How to Meet People or How to Talk with Them If You Are Shy?
Jennie Pugach, 10c

  How to talk to the people if you are shy? Nowadays this issue is becoming/has become more urgent because people spend less time communicating with each other and prefer social networking sites to live communication. It certainly makes life easier, but we also must not forget how to speak and to meet with new people. Unfortunately, it's a lot harder to do if you're shy. Shyness is a big problem in our days. Many people are afraid to start a dialogue with unknown people because they think that they will interfere or create inconvenience. Shy people fall in panic if they have to talk or perform in public eye. How to deal with this problem?

  First of all, improve self-confidence and use it if you want to talk to someone.

  Secondly, you can find friends on social networking sites and chat with them. You will become more confident and make new friends. Also you shouldn’t compare yourself with others because everybody is individual. Unfortunately, I am a shy person too. And I try to get rid of this feature performing to my family or friends, sometimes I repeat a text or something else to myself. It’s helps me when I have to perform in public. Also my mother says if I smile to a person and look into a person’s eyes it will be easier to talk with him or her.

  Sometimes shyness is an age-related problem, growing up many people become more confident. Remember that shyness is an emotion, not a character. And you can change your sense of shyness with desire and action.
