How I did it: I just am becoming more comfortable with the person I am. And once you are more and more comfortable and loving of the person you are....and not feeling sorry for yourself...it becomes easier to be brave. Because what another person thinks becomes less and less important if you are acting genuinely.

ALSO, it helps that you put yourself in an enviorment that you feel safe. And approach strangers from a genuine interest in something. Notj ust becase they are pretty or handsome. But find something more to appreciate. And you can have a great starting point.

Lessons & tips: Be patient and question yourself at night. Talk to the father and mother in your head. The positive ones that care aboiut you and want you to be YOU..the real you.

And they will tell you the right way. and help them become you. And sooner or later, you won't be able to distinguish the father and mothers voice from your own. And once you can get there and it the same confident voice you've reached a place of comfort. And then the journey to maintain and grow starts.
