10 easy tips on how to overcome shyness
Work on your self-esteem
Your self-esteem can affect different areas of your life. For example, the way you see yourself and how you react to social scenarios depend on your self-esteem. In most cases, shy people worry too much about making mistakes and other people’s opinions about them.
In addition, shyness and low self-esteem can also result in depression [1], loneliness, and anxiety. According to research, people with high self-esteem are more likely to see themselves positively, irrespective of any mistakes or shortcomings. If you are intentional about strengthening your self-esteem [2], you will be more outspoken and confident when talking to other people.
