whitejs: Is your shyness worse with the opposite sex? Or is only with the opposite sex. There are shy people who are only that way with the opposite sex. With the same sex, they are very confident. 1 Like |

I was in this shoe, even when I had low self esteem then, I always want to say or contribute something in a public discussion and it really helped... I cannot easily forget how I made my friend to hide his face in shame during our three weeks in NYSC camp then as I couldn't complete my manifesto speech in a group of Corp members.... That same year, I broke loose from it with the help of (NCCF) who gave chance to speak and express myself in public functions.... I can still remember when I attended one of the biggest Redeem Church during my service year and after the sunday school session, one of the usher came and carried my Bible; he was taking it to the ministers sit and I told him sir I am not a minister and that I was comfortable where I was sitting. He replied, the Pastor asked me to bring your things up here as you will be one of our ministers today... Ewooohhh, my heart sink immediately. I tried all my tricks to convince the pastor that I wasn't ready but it didn't bear fruit. He said I will do it and I had to gather myself together and I actually did it... It felt good standing in front of a huge crowd and that changed me totally.. Today, I am a different person.. Many a times, we're afraid coz we don't want to make mistakes and become an object of ridicule. But when you realized that mistakes are part of the learning process, then achieving your goals becomes easy.. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

grandstar:Not really much on one-on-one interaction. Some times I have more confidence, some times I don't. Strangers > female > male worst with crowd or group E.g; If people are already sitting in church, while going to the front row, I feel it, especially if I came alone. (very high) When people are already sitting in a class, I feel it while entering the class. (high) I feel it while walking on the street with people hanging around, or sitting in shops facing the road. ( <high) I feel it with tenants - the ones I'm not close to. (<<high) On stage esp with crowd: (extra high) |

whitejs: As an adult, my social anxiety came as a result of my voice sounding weird I think because people look at me weird when I speak. It's been a struggle growing out of it and what's funny is as a kid I was very confident because then all kids sounded weird. 1 Like |

I'm sure I'm much older than you. You're not the only one. It is not your fault but that of your parents, elders, school/education system in Nigeria. If you're grown enough to be in the full life and working level, people you're far better than will seize upon that you say you're not good enough. This country is a mess because people don't know nothing but wield power to decide things. I can say much more because this has been an issue in my life, but let me leave it here 3 Likes |

I was in your shoe before i went for my Youths Service, I trough in a School even before i was mobilize for Camp. I am a Champ now. Also if you have a community Association or any gathering aspire for a leadership role like the Secretary thats another morale booster because you'd have no choice than to always talk and address people... You'd sure overcome. 2 Likes |

whitejs: Read up "social anxiety" or "social phobia". I think they are basically the same thing Extra. Read up "General Anxiety Disorder". Extra extra: "Agoraphobia" You might be suffering from mild forms. One way to help is to engage in vigorous exercise. This boosts your mood and reduce your tendency to be self conscious 1 Like |
