Maybe most of your siblings are girls, the more reason you need to relate with boys more, play football, have a close male pal, go watch football interesting to you or not, just try to be around guys the more.

As I guy I'm always shy around my fellow guys cry I don’t know why, im trying to overcome the shyness is not just working I act a little bit feminine but not all that girly tho, I’m always shy that they will monk me or say something I wouldn’t like…

How do I overcome this shyness, it actually ki!!ing Me, im an introvert because of this. There are some guys I’m not comfortable around them, when I’m with them I want them to go, secondly if I see group of guys, I will be shy to pass there… if I walk into a place sometimes and I see lots of guys I will be shy at first, then when I look at their faces, the shyness will reduce a bit

What do I do? Is it normal.. I need advice please from

Start preaching the gospel and doing evangelism.
Then also you should pray to recieve the Holy Spirit as He gives boldness and courage

Lmao, I’m not that feminine, just a little bit. The way I talk maybe, you know when someone say why you Dey do like woman… that always send chill down my spine, I hate hearing it kiss undecided

Add bass to your voice when talking to your fellow guys. Stop saying using good morning, good afternoon and good evening or how are you?, when greeting fellow guys.
Use words like...
Baba how far na
How your side.
Big man wetin sup
Your reply should be
Baba I just dey
Nothing much...
Always make eye contact...

If you masturbate, stop it..

If stay indoor alone for too long, stop it...

If you press phone for too long.. minimize it....

Come back to reality

Be deliberate about changing.. communicate more with people, if you don't know how, learn it...

Just make sure you are not mistaken inferiority complex for introvert..

I actually don’t fancy things like watching football that what 90% of guys do, I only fancy adventure, movies, wrestling and the likes…
look for guys you can connect with on this level. Make your own crew, then do stuff together. This is one way to build confidence.

Let's not beat around the bush.. it's either you are a nerdy or a gay.
But nerds are shy at both sexes be it male or female.

Wow, easier said than done
Sometime I want to hug around guys, but that courage won’t be there, I will think they will laugh at me or call me boy/girl or whatever and it killing me very much.
What's all this sef... At first read I thought maybe ur just a very shy person who's slow to interacting or socializing but then u want to start hugging guys around? Don't get me wrong. No crime hugging someone spontaneously if the situation arises but to premeditate on it and even fantasize about how to do it is what I can't understand about u. If this is ur way of coming out the closet then I can't judge ur sexuality or sexual preference. Just stop confusing urself. Do u really like women and do beautiful and sexy women make ur blood rush or is it guys that does it for u? Do u find urself sexually aroused around the guys u so wish to hug? Or are u just a naturally shy guy that feels intimidated by other bolder guys and wish u were as bold? Who knows u might just be suffering from inferiority complex or Are u shy around women too? What arouses u sexually? Do u love fvcking pussy like the rest of us or it's disgusting to u... Sorry I had to ask all these because ur situation isn't crystal clear undecided

it had to be a woman who typed this rubbish. una always use emotions to think. its your same gender that encourages and enforces all these LGBTQ rubbish. A full blown man you are telling to embrace his feminine side. What exactly do you think the implication of that is?

boost your confidence and make sure you go after girls you feel are higher than you and in doing so, even your fellow men would respect you.

Try not to look timid. Say what you know, learn what you don't know and keep quiet when you don't have what to say - speak intelligently. Go out to gym.

Don't join bad gangs in an attempt to be less shy.

Above all, look into people's eyes when talking to them - it gives you edge over them and you can overcome your "shy" attitude.

Is shyness a feminine thing?

Be who you are.. If you are feminine, continue that way....
Never ever try to be what you are not....
If you are shy around guys, just work on your self-esteem... Don't to mingle with guys...
Being alive is a single race...
So why leave your lane??
You said you are "a bit" feminine, even if you are very feminine, there will still be people both guys and girls that like you as a frnd...

have you been molested by an adult male as a child before?(a homo'sexual),what you are exhibiting is a sign of trauma and lack of self confidence which is often seen in people who have been raped before or bullied and gender shamed.you obviously need to see a councilor, another reason could be that you just find men attractive for some reason.

Finding it hard to blend with other guys has nothing to do with these things you mentioned , a lot of kids who grew up in a fenced house with very few friends under strict daddy and mommy rules always act that way around kids who grew up in the streets and had all the exposure to do whatever they like and say whatever they want

@ Op, you must rebuke any thought of this. I know she's just joking though.

You need to hit the gym to build up not just your body, but also your self confidence. Trust me, it works like magic
Re: I’m Shy Around Guys, How Do I Overcome The Shyness by beyondPen(m): 2:06pm On Jul 16, 2023
Its normal to be shy around guys.

Its upbringing especially when your dad is all macho and dont have that total male dominance and it isnt exuding in you.

I was like that but how i overcame mine was:

As time got by i got my own pack.
Every male in life should get their own packs who will correct them, insult them, defend them, cheat them and even act as wingmen to them so they can get ladies and give them confidence until you dont need them again.

This is how you overcome it.

Or register for a martial art class preferably boxing

Are you also shy around women or it's only men ?

Your issue might be more of psycological. Being shy and introvert as the same time might signal some fundamental issues you might not recognise. These signals you are referring to are just the secondary/result which are visible to you. I will advise you seek professional advise. I have seen people with similar conditions finally diagnozed mental health issue. You just need to understand yourself and seek professional advise where possible. I believe it is manageable and can be overcome. There is no reason being shy around guys like you and being introvert can be good up to certain again but you have to outgrow it. Life is dynamic and should be lived to the fullest.

thats your opinion,what does it have to do with what i said?you have a valid opinion as one reason to why that could happen,but mentioning me and nullifying what i said to make your point is just, outright boorish,its what an ilitrate would do tbh.
