1. Change the Mindset
Get to know yourself. Maybe you always feel shy, nervous, and tend to be quiet if you are in a crowd. Try to find out why you are so careful or afraid. By knowing what makes you feel embarrassed, you can overcome it more quickly. Also, know that shyness is not personality, but rather an obstacle that blocks your journey.
Don't focus solely on what needs to be fixed, but also think about your strengths. Maybe all this time you tend to close yourself, but you also have a very good ability to observe others and understand them.
2. Develop your strength.
After knowing the abilities that are your strengths, continue to develop to make it even better. This method will increase feelings of worth and make you feel more confident.
For example, if you know that you have good ability to observe and understand others, pay attention and develop this ability. Start by empathizing with others. This method will make it easier for you to start conversations with people you don't know.
3. Don't expect perfection.
Nobody is perfect. So you don't need to feel frustrated and don't let this affect your inner feelings. If left unchecked, frustration can cause insecurity and depression. Admit and value your strengths instead of just focusing on aspects that you need to improve.
4.Build a good self-image.
It's easy to think of yourself as a shy and withdrawn person from social interaction. Don't connect between shyness and feeling rejected, weird, or unusual. On the contrary, accept the fact that you are a unique person. Don't force yourself so you can be accepted or have to be like someone else, but try to find comfort by being yourself.
