What is the hardest part of shyness to overcome?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
This is a difficult question to answer, because everyone's shyness is different. The most difficult thing may be assuming the mannerisms that outgoing people possess, such as a relaxed open posture, good eye contact, an expressive, confident sounding voice, an easy smile, and so on. This may be because mannerisms are largely controlled by the nervous system, rather than the conscious mind. However, there is one technique that may help somewhat with this.

What was your hardest obstacle to overcome during the Challenge?

Body For Life :: Grand Champion 2000
My biggest obstacles were internal. I turned 40 in the 6 th week of my program and realized I was finally attaining the body I had never ever allowed myself to know. It was challenging to physically push further than I'd ever done before... but by far the most difficult thing for me was trusting that the process that had proved successful for so many others, would work for me. I had to remind myself to relax and trust in each day's successes.

What is WRONG with shyness?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
There is much truth to this statement. The shy are unlikely to gossip or brag, be pushy or demanding, hostile or overbearing or overly aggressive. They tend to make loyal friends; they work harder at keeping a relationship going once they succeed at forming one. They often appear more deep and thoughtful, more discreet and unassuming.

Is shyness inborn or something that's learned?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
There is evidence that a biological tendency towards shyness may be inherited from our parents; in other words, there may be a genetic component to shyness. One of the foremost researchers into the biological basis of shyness, Harvard psychologist Jerome Kagan, came across information showing that shyness in adults could often be traced as far back as the age of three. Skeptics thought that children might have had ample time to pick up the trait of shyness from their environment by that age.

Is shyness a form of selfishness?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
quot;We're so concerned about ourselves and how other see us?" Doesn't this describe everyone? How often have you heard, "Don't worry about your shyness; everyone is too concerned with themselves to notice that you're shy." More and more evidence is showing that shyness is an inborn trait in some people. Furthermore, to a large degree, shyness stems from difficulty in "thinking of things to say" to people. This is why the nervousness kicks in.

What is the difference between shyness and introversion?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
According to one dictionary, an introvert is "a person more interested in his own mental life than in the world around him." Another defines introversion as "directing one's interests upon oneself rather than external objects or events" while an extrovert is "a person whose interest is more in his environment and in other people than in himself." To me, these definitions seem a little unfair.

This boils down to discipline and preparation. Finding recipes you like to eat and eating them when you get a cooked food craving will help. Also, get some raw books and inform yourself of the negative effects of cooked food. If you are really craving something cooked, grab a plate of your favorite raw dish and read one of the powerful sections in a book to remind yourself why you are sticking to this diet. If you go cold turkey and stay raw, your cravings dwindle and eventually disappear.

Hand Cut Coins- FAQ
Well there were several. My first obstacle was learning "control" of the saw. It took years before I could cut the rim of the coin, and have it look round. The next hardest, and is still hard to this day, is picturing the design. Say someone comes up and wants a frog. I know I can't make it look like an actual frog, they don't want that anyway. I have to picture the frog in a cartoonish way, and find a way to cut it into a coin. With a coin, I don't have colors, or depth.

Is shyness a form of low self-esteem?

alt.support.shyness FAQ--Overcome shyness, make friends
Contrary to popular belief, not all shy people suffer from inferiority complexes or low self-esteem. Shyness is a very specific way of responding to a particular type of situation. Of course, shy people may eventually develop feelings of inferiority in the area of human relations, but here the low self esteem is the result of shyness, not the cause of it. This is not to say that no shy people suffer from an inferiority complex.
