Shyness - The One
Mistake Most Shy
People Make

Are you prepared to forget
everything you thought you
knew about being less shy

3. and replace it with the truth?
Then read on.
The one biggest mistake I
see shy people making is
being controlled by their
emotions. Nearly all shy
people make this basic
mistake.
● If you avoid people who
make you feel shy, then
you are being controlled
by your emotions.

4. ● If you avoid public
speaking because it
makes you feel anxious,
you are being controlled
by your emotions.
● If you don't do something
just because it makes you
feel nervous or afraid, then
you are being controlled
by your emotions.
I hate to repeat myself, but
this is an absolutely essential
point. In order to get over

5. your shyness, you have to
become less controlled by
your emotions. This doesn't
mean to suppress your
emotions, it simply means to
act in spite of them. Mark
Twain was the one who said
"Courage is not the absence
of fear. It is acting in spite of
it."
That is the ability you need
to build if you want to
overcome your shyness. You

6. have to have the ability to act
in spite of feeling a certain
emotion. This means that if
you feel afraid to do
something, you do it anyway.
Act in spite of fear.
● If you raise your hand in
class even though it
makes you nervous, you
are acting in spite of fear.
● If you talk to people even
though they make you feel
shy, then you're no longer

7. being controlled by your
emotions.
● If you talk to groups and
make public presentations,
then you are the one in
charge now, not your fear.
Once you start acting in spite
of fear, you will become
more relaxed and easygoing
in situations which used to
make you nervous and shy.
When you stop avoiding your
fears, you allow your mind to

8. desensitize to them. In
psychology, this is also
called habituation.
This approach is very
common for therapists to use
on someone with social
anxiety. In
cognitive-behavioral therapy,
the "behavioral" part is acting
in spite of fear. Of course,
many shy people can't or are
not able to simply "face their
fears."

9. This is why changes to your
thinking are also a necessary
part of getting over shyness.
That's the cognitive part of
cognitive-behavioral therapy.
