Why you should not be shy

 

Shy people think people think little of them, they think things won’t go well if they tried to be outspoken. Other times they struggle with identity, low self-esteem and lack of courage.

Once, a close friend of mine was so shy and I had the opportunity to ask her questions. It turned out that majority of the reasons she gave about why she was shy were based on what she thought others were thinking, other reasons she gave were that people couldn’t understand her and her eyes were bulgy.

We all have our reasons for holding back and not manifesting our full potential. But the truth is, you're the only who can do what you can do. 

The world is a puzzle and we are all piece’s made to fit perfectly into a bigger picture. Your shyness only hinders you from taking your part and playing your roles.

You're the only who can do what you can do.

But in the case of misunderstanding, you need not fret. You can not please everybody but you can make your intentions known to the ones who are interested in seeing the best in you.

I’ll be dropping some key points on how to get yourself ready for the crowd, do share to your friends if you feel the need.

Acknowledge yourself

This might be hard to deal with at first if you have low self-esteem but no worries we are all in this together. The thing is, you really cannot work to your full potential if you don’t first uncover your abilities.

Your talents and your abilities should not be hidden

What are your abilities, talents, strengths, what’s more to you than meets the eye? These are some questions you can consider asking you.

Your abilities, talents and skills are some big reasons why you’re special and original. This is why you stand out of the crowd. No human is born without a talent and a great ability. All youh haveto do is pay good attention to yourself. Your talents and your abilities should not be hidden but should be revealed and manifested, now not only to your surrounding but to the whole world.

No mind reading

Mind reading is an ability that has been coveted for ages. The power to prognosticate the human mind and the secrets thoughts left bare.

As much as we desire this ability, we still do not have it. 

Approach people in a gentle manner, give your opinions and ask for theirs. 

Give yourself the benefit of the doubt, they might not be thinking what you’re actually thinking they are thinking!

Approach people in a gentle manner, give your opinions and ask for theirs. That is one good way of getting to know what is on someone’s mind. 

Clear your mind of too much presumptions and assumptions and pay close attention to reaction.

While it is so stressful to overthink it is healthy to be deductive. And note, your actions trigger reaction. So if you want the best reactions, do the best actions.

Hygiene

While it is good to discover your inner powers and abilities and also pay close attention to the reaction of people it is also good to practice good hygiene.

Good hygiene saves lives, especially during this pandemic where we have to wash our hands regularly. Good hygiene also save you from embarrassment.

Wear clean clothes, apply body spray, shower thrice a day and brush twice a day.

Being shy but neat would not be as bad as being unkempt. If you allow yourself, good hygiene can boost your self confidence.

 

According to study, sweat does not smell. But when it mixes with natural bacteria on your skin, it releases an offensive odor that can be related to body odor. Wear clean clothes, apply body spray, shower thrice a day and brush twice a day.

Smile!

You’re almost prepared but there’s only one thing lacking. A smile! This is one of the easiest way to appear approachable. With the right outfit and a smile you can do great things. You just have to look neat and smile more.

Tell yourself you are going to do great and believe it!

It won’t be easy trying to not be shy and there are days where you wouldn’t want to try anymore.

When you feel that way, recount your steps, make efforts and try from new angles.
