| 10 Advantages Of Being Shy by Oluwatosean(m): 12:56am On Dec 28, 2014 |
I have noticed that most ladies detest shy guys and i dont really know why but the thing is we are the best kinda guy you could ever come across. Being shy isnt artificial, its a natural thing, we were born with it so its not anyones fault for being shy.
I actually consulted google for these points, something we shy poeple should see we have that makes us better than those that are more outgoing/extroverted
1. Modesty is Attractive
Most shy people are
modest; they are the last
ones to announce their
accomplishments or let
the world know how
great they are. They may
shrink from compliments
or downplay their own
positive attributes.
Although too much
modesty can erode self-
esteem, a healthy dose is
considered an attractive
trait by many.
2. Thinking Before You
Act
If you are shy or socially
anxious you probably
tend to look before you
leap. This trait can be
helpful when it comes to
many life decisions.
Thinking carefully and
planning before taking
action are important for
many of life's hurdles
including planning for the
unexpected, avoiding
unnecessary risk, and
setting long-term goals.
3. Being Approachable
When shyness is not
extreme, it can make you
more approachable to
others. Shyness, and the
modesty and self-effacing
nature that go with it, are
rarely threatening to
others and may lead
people to feel
comfortable around you.
In other words, you don't
have an "attitude" that
makes it hard to
approach you.
4. Calming Effect on
Others
Shy people can
sometimes have a
calming effect on those
who are more high
strung. Though you may
experience inner turmoil
as a shy person, your
outward persona is
probably one of being
calm and quiet. This
calmness and ability to
"not react" may have a
positive effect on those
around you.
5. Human Services
Positions
Do you work in a human
services position? If so,
and if you are shy, your
personality probably
serves you well in terms
of being an empathic
listener; being shy makes
it easier for other people
to open up to you.
6. More Trustworthy
Since you don't toot your
own horn and aren't the
first to tell everyone
about your
accomplishments, others
may find you more
believable and
trustworthy. This can also
make you a better leader.
7. Ability to Overcome
If you have struggled
with shyness your whole
life, then you know what
it means to battle,
endure, and overcome
difficult feelings. Without
your struggle against
shyness you would not
have developed the
ability to cope with life's
difficulties.
8. Deeper Friendships
Chances are that when
you do manage to
develop friendships, they
are deep and long-
lasting. Since making
friends is not easy, you
may place more value on
the friends that you have;
and your tendency to
avoid small-talk means
that your friendships are
not likely to be
superficial.
9. Successful at Solitary
Work
Many jobs require the
ability to focus and
concentrate in a solitary
environment; this is
where many shy and
socially anxious people
find great success. Not
having a lot of social ties
means that you have less
interruptions and less
need to validate what
you are doing in the eyes
of others.
10. Experience Rewards
More
Fully
Research shows that the
brains of shy people react
more strongly to both
negative and positive
stimuli. This means that
while you find social
situations more
threatening than your
outgoing counterparts,
you may also find
positive situations more
rewarding. Your
increased sensitivity to
reward may mean you
find more value in
working toward goals. 2 Likes |
