Overcoming Social Anxiety: How a Once Shy Girl Overcame Social Anxiety through Self Love and Natural Social Skills

Are you a shy person? I was once myself, and I want to share what I have learned from my own life.

• Quality is more important than quantity when selecting friends.

• Social skills are as simple as smiling and saying hi to people.

• Discernment is key to picking the right people to build you up, not tear you down. Some people have poor intentions.

• Standing up for yourself is the single most important thing you can do.

• Talking to people or standing up for yourself is akin to the feeling of jumping out of an airplane…scary but exhilarating and worth it!

• Cherish old and true friends.

• Try activities you actually love. You will meet so many people!

• Passion overrides shyness. Find what you love and you will forget to be shy!

• Embrace your introversion; there are a lot of advantages to being an introvert. But don’t let shyness confine you.

• Learn to be comfortable on your own. Then you have the confidence to attract other people.

• Don’t judge people by their outward appearance. Get to know them first.

• Work on finding your true values. Experimentation to find them out is OK. Then stick to those values.

• Always, always, always be yourself or your friendships will fall apart.

• Mental illness and bad experiences can set your progress back but you will bounce back.

• And more!
