Shyness Support Group
Shyness is a feeling of insecurity that certain people experience while being among others, talking with others, asking favors of others, etc. The initial cause of shyness can vary. Scientists have located some genetic data that supports the hypothesis that shyness is at least partially genetic.

What have you done to act on outgoing feelings? It seems like a solution, to think about the opposite of shy (outgoing? confident? open? sharing? sociable?) Yesterday I took an invite to a b-day party of a girl I don't know too well. It was a good way to realize, I'm not the only one who felt awkward or didn't want to go because I am not the most sociable person I know. I also took an invitation to dinner and to go with my boyfriend to his friends house, though I had hardly anything to say and sort of isolated, at least I did not wait in the car. What I'm saying in, that by acting on something opposite of shy, we reinforce a new feeling/behavior/action and it gets easier. When we act on the shy feeling/behavior/action that gets stronger. What does the opposite of shy meant to you, and do you have an opportunity to act that way? I am a shy person. I also used to be an entertainer, and I work as a background actor. I can still do that and be shy. It is not easy. Some people can't believe it. We all have the ability to act on that which we desire to be, if that is outgoing, we can choose those behaviors, and it may not go as planned at first, but it is a step in the right direction.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have been trying so hard to jump out of my comfort zone, and so far I think I am doing pretty well considering. I have talked to new people.. and joked a little with a guy without feeling like crying or throwing up. baby steps is the key!
