How to not be socially awkward/shy?
I went through high school, 4 years of college, and being out in general public with social anxiety. It wasn't until recently that I've learned how to cope with and overcome it. It's not an overnight thing, and it's not an uncommon, so never feel like you're alone. The way I found to cope, was to put myself in constant situations where I HAD to be sociable. Public pools always scared the hell out of me to the point I would eventually start having a panic attack and leave. Now I could go out in a bikini bottom and not care. In other situations, I would talk to as many people as I could. If was just to say hey, I made it a point to be outspoken more. It's the idea that you're confronting fear consciously and doing it over and over to help you become more relaxed and open. I used to battle with thinking everywhere I went people were talking about me. You just have to keep putting youself in situations that you fear. You will learn how to recognize that fear and overcome it. My suggestion is you try to be more self confident. Try talking to everyone. Or join in conversations more often. If you have trouble being in public places, try to visit those places more often. Especially with your close friends. Talk to them about it. Let them know you're quiet because you're having to battle this condition. I also decided to go see a professional. She helped me out by building self esteem and confidence. She helped me find the really good qualities about myself and the interesting sides of my personality. That and 3 years in the Corps really boosted my self confidence. Don't be afriad to be afraid. It's not easy to overcome this issue. It takes dedication, confidence, and a strong desire to change your life so you can enjoy it. Believe in yourself!
Why am I so shy and socially awkward?
Idk how old you are. If you are young you might just have not gotten out of your shell. If you are 20+ years old you might have social anxiety which is treatable with therapy. I know what it's like because I'm like that too.
I'm really shy and socially awkward?
I don't have any friends, never really did. I've been socially awkward and shy basically my whole life. Whenever I thought I had friends, they just ditched and ignored me later on, and I wondered what I did wrong. I guess it was because I can't talk normally when talking to people, so my "friends" lost interest. Nobody talks to me now, even at my new school, which I started on Tuesday. People here are nicer too than my last school, and not 1 person is trying to talk to me. Doesn't help that I'm insecure too, and I do know I'm quite ugly... So I'm sure people, especially boys, think I am ugly and avoid talking to me or avoid being seen with me. It doesn't matter where I am really, nobody tries talking to me even outside of school. I just need to know how to cope and deal with this... I think about it basically everyday and it depresses me. I can't help but be super shy and boring or socially awkward, so it's hard.
How to not be socially awkward in a MMORPG?
Just be yourself, man! That's the fun in playing online. The guy on the other end might be like you, and just wants to team up. Don't let shyness affect your interaction with him. He can't see your face. Lol. That's what makes online games fun. Relaxe, have fun, and don't be afraid to act stupid sometimes for the sake of a laugh. Just look up some videos on YouTube of Vanoss. He and his friend Delirious cut up and have fun acting crazy with all sorts of shenanigans. If your still shy about going online like that, try to get a friend you know started playing with you. It could help out with making new friends. Also, another thing to remember, no matter how somebody treats you over a mic or chat, just remember that they can't touch you. And if they get on your nerves, just ignore them.
How to stop being socially awkward?
I am sooo shy. Especially at school. And I always find that eye contact is so awkward. Like yesterday I was deeply listening to my science teacher teaching since I had to catch up on topic since I was absent for 3 days. He must have found it awkward and he quickly looked away. Even in the lunchroom when I'm heading to a table I get really nervous and start feeling awkward since I feel like everyone's staring at me. How can I stop feeling so shy/awkward all the time? I'm starting to hate myself.
Why am I socially awkward even though I'm not shy?
Not everyone learns to be fluent in Social Skills, particularly making conversation. And not everyone who gabs is necessarily a good communicator but they play up the best aspects of themselves and present a positive bright side if themselves to the ones they wish to impress.I can tell you that no one really likes a fake or a flake, but are amused by their antics. With that said be yoursel, I'm sure you have an amazing amount of good qualities. So a great social skills that few people have is the ability to really listen and people like sincere interest in what they are saying. Clarifying what is being said by parroting it back to them once in a while shows that you are really tuned in to what was said. Asking questions concerning the conversation is another cue that you are genuinely interested in getting to know people but don't come across as an interogator. :) Gravitate towards people interested in the same things you do or want to do. Don't be fake, be genuine. Try things that are new that you've never tried. Know what is going on in the world, your country, and in town so that you can comment on issues or entertainment or just where the park is if someone asks. Update me on your success using my tips. I had to learn as a teenager myself. May God give with you.0:) B.
I am shy, quiet, and socially awkward. Help :\?
Don't worry, everyone goes through this. Build your self confidence. As they say "fake it til you make it" just fake your confidence, and it will come naturally. smile, say what's on your mind, be genuine. Just be yourself. Nobody's judging you as much as you are. think about it- how much time are they spending thinking about you? they're thinking about themselves, and so are you. Also remember- you can't change what people say or think what others say isn't true- only what you believe to be true is true personality is everything- looks are nice but what people will remember most is how you treated people, how you carried yourself. If you're having trouble talking with people- ask them questions about everyone's favorite subject- themselves! ask them what they do, what are their hobbies, what do they want to do when they go to college, where are they from, etc. They will walk away from the conversation thinking you're the coolest person in the world and not know a thing about you.
