Here are some effective techniques for overcoming shyness at a party or social gathering.
Focus Outside to Stop Negative Thoughts
2
That’s why it’s a great way to focus outside of yourself, rather than run negative thoughts over and over. If you want to get out of your head, you can ask yourself questions that will get your mind to focus outwardly.
Don’t Face the Crowd
If you get shy, a better way to feel good is to avoid facing the most crowded place.
3
Since shyness results in over-stimulation of your brain, you need to give yourself fewer things to focus on. This will calm you, even if you’re in a very crowded place.
4
Shyness also comes from putting too much pressure on yourself to be impressive. If you want to feel more comfortable, try a technique that most successful communicators use. Speak as though you’re not sure of a lot of things, or as if you’re too tired to talk about serious subjects.
Go Early To Make Yourself Feel At Home
Another great way to overcome shyness at a party is to get there early and talk to anyone you find. Go early, order something, or talk with the staff.
5
This simple change will make it ten times easier for you to feel comfortable throughout the night.
A. How to overcome shyness by having a plan-B
B. “Dumb down” (简化) your communication style
C. Make yourself feel at home before everyone else comes.
D. Instead, try to stand where you’re facing a less crowded part of the room.
E. But it’s hard for you to make friends with anyone if you are too shy.
F. The way to stop negative thoughts is to replace them by something else.
