I did mention I was speaking from the heart and this video was not edited, but it turns out I discussed 6 ways how to stop being around people. Here they are..

1. Is it even true? I believe when you were young someone falsely labeled you as shy, when in reality you were just quiet, and observing what was around you. However, you kept hearing that you were shy over and over and it got to a point where you personally identified yourself as shy. The problem with being labeled as shy is all the negative associations tied with it (Awkward, lacking confidence, not making eye contact, looking down at the ground, feeling insecure, etc). I bring up this point because once you create doubt about being shy, that is when you’ll be motivated to work towards overcoming your shyness

2.Miracle scale. It’s tough making progress with anything in life when you don’t know where to start. That why you will use the miracle scale. You’ll rate yourself from 1 to 10, 1 being the shyest in the world, and 10 being a smooth talker, and whatever your number is, identify what a person who is a point higher would do. Do they send back food when their order wasn’t right at dinner? Do they ask an employee at the grocery store where the toothpaste is? They are your rules, whatever it is, commit to doing it, and watch the miracle unfold and you slowing but surely overcome your shyness! Here’s a link to the book I mentioned in the video when discussing the miracle scale: Switch by Chip and Dan Heath:http://amzn.to/2lBYB3E

3. Picture a Shy Person Approaching You. Seriously imagine this. How would you respond? Would you laugh and tell them to go away or would you be sympathetic towards them and try to make them feel comfortable around you? Imagining this will change how you feel about the rejection you fear from approaching others.

4.Get Your Geek On. This is to create doubt. I’m confident that no matter how shy you are, there is one topic you are passionate about, a topic that you aren’t shy in, and in fact are extremely confident. Make an effort to put yourself in areas where you shine, where you know what you’re talking about, and watch that doubt you have of being shy for the rest of your life grow larger and larger.

5. Become genuinely interested in other people. I believe if you truly care about the other person and you're just interested in showing that you care about them, and not in getting something(Approval) that the words will flow and you'll somehow know what to say, you're shyness will be a think of the past.

6..Start celebrating progress. In this section of the video where I walk through exactly how I overcome my shyness, I share one key part. The fact that I linked pleasure to talking to people, I know longer linked pain to approaching strangers, I started to have so much excitement with each social interaction that in a matter of weeks my shyness was a thing of the past. Here I am today making a video on how to stop being shy around people, which to me, seems like a miracle. Use these tips and watch yourself get the same results as me!
