Are you shy and socially awkward?
If yes, then this post is for you.

Here are three ways you can get out of your shell and live the life you always wanted as an introverted shy person.

1.Develop a `zero bleeps given` attitude by remembering that you have ONE LIFE

This is going to be a hard sell for the shy ones out there.

The introverted among us have higher sensitivity to the word, thoughts, and opinions of others.

However, you`ve got to let all that go if you want to become confident and charming.

People are going to think you are strange, uncool or stupid. Accept it and move forward anyway!

How do you do this?

By remembering that you only have ONE LIFE.

You are going to die at some point and you don`t know when that is, so GO FOR IT!

Yes, you will stumble.

Yes, you will fall flat on your face.

Yes, you will look like a clown.

SO WHAT??

Failure is just a stepping stone to your success and a way for you to course correct.

Feel that fear and DO IT ANYWAY!

Develop the habit of moving forward NO MATTER WHAT and you will become the confident and charming person who won`t let any setbacks or obstacles stop them from getting what they want.

2. Accentuate the POSITIVE. Eliminate the NEGATIVE

Shy people tend to focus on the negative.

`He`s looking at me funny. I must look weird to him!`

`She`s frowning. I must have pissed her off!`

`What if I look like a complete dick and I don`t know what to say?`

As hard as this may be, and I know myself because I am an introvert, zero in on the positives of every situation and carry yourself with a positive attitude.

Always keep eye contact with the people you are interacting with and smile often.

Keep calm when you are faced with a confronting situation, breathe and express yourself fully.

Stand tall and upright with your shoulders back and chest out.

Pay attention to the way you are dressed as well. If you dress well and people notice, it gives you an immediate confidence boost.

If someone gives you a hard time or is mean to you, just remember that you don`t know what is really behind all that.

They could have had a bad day or have had a rough life.

They could have been through a bad breakup recently.

They might have lost their job.

You just don`t know and you shouldn`t concern yourself with it either.

Keep calm and don`t get angry.

Simply thank the person for their time and walk away.

You don`t need that negativity or stress.

3. Practice, practice, practice

Confidence is a skill.

Like any skill, you only get better at it by putting it into practice regularly.

One of the best ways to do this is to do something that scares you every day.

Challenge yourself by getting into uncomfortable situations on a regular basis.

Don`t panic or run away. Face it head on and do your best.

What you will find is that the particular situation you are faced with is not that scary and that you have more than enough ability to handle it with charm and aplomb.

For example, challenge yourself to talk to one stranger every day for 5 minutes.

Practice your small talk and building rapport.

After a month of doing this, you will become more confident and charming and have the bravado necessary to talk to anyone.

The confidence that you build will enhance all areas of your life and build better careers, relationships, and professional relations.

But, it comes with practice.

Sitting around and hoping for it will not get you any closer to being a confident, charming person.

Get out there and make yourself uncomfortable!

4. Keeping Developing Your Intuition.

If you are a shy guy and an introvert, it would be wise for you to develop your intuition. Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively without the need for conscious reasoning.

Example: A friend invites you to a cool party. You attend the party but in just 3 minutes after you arrived, you felt uncomfortable for some odd unknown reason and left. A day later, your friend tells you that a fight broke out in the party and people got injured and your immediate response is,

"I knew it. I don't know how but I just knew it."

That right there is intuition. Kinda like a gut feeling.

Extroverts have it, but because most introverts are quiet in nature and spend most of their time listening to/observing people they are able to smell bullshit while it's miles away. We can tell when people are genuinely friendly and when people are as deceitful as a snake.

As a guy, intuition can guide you from falling to the trap of deceitful cunning ladies who only want to use you as a handbag because you are, as they put it, a very "Nice" person. Shy gentle introverted guys are always the victims of cunning narcissistic ladies. They finish last in the dating game and always end up marrying ladies who have been used and dumped over and over and over again by extroverted guys.

How do you develop your intuition? Keep observing people but not in a creepy way.
Talkless and listen to people more. Develop a habit of reading and a hunger for knowledge.

Note: Dont be too hard on yourself if you don't have much friends. The older you get the less friends you will have and besides, its not your fault, like i said, we can smell bullshit from miles away. Fake friends are everywhere.

Superb addition bro.

To add to the "Nice guy" gist. Just about everything a Nice guy does is consiously or unconsciously calculated to gain someone's approval or to avoid disapproval.

Live your life, everyone is too busy and "selfish" about theirs.
