It's a fact
that most people - shy or otherwise - - are much more concerned
about themselves than they are about the people they meet. They
may not be as shy as you, but you can be almost certain that they
are still undergoing an internal monologue focussed on themselves
when they meet you.
Realising this
fact - that you are not the centre of other people's attention,
but they are focussing mainly on themselves - can help you to overcome
your shyness. The simple fact is that most people are just not that
interested in other people so much as interested in themselves.
Focus on this idea by focussing on the other person. Think about
how the person is feeling, ask non-invasive questions and direct
the attention taking place in the conversation onto the other person
and this will help if you are a shy woman or shy man.
The other piece
of advice I have to give you, the shy girl or shy guy, is that you
might feel less intimidated by looking for people to meet at a pen
pals style meeting site, rather than a strightforward dating site.
The pen pals approach is less in your face - you might be there
just to make friends, for example. So there's less pressure. One
of the best pen pals sites I've come across (because it protects
your personal details and gives you more control than most) is PenPalsPlanet.com.
It's free to join, and you don't have to use the site beyond
what you feel comfortable doing. Why not take it a step at a time?
Go and look at the site first. Then carry out some free searches
for other shy people (or perhaps look for people who obviously aren't
shy - another approach) then only contact people or take part when
you feel ready. Give it a try - it could change your life.
