Ten Solutions to Overcoming Shyness





Today in class, I noticed this quiet boy reading a how-to book. He was trying to overcome shyness. He sat beside me in class, I wonder if he ever wanted to say something to me but was too scared. He probably would've just commented on the lesson, maybe he's a little strange and would've said something scary. Such as, "you smell really good today", or, "so I saw you eating a sandwich at lunch today, that's very healthy of you. Are you generally concerned with your health?". Those are the kinds of things I think and don't say to strangers. Except I usually think they smell bad, not good. I think I'm going to talk to that guy tomorrow. What if he's really smart, or funny, or crazy like me, and I just completely miss out on his crazy thoughts? I just can't risk that.
