How to Finally Overcome Shyness

1. Use your subconscious. Everything starts in your mind and then becomes reality, so you need to install the right beliefs into your subconscious. 
2. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people. It's hard to find people like this – if you have friends who can manage this tightrope act between support and criticism, you should hang on to them!
3. Expand your comfort zone. You're never going to get anywhere without trying new things. If you can't swim, you're going to have to get wet.
4. One step at a time. Extending the swimming analogy, chances are you're not going to learn to swim by jumping into the deep end – it's too much, too soon.
5. Don't take things so seriously. Lighten up and keep things in perspective.
6. Shyness is pride. Nobody really cares about you. So stop being so self absorbed.
7. Don't over analyze. You are not going to overcome shyness by thinking about it.
8. Be comfortable in your own skin. Try going out alone.
9. Read the right books (and blogs!). Read books that will help you with your shyness.
