don't be shy

[martin2008]

shyness is by nature the enemy of greatness. like a distorting mirrorit, it may diminish our virtue and enlarge our weakness. i 've overcome it, hard experience though. in the past few years,i was ready for every chance of being in public, speaking in public and leading the public, and i made it.

I don't have such willpower to be out of my comfort zone in that great amount!

Feel good about yourself! You worked hard to make your life better... took control of your own life. others should be more like you. including me. Don't stop improving... :)

Being out there is as hard as being inside. Shyness is as difficult to be as being outgoing. All you gotta do is pull back the curtain that separates you from the rest. The curtain could be fear, and all you have to do is rise up to the challenge and have fun! If you can have fun while being outgoing it seems easier. The curtain is fun to hide behind, but someday you'll come out from behind of the curtain and Poof! tossed into the real world without a clue.

I disagree with this. I, being one of them, have found that shy people are by far the most pure and virtuous people out there. I don't think the same about extroverted people because they tend to be the ones to give up their ideals and follow a crowd since they need that communication with them.
This is a huge generalization though.

Hm, I think that both drumir93 and martin2008 have a point. As for myself, I am somewhere in the middle .. and feel like a chameleon cause I can be extremely shy one day and the next one - to be willing to have a crazy party with my acquaintances.
Sooo, I believe that most shy people are more sensitive which results in their belief in deep relationships, purity and such stuff, unlike the extroverts who can ignore evth or (even worse) manipulate everyone to achieve their ambitious goals. Still, extroversion is essential if you want to reach the top of your career or be famous among your mates, because you'll need to fit into the social layers you are aspiring . The question is : do you really need this? Everyone decides for theirselves. Of course, there are also shy people who are very vile and try to hide their hatred under a mask .. or maybe they do not feel strong enough to show it to the world? Oh, every case has its exclusions. The most important thing is to act with people the way you want them to act with you. =)

P.S. Sorry, if there were any mistakes, but I'm not a native English speaker. Hope you got the idea :D

I feel that it's all within the mind. If you think that you're shy by nature then you will never be able to step out of it. Try not to give yourself excuses and put words into action. Thinking alone is not enough. You will have to do it. Keep on trying your best and you will step out of it one day. I would say a person's greatness enemy is yourself, not shyness. :)

Good gods, he's like me, in a tiny little 8-post package. This sums it up, basically- It's the secret to doing well in life. Bad things don't happen to you, you let them happen to you.

I've had problems with my shyness too. I was very shy in asking a girl out and I managed to overcome it for the first time by sending anonymous, secret messages to her through GoaQoo.com. As her answers were very positive I finally took the courage to tell her who I was and to approach her. For me, encouragement and positive feedback meant a lot in overcoming my shyness and I think this would help others too :)
