talk but sometimes it requires further assistance in the form of medication. ------------------ | ||

Bro,dont sweat it and remember there are millions and millions of shy people. Thats ok. Id much rather be around a quiet,shy type than some obnoxious loudmouth. If youre always worried about this you may have a bit of social anxiety,which is ok and nothing to worry about unless its severe. Some are born extroverts(outgoing) and some are born introverts(reserved,quiet). Im a pretty quiet introvert and weighing 240 helps people stay away from me. Both are NORMAL. Dont worry what others think. If you dont want to speak up dont,if you feeel like it,do. Relax and act how youre most comfortable... |
