When I was young, I was kind of shy. Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it. 1
The excitement of being lost at something that you love can help you forget your nervousness while showing off in public. Next, why not get more chances to speak in public? For me, when I got to high school, I took speech classes.
2 Then, don’t think about what will happen. It’s possible that you might be laughed at when speaking.
3 What really happens is better than what we imagine. Finally, remember past successes. Whether it is making a successful speech, remembering past successes can help inspire you to get future success. 4
If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again! It's actually natural to be a little bit nervous about meeting new people, making cold calls, or giving a speech. That nervousness doesn't have to keep you from succeeding, though.
