Why are some people shy and others not? One explanation is nature. Research has shown that approximately 10% of young children are "born shy". Throughout their lifetime, these children appear unusually cautious and silent when in contact with unfamiliar people or environments. There is a more complex explanation for the issue of nature. During childhood, some people were ridiculed and became the subject of ridicule due to momentary mistakes. Other people grow up in families that believe that being loved is a result of competition due to appearance or success in activities. The third explanation focuses on culture.
Do men know why you are shy?
Shyness has the highest proportion among Asian countries and regions, which is the result of a study of nine countries and regions. The most prominent ones are Japan and Taiwan, with the lowest being Israel. Part of the reason for these differences is due to the cultural emphasis on different content. In these Asian countries, surrendering to authority due to social failures is considered a shame; In Israel, being criticized on the surface for taking risks can be seen as encouragement. The fourth reason may come from a recent report on the prevalence of shyness in the United States: young people are surrounded by electronic products, and they spend long hours alone watching TV, playing games, surfing the internet, and sending emails, resulting in social isolation and reducing opportunities for face-to-face contact. Excessive use of the internet can make people feel lonely, isolated, and even more shy.
When shyness becomes more extreme, it forces people's lives to undergo further changes, minimizing their social happiness and maximizing their sense of social discomfort and isolation. Here are a few simple principles and strategies for shy people. I hope everyone can think deeply and try to do them.
Realize that you are not the only one feeling shy. Everyone you meet may be more shy than you.
Even with genetic factors, shyness can be changed. But this requires courage and perseverance, just like changing a habit that has been around for a long time.
Try smiling at the people you come into contact with and making eye contact with them.
Talk to others, speak loudly, and use the clearest voice, especially when you say your name or ask for information.
Strive to be the first to ask questions or express opinions in a new social environment. Prepare some interesting things to say, be the first to say them. Everyone will appreciate the 'ice breaker', and no one will think you're shy anymore.
Never underestimate yourself. On the contrary, think about what actions you need to take next to achieve the achievement you want.
Be careful to make others feel comfortable, especially when looking for other shy people. Doing so will lower your self-awareness.
Before you go to places that usually make you shy, practice meditation, relaxation, and focus your thoughts on the ideal state.
If you are a shy person, please try the above methods; If you are not shy, you can encourage those shy friends and family to change their way of life and live more confidently and happily.
