What are some tips/advice on breaking shyness that does not include alcohol?

Well, first of all, if other people are drinking but you want to keep your cool... it doesn't matter if you drink or not. You can act goofy or outgoing and such and because they are drunk they wont reply with awkwardness.





But the big thing to remember is that no one cares what you are doing really, they are all to busy thinking about themselves and how they are acting and so on and so forth. Everyone is too caught up in their own world. Just remember, the only time people look down on others for making a mistake or doing something awkward is when that person isn't confident about it.


If you do something crazy but act like you dont give a sh** then everyone else will think ';wow, that guy is so confident!';





Its all about bravado, Just force yourself to do something over the top, get a little crazy first and then tone it down to where you want to be.What are some tips/advice on breaking shyness that does not include alcohol?
well, what kind of shy are you?


If you only shy around girls/guys - find the source of your shyness, are you comfortable with what you look like and what you do and who you are?


Remember people are drawn to others who look confident and comfortable with themselves!


Try looking in the mirror and find the best part of you, the part you like the best eg your smile, coz if you like it, others are bound to like it too !


Try starting up a conversation with complete strangers , eg. if your waiting in a queue start up a conversation with the guy behind you, it can be about the most arb thing...just think to yourself - is this person ever going to see you again???What are some tips/advice on breaking shyness that does not include alcohol?
