stop being shy

Pretty much me. 4 days ago

One of the comments on my previous entry really inspired me to do something about this goal. Just sitting around not trying to change anything won’t do me any good. Plus I really need to improve my social skills, my studies and my dream job require it, I want to make new friends, start a new relationship. Overcoming shyness will make my way to achieving all those things so much easier.

So I watched the video freewind88 shared with me and I wrote down 5 basic steps I have to complete in order to overcome shyness. Everyone knows about these steps even without watching a video but it’s so hard to start actually doing something. Having things organized is always better and everyone needs to be inspired. The girl in the video is really sweet.

Here are the steps:

1. practise small talks
2. put yourself in social situations
3. exercise
4. do one thing a day that scares you
5. be nice to yourself

I will write about my progress later. 1 month ago

I made this resolution almost three years ago and goddamnit 2012 is gonna be the year to do it. 1 month ago

I’m starting to doubt that it’s even possible. It’s a trait of my personality and no matter how much I hate it and how much it fucks up my life I can’t seem to change it.

Whoever managed to complete this goal, I need your advice. 2 months ago

i’m super disappointed in myself right about now.
it’s like, “Ok, going into a new year. gonna be social and gonna be liked cause of it.”
i’m so bad at this i can’t even put it into words.
wait, no. i probably could.
i just don’t have the heart to.
the fact that i can’t get myself to just talk more and to just say the right thing is heart shattering to me. 5 months ago
